MiBR CS:GO pro Fer slams new competitive map Vertigo Dreamhack\/ValveCounter-Strike: Global Offensive map Vertigo for being stupid to play and ugly to watch. Valve made a major change to the CS:GO active duty map pool with the March 29 update, removing Cache in favor of Vertigo, a map that had never seen the light of competitive play before. Professional players have routinely criticized the map since its introduction, despite not many top-level matches being played out on the map. However, when it has appeared in tournament action, pros have been quick to criticize the map \u2013 with some even calling for its removal completely \u2013 even when they win. MIBR\u2019s Fer was left furious the map after taking on Team Liquid in the final of ECS Season 6\u2019s North American week four stage. Despite MIBR winning on Vertigo, 16-11, Fer was not a fan of what he had played and quickly spoke out against it. \u201cBtw [by the way] this vertigo map is worse than shit,\u201d he tweeted after the game. \u201cIt\u2019s so ugly to watch and even more stupid to play.\u201d Being such a high profile gamer, it didn\u2019t take long for other players to latch on to what Fer was thinking, with many agreeing with his criticisms. Btw this vertigo map is worse than shit. :woozy: It\u2019s so ugly to watch and even more stupid to play. :injured: \u2014 Fernando Alvarenga (@fer) May 17, 2019 Former Luminosity Gaming pro Gusatvo \u2018SHOOWTiME\u2019 Goncalves responded to Fer by stating that Vertigo has a \u2018deathmatch\u2019 on the A bombsite, hinting at the fact that it doesn\u2019t play like any other map in the pool. Fer seemingly agreed with that statement, adding that any attack onto that bombsite ends up being a 5v5 showdown between all 10 players in the server. Basicamente um encontro de 10 nego no bomb A com umas caixas e uma rampa e todas as bombas do jogo. \u2014 Fernando Alvarenga (@fer) May 17, 2019 French pro Dan \u2018ApEx\u2019 Madesclaire, who dons the colors of Team Vitality, joked about the repetitiveness of the map in his reply \u2013 as teams solely target the A site, ultimately playing the same game over and over. Retake A this round next round ? Retake A hmmmm next ? Retake A maybe ? \u2014 Dan Madesclaire (@Vitality_apEX) May 17, 2019 Other pros also chimed in with new criticism of the map. OpTic Gaming\u2019s in-game leader Mathias \u2018MSL\u2019 Lauridsen offered some thoughts about pros \u2018speaking up\u2019 against recent changes, before turning his attention to the map pool. Focusing solely on Vertigo, he posted: \u201cAlso vertigo is just not a map that should be played competitive. It\u2019s about planting the bomb and 15 rounds of afterplants. It goes so much against what CS:GO require of teams and players,\u201d before tagging the CS:GO Dev Twitter account. Also vertigo is just not a map that should be played competetive. Its about planting the bomb and do 15 rounds of afterplants, it goes so much against what csgo require of teams and players. @csgo_dev 2\/2 \u2014 Mathias Lauridsen (@MSLcsgo) May 17, 2019 It remains to be seen if Valve will shake up the map pool any time soon following the numerous calls from pros for a change, especially with the StarLadder Major on the horizon. Other tournament organizers like ESL and FACEIT have only just cycled the map into their own event map pools, even though actually seeing it in competitive play is \u2013 of now \u2013 a rare occurrence. Valve has been quick to respond to player feedback with CS:GO in recent weeks, pumping out regular updates taken. They do take on pro player thoughts at their Major events so it may be a case of holding out until Berlin before a change is made.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
