The map will presumably re-enter the Active Duty lineup following some initial testing, however it remains to be seen which map Cache would replace in rotation.

The creators of the Cache re-make sat down with ESL to discuss the process and highlight just what has been tweaked in the time since it was removed from competitive play.

Among the minor tweaks in visuals, comes the removal of the famous s1mple graffiti from his no-scoped dropping double AWP play from ESL One Cologne 2016. 

Commenting on the matter, s1mple stated that it’s “time to get a new one” anyways.

Evil Geniuses had a rock-solid showing against the recent  2019 StarLadder Berlin Major Champions in Astralis, toppling the giants 3-1 in the Grand Finals at ESL One New York 2019. 

You can test the freshly re-designed map for yourself when it makes its way back into the CS:GO conversation on October 10.
