A Tribute to CS:GO by HLTV 

2012: CS is dying. 2024: A love letter to CS:GO

From a 38 old year man, that played 24 years off and on, I can confirm, the best game out of there and nothing come close

I don't know French, but every time I hear Scrawny say those lines in French during the last Major's final; it gives me goosebumps, hypes me up.

CS:GO wasn't just a game. It was part of our lives. No game has left such a hole in my heart and none other can fill it. 🖤

Some cried, some lie and say they don't

The old maps at the end hit right through the heart ❤

I miss this game so much...

I love that this video started with a true OG narrating it such as TAZ!

As a person, who played cs 1.5, 1.6, source, csgo... I cried... I am not playing anymore but, just want to say that it was please time to spend with... I wish CS2 the best, nothing more...

The ending hit me hard, made me realize that there is no going back to this, we had the perfect opportunity witness what we have today in the making. I really hope Valve treats this game with care and respect like they have done at times in the past, they have a jewel on their hands. Thank you, Valve and CSGO Developers, for making the game we knew and loved.

the maps, moments, hit regs, the players vibes i miss those

TaZ is the reason why i played CS. Thank you, TaZ & HLTV

I'm 38 years old, I started playing CS when I was 18. It all blinked by so fast. The late night mIRC scrims in #sourceinvite (inviteonly), xfire, making new friends from scrims/pugs. Forming a team to win CAL-O, getting destroyed by a invite/main remake team. Then doing the whole thing all over again the following season. I wouldn't trade CS for anything, it is the best game in the world to me. It has given me life long friends and memories. Fuck COD, CS IS LIFE! IF YOU'RE GOOD AT CS, YOU WILL DESTROY ANYONE IN ANY OTHER FPS! LET'S FUCKIN GO BOYS!!!!

goosebumps, memories, the best game of all time

When a love letter tributed to a video game gives you chills, it's the greatest feeling. I love you CS:GO. Always have, always will. We miss you. 🧡

this shit almost brought a tear to my eyes, I was 13-15 years old grinding CS:GO got to LEM and I remember when CS:GO was all I knew in life. glad to grow up and grow SO MUCH as a person, but sometimes miss the days of staying up until 7am grinding this game every single summer for 3 years straight.

Never know csgo was a good game until cs2 came

I still remember when i was 4~5 years old, i was sitting next to my dad and he played 1.6. I really enjoyed watching his play. But now, my dad sitting and i playing cs2.

CS is not dying, CS is never dying, it is just we are dying.

It was never about the destination but the journey. Made a few memories that are going to last forever. Thank you, CS:GO, for being my escape from reality. 💙

Taz cs 1.6 interviews always gives me chills man

2017-2022 Best gaming years of my Life, 5 years to this Beautiful game

I'm writing this comment rn to see it and this video again many many years into the futue and remember all these happy thousand of hours I've spent in CS:GO. I love you, Global Offensive!

I almost 36 years old. Counter-Strike is part of our healthy childhood. When we are 60, we will know better than ever ♥

Counter-Strike has always been a part of my life since CS beta 6.0. I'm very thankful to the devs Gooseman and Jess Cliffe for creating such a masterpiece which has become legacy in the gaming world. And I'm thankful to my brother for showing me this game. It has changed my life and it gave me one of the best moments of it.

I love this game since 99. I had to stop playing it for years because of job and family but i never felt it get so bad like it is today.

Editor deserves a raise, lovely video

2023 wasn't the year where cs2 was realeased, it was the year where csgo ended.

a game loved by millions

This is truly the definition of "Enough to make a grown man cry".

I'm not crying, you're crying.

I'm playing this game since 2014. I was 15 y.o... I can't believe how many unforgettable emotions this game has given me. How many interesting people I met there. This game is the one that brought me together with my friends who have become the best for me in 10 years. Even if sometimes we argued, thank you all for being in my life. I love everyone, wish you luck, and unforgettable victories in CS2!

