The DreamHack organization has announced the winter edition's official map pool, in which de_mirage has been added.
With DreamHack Winter 2010 kicking off in one week, the organizers are in full swing, inviting teams and preparing for the world's largest LAN. Today's latest update is the tournament's map pool.
Perhaps a fresh breeze from the usual map pools, with de_mirage being added for the on-site qualifier and the group stage. The map is pretty much a remake of de_cpl_strike, with Bombsite B having been put under alteration.
"We have evaluated the current situation in CS 1.6 and in order to re-energize professional Counter-strike and also give the tournament a extra dimension the new map is needed", a DreamHack official is quoted.
DreamHack Winter 2010 official map pool:
de_dust2
de_train
de_nuke
de_inferno
de_tuscan
de_mirage
The maps creator has published a walk-through on his YouTube channel, view the video below to see how it's like.
Feel like testing out the map for yourself? Head over to HLTV.org staff member Stefan "satanioN" Mørk's website to download it.

and about that attention thing, i think ur rather a whore then me buddy, u comming in seconde with the "i would prefere piranessi" bullcrap, i just replyed to u that i think the remake of strike is fine, but i guess ur tiny brain doesnt get that far.
who wants to play piranesi anyway...?
and about my sucky english i bet i speak more languages than ur foreign ass...
mister rofl this lmao that
This is just pointless talking to a guy who can only use insults as arguments do you think that will hurt me or something? haha.
Your comment was "loved this loved strike" what relation does it have with my comment? nice selfownage.
And about the sheep line you got it all wrong, you are supposed to think yes think something you haven't done in your whole life.
And btw I'm done here I paid more attention to you than your parents in a whole year.
(no offense to other russians)
i blame ur grandparrents, they were probably 2 busy suckings Stalins ass they gave ur parents no education nor attention, an u know that becomes a visious circle...
2 generations later you get like retards who are unable to think very far...
for the record, the relationship my comment had with urs is that i rather like this map than piranesi, but guess ur 2 retarded to catch the red line here
keep on talking nonsense...
mister selfownage...

just like:de_tuscan :( a sucky map
Post edited 2010-11-17 11:40:36
i think tuscan is best map :P
yes and with this until then we have to get used to easy :p
we chinese play tuscan rarely
:((((
with time will come here the same thing .!
but we want to see back de_aztec & de_cbble or cs_office & cs_assault :PPPPPP
who cares seriously, they could have added aim_ak_colt since anyway everyone's gonna veto it
the only problem is that now the second team to veto will be forced to use it for de_mirage and therefore won't be able to really veto their worst map
you have a reply in #222 btw ;)
Post edited 2010-11-17 17:10:52
isn't it a bit late for that? No team is prepared to play on it and btw that map sucks there are much better old maps
But how do you know what is best unless you try? So good move....lets see how it goes.
IGLs will have a major role to play on this map..lets see what crazy tactics they make in one week time..sounds exciting to me :P
More news maps plz !
New map = new challenge = new strategy etc ...

im wondering
everybody has played cpl_strike m8
Post edited 2010-11-17 11:55:18
Random-Strike needs to change it up!
Starcraft 2 is just miles ahead in everything.
There are 2 ways to get from T "base" to A or B site. In 1 of those ways (water) all five CTs have a chance to shoot you down.
So unless you have a great rush spawn and perform those rushes perfectly you are doomed.
aztec is good for 2v2 3v3 but not more...
de_aztec, de_piranesi , de_prodigy , de_survivor :D
why dont play this maps?! ;D
PD:sorry bad english :), google translator ftw XDDD
Post edited 2010-11-17 12:24:27
Whoever is defending has an advantage right? That's why CTs are able to defend 2 bomb sites.
"as" maps have 1 escape point there is no way you would get the VIP through 5 defending Ts. If you make maps with 2 escape points then the imbalance is on the other side since the player defending the "other" escape point won't be able to rotate in time. It's not like when the bomb is planted and they have time to defuse.
"cs" maps have 1 "target" and you have 5 players defending it, but not only do you have to secure the "target" you must run back to your spawn with hostages if a T is alive somewhere.
Post edited 2010-11-17 12:49:37
But a "cs" map with hostages placed like bombsites would work as long as you can reach CT base (or wherever you bring the hostages) at the same time from both "sites" so the Ts on the other "site" can intercept the CTs.
Post edited 2010-11-17 12:59:46
Don't get me wrong I'm just stating what would be required for "cs" maps to work.
I don't support the idea of actually using them.
"de" maps are the best, as T you transfer from attack to defense by planting, as CT you defend the site and prepare a retake after the plant. Best tactical test there is. ;)
Why they didn't add de_aztec and/or de_cbble? Would be very beautiful to see again those maps :D
However, i agree that we need some more maps. But whats essential is to keep em simple. However, i will be looking forward to see these maps beeing played.

