CSGO map designer responds to s1mple after Cache graffiti \u2018removal\u2019 StarLadder \/ ValveCounter-Strike level designer Salvatore \u2018Volcano\u2019 Garozzo has responded to Oleksandr \u2018s1mple\u2019 Kostyliev following the Natus Vincere superstar\u2019s reaction to the removal of his famous commemorative graffiti on Cache. There are not many CSGO fans that wouldn\u2019t know about the graffiti splashed around certain maps, celebrating massive professional moments like Marcelo \u2018coldzera\u2019 David downing four Team Liquid players, or s1mple\u2019s back-to-back unscoped AWP kills against Fnatic. Following the reveal of the Cache rework from Volcano Shawn \u2018FMPONE\u2019 Snelling, which debuted ahead of ESL New York\u2019s showmatch on September 29, fans got a look at the planned changes. One thing caught their eye \u2013 it seemed s1mple\u2019s graffiti had been removed. The CSGO fanbase took to social media to demand the return of the piece of history. While players wanted it back, s1mple took it as an opportunity to show his winning mentality. \u201cGraffiti removed, time to get a new one,\u201d the Ukranian star said following the news, living up to his name with the simple statement. Luckily for the NaVi veteran, it seems like he may not have to go to great lengths to re-earn a slice of history. Volcano suggested Cache was still in a development phase, and details across the Chernobyl-based map would be added at a later date. \u201cWe\u2019re still putting in the finishing touches, don\u2019t worry!\u201d he said on Twitter, alongside an image of the famous two-headshot AWP artwork on the back of a jacket. We’re still putting in the finishing touches, don’t worry! @s1mpleO pic.twitter.com\/LRyUH8Cu4j \u2014 Volcano (@SalGarozzo) September 29, 2019 S1mple earned his bewinged image on the old Cache map after he dropped down from Heaven, landed a no-scope kill on Dennis \u2018dennis\u2019 Edman before doubling down on his scopeless skills with a second on Freddy \u2018KRIMZ\u2019 Johansson moments later. Cache was first removed from the game\u2019s active map pool to make way for Inferno earlier this year. It has now been confirmed it will be returning to CSGO\u2019s regular pool in October, after the finishing touches \u2013 including returning s1mple\u2019s memorabilia \u2013 are complete. Garazzo admitted the old Cache design was inherently more T-sided, and revealed the development duo had addressed that in the rework by trimming the Counter-Terrorist side\u2019s long rotation times slightly to hopefully boost competitiveness. It is also expected Cache will be returning to the professional map pool, though there\u2019s been no official confirmation if this would be at the expense of another competitive option.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
