The seven maps in the current competitive pool—Haven, Split, Abyss, Ascent, Lotus, Summit, and Sunset—enter VALORANT Champions 2026 with nearly identical implied probabilities because recent patch rotations and agent meta shifts have produced balanced pick/ban dynamics across the field. Patch 13.04’s return of Abyss alongside established maps like Haven and Split eliminated clear outliers, while team compositions favor flexible site setups that reduce systematic veto patterns. With group stage matches beginning September 24 in Shanghai and best-of-three series relying on standard veto procedures, no single map shows consistent over- or under-selection in scrim data or regional VCT results. This parity sustains tight trader consensus around even distribution through the double-elimination bracket.
