We take a look at ten interesting facts about Counter-Strike you probably didn’t know about.

Counter-Strike: Global Offensive is one of the most competitive online games currently being played on the PC. Most people know that CS:GO is the latest iteration of Counter-Strike, which began as a mod for the original Half-Life well over a decade ago.

The history of the series is as colorful as the community that surrounds it, so in this video we decided to tackle some very obscure facts about Counter-Strike because we think it’s just too interesting a subject to not talk about.