true story broR
Post edited 2010-11-17 12:33:58
The thing in CS that stays constant no matter the map size is the range you can throw FLASHBANGs at and the range they are effective at (the further away you are from a flashbang the lesser its effect).
On cbble (and similar on aztec) your flashes, even if you do surprise your opponent, often fall too far from their position hence making them last a very short amount of time.
While on train you have a lot of angles once you get out and with a few good smokes and flashes you can take the map. That's why experianced teams with good strats and timing often have no problems in taking 6 or even up to 9 rounds on de_train. It's still often hard cos you have to check a lot of angles as well. But your chances get better once you manage to pass the chokepoints unhinged.
And I can safely say every pro and semipro team have played this map in a few tournaments before (cpl_strike) and the improvement on B-site is so good.
I hope DH make teams not able to veto it, this will make the tournament not only about skill, luck and tactics, but about improvisement and creativity!
+1 and <3 DreamHack for doing this, it's great for CS as an eSport!
EDIT: and by the way it's one of the most balanced maps ever made, you wont see scores like 12-3, 0-13 (train) :p

1) de_mirage what a HEll IT's just de_cpl_strike..
hey that guy just changed one bomb side "OKEI HERE IS MY NEW MAP!" -respect fffffuuuuuu de_cpl_strike one of the stupid maps ever its so DISBALANCED!!!!!!!! this Stefan "satanioN" Mørk has never played CS i am quite sure. Worst thing ever!!#!#@
2) de_engage! first impression LAUGHT!!#! Its seems like one of the Half-Life game parts with electronic monsters and army guys sitting in corners PLZ this map is very big, stupid, boring, ugly! It's map for Half-Life game with fast movements etc not for CS. omg plz never create maps like that don't make me mad of stupidity GRRRRRRRRRR >:{
Post edited 2010-11-17 13:51:32
1) The person that did the "remake" of this maps is the original creator.
2)SatanioN is not the creator ,but it's the creator of http://www.satanion.dk/cs/ which is a great CS site were you can find maps, configs, programs, movies, scripts etc and he is also a news writer for HLTV doing the monthly team recap's.
2)
DISBALANCED!!!!!!!! this Stefan "satanioN" Mørk has never played CS i am quite sure. Worst thing ever!!#!#@
Like i said before, the reason why satanatioN name was posted is because the maps are available for download in his website.
He didn't made the maps.
Feel like testing out the map for yourself? Head over to HLTV.org staff member Stefan "satanioN" Mørk's website to download it.

