The highly-anticipated returning VALORANT map has been banned in every VCT LOCK//IN match so far

Split is officially back in the VALORANT map rotation for competitive and unrated play, but at the VCT LOCK//IN in São Paulo to kick off the pro 2023 season, it holds the unfortunate distinction of being the only map to be banned in every series so far.

It’s still a relatively small sample size, and early in the massive 32-team single-elimination bracket, but Split has been banned in the map pick/ban phase in all six series so far at VCT LOCK//IN. Both Split and Fracture have not been played yet over the six best-of-three series, but while Fracture was technically picked in the Cloud9 vs. Paper Rex series as map three, that series ended in only two maps via a decisive C9 win.
