to remove pit from long A

How come? You're removing potential CT posts. How do you expect to hold long A?

Shouldn't it be a headache if they lost a man? I'd argue that you should be at a distinct disadvantage if you lose a man early.

Of course, but it will make it that much more difficult to take map control that you will inherently lose knowing B is an easier target to take. You will be forcing CTs to play even more statically and spread out than they would in a normal d2 set-up in 4v4 or 3v3s.

Retakes should not be easy, but they should be possible. As B site is currently, almost no pro teams even attempt retakes unless they absolutely have to, and going tunnels on a retake is a death sentence. I think opening up more routes for retakes might alleviate this.

I totally agree, although open tuns allow for a theoretically easier retake for CTs (and again, not really, just look at the hiding spots in B), the net result of this update, is still favored towards the Ts.
