Quote And, unlike most Counter-Strike maps, mid-control is now an entirely _optional_ part of Terrorist strategy.
Interesting point. Of the maps that have a true mid in the rotation, (dust, inferno, mirage, cache) all require some kind of mid presence from the T's to take the site on a consistent basis.
With that in mind, giving the T side that luxury will require aggressive map control takes from the CT side. If the T's continually give mid to CT, that opens the door to quick rotations. Giving the T side options on the site take also inherently gives the CT's those options on the retake.
The map has come a far way from the grey box that I once downloaded the day of release, and I look forward to playing some more games on Faceit and hopefully in the next operation.
