CS2 matches are quick, but CS:GO had its own speedy era a long time ago too

CS2 matches in casual and professional environments are being played a lot faster after Valve reduced the amount of rounds from 30 to 24 in regulation towards the end of the beta.

Professional players have been very vocal about their distaste for this new format, which is called MR12. The format was previously used in Counter-Strike: 1.6, and is most notably used in VALORANT nowadays. Instead of pushing for MR12, however, Valve could have looked at the beginning of CS:GO if it wanted to make CS2 matches shorter and keep the MR15 format with just some minor tweaks.