Should be an apology letter "Sorry CSGO, we know you were a better game but we cant go back now because of pride. The community wont notice half a second extra peekers advantage when playing on average internet connection, right???" - CS2

I just don't understand how time went by so fast. Feels like yesterday I played the beta. GG

First few seconds reminds me of those 1,6 LAN parties we did during primary school and the fact that i remember most of these moments makes it even better. Ty csgo

i never saw the major when NiP won it, but bro, seing get right crying in front ot the trophy is hurting me so much, what an absolute legend

Good old days, this game will be remember for years to come. Masterpiece

1.6 player from very early age. I pre ordered csgo, and followed the scene from 2014 to 2019 , signed up on HLTV in 2016. It was some lonely years in my life that CSGO helped out with.

"C'est votre Major, c'est votre moment" INCROYABLE

CSGO ending lines up perfectly with me turning 20… like man this is hard enough now even valve is telling me my teens are over

It was a huge part of my life. Can’t say that cs2 is going to be. 1.6 and csgo marked my childhood days. Time to move on. Goodbye❤️

Can't hold my tears CS:GO is love CS:GO was life...

i really miss csgo man..... its part of my life for so long.. i grew up with that game

25 years ago, my friend from school said "do you want to come to the net cafe with me?" and it changed my whole life. Thank you for all the happiness ❤

in 2002 I met my first love in a Lan House... And i'm still in love to the same. I Love You Counter-Strike ♥

Once upon a time in our lives we had this beauty of a game that wrote the biggest chapter of history that no one will forget

Counter Strike will never die. Still playing 21 years later ❤️

There's now even possibility of our future kids playing CS2

The story was written in the best possible lines. I miss CS 1.6 and CSGO, thanks for everything.

i remember when we would spam HLTV videos with: ❤ 1.6 but csgo sucks And the dislike bar was always a sith lightsaber. Counter strike is such a good piece of culture.

Imagine Counter-Strike was just a game mode back then in half-life

I have 42 years old and I play CSGO for 24 years and still have fun with it. An still a noob master.

"Valve, Counter-Strike, mr Gaben, please take care of our lovely game Counter-Strike. It's not to late!"

maaan the goosebumps the tears in my eye i swear this game makes me feel things even thou life got in between us but at still watching games...forever iin love with CS

CS:GO is true masterpiece and the best game that I played in my life. Now I already see that cs2 will never be better. Miss so much :(

Even though I only became part of Counter-Strike world because of my departure from Dota 2 in late 2020, those mere 3 years that I had with this game were so unbelievable, this video shreds me with tears

I cried so strongly, thoses words at Paris resound in me when I was in the Arena. That's the end of an era, but the start of a new one. Thanks CS GO

I was 18 when 1.3 was released and I started to play. I like the old CS more (people call it 1.6, but I prefer 1.3, maybe 1.5). I still play CS from time to time. Obviously silver league. But I am glad the game still exists and rocks.

Oh Dear Lord! CSGO will always be in my heart.

It's still so sad that it's gone! 💔

I love this video man, Got my memories from the past.

for those who looking for BGM, it's Aleksey Chistilin - Pictures from the Past.

GREATEST GAME OF ALL TIME,THANK YOU VALVE FOR UNFORGETTABLE MEMORIES! 10K HOURS IN CS 1.6 AND 8K HOURS IN CSGO,A LOT OF FRIENDSHIPS WHICH I MADE IN GAME AND REAL LIFE BECAUSE OF THE GAME AND A LOT LAN TOURNAMENTS I VISITED BECAUSE OF THE GAME.ALWAYS IN MY HEARTH,THANKS AGAIN!

cs 1.6 will always be in my heart

So many people left this counter strik bubble and lived the real world and it feels like it was so loong time ago and at the same time like yesterday

Man I’m gonna miss csgo forever

Pure goosebumps, i will miss csgo.

Goosebumps, just goosebumps.

yea ever since skins were added up untill like 2019 csgo was great, after that i just didn't give a shit for some reason lol played it every now and then but never got the same drive to play it for hours each day, maybe life just got in the way but i feel blessed to have witnessed the best esports moments during that time, nothing comes even close

this video brought so many feels. I will always love the csgo community. even if valve doesnt care, the community does, we do. we are counter strike :)

I'm not crying you're crying. CSGO was my first fps love and will always have a place in esports history and in my heart. RIP CS:GO.

This game will always hold a space in my heart❤

bro...wanna make me cry ? ...insane video

Idk why but I am already feeling nostalgic even when i started csgo in 2019

RIP CS:GO, the best game

"Don't cry because it's over, smile because it happened" Dr Seuss.
