In this video I try to cover multiple topics within a CS:GO (Counter-Strike: Global Offensive) Iceberg. Iceberg charts consist of multiple topics ranging from well known to obscure. The topics I talk about in this video include: Olofboost, Dangerzone, Source 2, rip cbble & aztec, word.exe, Gambling scandal, Whats greens problem, Bunnyhopping, Overwatch, r8 update, Coaching bans, m4a4 howl, IBP matchfixing, KQLY, Cut weapons, de_train bird boost, chiken, Impossible achievements, snowy cs_militia, Overpass nightclub, shot 1-5: clearly missed, Classic Offensive, Galil with scope, de_dust2's wood doors, csgo 3D edits, Secret cbble & canals symbol, de_inferno's monitor easter egg, bully hunters, region censorship, bingelibangable, CSGO speedrunning, hr_overpass, bots are valve employees, Illegal skins, c4 remake

[@goldecc]

*I wanted to address some concerns that have been raised about this iceberg video* I've been reading the comments, and it sounds like some of you didn't feel like I did a great job explaining things. I'm sorry about that - I'm always looking for ways to improve, and I take your feedback seriously. For my newest iceberg, I did a lot more research to make sure I'm getting everything right. Unfortunately, I can't go back and change the old video, but I want you to know that I'm listening and learning. I'm sorry if some information was unclear or if some entries didn't get the attention they deserved. My goal is always to do better with each video, and I hope I can make up for it in the future. Thanks for your understanding!

[@Reichstaubenminister]

Oh don't worry man, this is still pretty great!

[@Bored__AF]

Bots are employees does mean that their names are names of some employees. There is literally BOT Gabe, BOT Minh which are easy to connect. Illegal skins means duped skins. People used to trade skins, claim they're scammed, steam support gives them perfect copy of it back, and you end up with 2 same skins. People have done that mostly with howls and dragon lores.

[@eddidog7023]

If you want some feedback, I suggest talking to some people in scene next time!

[@odstat1949]

It's cool. And even if you feel you didn't do good on this, you could always remake this sometime later with more experience.

[@elmochipshop]

Don’t worry about those morons, You’re doing great 👍

[@Rimanc.]

“I don’t think valve has time to port it to source 2” man that aged well 😂

[@chopshops]

like a fine wine

[@roughtimeroach]

@@chopshops Fiiiiiiinnnneeeee wiiiiiiinnnneeee

[@synt.3760]

Coming this summer.

[@ironbonk11]

spoiled milk

[@Fishygamer16]

Lmao

[@TheJeffMan01]

For the bot names one, they are named after valve employees and CSGO creators. For example: Bot Gabe, referring to Gabe Newell. Bot Cliffe and Bot Minh, referring to the creators of CSGO, Jess Cliffe and Minh Lee. Bot Dave, referring to David Johnson, the creator of Dust, Dust 2, and Cobble. There are a few more too

[@uPilot]

yeah

[@mb_ammaces]

i was JUST about to comment this lol

[@uPilot]

@@mb_ammaces lol same

[@twilightenvoy2280]

Creator of CS*

[@coldgamer5631]

Also I'm pretty sure bots difficulties are set with their name. For example the Bot Gabe will always be on hardest difficulty

[@finnyjam8252]

While KQLY did cheat back then, the jumpshot is not statistically impossible and wouldn't be too hard for someone to pull off if they've practiced it. 3kliks has a great video on it

[@xlgapelsin6173]

Im pretty sure he did not cheat when he hit that shot

[@gulikaontop]

pretty sure he didnt cheat in pro play

[@TORTLESSS]

s1mple perfected it at one point, he kept describing the timing on his stream

[@gaddy555]

the coaching bug was described quite poorly, for anyone wondering. For online matches a lot of coaches got a bug where their spectator camera got stuck in a position that wasn't intended for them to see (for example in the middle of mirage where they could get a view of the entirety of the mid area for the rest of the game) the coaches didnt report the bug to valve and some abused it the ones that abused it to give information they shouldnt have to their players got hit with bans depending on the severity of the abuse. i hope that makes sense :)

[@XanderNiles]

Man, I remember all of those topics. Like Tmartn and ProSyndicate gambling scandal, I "throw" power match fixing and of course...how could I forget about bully hunters. 2014-2018 CSGO was wild. Totally a different era in comparison to what it is today.

