Not even an original idea, I saw G2 get buried by Navi just last week. Esports is truly ahead of the game

Donk to Astralis during the Sh1ro save, just before the 10 round streak from Astralis to take Mirage and continue this final. We got a game on our hands

Maj3r calling masterclass "Go B, Go B, Go B, Go B, Go B, Go B, Go B, Go A" IGL's hate him, with this one weird trick this guy was able to beat G2 and Vitality

A CSGO story in two parts

"rush monster"

The year is 2045. Rain celebrates his 50th birthday in his polish hotel room. It's map 4, map point, 3400-3402 to G2. Ready to head in to a fifth. m0NESY is 39, his wife and kids look on in disbelief. A crazy 4k. He's done it. He's taken us to Nuke. JKS has 5 mil unread emails

Congrats DRILLAS That was awesome to watch @meztalCS @woro2k @AMSALEMcs @Kvem_csgo @hAdjiCSGO & @ohnePixel are going to China, and they got there in the wildest way possible. BO3's throughout, 13 minutes final map stomp. Wtf

Can't believe Rio built him a statue already

Tell me you wouldn't throw one of these out there just to be safe

Absolutely legendary from Navi. Aleksib to go from setback to setback, to dealing a crushing defeat to Faze in a grand final at the Major, it wasn't even close. jL earning the nickname jLegend, and dominating in map 3. iM showing he is still in form and that he can perform when it matters most. W0nderful essential to bring Navi here, and follows in S1mple's footsteps, picking up the precious major trophy. B1T was so shaky all groups, but as the legacy Navi member he found his voice when it mattered most and was mid blowing in the final. Blad3 shows that him and Aleksi are the unstoppable minds of CS, and it doing so adds another trophy to his cabinet. Navi prove the move to international was the right choice. Wow What an unbelievable run

Boomer meme but also the truth

Guys... The bomb didn't spawn in, in a double OT Game between Eternal Fire and Dignitas... I've never seen that happen before. Eternal Fire got to site and realised that no one had it and it wasn't dropped anywhere WTF @CSGO plz help, give bomb back plz

"they have Niko" @Maj3r_ "We have XANTARES" Proceeds to 13:3 the head to head Fair enough

The sad truth is that CS is such a perfect game it doesn't really need updates. I think the lack of content, innovation & change is a testament to just how good it is. CS is like water. Water (H20) hasn't undergone any significant changes in centuries and yet fuck is it good

Been pretty radio silent on here, but that's because I've been raising the next big CS talent. Got him digesting some Navi, want him to appreciate the Blad3 + Aleksi system, and to understand what a crazy trio of riflers is capable of 🙏🏼 Gotta start 'em off real early nowadays

Public service announcement: No matter what games you play, be it Fortnite, Overwatch, Rocket League, Smash, or even the newly announced Play Valorant; remember that all the time you invest would be better spent mastering the masterpiece that is Counter Strike Global Offensive.

😇😇😇

Surely this means we're getting new guns in CS2. Now you can have both M4's equipped, but T's don't have much to swap in/out. Also where are the LMG's? M249/Negev, don't see them listed. Is M249 mid tier? Surely not. Very curious. Don't know how I feel about this yet, my immediate reaction isn't great but wanna try it and see. The both M4's thing is cool tho, enjoy that

Counter-Strike.

Great to see Anders getting this hyped up

GIVEAWAY TIME To celebrate the major being well away I figured I'd unbox some cases. As luck would have it I've now acquired this knife and wanna give back to y'all. To enter simply RT + Follow. Winner drawn at the conclusion of the major 🔥

Love this so much @HugoTV - from the end of map 2 LETS GOOOOO BABY

Couldn't think of a better face for @CSGO than @s1mpleO The GOAT in more ways than one. Replayed his speech a few times already, to say it made me emotional is a monumental understatement. Nothing but love ♥️🇺🇦

