The Story of CS:GO: The Game That Never Dies 

THAT WAAS THE MOST HYPED INTRO EVER

“And we found this new site...” Absolutely iconic quote

You know it's a good game when you keep finding yourself coming back to it. And even if I'm sunk into another title, I will still tell people that CS is undoubtedly my favorite. At this point, it's not a game. It's a religion.

I can imagine myself watching this 10 - 20 years down the line , getting all teary eyed and happy that I was a part of this.

Whoever was the editor, or editors, for that intro deserve a raise. Or at least take them out to dinner. What an absolute tour de force of hype.

"I'm not crying, you're crying."

Well, if something's gonna kill CS. It has to be another CS.

Here after final CS:GO major. ❤️❤️ Thanks for everything. I've been diagnosed with stenosis and I can't walk much or go out to play a lot, but CS gives me happiness. Thanks for everything. ❤️

“Rushing B after a few beers” now THATS what CSGO is all about.

This game taught me how to type ‘quit’ in 0.5 seconds

It's probably the last day of CS:GO. It won't be there tomorrow. And I'm here with a heavy heart watching this video which makes me realise how much a game can mean to people. CS will be forever in our hearts ❤️

I know I watched this too late, but looking at this made me cry as I feel fortunate to live through all of this when my Dad first introduced me when I as 5. I wasn't really into it, but 10 years later after CS:S, I was given CSGO as a gift from my Dad with the message: "Let's Rush B". Happy that I was able to really know all this history why CS is so beloved by my dad :)

Counter Strike was the game that taught every fps shooter game that you run faster when holding a knife

This Needs to be a Netflix series. HANDS DOWN.

I remember when I was 8 years old, my father brought me to his office for the first time and theres his personal computer the white one. he's attending a meeting in order for me to not get bored he let me play the game counter strike and start to love it. First game first introduced to a computer.

Imagine going out in ww3 with an aug that has anime girls in it. That's a gamer moment right there.

Me: *watch this video *gets hype for csgo *Queue for competitive mm *lost again *watch this video again

These game makes my grades goes from 90+ to 70+

Even with overwatch and valorant, cs:go and TF2 still lives

The ending scene “I’m not crying you are “

This video genuinely made me cry, I have been playing counter strike ever since I was about 6-7 years old because of my two older brothers installing it on the family computer. I am 25 now. This gave me the feels. Cs 1.5 and 1.6 will forever be in my heart 😭😭

This game/series will not die cause it’s the best competitive fps game ever made and just in general one of the best fps games ever made.

A year and a few months later and this still holds true. Navi vs Liquid the other day had like 231k viewers, it wasn’t a final or anything. Crazy how this game can stay alive for as long as it has. I hope it never dies. Too many memories. If valve keeps updating there won’t be a need for a csgo 2.

Cs go players: valve doesnt give cs enough love and support! Me, a tf2 player: you guys get support?

CS will always have a place in my heart, no matter how many times I curse the developers or get triggered by cheaters, I’ll always remember it as the GOAT that paved the way for so many more Esports titles. Even though I’ve retired the mouse, I’ll never forget the countless hours I’ve played with friends that I’ll probably never talk to again, as well as the memories I held. #CSForever Edit: Thank you guys for the support. It means a lot to me that the community is still as strong as ever!

just brought me to tears to be honest, the hype that the guys behind their microphones gave us in every tournament is just crazy

Everyone’s talking about the hype intro, but that outro made me teary-eyed.

You literally brought tears in my eyes 😭😭😭 cs go forever..

wait wtf i just sat there for 30 mins and didnt realise. i love this game. to another 20 yrs

Who came back to this masterpiece after learning Counter-Strike 2 is real?

yo, the ending made me cry

0:37 The best statement to describe something, “and for the first time in history, *the best of all fucking time* “

Why am I so emotional over this I’ve played no more than 15 hours

The final shot being olofmeister almost brought me to tears espically bc he might retire soon.

Dear theScore esports team, thanks for that great recap of 20 years game excellence. Thanks for all that goosebump moments. I am happy and grateful to be a part of the CS:GO community.

at the end of the video: "I'm not crying, you're crying. stop"

Every time I watch this video, I launch CS:GO, lose pistol round, team says “gg”, so I leave until this video gets recommended again.

