VALORANT Map Rotation System
Understanding competitive map pools and rotation mechanics
Current Map Pool System
VALORANT's map rotation system maintains seven maps in the active pool for Competitive, Premier, and Deathmatch game modes. This strategic limitation ensures optimal variety while preventing player overwhelm and maintaining competitive integrity.
Why Seven Maps?
Seven maps provide the perfect balance for competitive play, allowing equal bans in best-of-three and best-of-five formats without map repetition in professional series.
