Just a week after Outsiders hoisted the IEM trophy at the Rio major, Valve has dropped a bombshell on CS:GO fans with a couple of huge changes to the game. Map switches in the active duty pool and even some gun modifications await CS:GO fans in the new update.
Another titan of Counter-Strike is leaving the active duty pool of maps. After watching maps like Cache and Cobblestone benched for the likes of Vertigo and Ancient, it was only a matter of time for Dust II. Starting today, Anubis will step into the limelight to replace one of the most iconic CS maps of all time. Many fans speculated about the departure of Dust II, especially after the map received less-than-stellar reviews for its update over a year ago. What’s interesting about the switch is that Valve teased the idea of Anubis entering competitive play earlier in the day. Valve also made it clear in their post that the upcoming 2023 Paris Major was in mind when making this change. Dust II will still be available in competitive modes, but won’t be in the map pool for any professional CS:GO tournaments.
