A game of unforgettable moments, adrenaline-rushing action, and heartbreaking defeats.
The highest highs and the lowest lows you'll ever experience in gaming.
Some of the worst people you'll meet online, and some who will become friends for years to come.

A game that takes minutes to learn and a lifetime to master.
The skill ceiling is so absurdly, unfathomably high – even the greatest players in the world STILL learn new things about it even after 20,000+ hours.
There's always a new way to improve, a new strategy to learn, a new smoke, a new flash... a new match.

A game in which you'll play the same maps, over and over, using the same guns, over and over – but no two matches will ever feel the same.
Each opponent brings with them a new book of strategies and gameplay styles. You'll learn to adapt against them, but only if you put in the effort required to do so.
The game, and its players, are constantly evolving & adapting – Counter-Strike will never be "solved"

A game that will make you angry, but will also make you euphoric. You might break a keyboard or two in a fit of rage, but you also might make some new friends and/or memories for life.
And with each experience, you'll improve.
Once this game sinks its hooks into you, you'll keep coming back. And you won't be able to stop.

A game that I am hopelessly addicted to, and stuck in an abusive relationship with.
It's Counter-Strike, baby. The pure, uncut crack cocaine of first-person shooters.
