The Story of Inferno: Where Counter Strike's Greatest Scores Are Settled

  • It’s fair to say that Inferno is the most reputed and refined battleground in competitive Counter-Strike. It isn’t the franchise’s most iconic locale; that’s Dust II. But it is the most integral -- and, for better or for worse, indispensable. Why?
    Because it’s just, well . . . pure.
    Inferno is the definition of honest, high-intensity, hell-in-a-cell Counter-Strike. It’s chaotic, claustrophobic and painstakingly strategic. The fact that the sites are hard to take is only offset by the fact that they’re even harder to retake. Inferno is our fabled franchise’s great equalizer.
    It’s also been around forever.
    This is the Story of Inferno.

    Inspiration of Spain, based of a area in US, now with Italian flags, with all it changes it will always be the best in my opinion
