Today’s update includes an adjustment to the Active Duty map pool as well as some weapon adjustments.
For starters, we’re making changes to the Active Duty map pool, which will determine which maps get played at the 2023 Paris Major.
Anubis is being added to Active Duty and Dust II is being removed. But both maps are still available in Casual, Deathmatch, and Competitive modes.
We’re also making some adjustments to weapons. The AWP has had its magazine size reduced to five bullets (so make them count!), and the M4A1-S now does less damage at long ranges.
Try the changes out and let us know what you think!
And thanks for the blog post title, Ryan (@Schaffurr)!
IEM Rio Major Champions
2022.11.15 -
Over the past two weeks Rio de Janeiro has been the center of Counter-Strike, where 24 of the best teams in the world fought to become IEM Rio Major champions. In the end, only one team was left standing as Outsiders bested Heroic on Mirage and Overpass to secure their first Major championship!
To celebrate our new champions, today we’re releasing the champions autograph capsule, featuring autographs from FL1T, fame, Jame, n0rb3r7, and Qikert in paper, glitter, holo, and gold.
A New Path to the Majors
Starting with the 2023 Paris Major, we’re going to change the way we invite teams to the RMRs.
Previously teams entered the RMRs by direct invitation, or through a series of open qualifiers. For Paris, some teams who aren’t directly invited will get to skip the open qualifiers–teams that consistently perform well in Valve and third-party events will be directly invited to a closed qualifier. There, they’ll compete against teams that enter from an open qualifier.
In the coming weeks we’ll reveal more detail about the new Regional Standings process.
Congratulations to Outsiders, and we’ll see you in Paris!
