Aurora Gaming reached out to FACEIT following the vote for the new map

Daria Ushakova
The Vertigo map in Counter-Strike 2.

Representatives of the esports organization Aurora Gaming posted a message on social media platform X addressed to FACEIT following the platform’s decision to add Vertigo to the Season 9 map pool.

Dear FACEIT Administration!

We asked CS players just one simple question: Vertigo or Cobblestone? The answer was quite clear. No one wants to play on Vertigo. The community wants Cobblestone back.

So... Give the players what they want.

— Aurora CS2.
