It’s Broken, It’s Bullsh*t, But It’s Home: The Story of Dust 2

What's your favourite pro play that's happened on Dust II?

i know this map better than i know my own house

Dust 2, the map that can make you feel unstoppable when you're having a good day, or make you feel like absolute dogshit when you're having a bad day. It feels like there's no inbetween.

the only map where you can say "rush B smoke mid" as a ct

“I hate Dust 2, it’s only run and gun” Tries to run and gun: gets demolished

“If it supports custom maps, there is a dust 2” - man who still has no closer

I haven't played csgo in years, but I genuinely see the layout of the map in my head when I'm really sick in bed with a bad fever - I don't think anyone will ever forget the layout of this map lmao

People: I hate dust 2 Me: That's a weird way to say that your aim is trash

As the old WarOwl saying goes "If a game supports custom maps, there is a dust2."

This map is so well known that people who have never played CS still knows the layout of Dust 2.

I dont think I have ever cried watching any eSports related (maybe only a tear when C9 won the major), but this video hit close to home for me. Across 3 accounts, I have almost 9,000 hours into CSGO, and a very large chunk of which was spent DMing on Dust 2. For all four years of high school, I would come home and not even play any MM or ESEA, I would just DM for hours upon hours on Dust 2. Now 5 years after graduating high school, I still do the same, at least 2-3 times a week if I can. I havent played any MM or ESEA in almost 2 years, but i still get on Dust 2 because I guess it feels like home. So much has happened after high school, I left for the Navy, got my associates, moved a lot, found a great girl who I think is the one (wish me luck!), but i still get on Dust 2. Besides the visual update, Dust 2 hasnt changed, at all. And I guess it makes me feel like im still a freshman in HS. It grounds me, that even though everything in my life has changed, Dust 2 and CSGO will be there. It sounds so dumb, but its comforting. No other game/map makes me feel the nostalgia the way D2 does. Its crazy what a stupid video game can do. Also Dust 2 is my least favorite competitive map LOL. Mirage FTW

"Dust 2 is every map. And every map, is Dust 2." - Warowl

Dust 2 is like our childhood home that we always want to leave because of home problems but when we grow old we remember how beautiful and peaceful those days in that home were

I've never played counterstrike and yet somehow theScore is able to make me watch an entire 18 minute long video about one CSGO map

Feels almost nostalgic seeing the AWPer middle section open again. I can definitely see why they patched that.

“It doesn’t need to be changed” Boy did it get changed.

Dave: I'll call it Dust 3 Valve: Let me introduce myself...

Wait, I'm in this video LMAO didn't expect that RL moment

I played this map since I was like 7 or 8 years old. I'm 20 now. That's more than half of my life playing Dust 2. It's more than just a map. It's home.
