Perfect World makes the switch to Cache

Through an announcement within their platform, Chinese tournament organizer Perfect World has just confirmed their compliance with Valve's latest map pool change. All Perfect World Counter-Strike 2 tournaments hosted henceforth will see de_cache in place of de_overpass in the competitive map pool.

Perfect World has been quiet in the Tier-1 Counter-Strike space for a while now and have no notable events on HLTV's calendar for the rest of the year. The Chinese tournament organizer will roll out the change at Perfect World National League Spring 2026 which will run for two whole weeks starting on 12th July 2026. The LAN component of the tournament will take place in Shanghai, China.

Over the week, other prominent tournament organizers in the competitive Counter-Strike space also announced the map pool change.
