Why is this corridor in Inferno called "Banana"?
I was watching a recent replay of a CS:GO match. For some reason the casters kept talking about a team "keeping great control of banana". For example at around 19:04 in this ESL video. At first I thought I misheard, but then I checked various maps online, including this one:
And for sure, there it is: "BANANA".
All of the other callouts / names on this map make sense somehow. Is there some inside CS:GO joke that I'm missing here?
Why is it called "Banana"?
Best Answer
Because it's curved like a banana.
(Some people online say it's because there's a yellow car, but this is incorrect - the same stretch was called 'banana' in CS 1.6, and there was no car on the map back then)

This sets up pincer attacks for both the A and B bombsites. The other major alleyway on the map is banana, which is named due to its shape. Banana is the go-to pathway between the T spawn and B bombsite, which has corners to hide behind for terrorists on one end and props for cover on the counter-terrorist side.Who made inferno CSGO?
