Scrimmage Maps And Vertigo Update: 7/31/2019 CS:GO Release Notes

The most recent CS:GO update, 7/31/2019, consisted of two big updates: scrimmage maps and a Vertigo update. Although there were several smaller updates, we will only discuss those two.

Scrimmage Maps

First of all, the CS:GO devs added three scrimmage maps: Ruby, Breach, and Seaside, to Valve’s official competitive unranked matchmaking list.

This means several things:

- There are no ranking restrictions for players in your party (your party can be joined by a player of any rank)

- The result of the match won’t affect your Skill Group (you don’t rank up in unranked MM, so the number of cheaters should decrease significantly)

- A win in the match won’t add a point to your Competitive Wins counter (obv. :) )

Seems cool, doesn’t it? Personally, I’m looking forward to playing on Seaside. I’ve heard there’s an awesome boost on this map :)

The second part of the update is much bigger.

Vertigo Update

After nerfing the AUG, the CS:GO devs returned to improving Vertigo. And, as always, there are two sides to the story.

The changes are far more than cosmetic. The devs made the approach to the B site narrower, removed the elevator shaft, added a ladder to mid, and more. Here’s the whole list of modifications:

– New approach to B site

– Removed “rafters” around B site entrance

– Offset HVAC units on B site, numbered them

– Added a way to throw utility into B site without being exposed

– Removed one-way drop-down elevator shaft

– Added ladder-room near elevator shaft, leads up to mid chokepoint, allows utility towards A

– Moved bridge over elevator shaft

– Moved T spawns further back

– Widened utility hole in T corridor to mid

– Made jump up to scaffolding at back of A easier

– Widened door at back of A

– Various minor bug fixes

On one hand, these changes are awesome, as they’re directed to balancing the map.