[@boyller8964]

the "bots are employees" thing is definitely just about the names. i think there's bot gaben and a few other ones

[@nekrokodylREAL]

Yeah every bot name is a real valve employee name

[@mubii69]

2:03 “I don’t think Valve has time to port CSGO to source 2” Really?😂😂

[@Sikk2]

Illegal skins could either be duplicated skins or smt like the R8 from those super old cases (like Sparkles and HeyZeus unboxed)

[@AverageComet250]

Also skins accidentally duped by Russian steam support from people faking scams

[@snareplug3872]

@@AverageComet250 he already said duplicated skins, duped is short for it

[@InvagPrune]

Yeah apart from those there are a few 'illegal/impossible' 1 of 1 skins, the nostar karambit is a famous example that isn't technically a dupe. I can also think of float values that should be impossible on some skins

[@ichtozavuzovsky8370]

Doodle Lore

[@AverageComet250]

@@ichtozavuzovsky8370 they all got replaced non exist now.

[@kalindimitrov6937]

Nice video! Btw region censorship could be used in the game back in the days by typing a command in the launch settings which removed ragdolls and replaced death animations with a surrendering one. I also remember that it was forced in Germany.

[@shadowasii4492]

I think it also could refer to the Chinese versions of some skins where the skeleton is replaced

[@juanmanuel7305]

Was thinking the same since is an old cs go meme, fucking germs

[@hexa7730]

2:20 thats like the worst description of overwatch anti cheat,basically information about each case gets used to train a neural net

[@kachelstacktus]

While the overwatch and anti cheat description was off, overwatch also isn't just used for the machine learning dataset. People convicted in OW do get permanently banned. So it is actually a big part of the anti cheat. VacNet is only used to collect the cases for overwatch. Then it get feedback from the decisions on the cases it submits. It doesn't actually ban people itself. VAC does ban people, but only based on cheats found running on the pc, not on player behaviour.

[@zy2359]

He also explained the coaching ban wrong (also coaches weren’t banned from tournaments) and KQLY wasn’t cheating in that clip. He really needs to get his facts straight for these types of videos.

[@saviogustavi]

2:03 "i dont think valve has the time for that" aged very badly

[@JuliusCheeser223]

The region censoring probably also refers to how the German version of CSGO had the enemies surrender instead of ragdolling. I can't remember if it's still a thing or not but I know the HECU in HL1 for Germany are robots and not humans

[@wibs0n68]

You could enable this feature back then with -lv

[@DaGhost141]

chiken was legendary, there was a bug where you could join ANY lobby and he joined pros lobbies, at one point even in a LAN tournament

[@noahmoore1756]

9:52 may also be referring to how countries like Germany remove a lot or all of the violence/blood during gameplay. After killing an enemy, rather than them dying and falling to the ground, it'll play an animation of them surrendering and putting their hands up then lying on the ground.

[@nikoo2]

no lol

[@rafdigitalized]

thats what i also thought

[@jhh1451]

Germany doesnt do that lol

[@InvagPrune]

Germany used to enforce this but they updated their law on video game censorship (some violent content is allowed now) and valve removed it from the game

[@kachelstacktus]

@@InvagPrune I had heard about the low violence option, but didn't know this was a German thing. I had assumed region censorship reffered to the censored skulls on skins in china.

[@Alek0912]

2:08 that shit aged like milk

[@leem420]

11:20 bots are named after valve employees and csgo devs.

[@putumban7738]

5:25 I'm pretty sure KQLY just hit that shot normally, since jumping shots and the accuracy during the air time are server sided. (Doesn't mean he didn't cheat on other occasions, he is VAC banned after all)

[@marius8696]

I agree with this. I think it’s a really lucky clip that’s undermined by all the other cheating stuff he’s done

[@scarfaceone9005]

Yeah, I mean 3kliksphilip did a test back then and found out that it was indeed very lucky shot, but not as unlikely as one might think.

[@gaddy555]

as far as i've ever understood all he ever admitted to was cheating in matchmaking this was a LAN tournament where there was practically no way of him cheating

[@boostbanause]

I love how you said source 2 will probably never happen, as we all thought, yet here we are, three weeks later, and its pretty much confirmed it will happen.

[@eljestLiv]

The logo on Canals and Cbble is from the mapmaker Iikka Keränen. The same symbol can be found on the TF2 map Badlands

[@n1cobourbaki]

The illegal skins refer to skins that are “broken”. There’s a karambit that has a wear rating of 0 and no pattern, meaning it’s flawless but boring. Stuff like that. The 3d edits were often done in unreal engine

[@kapiko9608]

And also no star in the name

[@SoylentGamer]

I love those CSGO 3D edits, I know the ins and outs of Blender, so figuring out how they do it has been pretty cool for me. Learning Blender is almost like learning a separate game engine.

[@Viroh]

Based

[@despedgame]

with regional censorship, it refers to the fact that in Perfect World (the chinese csgo) there are many details in maps changed or straight up removed (Soviet Union references on de_cache and de_train, some arabic spelling in mirage and dust2...) and also the blood decals are black instead of regular red.

