Hi guys. I've been a Counter Strike player since the 1.6 days, and it's gone steadily over all these years. When CS:GO came out I duly bought a copy, played a few hours and then, due to life, shelved it.

December 2020 was a bit of a tough month, my very pregnant wife had to take a very sick kid to hospital in the middle of the COVID pandemic to see why he keeps getting bouts of "struggling to breathe" and it was a logistical and financial nightmare. Because of that, during that week, I was looking for some "time out" and decided to pick up CS:GO again, simply because I was looking for the distraction.

A very emotional and completely tired me took up the game with around 300 hours on my profile. I played during that time, and a few times after that, to finally get myself a rank (I've never played Competitive before then), and I recently started making video clips of my gameplay. I don't play a lot, but often when we're sitting in mandatory meetings where I don't participate (but still have to sit in) I'll fire up CS:GO and play a few minutes here and there.

I installed my mouse's software (Steelseries) and it came with a clip capturing tool, which I first used to create a super long CS:GO montage of my first gameplay, but realized quickly that shorts are more fun, and I believe will attract more viewers.

Which brings me to here. I'm asking if anyone's interested, please take a look, let me know what you think and if you want, subscribe! I don't spam, I don't post BS and what you see is what you get.

As a PS, I'm NOT very good and I'm learning as I go along. I got my first rank a few months back as a Gold Nova Master, which changed to MG1 not too long ago before being upped to MG2 a month or so ago, on my 16th Competitive win. I've got around 600 hours on my profile now, so don't expect Pro Plays!

Anyway, link to the playlist I'm currently pushing the shorts to is here. Enjoy!

 
Off topic, you got me into home brewing last year. So I watched this video:


Here is a photo of the last one I did:



Next stop: experimenting with dry-hopping.
 
No rank on CS so far, (was nova 2, but they took it because I dont play enough comps...so need to win 1 more again.)but I enjoy a game or 10. I am quite a bit slower than the 1.6 days, mostly get killed continiously, but having a lot fun.
 
Only waiting until I show up in one of your videos Tox. And what is this about not being very good? If I recall you are amazing in the casuals we play. But ja Subscribe to this man he has some great video clips on his channel!

Thing is I only post impressive or funny kills. Every time I whack you, it's plain. Like shooting a bot.

EDIT: I'm kidding JJ kicks my ass all day long.

that laugh at the end XD

Dam this thread is making me want to start up CS:GO again. I played also from 1.6 days and clocked in quite a number of hours and only played comp in CS:GO ... everything changed, I had no idea what a huge chunk I had been missing.
 
I have no idea who you are in game tho?

EDIT: Oh yes and I only have like two StatTrack guns - the two noob cannons :D
 
I play 99% casual :D
Me too. And I do leave lobbies where the guys just swear and moan and groan the whole time. Should be fun.
All my guns are Stat tracked. Being a few 10 years etc older than most of the players, I need PROOF of how many kills I have. :)
Don,t even know what a Noob cannon is.
 
Noobcannon is what they call the auto snipers on both teams. The CT one is better.
 
That game also shot me up to MGE, by the way. Pretty chuffed. My ranking through Competitive Wins now goes like this:

Win #10: Gold Nova Master
Win #12: Master Guardian 1
Win #14: Master Guardian 2
Win #17: Master Guardian Elite

Guess I'll be Global Elite soon :p
 


And a nice Deagle 2K in Inferno Apps:
 
Fiiiiiine. Here we go. Some recent highlights:




 
And some funky AWPs on Inferno. Last one got me called a hacker, actually:
