So they just don't mention Condition-Zero? :P I saw the skins in the video from it, but that was about it. I am also sort of disappointed with the coverage of Source. I agree that when it was released I didn't like it, but it grew on me a lot. I am still waiting for GO to grow on me. It hasn't happened yet.


Nice to see CSNation in the video I know this was one of my go-to sites for skins and info. Seems it still is for gaming info :)

Kind of wished rizzuh and/or Zips would be able to make a quick cameo. Even audio-only would've been nice. I mean, Counter-Strike is the only game that wasn't under Planet whatever. CS-Nation stood out because of this and was the definitive source of information on Counter-Strike. CS-Banana made a good effort, and had lots of skins to offer, but CS-Nation cherry picks them and gets us the best, alongside general news on the game.

Even Counter-Strike Radio relied on CS-Nation for their news, as has Survivor League relied on CS-Nation for promotion (those @$$holes couldn't afford decent servers, so I was disqualified for being unable to connect due to timeout, despite being on a cable connection and having no issues with any other public server; needless to say they shut down from lack of resources/sponsors to run an online prize competition).

Heck CS-Nation was my go to site for coverage on the Cyberathlete Professional League (I think CAL was also covered, but I didn't care much for that). Then there's the mailbag column with Arctic Joe. Never did find out who wrote those, but it feels kind of nice knowing my question was answered in the final mailbag (which was ironically intended to be the mailbag's revival).

Honestly, rizzuh and Zips deserve a spot in that video, if they're going to interview commentators in a brief history video. Just a 10 second audio-only cameo would suffice if video isn't an option (camera not fancy enough, or requires flight to a studio).

It was a video for an esports event (ELEAGUE Major). Former owners of a fansite wouldn't be a good fit. Though admittedly, Rizzuh would be a much better choice if that were to happen since he helped to create CSN and CS-Nation used to be a part of the actual counter-strike.net website before it split off and he is friends with Cliffe. I'm just some guy that took over because everybody else had too much of a life to stick around.

Plus I don't like esports. A number of shitty experiences with "pro" players over the years while with CS-Nation made sure of that. Bunch of so-called skilled players were the loudest most troublesome posters any time something was changed that they had to learn to adjust to.
