ESL to introduce Vertigo in map pool post-IEM Sydney

4-4-2019 17:56

The tournament organizer behind IEM, ESL One, and ESL Pro League announced that they will be keeping the current map pool for another month and a half, with Vertigo to be introduced on May 13.

Cache will, therefore, be in the rotation at the first group stage of ESL Pro League, which is set to start on April 12, as well as IEM Sydney, scheduled for April 30 - May 5.

With the end of the ESL Pro League season being on May 23 and Vertigo coming in on May 13, it seems that the second group stage of ESL Pro League—where second and third-placed teams from the first stage will be battling for a spot at the Finals—, will be the first ESL tournament to use the new map.

IEM Sydney will be played out using the old map pool

Meanwhile, DreamHack has announced that their Open stop in Rio on April 19-21 will mark the start of Vertigo being in the map pool, while BLAST Pro Series will add it starting from the tournament in Madrid, scheduled for May 10-11.

Vertigo had its competitive debut online in the LOOT.BET Season 2, with Nordavind beating AGO on it convincingly, and other online leagues already adding it to their map pool as well.

Hell yeah [*] Cache [*]

good, i want to see some more pros crying and bitching about this

+1. This map has so much depth tbh. Fuck cache

2019-04-04 22:24

Only the NA scene is crying. Cache is hardly played at all in EU

2019-04-05 07:35

Astralis to be one step closer to another grand slam win

It says in the tweet they talked with the Official Organization the players made, so this is a mutual decision between ESL and the teams. Nice.

2019-04-04 21:25

No team probably knows the map well enough.

2019-04-04 18:42

Please polish the map and remove lots of unnecessery crap and good to go

2019-04-04 19:05

Good point. Doesn't feel like CS if there is so much shit and shitty angles to check 100x when you turn a corner. On the other hand the map has so much potential for great strats, fakes, executes. It's awesome to watch tbh
