The historic CS:GO<\/em> map de_cache has been reworked and redesigned by two of its creators, Shawn \u201cFMPONE\u201d Snelling and Salvatore \u201cVolcano\u201d Garozzo. After its upcoming debut, the map is expected to return to the Active Duty competitive map pool.<\/p>
Cache was introduced to CS:GO<\/em> in 2013 with the Operation Bravo<\/a> update. But the map was removed from the Active Duty map pool in March and replaced by Vertigo, pending the rework from FMPONE. <\/p>
The remastered version of Cache will be showcased for the first time at ESL One New York<\/a> on Sept. 29. But fans have seen sneak peeks from FMPONE after he teased Cache artwork<\/a> inspired by the Ukranian cafe Pripyat<\/a>. <\/p>
Although Vertigo is unpopular with many professional <\/a>CS:GO<\/a><\/em> players<\/a>, Valve tends to rotate older maps out of the pool before the new maps, pending updates from its creators. Inferno, for example, was replaced by Nuke in April 2016. Later, in October, Valve released the updated version of Inferno. Then, in February 2017, Inferno officially replaced Dust II in the Active Duty map pool, pending its rework. <\/p>
Update Oct. 1 12:53pm CT:<\/strong> One of the map designers Shawn \u201cFMPONE\u201d Snelling\u00a0has revealed that Cache will be released in October<\/a>. ESL has teased the release date to be Oct. 10<\/a>. <\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
