CS:GO was never meant to become as big as it did. It was the last gasp of a dying franchise filled with cheaters and built on a broken, outdated engine and yet it became the most important and enduring shooter in the history of modern esports. So in this documentary, we will celebrate and take one final, nostalgic look back at its most iconic moments.

Thank you to everyone for coming to the premiere and interacting with us in chat/leaving such great comments. This project meant a lot to our team and it was a lot of fun to walk down memory lane with you all. We've added chapters to the description for those that wish to skip around/revisit the video.
Thanks again for all the support! 🙌
Goats 🐐
Glad to bhop down memory lane with you all
no word.exe?
edit: there was a word.exe
Where is navi vs ence??
you guy's need to do a video like this but for league of legends.
One thing this video really demonstrates is how phenomenal the casters are in CS. Hard to imagine a video this good being made for most esports because the hype plays don't always have hype commentary.
Some of these commentaries I can recite word for word just because of the emotion and impact they have. Casters are a huge part of hyping the crowd while also providing feedback of what's happening on the game. I've watched Valorant esports, and I'm just disappointed at how quiet the casters are for huge opening or kills.
100%. I don't follow a lot of others esports games but I think CS has the best casters in the world.
I know right??? As a NAVI fan, until today, I can still remember word by word, as "Twistzz breaks NAVI's backs"
I think the only other game that has great casters (or did when I used to watch) is rocket league. The great plays and hype moments always had great casting along with it.
r6 has some goated casters too@@ZorlicX
Spoiler Blocker
We all love and appreciate you
I heart you
How would these things be a spoiler though?
PIN THIS GUY!! @theScoreesports
You are the goat
I can't even comprehend how I watched an hour-and-a-half video without ever looking at the clock. Respect for the production, it was a joy to watch!
Thank you, a lot of care and effort into the telling of these stories by the team, so reading comments like yours make it all worth it 🙏
I thought the same thing and I dont even play csgo
Couldn't agree more!
wait,this video is 1h and a half long? i did not even noticed it ,was way too into it LOL
I didn't even realize it was an hour and a half. Legit felt like 25 minutes. I realized when I read your comment lmao
At 40, I've spent thousands of hours enjoying Counter-Strike since 2001, even playing professionally from 2005-2008 alongside Belgium's finest. I took a break just before the CS:GO era but have recently reconnected with the game through my two young sons, now delving into CS2. As a father, coaching them has been a way to relive my prime years.
Counter-Strike remains an unparalleled game to me. Its beauty lies in its simplicity - no fanciful characters or surreal elements, just a straightforward battle of wits and skills, with two teams and a C4. It's a testament to the timeless appeal of Counter-Strike's gameplay. Watching 'The Most ICONIC Moments in CS:GO History' documentary, I’m filled with excitement for the future of this phenomenal game. Here's to many more years of enjoying Counter-Strike!
what is your favorite cs ?
Fuck yea dude. I'm 34 now and this is a comment I can appreciate and respect 🙏
You could be a writer mate, well put
Fantastic selection of moments, this genuinely felt like a love letter to competitive CSGO.
Thank you, glad you enjoyed it. The project meant a lot to our team and we are happy we got to finally share it with you guys 🙌
because it was indeed a love letter, csgo is forever in our hearts man.
"The shepherd's staff takes down the goat" is an iconic line.
Sado has the most iconic calls for me, not even close
@@SonderEpoch i didnt say calls. I said line. The happy call is the most iconic for sado for me.
Even tho I didn’t really grow up with CsGo, I’ve seen some of these iconic moments like the jumping Awp, or my favorite one which is the “you’re about to make the biggest play of your career” something like that. What a video
It’s AWP I can tell you’re a young Valo kid, the reason they named it OP is because of the significance of the AWP in CS
@@imgizmo4706the jumping original poster. reddit guy doing jumping jacks
@@imgizmo4706 yeah forgot to spell it like that, but still you get what I was saying.
cadian's 1v4 is definitely a good favorite. Watching the stream as the casters jokingly predicted it was insane
A JUMPING DOUBLE 🤯 FROM COLD 🥶 WHAT IS GOING ON RIGHT HOW DOES HE DO THIS!
Unthinkable scenes there on the B appartements 🗣🗣🗣
Watched it live. Liquid was on their way to win the match, and cold single handedly stopped their momentum. It was insane to watch how liquid was lost after that round.
that was the beginning of the sickest comeback in CSGO
This video moves your soul as a csgo player. All these moments whether you were a fan of the winners, or the losers. They are so iconic you just sit here with awe. It is amazingly well done. I am gonna miss csgo, it was huge part of my life and I am really sad they won't make it, it's own game like other cs's...
For someone like me who discovered CS recently, that might be one of the best videos that I’ve ever watched on TH-cam !
