Valve has rolled out a major CS2 update, coinciding with the launch of Premier Season 3, and Anders Blume has plenty to say about it. In a new video, the legendary commentator dives into the return of Overpass to the Active Duty pool, replacing Anubis after nearly 1,000 days of competitive play. Blume praises Overpass for its layered map design, vertical control points, and deeper strategic complexity that he believes Anubis lacked. He highlights how Overpass fosters more creative rotations and demands tighter coordination, making it a superior map for high-level play.
While acknowledging Anubis’ stylistic appeal and its impact on the meta, Anders suggests its layout limited tactical evolution over time. He emphasizes how Overpass has historically been a proving ground for intelligent in-game leadership and map control finesse. With Overpass now back in official play, Blume anticipates a significant shift in how pro teams approach CT-side dominance and map pressure. Overall, he welcomes the change as a revitalizing step for competitive CS2.
