On January 30th, Valve released an update for Counter-Strike: Global Offensive. With it, the players had more options for scattering points B on Dust2 and A on Train, and now you can jump into the window on Mirage yourself. The community reacted with humor to the changes, but someone found the patch inappropriately radical. Opinions – in the selection Cybersport.ru.
Special forces will now have a hard time on Dust2 B cards:
“God help me at point B.”
“This is a change in skybox … Pray for your friends who are holding B.”
“How dare they change Dust2?”
“I was hoping Dust2 would get closer to the classic version. I think this will bring balance and retake B will no longer be an impossible task. In addition, several players can expect rekeys through the tunnel. ”
“I don’t know yet why update B. is so good. Let’s see what happens. It’s always easy to say “Everything’s bad” until you try it yourself. Maybe this will help the defense. ”
“Good luck to everyone who holds B on Dust2. You’ll have to deal with crazy exits, smokeys at each exit, hammer and flash drives that will blind you for 20 seconds. ”
HLTV.org journalist criticized Valve for updating Dust2. He believes that this changes the balance too much.
“Changing Dust2 is complete rubbish. No aggression or retake of the tunnel on B will help the defense on the map, where there are the longest hauls. The tunnel cannot become the same banana, because there are other timings on Dust2 and you need to cover a lot.
Even if the tunnel was like a banana: protection can fight for a banana, because rush A on Inferno is ineffective, and at the beginning of the round you can send 3-4 players to B. On Dust2 this will be very risky, because you always need to be careful about shorts or longa. Now will Dust2 become one big gamble? ”

Another major update change is the apartment on Mirage, where they changed the balcony.
“Hello to everyone who holds B on Mirage. Good luck jumping for the apartment check. ”
Insider DonHaci clearly showed what advantages the attack received from the patch.

“The attack can see the head of the special forces from the very end of the apartment, and the special forces see the heads of the terrorists only if they come closer to the window.”
Valve also added a bench in the mid, with which you can now jump into the window yourself. She immediately became a meme.
Denis seized costin I didn’t like the shop right away.
“The first training on Mirage after the update :)))))))) Thank you, Volvo, you just killed Mirage with this bench.”