[@OneFishyGuy]

The illegal skins refers to skins that have been removed from the game and are no longer obtainable through normal methods, the Howl is one of the skins, but there's been other skins that get removed for plagiarism or art theft that become valuable because they're removed from the game or changed

[@tiertwokid7920]

Very underrated video!

[@konradkubera4224]

I will still watch it because I love icebergs but just by looking at it I understood how many time I spend in this game because I know almost everything here XD Being a valvefag is kind of obsession at this point.

[@arch_wyd]

Man nice videos dude. Keep up the grind

[@that1guy-fp9bz]

“I don’t think valve has the time to port it to source 2”

[@Star0gaze]

4:25 Not alot of people pointing out how nasty that no-scope through the smoke shot was

[@could951]

2:10 epic foreshadowing

[@eddie67365]

awesome video dude! Keep up the great work!

[@vaLywellFGC]

7:46 this was not just a texture change, they replaced the objects. The wood door did more damage on wallbang, cuz it was, well, wood. They replaced with the metal objects which do less damage on wallbang

[@Autumn6485]

i think at 6:55 the song playing is “the part where he kills you” from portal 2

[@jarydjackson8531]

The cs classic mod is so much fun, you seem young so you probably don't remember 1.6 but it's basically what 1.6 would be like on the modern version of source it's so cool

[@StarryNightLover]

Waiting for the bottom of the iceberg. Really great video btw.

[@uPilot]

2:00 "I don't think valve has the time for that nor the care" less than a month later: SOURCE 2

[@Gabriel_lfm]

illegal skins are probably duplicated skins from some point around 2014-2015 i believe, a lot of rare items such as Dlores and crimson web karambites or such were duplicated with a glitch.

[@jakethomas1279]

The Gambling scandal could also have been PhantomLords huge scandal

[@txripzy4694]

love the editing

[@koopalad4]

For the region censorship, in Germany at one point when you got a kill the enemy player model would « surrender », put his hands on his head and lay on the floor, instead of dying

[@The13thRonin]

The ULTIMATE CS:GO Iceberg Explained: Half the entries: "Yeah... I have no idea what this is." A+ Very much worth everyone's time.

[@zadoriga]

So amazing ur videos are so good:>

[@wm1573]

Source2 part aged badly lol. But it’s been known for years that they have been working on it

[@goldecc]

Lmao yeah I was thinking that as well

[@bigjarth]

hearing the battleblock theater music at 3:10 made me incredibly happy

[@277-]

nice video .. there is alot of things i wasn’t know before and after this video.. like what is this chicken in pro lobby?

[@barnabashanko1806]

The music that plays at the door in overpass is actually the song used in chapter 9 of portal 2

[@dankyss]

amazing song at 6:37

[@liekie9973]

Great video dude!

[@toffsplace]

The best part about overpass nightclub is that the song is "The part where he kills you" from portal 2 :)

[@CptDoot]

0:00 YOOO THAT DEAG SPIN WAS SICK THO

[@-heal4ever-]

its a rare inspect animation

[@063sumy]

Holy shit the chiken epidemi was crazy, it was hard to play games because everytime you had a lobby players / trollers with the name chiken would join

[@ElvisFreshly]

The r8 update was the most chaotic update of any video I’ve ever been apart of 😂

[@Thefrogbread]

I fricking love cobble. Flanking with the p90 is awesome

[@MrGrimm-gy1mu]

The IDF vs The Arabian Resistance theory gives Dust 2 a whole new vibe ngl. I will always chose the Leet Crew from now on

[@nicholastaylor6185]

Illegal skins could probably also be referring to duplicated skins

[@DongLick]

8:37 - there is a similar style sign in the Doom 2016 game, Vega core level - you can use trainers to get into the core itself and there would be X or * but also bright white

[@Y10HK29]

11:14 it means that sometimes some of the bots names are the names of the csgo developers like Bot Minh and Bot Gabe

[@JackoBanon1]

'The game is older than most of its playerbase, you know I'm right' Okay, thanks, now I feel old.

[@buzielo3749]

csgo speedrunning probably refers to speedrunning custom community maps that begin with bhop_, mg_, surf_ etc.

[@wmtch]

This iceberg was made by a guy from the csgo speedrun discord, kinda cool seeing it reviewed here

[@estonia__]

really cool video :D make a nother one plaese

[@dziugas2256]

Man a lot of stuff brings back good memories like chiken

[@raggmunk889]

6:22 you can download the cut maps. I searched for how to complete them and a yt video with tutorial popped up.