I just realized....I've been playing CS for 20 years....wow First memory: My friend told me about a place where you can play computer games, a 'cyber cafe', I didnt know about it that much and I just tagged along ! I joined a game, dust1 on cs1.2 or cs1.3 i dont remember. I died nearly all the fucking time except the first time when I actually got a kill with a pump action shot gun. I remember that day clearly and I think poured so much money after that into cyber cafes until I finally got DSL, when DSL // broadband internet became a normal thing everyone got ( yeah just imagine the days without free flowing internet and wifi). I will admit before the broad band and even some year or two after broadband I used to play with bots offline, namely PODbot, on hard they were like playing against all kennyS xD ! And I finally got broadband and played online ! The rest is history.....Such amazing people, fun games, fy_iceworld and fy_pool_day XD , watching VALVE replace the WAN network with STEAM slowly and watching steam grow up to what it is now... I'm not as good as these pro players even after 20 years, but it sure does help release stress after a hard day at work. Its a lifestyle.. I love Counter-Strike !

Welcome to CS2 Every one. Remember how hated go was same as CS2. CS2 Will Shine thru

this entire video feels like an actual documentary that had a huge budget and would be shown on tv. Also, if the editor/editors of that intro didnt get a raise or something then im gonna write someone an angry email.

Finally another “the story of” video! Miss the days when these were frequent on the channel

This video is fucking great and they know it. I got goosebumbs like 25 Times while watching this

The boston major was the first csgo esport i watched and it was live and it was on tv i was so lucky, that was when i fell in love with cs that undoubtedly the best major finals in csgo history.

csgo never dies but the amount of money that i spent on cases makes me want to die

Can we just take a moment to appreciate how theScore Esports edited this video and made it really good.

CS is 22 years old today!

You guys were definitely right. Csgo just hits its highest peak few days ago

“It’s a 20 year old half-life mod with awful graphics, outdated mechanics, and a shitty sound engine,” and “the medium for clicking heads against which all others are judged” are some of the funniest lines ever

In honor of the sickest editing I've ever seen, I finally followed the intro instructions and hit the notification bell...

I always comeback to this video at least twice a year, its such an amazing video that captures the emotions and heart of the CS community. This video is all you ever need to show someone who questions why you don't like valorant or many other competitive shooters, because CS has an identity. Its a flawed, out dated, aiming simulator that has brought the world close to just enjoy some damn video games. In a world with so many problems, CS majors are able to take everyone out their issues and lives and come together to watch the greats play. I will always have a deep love and place in my heart for this game and I truly hope CS lives on for many years to come.

This video makes me feel patriotic to a game I don’t even play

this is literally one of the only channels that's ever made me teary-eyed, and it's done it multiple times

the Outro scene was so beautiful -the music -winning moments from old teams to the newer ones -memorable plays -skadoodle and get right in their goodbyes -showing the gods of csgo Niko S1mple and Olof and then lasltly the fans waving then csgo title comes up. damn edit: and in dupreeh clip i recently found out about this but it was an interview for a finals game he dedicated to his father who recently passed away that time :(

I remember in 1999, 9 years old, and my cousin comes over to tell me and my brother (as we are playing Half Life deathmatch) about this cool thing where someone made a type of half life deathmatch game where you can buy weapons and stuff as you win. Who could have predicted that 23 years later, I'm still playing and enjoying it as much and 9 year old me. What a game

No developer has the balls to make a game with such high skill ceiling and fair gameplay. CSGO will not die as long as people who wants to really test their skills are around.

The thing is... It was nostalgic. Everyone play cs when they were kids. Tears.

Such a great watch. Im insanely honored that the first tournament clip opened with my very own live commentary at DreamHack Summer 2011. only just found out Im in this video :)

Greatest fps game of all time, my dad introduce counter strike to me when i was younger playing cs1.6 is one of the best thing I've experienced in gaming.

As a new player that started playing maybe 3 weeks ago, this video almost brought me to tears

Am I really about to watch a 30 min video about CS:GO? 30 minutes later: Guess I did.

Me: oh new video from the score esports *enjoys video* Me: i wanna play Cs now *gets destroyed 16-0*

Whenever I am having a bad day or feeling down or something like that I watch this... it gives the goosebumps of excitement. CS IS A COMMUNITY THAT WILL NEVER BE BROKEN.

Here after CS:GO has 1 million concurrent players nowadays, being the biggest game not just on Steam but on any platform, ever.

