Summit leads the VALORANT Champions 2026 map pool as the newest addition to the competitive rotation since its June 2026 release, featuring droppable walls that alter sightlines and rotations in its three-lane layout. Through 78 maps played in the Shanghai tournament, it has appeared 16 times—more than Lotus, Ascent, or any other option—reflecting consistent pro-team preference in vetoes and series across group stage and playoffs. This early volume and sustained selection rate underpin the trader consensus at 99.9% implied probability. Remaining best-of-five series could narrow the gap only if opponents coordinate heavy bans or if decider maps shift sharply toward alternatives like Lotus or Sunset in the final weekend.
