Why is split being removed from unrated and comp?

why is split getting removed from unrated and comp plus willl split be there in vct?

8 maps is an awkward number for pro teams and may be too overwhelming for normal players too, I guess they removed split because it's one of the oldest maps and also because it's sh*t

I cant explain it perfectly but i'm sure somebody else can. Help the brudda out someone

Because its a map that favors heavily defenders. Majority of the overtimes that go 15-15 and above happen in split. Its arguably the most unfun map to play esp if you are on the attacking side

Nvrmind the user @KssS explained it why they want to keep it at 7 maps:

Yes because 7 maps is the sweet spot. When teams are doing map veto for a best of 3 series it usually goes like this:
Team A:Ban
Team B:Ban
A:pick
B:pick
A:ban
B:ban
Last map is the decider

As for why the chose split to remove, the riot devs said this on stream:

"After working with our esports team, surveying players, and talking to professional organizations we’ve decided to keep a 7 map pool and will be rotating Split out for now"

Idk who they talked to tbh xD

Ty just enjoying

Permanent

isnt permanent, but there also isnt a set time when the map will come back

Honestly, common W by the boys at riot.

Comp I could understand but why unrated?

I assume rito want unrated to mirror ranked perfectly outside no overtime.

Permanent

Map rotation, after some time split will come back and other map get fucked
In VCT this will only apply when the new map is available in VCT
