Valve's April 28, 2026, update added the fully reworked Cache to CS2's competitive, casual, deathmatch, and retakes modes, fueling trader consensus for an imminent Active Duty map pool rotation to maintain the standard seven-map pro pool used in Premier and majors. Following January's swap of Train for Anubis, this pattern of semi-annual changes—driven by pick/ban data, pro feedback, and player engagement—positions June 30 as a key deadline, potentially mid-Premier Season 4. Pros like m0NESY advocate Cache replacing Inferno due to its high initial play rate despite dropping player counts, while Nuke and Ancient face scrutiny for CT-sided balance; iconic staples Mirage and Dust2 draw backlash against removal. No official announcement has emerged in the past two weeks, leaving outcomes tied to Valve's data review and tournament schedules.
