Counter-Strike Global Offensive has a separate fan base altogether. No game can ever overtake its popularity. Even celebrities spend thousands of Euros on it for their favorite accessories. The game has grasped people’s undivided attention for the better half of a decade. So, it is not a surprise to see the extent people go to for in-game cosmetics and other items. While CS:GO’s popularity remains unmoved, competition has taken birth in the form of Valorant. Most pro players have been quitting their games to move on to Valorant. Even world champions are doing so, simply because Valorant offers much more scope with regards to the gameplay. Nevertheless, CS:GO [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Counter-Strike:_Global_Offensive] will remain the OG game of the 5v5 first-person-shooter genre. Here is a look at the incredible ways people spend their money on the game.

<img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-522863" src="https://image-cdn.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/20210121205412/71rVqrAy5QL._SL1500_-1-2-1.jpg" alt="" width="1500" height="844" />

Counter-Strike is well-known among a number of gamers. Unlike a lot of early shooter games like Call of Duty, there is no story mode. Instead, players are dropped on a random or previously chosen map in multiplayer games. The latest game is Counter-Strike: Global Offensive (CS:GO).

Developed by Valve and Hidden Path Entertainment, CS: GO is a multiplayer first-person shooter video game. The game released for PC, OS X, PlayStation 3, and Xbox 360 in August 2012. Later in 2014, the developers launched the Linux version.

The game pits two teams against each other, with the objective of eliminating the other. In addition to that, teams also have to complete separate objectives depending on the game mode. Teams either have to plant or defuse the bomb, or defend or rescue the hostages. Each specific game mode has distinct characteristics and there are nine such modes in total.
<h2>History of CS: GO</h2>
Counter-Strike: Global Offensive is the fourth game in the iconic Counter-Strike series. Since Counter-Strike: Source, the previous title, was approaching the end of its lifespan, Hidden Path Entertainment began working towards porting the game onto video game consoles. Hence, initial development began, and Valve spotted the opportunity to transform the port into an entire game while expanding on the gameplay.

CS: GO entered into development in March 2010. In August 2011, the existence of the upcoming game was revealed to fans. Finally, at E3 2012, Valve announced the August 2012 release date for their game. The developers had initially planned for CS: GO cross-play between the platforms. However, they decide to separate the platforms in favor of offering constant updates for players on PC, keeping all platforms reliable individually. Ultimately, on August 21, 2012, the game underwent a launch.

CS: GO has remained one of the most popular FPS games as an estimated 11 million players per month. The game also has an active and diverse competitive scene, hosting some of the most prominent esports tournaments. With the massive surge of battle royales into the online gaming scene, Valve introduced a CS: GO battle royale game mode known as Danger Zone in 2018.
<h2>CS:GO teams and pro players</h2>
In the United States, CS: GO is regarded as a highly popular online video game. Since the game operates on a team basis, players can join teams or create new ones.

The likes of Astralis, Natus Vincere, Mousesports, fnatic, G2 Esports, Evil Geniuses, Team Liquid, and 100 Thieves are some of the most well-known names. Others include FaZe Clan, Team Vitality, Ninja in Pyjamas, FURIA Esports, MIBR, and Cloud9, to name a few.

Of course, lots of CS:GO players like to strike out on their own, or go down the lone wolf route. Some of the best-known CS: GO eSports players are, Magisk, gla1ve, dupreeh, device, and Xyp9x. These players all play under the Astralis tag.

Natus Vincere includes the likes of, Perfecto, Boombl4, electronic, s1mple, and flamie. Meanwhile, Mousesports boasts of the likes of woxic, frozen, chrisJ, ropz, and karrigan.

Finally, fnatic includes gamers like Brolan, flusha, golden, JW, and Krimz. Other important players include GeT_RiGhT, olofmeister, Stewie2k, n0thing, Twistzz, KennyS, coldzera, and forest.

Although the competitive esports scene was hugely impacted by the worldwide pandemic in 2020, there are still a lot of competitive tournaments lined up in the coming months and even 2021. These include both S-Tier CS: GO Tournaments as well as CS: GO Major Championships.

<h2>Is it possible to play CS:GO without Steam?</h2>