Just want to say I had the best time 😭😭 it didn't feel real when we found out, and it still doesn't now that it's over. Thanks to @pglesports for giving us the opportunity to oversee Counter Strike 2's first ever major final. Thank you all for the support and love, this game means the world to me and it's given me everything I could ever ask for. I want to thank everyone who showed up, in the stadium and online. You're all a part of the beauty that is Counter Strike. Seeing a collection of people all pulled together by their mutual love for a videogame, and being able to express and share that love with friends they don't know yet is wonderful. The feeling of togetherness in these events is truly unmatched and so I hope, no matter where in the world you are, you felt a part of something special, something bigger, because I certainly did. Huge love for my brother, my partner in crime, my best friend @HugoTV for embarking on this wild ride with me. I think we can all agree he smashed that shit. I have so much respect and adoration for him. I also want to shout-out the star studded talent lineup. @OfficialBleh deservedly graduates to the grand final club too, started as the Asian CS expert all the way to the grand finals of a major. A legend and a life long friend. @RLewisReports what a wonderful human. He always kept the team together, is an absolute class act and he absolutely smashed this major. It was an honor to work alongside one of the true greats of esports. I was gonna write something for everyone but it feels like it's a bit cringe, and a bit long, so I'll try something for the group. Everyone came together and delivered something spectacular, from start to finish the vibes were immaculate, and I think that showed across the show that everyone put on. Thank you all for being so wonderful these last two weeks ❤️❤️ If every other event is full of this much fun, comradery and team work then we are all genuinely truly blessed. A life long memory and a fantastic one at that

Can't believe it, on HLTV Confirmed cArn just said that Fnatic will be F0rest, Get_right, ALEX (Spanish one), Brollan and Jayzwalkingz going forward with Alex (french) as coach. They're all learning Spanish to accommodate ALEX. Very bold choice but excited to see how it pans out

The best clutch in CS2 competitive history?

No words @csgo

POV: You're stood under James balcony before a big match

CSGO IS THE BEST OF THE BEST, THE BEST IN THE FUCKING WORLD, CS FOREVER BABYYYYYYYY

Sign the petition, save G2

Mirage players

Faze clan will always be the most entertaining team in CS. No one does it quite like them

Pro tip - to avoid dying crossing the mid doors on Dust 2, simply don't put it in the queue and play a better map

I feel bad for Dev1ce, the guy is a legend of the game doing everything he can but a one man army is never going to be enough, especially not when you're expected to entry, clutch, plant, support, make food for the squad, mental coach, kickflip, steak knife, card shark

@SPUNJ I'm willing to do things @MACHINEgg would never. You are my king. My master. I will wait on you hand and foot. Together you could rule the world and I'll be by your side every step of the way

Henlo @CSGO 👉👈 Can we overhaul the MM system in a meaningful way, whether that's 128 tick servers, more to combat fresh accounts/smurfs/cheaters, the inclusion of seasons, more stats + numbers or a map pool that shows off community maps made by CS's talented mappers. Thank you

😅 @G2esports

Okay I've played source 2 dozens of times, maybe 20 times? Maybe 50? It's huge. It's a massive. Everything is huge now. Dust 2? 30km. Mirage? 50km. On Anubis the bridge towers above you like an alien super structure. The guns are so large you can't hold them. They weigh thousands of pounds. Probably the biggest update for any title ever, it's huge

As a commentator this may be thoroughly unprofessional to make this statement but it must be said because the truth has no bias. Faze clans biggest hurdle is about to be overcome. Karrigan in his final form finding glory to kickstart his third iteration of CS, in his home country no less. Frozen unchained, unleashed on the big stage. Hungry for a major trophy. Ropz, the ice man, always good to close rounds, always chipping away at the extremities. Rain big game player, big game master, the cave man of counter strike and everything he does is fire. Broky, bringing elegance to the AWP and always ready to deliver. He only has one setting, the pressure never gets to him. Faze Clan are winning the major

If you told me he was cheating I'd believe you

Niko is the reason Faze lost to C9 at the ELEAGUE Major. In this 48 part twitter essay I will explore the hypothesis with appropriate evidence that Niko was indeed the problem. Up until recently we could only hypothesise who was responsible, however as research continues we 1/48

Imagine if the "Ranked" mode in CS opened up the possibility of128 tick servers, and a more fleshed out rank/MMR system. This update could be a sick foundation for so many improvements in the future. Make CSGO have it's own "path to pro" vibe, MM leaderboards etc. Would be mad

Unboxed these nasty little things lol RT + Follow, I'll give them away in 10 days, cause I'm never using them ever

Sun Gods in Brazil 🇧🇷

16:9 gang vs 4:3 users Who wins?

