Abyss and Haven lead the least-played map market at VALORANT Champions 2026 with closely matched implied probabilities because both have recorded the fewest official plays through group stage and early playoffs in Shanghai. Abyss returned to the competitive pool only in Patch 13.04 after a five-month absence, limiting established pro strategies and contributing to frequent vetoes. Haven’s three-site layout and consistent defender edge in recent data have similarly reduced its selection rate compared with two-site staples like Ascent or Split. With playoffs still underway and remaining best-of-three and best-of-five series able to shift totals, traders see limited separation between the frontrunners and view the rest of the pool as unlikely to finish lowest.
