Inferno has received a lot of criticism for its balance issues, which usually leads to huge counter-terrorist leads in the first half of games. This along with low lighting, narrow chokepoints, and varied visibility (both too much and too little in different locations) have kept Inferno out of the map pool at professional tournaments.
The pros and analysts that have taken a look only have positive things to say about the update so far.
