CS:GO: October 2 update patch notes \u2013 New Cache, Mirage updates Valve Corporation: Counter-StrikeThe latest update to the Valve\u2019s marquee FPS title Counter-Strike, has seen a massive shakeup for the overall map pool. In Valve\u2019s October 2 update the Scrimmage Matchmaking playlist map pool was shifted slightly, with Cache added to the host of options in the more casual mode. Furthermore, Mirage has also finally been added to Scrimmage Matchmaking. The Moroccan-based map has been one of the most popular Bomb Defusal options in the game since 2013. The arrival of Cache and Mirage to the scrimmage pool hasn\u2019t affected both maps\u2019 availability in the title\u2019s competitive playlists yet either, Valve confirmed with the update. Therefore, you can expect to see the old variant of Cache in your competitive sessions ahead of the expected release of the newly redesigned Cache on October 10. The reworked Cache map was first teased at ESL One New York 2019 late last month, with the CSGO community given their first glimpse at the new design. Fans have been hotly anticipating the revamped model after the map was first pulled from competitive playlists in March 2019, and it seems the wait won\u2019t last much longer. Release Notes for today are up. Mirage and Cache are now available in Scrimmage Matchmaking (as well as Competitive). Breach has been removed from Scrimmage and Ruby has been rotated out of the game. This and more here: https:\/\/t.co\/qvVD37OKxw \u2014 CS:GO (@CSGO) October 3, 2019 The October 2 update also saw two maps shifted out of the scrimmage playlist, with both Breach and Ruby pulled from CS:GO to a certain extent. Breach has only been removed from Scrimmage Matchmaking, while Ruby has been \u201cremoved from official game servers\u201d entirely. Many community members have also speculated that Mirage\u2019s addition to the more casual playlist could herald its removal from the comp pool in the near future. \u201cI wonder if Mirage being added to Scrimmage indicates it may be the one removed from the competitive map pool to make room for Cache,\u201d Reddit user Gnud speculated. It remains to be seen whether Mirage will be the next map to depart from the competitive playlists, however this theory could certainly come to pass in the very near future. Now live throughout the competitive Counter-Strike landscape for one final week, the older version of Cache will likely be replaced by the latest redesign on October 10. You can watch an insightful clip from the map designers themselves here to learn all about what changed in the recent redesign.
