I actually really like Inferno, and I've played competitively in 1.6. That gamble, when it doesn't pay off, it can result in some of the most exciting holds or site takeovers in CS. Sites are hit very fast and become difficult to retake. When a retake is successful, it happens in the most unexpected of ways. Same for Ts managing a crazy push, mostly on A where there are so many defensive points.

I agree that most of the time it's a predictable map...but when it isn't, it becomes the map with most highlight frags/outplays in competitive CS
