StarSeries Fall 2026 data reveals clear map pool trends and side imbalances across all matches played during the tournament. Mirage secured its spot as the most popular map of the event with a total of 9 matches played. Cache followed right behind as the second most popular battleground, featuring in 8 matches. Meanwhile, Ancient sat at the bottom of the tournament’s map pool popularity as the least played map with only 1 game.

Statistical breakdowns highlight significant side biases across the active map pool. Nuke demonstrated the highest counter-terrorist side advantage of the event, with defensive teams locking down 66.3% of the rounds. CT sides also secured solid control on Anubis at 63.8%, Ancient at 57.1%, and Mirage at 56.1%. In contrast, Dust2 stood alone as the sole map favoring the attacking side. Terrorists claimed 57.1% of the rounds on Dust2.

These trends contrast with the map pool distribution seen at other recent tier-one events. For instance, Dust2 held the position of clear leader at BLAST Open Porto 2026 with 14 games played, diverging from the map priorities established at StarSeries Fall 2026.
