McSkillet made a video showcasing the likely maps for the next operation. It's based off the fact that several map creators were contacted by Valve and told to patch certain maps by the 9th. Those maps are:

Cruise
Santorini (Big surprise)
Empire
Coast
Tulip
Royal

Someone put them all in a collection if you want to check them out for yourself.

Cruise looks dope as gently caress. It might be the new Agency. Empire reminds me of de_facade, which I liked a lot, although maybe not as close quarters. Tulip looks like a COD map, but I could see it being fun. Coast... eh, I'm not so sure about this one, but we'll see. Royal looks like you could stick it in DoD and it wouldn't look out of place, which could be a good thing.
And Santorini, Turk? :smuggo:

Bring back de_zoo, TIA
An operation that brings back de_seaside, cs_agency, de_chinatown, de_blackgold, cs_workout, and de_zoo as the maps.

That would actually kick so much rear end. Please do that after Operation VACation, Valve.

I'm kind of wondering how well Luminosity would be doing had they picked up HEN1 instead of TACO. They would have had a very strong secondary AWPer but I don't know how well he does with rifles.

Even if the Brazilians weren't destroying NA STILL shouldn't qualify for ANYTHING. All "pro" NA teams are loving trash compared to the rest of the world.
The main reason I've heard is that the talent is spread way too thin for any one team right now to be effective. An NA superteam of, say, shroud, skadoodle, roca, Hiko, and NAF with seang@res coaching could make waves internationally, but egos and contracts get in the way. It's a drat shame.

I'm glad TS is not in Group A for Katowice. They only have to deal with a relatively weak NV, an inconsistent Astralis, a very weak VP, a very inconsistent FaZe, and E-Frag as opposed to three on-fire teams in the form of Fnatic, Na'Vi, and Luminosity as well as NiP, mousesports, and Mongolz.

It's not even speculation anymore. Koosta mentioned trying out for Liquid, and Ryu (NME's coach IIRC) Tweeted that koosta would be playing for a different team once his contract is up. All we need is the official word from Liquid.

NME qualified with the America's Champion qualifier. However, because of this rule, koosta will have to play with NME for the qualifier while Liquid will probably have to use adreN again. Same goes for the major from what I can tell. It's a very badly-worded Tweet.

So a Valve dev and CS co-creator has been dropping hints about Newke on Reddit the past few days. So far, they're moving it from Germany to the U.S. Rust Belt, making it less CT-sided, the CTs will be Seal Team 6 and Ts will be Phoenix, and this image was taken outside of Mini.

The MLG Columbus qualifier groups have been released. It's an interesting bracket. Here's what I predict:

Group A: G2, probably Flipsid3 as well but Tempo Storm has amazing momentum, so there could be a possible upset.

Group B: Mousesports, Liquid

Group C: Vexed, and then a 50/50 chance of either CLG or SK.

Group D: Dignitas, probably Cloud9 too unless Gambit steps up.

yeah but they beat the piss out of renegades to get into the qualifier, and I'd put renegades in roughly the same class as vexed/SK. That group is pretty wide open to upsets.
Renegades are definitely not the level of Vexed and maybe slightly below SK. Mind you, Vexed and SK have experience playing against and for multiple EU teams. Mongolz have not. It's really just a matter of inexperience that will hurt them.

I will say, though, going from 14 on the market to 4 in two weeks is something noteworthy. Maybe this will still be on the rise.