[@qecd9254]

Illegal skins are thing like bugged vanilla karambit (without star in its name) or r8 souvenir dropped from package that dates before its release

[@ronk3248]

very well made video. god job mister.

[@lazurus222]

6:50 they made the nightclub music loud ASF in cs2

[@CptSeal]

8:42 I actually got this one in a round of deathmatch inferno, it was really neat to see

[@3guysunlimitedgamingmje136]

chiken was actually a day where the random user chiken seen in the photo would join your lobby and prevent you from queueing i remember chiken in my lobby

[@andsay92]

7:15 he is actually and legitimately right about this. this is an undeserved meme

[@xSintex]

Yeah its kind of funny that this clown thinks hiko "deserved the kill". To be honest most of this video from his side is bullshit.

[@jadecain6943]

havent played in years but cant believe aztec is gone i have many fond memories on there

[@Iongjump]

10:45 may refer to mods such as kz, bhop and surf

[@PixelBestGanker]

What’s the audio you’re using when you transition to another entry? That violin harp thing

[@alexanderchippel]

The bully Hunter thing is a lot funnier than you made it out to be. The group was entirely made out of female esports players, many of which who have never played Counter-Strike before, and whenever they joined the game they ended up getting killed repeatedly without being able to get the target. The entire point of killing someone until they rage quit doesn't work when you're incapable of actually killing them. And on top of that they apparently raised a bunch of money which the event organizers just stole. And what's really funny is that this is actually inspired by a story from years prior. I don't know if it was Warcraft or some other MMO but in South Korea there was this kid who is obsessed with some game and his father wanted him to get a job, so the dad went and paid a bunch of guys to constantly attack him in game.

[@ChickenBuckett]

Awesome sauce!

[@siim1129]

Missed opportunity to play phoon song while bhop part.

[@277-]

region censorship..i think its about open cases is not allowed in some countries because it's gambling.. and ragdoll physics replace with surrender animation.

[@galgen6715]

Valve employees are bots may mean that what people call “bots” basically bad people are valve employees intentionally being bad for new players.

[@Gamer-hl2qc]

You have phenomenal taste in music

[@l1ghtninga]

Once I sat in danger zone queue for 40 minutes. Didn’t even get in lmao

[@uPilot]

make the next half please!

[@D.B.Markinovic]

bots are valve employees : named after the employees. bot Gabe for example is named after Gaben

[@Fafa_Sauce]

2:37 you get to be a part of overwatch after reaching gold nova 1 or higher in csgo's rank system, it gets taken away from you if you lose the rank by any means at all including if you let your rank expire after a month of not playing competitive mp.

[@kachelstacktus]

That's not the only requirement. You also need 350+hours in the game and 150 competitive wins. That being said the gold nova requirement is the only reason one might loose access to it.

[@RadJordy]

11:30 I like this one. It's kinda funny to think about. I've played a lot of bot matches and its wholesome to think that I was playing with a bunch of valve employees on a lunch break or something. I dunno, maybe that's lame to say but idc.

[@keykicker4]

7:50 omg i saw that meme back in the day i was looking to find it rip woodn double doors

[@seventwentyseven]

the valve employee bot one does indeed refer to the bot names, i know that BOT Vitaliy (awp bot) has the name bc the dev Vitaliy liked using the awp

[@Raphael-co5vq]

The illegal skin entry is talking about skins like the r8 souvenirs or the no star karambit

[@eupi9098]

Pro tip about those achievements, cheaters that have shitty hacks will usually just mindlessly give themselves all the achievements by default. So if someone is new but has all achievements they are cheating. Additionally if someone is a bit suspect ,but they have all achievements they are very likely cheating

[@szyl]

3:16 if only, RIP cobbl

[@MattKismet]

For perfect world, I forget the actual meaning so I may be wrong but skulls are seen as unlucky in china. So I don’t think they’re banned as many people say, but heavily frowned upon to where people may avoid it

[@michipe6712]

4:26 the usp orion is also contraband

[@josefreitas6824]

The first time i saw the cs1.6 on the inferno computer was on my birthday. I wonder if that has/ can have anything to do with it?

[@bah.961]

What is the guitar music he used between the iceberg transitions and the outro? I heard it before, but I don’t know the name.

[@gamering149]

i believe region censorship refers to the german version of cs where if you shoot someone in the head with a desert eagle instead of dying they just calmly surrender and kneel

[@missionjr]

11:15 "Bots are valve employes" refers to the bot's names being from Valve employes.

[@marsus4081]

illegal skins hint at a vanilla karambit that was given to a player from steam support and it had the sideeffect of having no float.

[@o2brixb]

I used to play aztec alot and i miss it

[@passsingtime]

You should make a video on Dangerzone