Great job guys !
As someone who has played CS since 2003, I can tell you that it has been a lifetime of amazing things to watch. Love this game.
Im in tears
Guys, seriously, it's one of the best videos ever.
You have done CSGO justice with this. The emotions and events during this video, the commentary and casting, were phenomenal.
And I almost cried at the end.
This was well done.
Thank you, the Score esport.
You guys have really outdone yourself with this one, kudos to everyone involved in making this, and specifically Dimitri for his excellent story telling as always!
No ence kato 2019 is crazy. All the plays, the story and of course the memes. The footprint ence's major run made is simply iconic.
and furias run in rio, especially the match against navi. deserved a shout.
I was expecting failed s1mple 1v4 clutch to be honest. That was heartbreaking
I never realized that in the 4 awps play, out of 5 members of fnatic the only one not wielding an awp is their fricking awper, JW. It was probably spawn-based since we see him rushing B but still, it makes the clip even more BM.
The Happy Deagle Ace is the greatest counter strike clip I've ever had the pleasure of watching. Watched it live as a high schooler. Burned into my memory. Every other play required some form of RNG, Happy just pure skill.
I remember actually betting that match on csgolounge. I bet on envy and that play made my night haha. 16 yo and betting is not a good combo but that night i felt on top of the world
Actually that one required more luck than any other play. TSM just ran into him one by one
If we’re talking pure skill, chrisJ’s AWP play is better. Happy’s deag ace is my favourite though because I watched it live
Watched all this moments for 100s of times but watching them again with fkin god-level documentary is insane. Couldn't even got to know how a hour plus video seems short. God level production
Expected a typical compilation but was pleasantly suprised to see so much more work put into the video, amazing job!
Excellent documentary guys. So much nostalgia in one video. Thank you.
What I learned from this: bring back MR30. The comeback ability and iconic moments created by the longer matches will be forever lost on the new format of shorter matches.
We all know Forsaken is the play of the century in Global Offensive
Honestly the thing that makes these plays iconic isn't only in the execution but also the hype commentary.
Absolutely insane, I grew up watching these moments and it’s like I relived them again. Gonna save this video and show to my kids in the future, when they are going to ask what was counter strike. Time capsule and a masterpiece
What wasn't said in the 9hp Zywoo Ace is that Zywoo took a speed nap between matches right before the ace, this was possible because Vitality was trying a 6 man roster at the moment, trying what Astralis started doing because some of its players were burnout and took a break.
43:36 I love how polite the fnatic kid’s celebration was, pogchamp and then gets out of the way.
Really loved this one, CSGO was such a magical part of my life and I get chills watching some of these clips again.
Thanks everyone who worked to put this together
"oh guardian bye bye" is my favorite line of all time. I mean i was already standing on my chair at that point and then the casting just took that play out of the stratosphere.
Experiencing those iconic moments firsthand can be a truly unforgettable experience. The production team deserves a huge round of applause for creating such an incredible video, and we should all take a moment to thank CS:GO for providing us with such wonderful memories. Let's cherish these moments of joy and excitement and hold them close to our hearts.
AWESOME VIDEO! Thanks a lot! You made an old man cry in Joy and beloved memories!
Thank you for watching and supporting our content, glad you enjoyed the video :)
What an emotional rolldercoaster this was. Amazing video and by far my favorite from you guys so far! Incredible work by the entire team
The Cadian 1v4 clutch still gives me shivers, everything lined up so perfectly I’ll never forget it
Sharing this with as many people as I can. This video is phenomenally made, great job guys! 💛
I think what separates ChrisJ's ace apart from the arguably more iconic jumping and falling awps of Cold and Simple is just how much of the result is purely from his positioning, awareness & skill, whereas the other two as far more dramatic random chances of no-scopes and collateral
Agree 100%
Agree. I think chrisJ’s play is the most skilful CSGO play of all time, but not the most iconic
Really great production. Well edited, contextualised highlights like this are more common in older sports, it's cool to see folks in this space experimenting with that.
Nailing the fact that "iconic" moments are not always the most skill expressive. Sometimes something almost entirely random, at the right time and the right place can be so much more iconic.
Gambit and Zeus story is for me the most iconic ever. Everything about this was out of this world.
P.S. Great content. Thank you for the effort and the quality guys! Awesome job! Cheers to everyone involved.
This video reminded me of this channels first videos where you guys covered old esports moments and gave more insight into them. I appreciate it
watched it all, and loved every second of it!! great video
crazy good video, thank you for letting us relive the greatest moments of this forever lost game that we loved for over a decade
Amazing job on this video/documentary! Time flew by quickly, and oh my the emotions. CS:GO forever in our hearts
Great selection of moments, this is such a nice trip down memory lane
To be fair, they waited a minute before playing the Olof clip or the Coldzera clip. That's character development.
having watched the cadian clutch live i have to say I think that is such an incredible casting-gameplay combination we will never see again.
