As one of the most iconic Counter-Strike maps in history, the new look Cache was revealed at ESL One New York, a $200,000 tournament that saw Evil Geniuses take down Astralis in the grand final 3-1. The creators of the map Shawn "FMPONE" Snelling and Salvatore "Volcano" Garozzo were at the event to reveal the new version of the map they created, and revealed that it will be added to the workshop on October 10. However, there is no word on when, or if, it will be added back into the official map pool.
While the current map will not be the final version, the developers said after listening to feedbacks, there would be more adjustments before the map goes live. Map creators Shawn “FMPONE” Snelling and Sal “Volcano” Garozzo listened to feedback from pro players at ESL One New York this weekend and they intend on implementing a lot more fixes to the map.
Most notably, color saturation of textures on the map will be reduced by about 10 to 20 percent since a large majority of pros adjust and stack their in-game digital vibrance in their NVIDIA and monitor settings. This is an easy fix to accomplish, according to FMPONE.
Here’s a full list of changes that pros recommended throughout the weekend. Players from teams like FaZe Clan, OpTic Gaming, and ENCE were among the names noted in FMPONE’s change list.
