How to interpret the report

Evidence, scope and limitations

Demo-derived

Each event retains its match, round, player, team at the time, utility type, side and calibrated landing coordinate.

Sample-specific

The totals cover 2 processed professional matches. They should not be generalized into a complete map meta without a larger sample.

No invented lineups

A landing dot does not reveal the starting position or aim point. Those details appear only when a verified public guide supplies the exact throw.
