Back in CSGO I used to love playing Cache.
Matter a fact, Cache was one of my favorite maps back then.
With the new reworked version in CS2 I don't have that feeling whatsoever.
Cache in CS2 feels… idk? it almost feels like a brand new map somehow.
It's kinda crazy to me how a rework of a map without major changes can still completely change my view on a map that i used to love.
I've played Cache numerous times in premier and a lot of teammates had the same feeling as me towards the reworked version just not feeling like Cache somehow.
When I saw the new FMPONE version of Cache the day he tweeted mid with the statues on the left I got really excited.
My excitement after seeing what valve did to the map basically went to 0 after noclipping around the map for a few minutes.
Another thing I've noticed as to why people are banning Cache, is because apparently CS2 brought in a lot of players who basically never played CSGO and they have no clue how to play the map so they just end up banning it.
So I think it's a mixture of both as to why Cache isn't being played much.
