thank you valve for taking away CSGO and replacing it with a homogenous valorant clone! Truly blessed

[@victorzakhaev6738]

you are the worst editor

[@alcatraz_444]

​@@victorzakhaev6738true i hate how he edits, he puts reactions from players that aren't even the reactions from that game but from whole different game just to get more views and hype from non-cs players and casual fans🤡 on IG reels and YT shorts. His edits are just frauds. If u gonna make CS highlights atleast make them edits genuine. I have watched VirreCSGO for a long time but after 2021 he started to become fraud, his edits were not like these back then but he changed VitalCSGO and Snipe2DieTV are wayyy better editors, both genuine and doing it for a long time

As a major champ used to say "I'm not crying, you're crying." thank you CS1.6&CSGO for the last 17 years of play&moments (2002-2019) ❤

[@illastration1]

The Speech from the Danish Prime Minister as the music kicks in and the story of Device leaving Astralis really got to me. Whoever edited this you did a great job. Every CS fan really felt moved by that moment. This Documentary is a huge gift to the community. Thank you. There were many moving moments moments in the video but the one that endured after the video is the pain I feel for Niko not having a major. He has been a blessing to watch for CS fans for so many years. He is one of the players that showcases the beauty of the game. I want to see him get his rewards.

[@xatiizz6511]

Don't be sad that it's over, be happy that it happened

[@Noah-go8xc]

Nah I’m crying. That moment of cadian and his mom was incredibly powerful.

[@bricks_mc]

Seeing Cadian's mom run up to the desk is one of the most emotional moments I've ever seen in any sport, just so good and something I will always remember from CS:GO

Thank you CS:GO for bringing me into such an amazing community. Ill forever be in its debt.

[@patriot2224]

I've been playing and watching Counter Strike for over 10 years now. Watching so many great players and rosters come and go has been a great privilege. Getting to meet my favorite players in person, shake their hands, get their autographs, and just talk about Counter Strike with them (I was an American Cloud 9 fan) felt like an honor. The ecstasy I felt watching Cloud 9 take the Boston major was unreal. I'd been a fan of theirs's since near the team's inception. Feeling the energy of the crowd at LANs live, everyone there for the same reason. Our love for Counter Strike. Even when our favorite team was knocked out of the tournament, we still showed up and cheered because of our love for Counter Strike. Over the years, much has changed in my life, personally. Graduation, losing loved ones, gaining friends, jobs, girlfriends, hobbies, etc. However, my love for Counter Strike has been one of the few constants. I know one day I'll exit the game, and never play again for the rest of my life. It's inevitable. But the memories I've made with this incredible game and it's even more incredible community, will live in my memory as long as I do. Til death do us part. I love this game and I love you all. I always will.

Don't cry because it's over. Smile because it happened.

[@bubileft89]

Cadian and his dedication to the game and his passion is insane. So underrated as an igl and person. Legend.

[@ygaming]

Made me have a breakdown at midnight. I am gonna miss CS:GO and I wish one day I could tell this story to the next generation in the hopes that it will never be forgotten.

[@joaogomes.]

watching dev1ce made me feel so sad. as an astralis fan, it's super painful to see how things worked out after he left. astralis was never the same, the team ended up following separate ways, and it was never the same anymore. the thing is, astralis was still the best team in 2020, sure they weren't as dominant, but still a great team. and now that they are all in different projects, we will never get the chance to know if they were actually done winning. it also makes you reflect on how dev1ce probably felt when he went through those dark times at nip. to understand he could've stayed, or even moved to an exciting project, like g2 or faze, but he went to nip so that he would avoid traveling and so that he could live with the person he loved and to be betrayed with his best friend as well, while realizing he wouldn't be able to be at the top the same way he was before must have crushed him. i hope he finds success one more time in cs2, my goat and idol.

[@mr.gtasans9676]

Really sad when he said that he'd wish he never left 😢❤

1:07:15 Being one of the rare fans to have had a long conversation with Casper's mom, I can really tell that she is the sweet person that he describes. She fully supports her son to an extend that not many parents would do Truly the mom that everyone would dream of

[@bloodstain2004]

I remember Twistzz, jks, rain, ropz and broky. EliGe with his sprays, cadiaN's clutches and nitr0's leadership. This game made us men cry in happiness.
