Biologically,there’s no advantage
Thorin@Thorin
I'm so bored of people endlessly repeating "there is no biological component to competing in video games so there are no genetic advantages." It's the woke religious dogma of esports. Not only is it not even vaguely true, as experience and observation show, but it's based simply on people's feelings and what they wish was the case.

@SkinPlaceOff Whats the deal with Dota guys, why do CS players love it

Men have biological edges in FPS esports like Valorant: faster average reaction times (~20-30ms), better spatial awareness/mental rotation for aim & map control, plus higher competitiveness tied to physiology.
Sources:
- Reaction time: NCBI PMC3198384 (males faster)
- Spatial skills: Feng et al. 2007 (pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/17894600/) — men start ahead; action games narrow gap but elite dominance persists
- Player pool/interest: Multiple analyses (VLR.gg, esports studies) show male-heavy participation drives top ranks
Counter: MSU 2016 MMO study — no perf gap when controlling playtime. Real-world pro scenes remain ~99% male at highest levels.

“Biological Girls Only” in a VALORANT tournament… The whole reason I love competing in esports rather than actual sports is because there is no biological advantage/disadvantage to playing video games. So I don’t understand the reasoning behind excluding trans women in this.

Cache is back in CS2, and this is exactly how you make a Counter-Strike map. They completely remade the map from the ground up, absolutely nothing remains from the version from the workshop.
Gameplay on the new cache is very clean and smooth without too much physical or visual clutter. Many of the more complicated props have been replaced with simple boxes, such as the box on forklift in A site. There are a few clipping issues with props and walls, but I imagine these will get sorted out over time.
The visual fidelity is amazing without sacrificing performance. This will be a very easy map to learn and play, as there isn't very much complexity at all. Many of the features we all kinda hated are gone, such as the window at Z connector mid, new box, and the railing at highway.
If they remove a map for this, it should be a simple 4 square map, otherwise the map pool is going to get too filled with easy maps.
Remember when we got like... NO updates. Now I'm getting exhausted covering all of this week after week. THANK GOODNESS.

@Anco_CS2 Dust2 is liked by noobs because its a kids lego 3 lane map. Their tiny brains can enjoy sprinting out long or cat or b tuns and they think it’s the bestest thing ever. Remove this shitter friendly map for good
