– Fixed names for several Operation Broken Fang patches to appear as different Steam Community Market commodities. – Fixed Sir Bloody Darryl's death sound. – Fixed a regression with soft shadows under agents. – Fixed demo playback for the compatibility version of Mirage. Counter-Strike: Global Offensive (CS:GO) expands upon the team-based action gameplay that it pioneered when it launched in 1999.
Valve has released an update to CS:GO that introduces major changes to maps including those in the competitive pool.
Train, Mirage, and Dust2 are some of the most played maps in the Active Duty map pool. They have all received updates that will change the way teams execute and defend sites.
Train received visibility improvements and bug fixes, but the most importantchanges are to the map's skybox. The skybox over the building between Ivy and A Site has been opened. This will allow the terrorist side to throw grenades over the building. This change will help T side execute A Site but can also be used by the defending team to prevent the terrorists from executing.

Dust2 received a similar update as the skybox from B halls towards site has been opened. This change will allow T side to throw grenades into the site to help form an execution without the risk of peeking through B hallway.
Mirage received updates to both bomb sites that will help the attacking team get onto site. On A site a new AWP wallbang was added to help clear scaffolding. This has typically been a popular spot for CT side players to hide. The T side entrance to mid was also widened which will give players greater visibility on to A site. One of the biggest updates is the bench that has been added to mid which will give players the ability to jump into window without needing a boost from a teammate. On B site the trim around balcony was lowered and the jump peak from the middle of B site towards cat was blocked.
Cache and Studio also received updates but are not currently in the competitive map rotation and will have no effect on professional play.
The changes introduced in the latest CS:GO patch are exciting and should provide more opportunities for players to execute various bomb sites.
It seems like Valve has finally redirected their attention towards Counter-Strike: Global Offensive once again with frequent updates. In the previous patches, Valve adjusted the recoil accuracy of the SG and also added a ping system. This ping system should have been added lot sooner, but it seems like the rising competition from peers like Valorant has reignited their attention towards the game.
Valve added a global mute button to counteract the issue of toxic players, and today's update has also addressed the same.

Cs Go Patch Notes
Valve has removed Bots from Ranked Counter-Strike: Global Offensive
The biggest change that today's update added was the complete removal of bots from ranked games. The bots were supposed to serve as a team mate whenever a player leaves amidst the progression of a ranked match. This was being overly abused by the community, who would take over the AI unit and use it as an extra life once they died.
Toxic players used this as an opportunity to kick newer players out of the ranked games, which would cause a bot to spawn. Further, players often fought over the control of the said bot, which only made the games insufferable.
