Train Removed from FACEIT Map Pool — Anubis Fully Replaces the Legendary Map in Competitive CS2

Train has been officially removed from the competitive map pool on FACEIT, marking the end of an era for one of the most iconic maps in Counter-Strike history.

Last week, Valve replaced Train with Anubis in the official tournament map pool for upcoming CS2 events. Despite this change, FACEIT initially kept Train as an eighth map, outside the main rotation, allowing players to still queue and play it in certain competitive formats.

Now FACEIT has fully synchronized its map pool with the official competitive ecosystem and completely removed Train from matchmaking. As a result, Anubis officially takes Train’s place not only on the professional stage, but also on the largest third-party competitive platform.

For players, this means the Train era in competitive CS2 is officially over — no reserve status, no alternative queues, and no exceptions. The focus now shifts entirely to Anubis, with a new meta, new strategies, and a fresh competitive landscape taking shape.
