Abyss dominates trader consensus at a 99.2% implied probability for least-played map at VALORANT Champions 2026 because it returned to the competitive pool only in Patch 13.04 and immediately drew the highest ban rate alongside the lowest pick rate in the Shanghai group stage. With just eight maps contested out of 78 played so far—trailing Summit at 16 and Lotus at 13—teams have consistently vetoed the map’s edge-fall mechanics and limited recent pro VODs. The narrow remaining playoff bracket offers little room for reversal, though a sudden shift toward Abyss in the grand final or an unexpected team preference could still add maps and trim its lead.
