The following
maps will be the maps used for all three competitions
used in the first season of the ACSL. All the maps have
been chosen for their popularity, tactical value, and
their prior use as competition maps from leagues around
the world.
Some of these maps may not have been used in Asian
competition before and will require teams to be at their
best to prepare and play on them. The ACSL will not
simply copy other leagues, but will be at the forefront,
as a league that other leagues copy.
We have provided links to the maps - these maps must
be installed or be the ones to replace your current
versions of the maps which you can download. |
Possibly
the second most popular official Valve competition map.
A map that requires tactical and positional awareness
and the ability to provide cover and split second decision
making, as well as vital communication.
The
mother of all competition maps that every other map tries
to be, in terms of the tactics, skills, and teamwork required
to dominate on this map.
A
map that is more popular in Asia for competition play
than it is in other leagues. Nuke offers a supreme tactical
challenge for CTs and Ts alike. 4 entry points to Bombsite
A, 7 entry points to Bombsite B, and 3 major
choke points, making this a tactical dream, or nightmare,
depending on how they look at it. 
Another
classic that is perhaps underused because players complain
about the lag factor or that earlier versions were better.
However, inferno is still a great map and will feature in
the ACSL. 
A
map that has been included in various league map rotations
for nearly a year. Some love it, some hate it, but it
still requires the best from either side to win.
Rapidly
becoming competition player's favourite map. Balanced
between ranged and close combat fighting. A mix of tactical
possibilities and extreme skills are required to do well
against a well organised team. ACSL will be the first
Asian league to feature this map.
The
only CPL map that ACSL has decided to use in season 1.
Another balanced map that allows for some good team play
and has maximum tactical value.
A
map that tests teamwork and tactical awareness to the
maximum. Very balanced play with the use of sound featuring
more heavily than in other maps. Surfaces include sand,
rock, mud and water ... therefore sound detection
becomes a valuable early warning system.
