In seasons of Apex Legends where there are two maps in rotation, the Ranked Split lines up with the rotation choices. That said, in a season with three maps in rotation, only two will be selected from the lot to be put into the Ranked Leagues for said season. That is exactly what is going on for Season 12: Defiance, so let’s take a look.
Of the three maps Season 12: Defiance has in its base rotation, the one not seeing any action in Ranked is the newest map, Storm Point. While it will be playable in Trios and Duos, the Ranked Split is going elsewhere.

The split is usually at the halfway point of the season, though sometimes will be extended due to glitches or other unforeseeable reasons. Remember that during each half of the split, only the featured map will be in play for Ranked Leagues.
