The most notable thing about the Counter-Strike rules is probably the map de_cbble which has been left out for quite a few tournaments, but has now made its way back into the major leagues.
- I think the map itself is pretty unbalanced and boring to watch games on. If you start out good as CT which is pretty easy, you have the momentum and the opportunity to close the match down there already. For lower ranked teams, I would say this is an advantage for them if they win the coinflip/kniferound and choose CT, says fisker from SK Gaming.