After a pretty rough 2020 I got diagnosed with depression. Really wasn't feeling my usual self all last year, I do think it reflected in my casting. Since taking medication, and making better lifestyle choices I am finally starting to feel more normal. Hopefully y'all can tell

.@AstralisCS ?? #IEM

Fun fact Astralis have employed 50% of all ESIC banned Danes (post ban) This metric is higher if you count Hunden twice from 2 separate incidents. Employed (valve ban length): Hunden (5 majors) Ave (2 majors) Casle (5) Not currently employed: Ruggah (1) Fetish (1) Rejin (perm)

The evolved form of @Sadokist in Shanghai 2.0 🇨🇳

He’s the hero CS deserves, but not the one it needs right now. So we’ll hunt him...Because he can take it...Because he’s not a classic nerdy computer kid. He’s one of the first to get a girlfriend, and a very social person... a dark knight

Tested positive for missing LAN events

C9 are cooked mentally. This team needs a break. They're just rolling from L to L rn They've got the gamer mindset of can't end on a loss, but are -600 ELO in the hole & it's starting to get bright out type vibe. They need time to process their grief of their major shortcomings and regather themselves. Sadly this felt inevitable

Highest rated debut? Naaaa how about the joint highest big event rating ever, in what just so happened to be his debut. The most insane individual feat you've ever seen in CS. History made. Today was the day some crazy 17 year old broke CS WOW. Never seen anything like it

Giveaway time Unboxed this beautiful AK Nightwish (MW). Shit is straight fire but I won't use it, so let's give it a loving home. RT + Follow to enter. Winner drawn in 10 days, good luck!😎

Now I can finally reveal to the world that me and @f0rest have a heated rivalry in source 2. It's the first and most compelling storyline of the new game. I was first picked for @GeT_RiGhT's star studded squad with @fl0m and @MACHINEgg and we're the top dogs in CS 2

Out of all the times this could have happened, I can't believe it was right before the major. Glad I could offer some help 🫡

4:3 vs 16:9

Paris Major is the end of an era 😭 Excited to see the first major in CS2, but Paris about to hit different. You'd forever be immortalised in the closing chapter of CSGO, and for some teams/players that can mean elation, but for others it'll be heartbreak. The last chance to leave a mark in CSGO Major history

How it started vs how it's going Nearly time to get this grand final started. Heroic, in impeccable form and embodying the spirit of vengeance, Vitality with chosen one Zywoo & heaps of experience looking to make a statement on the build up to Paris. This game about to bang 🔥

arT about to start pushing spawns like

Could cry rn 😭 doesn't feel real

🚨🚨 It's happening 🚨🚨 Me and @HugoTV on LAN with crowd covering the fucking banger that is Faze vs Gambit. Let's gooooooooo gamers

BREAKING: Astralis sign dark lord Sauron as their new head of Sports Psychology

Cast one map with @SPUNJ Already I've got millionaire investors in my DM's, I've been offered the next 10 majors, a brand new BMW, I've been gifted a timeshare in the Cayman Islands, and all my pipes have been thoroughly cleaned. I have 5k ELO & am in FPL despite not playing CS

Just you & me, Hugo. The outside world is our enemy, Hugo. We're the only friends we've got, Hugo. It's just Harry & Hugo. Hhharry & Hugo and their adventures, Hugo. Harry & Hugo, forever & forever, a hundred years Harry and Hugo things. All, a hundred days Harry and Hugo forever

It's official: @1juniorcs and @arTcsgo is my favourite CS bromance in CS rn

Having a pro Valorant player such as @GeT_RiGhT on the desk really does help bring in some new perspectives on things. Surprised he's coped with CS terminology so well, haven't heard him call a bomb the spike, or AK the Vandal etc at all yet which is great.

