CS:GO March 29 Patch Notes \u2013 Valve add Vertigo to competitive map pool in surprise update The latest CS:GO update sees a major break from tradition, as a brand-new map has joined the competitive map pool for the first time. Vertigo\u2019s surprise addition to the CS:GO map pool The March 29 update sees Vertigo added to the competitive map pool, replacing Cache. This will be the first time in CS:GO\u2019s competitive history that Vertigo enters the competitive map pool. For most of CS:GO\u2019s history, the competitive map pool has consisted of seven maps from a rotating pool of eight in total, with the remaining map typically reworked and reinstated. Cache is one of the only maps in the pool that hasn\u2019t undergone a significant update during that time. This is the first time since these eight were first established as the \u201ccompetitive\u201d maps that a new map has joined that rotation. Based on the historical cycle, most fans would have expected the return of Cobblestone as the next addition. What does Vertigo look like in CS:GO? Vertigo has been in CS:GO since 2012 and even became somewhat of a specialist map for some casual players and individuals. The versatility of the map is what sets it apart from many of the other sprawling maps in CS:GO; this makes it play differently to almost anything else that you\u2019ll be used to. For an in-depth look at the map and its many quirks, check out TheWarOwl\u2019s video below: The update to the competitive map pool isn\u2019t the only change in the March 29 update.
