Leaks suggest CS2’s ranked mode may be taking inspiration from VALORANT
The Aug. 15 update to the Counter-Strike 2 limited test has brought more than just a map rework and an update to smokes, with backend leaks revealing major changes to what ranked CS2 might look like when the sequel is fully launched—and VALORANT fans will be all-too-familiar with the new format.
Reputable CS2 leaker Aquarius revealed the changes to the backend shortly after Valve’s update went live, which oddly saw Competitive and private matchmaking switched off for the first time since the CS2 limited test began. The common “mp_maxrounds” value, which historically has always been set to 30 for Competitive, appears to have been updated to 24—colloquially referred to as “MR12.”
