Cache has long been a staple map within Counter-Strike: Global Offensive, after its introduction during Operation Bravo. When its removal from the active map pool was met with a sour taste earlier this year, FMPONE and co. worked tirelessly to make some favorable alterations to the map’s design.

Fast-forward to September 29 and a remastered version of the Chernobyl–themed map debuted at the Barclays Center, during a professional show-match. Both Sal 'Volcano' Garozzo and FMPONE talked through the creation of the new Cache at the recent ESL One event.
