Are you one of the lucky ones?
Valve dropped a small but significant update to CS:GO and CS2 today. Amidst a few map changes, there’s also a new wave of CS2 beta invites going out.
After the BLAST Paris Major, the entire Counter-Strike fanbase is eagerly waiting for news and probably a few CS2 invites. When Valve announced Counter-Strike 2, they released a few beta invites, although it did leave quite a few content creators and influencers disappointed. Today, Valve has released a few more CS2 beta invites.
What’s new in the CS2 Update?
Most of the updates are bug fixes and ensuring the most popular maps’ competitive integrity. A few days ago, a CS2 update was released that allowed players to shoot through the Mirage mid Ticket booth. This is particularly drastic when it comes to sound-based positional playing on Mirage which can completely alter the course of the game.
You can check out this particular feature in this video where G2 player, mONESY expresses his surprise.
The latest update seems to have fixed this bug along with other minor bugs on Mirage.
