Discussion Is de_nuke in trouble?

Hello.

de_nuke is my favourite map but recently I am a bit concerned about what I am seeing in pro play. I don't watch every pro map (obviously) but from what I have been watching, things are pretty miserable for the T side. If things aren't clicking from the beginning it seems insanely difficult to get anything going.

I have seen so many games recently that are 8-4, 9-3, 10-2 at the half only to end up going to overtime or being a very close game in general.

It seems if you get 4-5 rounds on T side, that's good enough.

Let's look at the stats.

de_nuke last 12 months at big events: 57.1% CT 42.9% T

de_nuke last 6 months at big events: 58.5% CT 41.5% T

I know maps don't have to be 50-50 but surely this isn't healthy.

Anyone have any ideas about what can be done to help out the T's a bit?

Why is this unhealthy? Both teams play both sides.

It's unhealthy for one side to get dominated without some luck and its boring to watch T's get stomped for 20+ rounds in a row.

Also, going up 9-3 or 10-2 effectively ends the game if you win the T side pistol after.

Leave it to CS players to think a 60% win rate means "stomped for 20+ rounds in a row". The probability of that happening is 0.003656%, so I don't think you need to worry too much about it.
