Wish you were here, Train

Valve went a bit wild this week. They updated the chickens.

Oh, and some nonsense about cutting Train and putting in Ancient, that we thought was just like Device to NiP - a bad joke.

Uh, except they both happened. Supposedly. Device will be playing Ancient for NiP.

Yeah, Valve legitimately cut Train to put in Ancient, and pros aren't... massively happy. Except Team Liquid players, who just lost their permaban.

We actually quite like Ancient - and we think it's awesome that Valve are shaking up the map pool. It's just... why Train, man. While yeah, it's the least played map of all of them, it's also in our totally unbiased and objective opinion, one of the coolest.

Dust 2 was like, right there. Get rid of it.

It also says a lot about what Valve think about Cache, which is to say, not a whole lot. They reworked it, put it back in the game... but Ancient gets in ahead of it?

We're excited to see what happens, but we're a little tentative. And we're going to miss Train. A whole lot.

Please bring back Train.