"vAlOrAnt 'S gOnnA kIlL CSGO "- Now where are you guys i mean both games are doing well. but no game can kill cs

"Valve doesn't care about csgo" Oh god, if tf2 was treated as good as you...

Just saw this again now, almost exactly a year since it came out. I bet the online era would have had its own chapter if this little documentary was made this or next year. Love this doku. Makes me cry evertim

“The game that never dies” Minecraft: hey

The greatest series on RU-vid is back again

Everyone: CS:GO is a dead game Me: *Show this video*

moms watching this be like: "its just a game" Csgo professionals: So you have choosen death

You had me at "a few beers." Beautiful time capsule you've created man. Thank you.

Dude I got MAD chills watching the intro to this video.

"Photorealistic guns" *Cocks ak-47 83 times without reloading*

im not crying , your crying

I've watched this video like 10 times already, it made me emotional everytime, and it gave me the biggest goosebumps I've ever experienced, I haven't played csgo in a year and didn't pay attention to it that much than the old days, but after I watch this video again, I came back and kept watching csgo everyday again, this is probably one of my favourite videos on youtube. And thank you for reminding me about how great csgo is, and for me, nobody can kill cs, it was, is and always will be my favourite game I've ever played...

That cloud 9 vs faze clan game continues to give me goosebumps

Valve: makes a bad update CS player: the game is dead CS player: leaves *Csgo major tournament* Valve: makes a good update CS players: plays the game again Valve: makes another bad update *repeat the process for 20 years

Me remembering all these moments is making me even more emotional- This game even for its all flaws and fails, is truly an amazing game.

36 now, and around 2000 was the first time installing this mod for half-life.. little did i know how it would change me

no one : literally no one : kennys : my manager was better than me

Here after people saying Valorant will kill CS.... As if that's gonna happen.

"The Game that never dies“ So that was a fucking lie

2021 and counting. Player numbers records are being shattered left and right. CS isn’t going anywhere.

I will still never forgive Valve for how they've treated csgo. I mean they had televised matches on network tv in 2016. All it would have taken was the slightest investment from them to make it a mainstream thing in the US and yet they couldn't be bothered.

"DOTA get's all the all of the attention that cs deserves" TF2: First time?

This video is literally 30 minutes of good nostalgia, I've had goosebumps for the entire video!

I’m a Certified Pre-CS 1.5 Veteran. The Days Before Riot Shields. Started playing in 2001 in Grade 7 as a 13 year old and still play today at 34yrs young 💪🏻

imagine asking "why you like cs?" , we don't know either. We just do.

Editor: We need some good clips... Everyone at theScore esports: *OLOF*

I cried watching this, I was there since CS 1.0. I remember when I was in first grade in elementary school, everyday after school I always play CS on my old white yellowish computer my grandfather gave me, I play with bots bcoz back then in my country CS wasn't really well known, I don't have any friend to play with. Korean-made CS ripoffs like Point Blank and Crossfire were more popular here. Most of my friends mock CS for having a bad graphics & mechanics. Decades later, CS:GO was released and I'm still playing CS to this day. I convinced some of my friend from Point Blank to try CS:GO and they stopped playing other game, they play CS:GO full time now. CS was always been a home to me, and seeing my "home" grow that BIG just makes me happy.

That start gave me more goosebumps that I've ever had.

"Rushing B after a few beers" *50 terrorists burst through tuns*

The old R8 Me: *:O* CS:GO players: **Has flash back** OH NO

Been with cs since 2005, at the age of 10. Eventhough Ive had breaks lasting years, I still play it and I will always come back to it.

Damn this video hits deep, hits home, its home!

"The game that will never die"

“Rushing B after a few beers”... now if that wasn't a shout-out to all of Russia then I dunno

I've never loved a game like I used to love 1.6, every day coming back from school at ages 8 ~ 12, launching a pirated version for pirate servers, getting in with all my friends and playing until food was ready... I loved those years. I might not play CS:GO nearly as much because I have other priorities, but damn did CS in general shape my childhood. Great memories.

This video is such great quality, now I want to dedicate myself to CSGO entirely, even if my family does not agree with me, I simply want to become one of the best players this game has ever seen. It's gonna be a long way to travel, I know it's gonna be very painful, with a lot of good and not so good surprises I'm 100% sure that it starts TODAY.