Like i said before, DreamHack will be the best Counter-Strike tournament this year, excellent teams and a "new" map.
Post edited 2010-11-17 14:03:21
I can see the tournament with most of the teams "90%" or something will VETO this one, or even more 100%? I don't know.. And I cannot really get, why would we want a "remake" of cpl strike when de_hell was a much better idea then this one.. But I still like the idea but still have some disagrement on this one...
I hope we will see at lesat ONE match on dreamhack with this one in it =) (hope it will be us, haha)
I remember when tuscan came out, noone was playing it. But you can see now that most of the teams are willing to play it. That map is getting more and more attention, which is really good! But I can't get why DreamHack want to add a map 8 days before a tournament start. Still I would rather add a map like de_hell, like I pointed out up there instead of this one. But but.. Let's see who will be willing to play it or not. :)
Post edited 2010-11-17 14:20:37
but i guess teams will not prepare to much for this map
strike is OKAY for pugs etc. but it needs re-working to be viable for standard wars
also the rest are turd
:*)
If these maps are played every tournament would be great !
but i like b site
But the fact is now there are 6 maps.
Before that was 5 maps so that was simple : veto map1, veto map2, pick map3, pick map4. map5 deciding map.
So what's it gonna be for the final bracket (bo3) about the deciding map ?
> veto map1, veto map2, pick map3, pick map4 then coin flip for map5? (de_mirage and de_any if teams decide to privilege the veto of their worst -played- map)
The answer may be the way to know if de_mirage is going to be veto everytime or not.
[EDIT] was replying to #167 sry
Post edited 2010-11-17 14:47:13
de_mirage is a offense to the original de_cpl_strike.
and next map is Its too complicated. = de_contra :S
I think De_hell, mirage, russka, lite, fire and forge should be taken back to the map cycles. The teams are getting WAY too confident in the tactics on certain maps. Of course somebody could remake de_cpl_fire, cos it had flaws, but it has good things also. just the tunnels leading to the ct spawn bombsite are a bit messy in my opinion.
EVEN IF I HAVENT EVEN PLAYED HELL AND RUSSKA... I still think new maps would make the matches more interesting. Getting bored of the old.
come on... it's way too late for such an announcement, it's gonna piss a lot of teams off.
plus I don't really see it as an interesting map :/
like atlaNtis just said, coin toss to decide the third map ? bo3 is way better than bo1, and to do a good bo3, 5 maps is needed, not more !
am getting some sort of error, if am trying to download this map from dreamheck.se :$ :$ :$
Post edited 2010-11-17 15:55:47
i see some comments, suddenly tuscan is popular map?
LOL maybe in sweden, rest of world, no
no flaming, but this is just stupid.
Post edited 2010-11-17 18:34:39
Like one guy said, de_tuscan wasn't popular map, but now it is one of most played maps.
About fact, that Dreamhack give this news about map 7 days before tournament is good and bad. Good thing is, that we will see if teams can do good tactics in just 7 days, imagination of IGL's will be showed. But maybe 1 week isn't enough, so teams will probably veto this map. Imo about adding this map instead of de_cbble, de_hell and other maps is this; de_cbble is ct map, easy to defend sites, and de_hell is worst map i've ever seen (sorry mapper).
Most of teams did already seen/played this map before at original name, so I think that we can be actully suprised, how much matches will be played on this map.
I only have 1 question...
How will they choose 3rd map?
Have fun, and I hope that everybody will be suprised about matches played on this map at Dreamhack
i read that this map will only be used for group stage and BYOC-turney
so if im right: some top teams HAVE REALLY to play this map?! oh man thats gonna be very funny. now low-teams have the chance to make some damage vs. world top teams.
quite interesting but i will not be wondering if DH organization says that if both teams agree the map will be changed..
we will see lets hope the best
de_mirage is horrible.
Wanna see an edited aztec though. Russka wouldn't have been too bad either
seriously why do they all do that ? If they really want to create a new map and make it popular they should have announced it at least 1 - 2 months ago
besides what's the point if it's ONLY for DH ?? ( same goes for arbalet's de_hell though ) they should contact arbalet gamegune esl etc and all agree on a new map that would be played in all events all leagues
And this is just a remake of CPL_Strike which already is a wellknown map.
But i agree that seven days is a short time for such a change.
only bad thing is that the Latinamerican representant won't be able to practice it :/
Way to kill a perfectly fine map.
i dont like map like this , inferno etc

nostalgia :D
de_mirage is okey.B site changes are nothing special,but good:) Loft is an very good place to defend bombsite.
GJ DH!
so probably some top teams have to play this map. but i think the organization will allow to change the map if both teams agree.
