Vitality Win the Budapest Major After Dropping the Grand Final's Opening Map
FaZe took Nuke 13-6 to open the Budapest Major final and then lost three straight — 13-3 on Dust II, 13-9 on Inferno, 13-2 on Overpass. Vitality finished the Major 6-1, two maps lost in thirteen. FaZe had played eight matches to reach that final, more than anyone else in Budapest. The Major itself opened on Bo1 Swiss, which is why thirty-three of its forty matches ended without the loser taking a map.
2025-12-04 – 2025-12-14, part of Season 3. 40 matches played across 68 maps at Tier 1 events — HLTV Majors and international LAN events with a prize pool between $600,000 and $2,000,000.

Per-map veto counts and the thin-sample rule
A row marked "thin sample" played under a quarter of this event's own busiest map — the same relative cut `/pro-meta` uses for a thin season or month, applied here within this one event. A map with no CT/T bar was banned before it was ever played, not omitted.
against the seasonHow it compares with its own season
This event played 68 maps at 52.5% CT; Season 3 as a whole played 912 maps at 53.0% CT (3.0pts CT-leaning) — 0.4pts more T-sided than the season as a whole.
68 maps is under a quarter of Season 3's 912 maps — a small sample against the season it sat in, marked here rather than read as equally trustworthy.
