Valve might make Counter-Strike 2 matches shorter
The official Counter-Strike 2 patch notes outline that private and competitive matchmaking has temporarily been disabled. Two Counter-Strike 2 maps, Anubis and Ancient, have been removed, while fan-favorite Italy has been added to the current rotation. There are new character models for the hostages, and Counter-Strike 2 smokes have been adjusted to provide different cloud shapes when deployed.
Digging deeper, however, it seems that Valve may be planning a drastic overhaul to Counter-Strike 2 competitive matches. Currently, competitive games last 30 rounds, meaning the first team to reach 16 victories wins the game overall. But in files pertaining to the new update, under competitive games, the max number of rounds is listed as 24. This would mean shorter competitive matches where the first team to 13, not 16, would emerge victorious.
The files, unearthed and shared by Valve and CSGO content creator ‘Aquaismissing,’ also hint at the removal of the shorter version of competitive matchmaking, which offers 16 rounds, with the first team to nine wins declared the winner.
Competitive matchmaking in Counter-Strike follows similar rules and structures to professional CSGO tournaments, allowing players to experience or practice in esports conditions. Potentially, these changes will be established once competitive and private matchmaking are re-enabled in Counter-Strike 2.
As we wait for CS2’s arrival, get the full Counter-Strike 2 system requirements that we expect to be announced by Valve. You might also want to try some of the other best free Steam games, if you want a break from the CSGO battlefield.
