Dust 2 is considered one of the legendary competitive maps CS:GO. Players of the original game Counter-Strike enjoyed the first version of this location, named Dust. Then, the place was remastered and significantly improved. The map has received its popularity because of universal recognition due to its excellent balance, where both teams have no advantages, and only skill and experience are needed to win.

Even though the map is old, it was only affected by visual changes, not functional ones. While the map has always maintained a consistent style, each version has distinctive abilities. And, of course, the details got better over time.

• A Short - counter-terrorists spawn very near this area. It’s the shortest way for them to A Site. For terrorists, it’s a short way as well.

• Outside Tunnels - quite a big area, an entrance to B tunnels. Terrorists pass this place while moving to B Site.
