The year-end chart below compares Counter-Terrorist and Terrorist win rates in the ESEA matches covered by the original report. Dust II was the only displayed map with a higher T-side rate.
Overpass and Train showed a particularly strong CT advantage in that sample. Anubis was absent after leaving the relevant active pool, which makes a before-and-after comparison less straightforward.
I felt that Train’s routes and defensive positions made attacking difficult, while Overpass’s starting positions helped defenders. Those are tactical impressions, not a complete explanation of the chart.
Team strength, match level, overtime, patch version, and map selection all affect results. The chart raises useful balance questions but does not prove a map change caused every difference. Later pools and geometry may look different.
