What is The New CS2 May Map Update ?
Weekly missions have been added, for example the first mission seen here is win 15 rounds on grail in competitive mode and get 900 XP, Counter Strike has never had this type of mission before, this mission will be available to claim each week upon completion.

How To Play The New CS2 Mission?
You will be able to access or view this weekly cs2 mission from the home menu and click on it to start searching for the game, or simply from play menu and then click on the mission tab bellow.
Agency is Back!
If you played Counter Strike Global Offensive in it's early stages you must have played in Agency, it was a very iconic map, wasn't in the competitive map pool but it was a hostage rescue map and was popularly played in deathmatch, now it is back in CS2 with a modern touch and blend of graphics!
What is The Mission Reward?
Upon completion of the weekly mission, you will get XP in return, for this week the reward is 900xp.
What is Grail?
Grail is the newly added map and it looks absolutely stunning, it appears to be a golf course but in a castle that is Disney land themed or something straight out of an mmorpg or an rpg like Skyrem, think of it as cobble stone back to counter strike as a fantasy map from shrek, you should check it out for yourself, here is how Grail looks like.
What Does Grail Look Like?
Could this be a reference for dragon lore? would this be coble stone's replacement?
Since B site could be a reference to the dragon lore, could this random octopus be the theme of a new legendary kraken AWP?
This map has hidden messages and easter eggs that can be seen throughout the map, and based on the images you see, it is safe to assume that Grail is simply a fatasy mini golf course, it does however give hints of Romania, Poland & Germany.
CS2 Grail Easter Egg Poster 1:
" The heroes were fitted with the best equipment from the kings armory. From swords to battle axes and bows, they could pick whichever great weapon they wanted to help them on the road ahead"
Does this mean that in CS2 our traditional style of knives could evolve into swords & axes?
CS2 Grail Easter Egg Poster 2:
"With the holy grail in their possession, the heroes vanquished the giant octopus and all was well again. The kingdom prospered once more, and everyone lives happily ever after. The end "
This giant octopus reference I cannot help but think that this is a hint about some kraken theme skins coming soon to CS2
