Also interesting, the same about de_dust2 - which is still my favorite map. Followed by Aztec.

There are people to this day that will still grind on dust2 and office for days on end it seems. It's probably impossible to know but I am sure there are people who have played those maps 20 thousand times.

20k rounds at 2 minute rounds is under 1000 hours. I would expect anyone that played CS1.6 or CSS seriously to have that on de_dust2. Probably many have played 20k de_dust2 matches too.

Pretty sure I had well over 1k hours on de_dust2, de_nuke in practice/competition games alone (not public), and I considered myself a casual clan player.

EDIT: seems rounds were shorter than I remembered
