New references to the Pulse system related to Vertigo were discovered in the latest Counter-Strike 2 update files. This may indicate that Valve is preparing the map for a potential return to the official competitive map pool after the StarLadder Budapest Major 2025.
The changes were first noticed by a dataminer, who pointed out that Pulse — an internal scripting system for maps — had been updated for several locations, including Vertigo. According to him, such adjustments often precede larger updates, including potential map pool rotations following major tournaments.

Vertigo was removed from the competitive pool in early 2025 and replaced by the revamped version of Train. Earlier reports also suggested that Valve acquired the rights to Cache, and references to the map have been repeatedly found in CS2’s files, further fueling speculation about upcoming map pool changes.