Disaster for Liquid

Y'all have been great lately so I'm giving away a Gut Knife Gamma Doppler fuck it RT + Follow to enter Winner drawn in 10 days (18th Oct)? Sure why not 🤙

This one feels special; for the entirety of the pandemic we cast Furia while they were trapped in NA. We spoke to them damn near daily & I was routing hard for em when LAN returned They never showed the same face once the world reunited, but now, here in Rio they're doing it🥰

Gotta give it to em, the @csgo devs are absolute geniuses when it comes to building hype Turns out the secret ingredient is to barely do anything, RT a few old tweets occasionally & then let people's imaginations run wild. The greatest marketing tool is the mind of the consumer

Technically it's my birthday today, although I refuse to count this last year as real, so here's to turning 22 for a second time 🤙

Most sane Counter Strike redditor

I personally think Cadian should be publicly executed via firing squad for even meeting the gaze of Blitz. I don't think Reddit has taken it far enough. I think they should grind up his bones and skin and feed them to the animals

The original NFT

Casting IEM Katowice with my best friend @HugoTV was a dream come true. It still doesn't feel real. I really hope y'all enjoyed it. We walked the halls of Kato in 2017 and 18, we always said it was our dream to cast at this event. Well we did it & we loved every second of it♥️

If there's one guy who could destroy Faze it's gonna be Niko, guy already has years of experience😅

And so CSGO ends with Niko, the rifling legend, never winning a major. Never even being able to contest for it in Rio, and falling shy of the big stage in Paris. A travesty. Happy for Fnatic rising to the challenge but god damn is that a sad ol' time for the G2 squad

My phone broke and the knock off cheap phone I bought as a replacement keeps crashing cause of all the notifications. Y'all are the best ❤️ I fucking love this game and it wouldn't be the same with you folks ❤️❤️ AHHHH

Someone sign Chaos Someone sign Chaos Please sign Chaos Save NA CS It's provocative, it gets the people going, and it's what the fans want Whoever does it would be the saviour of North American CS Sign Chaos Paid for by the Sign Chaos foundation

Was skeptical about the switch to MR30 but it's actually been hype af

Wow what a fucking game, great resilience from C9 to even make that competitive from 0-2 down, but in the end they couldn't stop Faze from achieving their destiny. First international team to win the Intel Grand Slam, Russel becomes the first pro to achieve 2 Grand Slams, Karrigan secures his legacy in the history books of CSGO, Ropz and Broky bringing more glory to the Baltics, and Rain "the architect" of Faze adds another achievement to his long tenure with the org. What a treat. Today was amazing. Showmatch into a historic grand final, what a way to end this incredible 5 week journey.

Man I love @TACOCS and this @GODSENT squad, he's really shaping up to be one hell of a leader and getting a lot of millage out of his boys. The leadership has come a long way and their results reflect that, they're sick. I find myself rooting for this squad to make the major 🇧🇷

I FUCKING LOVE @karriganCSGO

Just pre-ordered a PC with an i9 10900k, GTX 3090 24GB, 32GB 4000MHz RAM, 1.5TB SSD and 4TB HDD to run a nearly decade old game on all the absolute lowest settings at *hopefully* 300FPS. CS players are something else man I tell ya

Imagine for a moment, a Brazilian team composed of: HEN1 arT yuurih KSCERATO VINI Guerri (coach) Tacitus (assistant coach) Could be massive

God I have missed @yek1ndar interviews (especially ones where he's happy and cheerful with positive things to talk about) He's always eloquent, well spoken, and the level of detail and internal subjects he speaks about is great. No filler answers, no generic responses. Super insightful interview. Congrats to FURIA on playoffs, wonder how far they can take this. I'm watching keenly 👀

They walked... So he could run

Played our hearts out today. No words. We might not have one, but something clicked in this game. We know what we need to improve, @caspercadiaN is becoming a scary IGL in CS2 and next event we're taking the trophy. To @Xizt you won this in the veto. Next time we get our revenge

And I.. had.. The time of my life... Yeah I've never felt this way before And I swear... It's the truth. And I owe it all to @CSGO, @pglesports, the talent team & all the wonderful folks that came out this weekend to make it truly unforgettable. This will stay with me forever ❤️

Your pro counter strike/eAthlete alias is your mother's maiden name + the street you grew up on. Your org is your primary school + first pets name. Your HLTV rating is your 3 digit security code on your credit/debit card. What's everyone's results?

Trying to sleep but can't stop endlessly replaying the memory of Chaos CSGO not finding a proper, loving, deserving home in counter strike 😞

it's a part of the deep lore...

CS is unique in what it does because it matches you up with up to 4 mentally unstable individuals who you then have to psychoanalyse & problem solve with, diagnosing their deeply rooted and repressed rage, and then subsequently treating & curing it within an hour or else you lose
