The map is inspired by the harbor of Antwerp, one of the biggest in the world!

It includes several custom models of typical Antwerp objects. Such as diamonds, paintings of Peter Paul Rubens, and known Antwerp buildings in the skyline, such as the MAS museum and Zaha Hadid’s Harbour house.

Launch

The Antwerp Harbor was launched in May 2022 with a beautiful booth inside an Antwerp shopping mall. The booth was built with a real-life clone of a container also found inside the CS:GO map.
Belgian influencer William Bouva played the first official match against mayor Bart De Wever.
