Counter-Strike 2 has a mild Counter-Terrorist lean across the maps in a 23,757-round sample from professional matches. An analysis shared in the Counter-Strike subreddit reviewed rounds from matches between ranked teams over the previous 12 months.

Nuke came out as the most CT-sided map, with CTs winning 57% of the recorded rounds. Overpass followed at 56%, while Mirage reached 54%. The remaining maps stayed close to an even split, with Anubis the only one below 50% for CT round wins.

The full map breakdown also tracks how often the match favorite won and how frequently games went to overtime. Those figures are available through the CS2Nuts map statistics page.

How the seven maps compare

Map	CT round share	Reading	Played	Favorite wins	Overtime
Nuke	57% CT	CT-sided	852	59.3%	12.0%
Overpass	56% CT	CT-sided	528	62.5%	13.3%
Mirage	54% CT	CT-sided	970	58.4%	12.4%
Inferno	53% CT	Balanced	734	56.9%	13.6%
Ancient	52% CT	Balanced	926	57.4%	12.4%
Dust2	51% CT	Balanced	1068	60.0%	11.8%
Anubis	49% CT	Balanced	273	61.2%	12.6%

Nuke gives CTs the clearest advantage

Nuke’s 57% CT share was the highest in the sample, but the overall gap remained fairly narrow. Overpass sat one point behind it, and Mirage was the last map to receive a CT-sided label at 54%. Inferno, Ancient, and Dust2 were all within three points of an even split.

Anubis went the other way at 49% CT, giving Terrorists a slim round-share edge. Its 273 recorded games also made it the least-played map in the comparison, so the result comes from a smaller sample than the figures for Mirage or Dust2.

Overpass produced the best results for favorites

Overpass led the favorite-win column at 62.5%, ahead of Anubis at 61.2% and Dust2 at 60.0%. Nuke’s favorite won 59.3% of the time, followed by Mirage at 58.4%, Ancient at 57.4%, and Inferno at 56.9%.

Inferno had the highest overtime rate at 13.6%, with Overpass close behind at 13.3%. Anubis reached 12.6%, Mirage and Ancient each recorded 12.4%, and Nuke finished at 12.0%. Dust2 had the lowest overtime figure at 11.8%.

The results point to a generally even professional map pool rather than one where either side dominates across the board. They describe the rounds in this sample, not a guarantee that every future match will follow the same pattern.

Counter-Strike 2 is a free-to-play multiplayer tactical first-person shooter developed and published by Valve. Released in September 2023, it is the fifth main entry in the Counter-Strike series and serves as a direct replacement for Counter-Strike: Global Offensive on Steam. Two teams, Terrorists and Counter-Terrorists, compete in objective-based rounds across modes such as bomb defusal and hostage rescue. Built on the Source 2 engine, the game introduced volumetric smoke physics, revised weapon handling, and a new sub-tick server architecture. It inherited all cosmetic items from its predecessor and features both a map-specific Competitive mode and a numerically ranked Premier mode.
