Esports tournament organisers ESL and BLAST have announced changes to their Counter-Strike 2 map pools following Valve‘s decision to adjust the first-person shooter title’s Active Duty map pool.
As a result of the change made on January 9th, IEM Kraków 2026 and BLAST Bounty Season 1 2026 will feature Anubis in place of Train.
Anubis will make its return to Tier 1 competition during the BLAST Bounty closed qualifiers, taking place from January 13th to 18th. Considering the short time between the change and the start of the tournament, it will be interesting to see whether competing teams choose to pick the map.
