These teams benefits most from the map pool change
Train is out, while Ancient is in. Which teams will the new change favor?
In 2021 Train has been the map, that has been selected the fewest times in matches between top 30 teams.
Most played maps of 2021 (Top 30 teams)
1. Inferno - 167
2. Nuke - 151
3. Dust2 - 147
4. Mirage - 140
5. Overpass - 122
6. Vertigo - 116
7. Train - 104
In this light, the recent change in map pool makes sense. But who will benefit from it?
First of all Team Liquid and Team Vitality must be clapping their hands. Both teams have not registered a single match on the map in 2021 being their permanent ban.
In the G2 camp, they are probably also smiling. Their worst map in 2021 has been eliminated. The French/Balkan roster had a 37.5 % win rate on Train this year. Number two in the world, Heroic is perhaps sharing the same feeling. A 33.3% win rate on the map this year makes Train their worst.
On the other end of the spectrum, we find FunPlus Phoenix. The new roster has won all their five matches against top 30 teams in the world this year. Furia has registered an 80% win rate, and will also be sad to see the map taken out of the competitive map pool.
Gambit finishes the list of teams, that have weakened their map pool after today's changes. Train is their statistically third-best map with a win rate of 69.2% in 2021.