That feeling when you know every single moment of these. So much good memories with cs go.
the higlight reel at the beginning gave me goose bumps like nothing ever did
"9.9/10" that 0.1 reserved for that major
fell in love with cs when my friend brought me to the boston major event, fell in love instantly, and got my first genuine. crazy how far our favorite game has come.
What an incredible video. Brings back so many memories, and to think the only reason I ever played CS:GO was because a friend gifted it to me. Who knew that 12+ years later we would still be enjoying the game we have all come to know as the greatest fps esport ever. Sitting with my friends, watching C9 win the only Major for NA. Peak love and enjoyment for the game. Amazing video guys, thanks for the memories.
31:02 all this work and they said $800 for a deagle 💀
Hahaha
the deagle was $800 pre-December 2014, and this play by Happy was done in a tournament somewhere in 2015, it's an obvious mistake, they probably thought the deagle still cost $800 at the time
Man this video had so much nostalgia for me. I remember I couldn't go to school because I was sick and saw that a CS:GO tournament was happening. I watched the Olofmeister boost happen live. Glad that Counter-Strike has been a part of my life for over 10 years now.
I have never played most of the games you guys talk about.. but I watch almost all of your videos because they are just always so damn good. Look forward to watching this on my next few smoke breaks. ❤
the video was definitely worth the wait, insane quality and production
from cs source to 1.6 to csgo and now cs2, i can for sure say i’m glad that i play this game
I was an avid Immortals supporter during Krakow 2017. Both teams had amazing runs to GF as underdogs. Watching that last map on Inferno, Gambit were just amazing and it was a sweet moment because Zeus really deserved it.
this will be a video i return to for years to come im sure. thanks theScore for introducing me to CS almost half a decade ago now and thanks to CS:GO for all the memories ;)
amazing video, and the proper send off and tribute we needed to Global Offensive.. so many memories and so many legendary moments. Well done
Honestly what an amazing and well put together video. Amazing work!
This video was a lot better than I thought it would be. From the promotion leading up to it I thought it was just going to be those guys sitting around a table talking about each play.
Man what a nostalgic video 😢❤
1 HOUR IS INSANE! Keep up the amazing work as always!
This wonderful video is an outstanding return to peak form for this amazing channel. Kudos!
Amazing video...
I mean, all those tournaments, players, and community, all of the stories and people in these few decades make this game so different from others
this video can make me felt that the game is pacing forward with us. When we look back, it's just stunning and astonishing...
Poor Adren. I've noticed that he was on the opposing sides for a lot of these insane clips.
the amount of goosebumps and nostalgia is insane, am in literal tears
I watched it all, thank you no one did a video like this so well !!!!
Wow this was incredible. As someone who started watching CS in the last year or so, watching this rich history in such a captivating way really made me fall in love with the game even more.
What a great video. Really brought me back. Cheaters Really took something sacred from us. RIP
im sorry
Mf acts like cs2 is a dead game 😂😂

I’ve been waiting for this for all week. Thank you, all CSGO/CS2 players love you.
I love your videos.. There is something about esports commentating already that gets me so hypee.. When you throw some music behind that and sheeeeeeeesh. Great job keep them coming!
Such a great vid
Peak CS moments, really unforgetable. I remember watching some of this before and after a class when I was in college. My God me and some of my friends were cheering and shouting in the hallway of the campus. Good times.
Nice video, edit, everything. Congrats!
Imo olofboost is the genius “grey zone” of the rules. If the rules aint clear and you use it to your advantage it’s not cheating, it’s being smart
Watching some of these moments live ! The casting, the unthinkable plays, the highs , the lows!! ....the Nostalgia ❣
Truly a masterpiece. Thank you
An absolutely brilliant video. Amazing work to everyone that helped make this.
Great production, great video, watched the entire thing without hestitation.
Good to see yall making actual effort videos. Keep it up
A beautiful and masterfully made tribute to a game that defined a generation. Thank you for the countless hours of entretainment and the tribute to the legends that inspired us.
the krakow 2017 major will forever be one of my absolute favourites. watching the hole zeus being kicked and then leading gambit with sheer force of will to a major victory live was one of the best times watching pro cs for me
Thank you for this great video! Much love to the score eSports team❤
Witnessed this all :) Great compilation!
This genuinely plays out like a BBC World Cup or euros documentary. Well done guys. Especially whoever edited this. Super good.
A truly special game, given a proper history for all the young players to see and know the history of the game we all love so much, well done guys.
That look from Pasha at the end. Oof 😢 just want to hug the man.
Didn't really knew CS:GO back then (bcs potato device & internet i had when i was younger) currently on valorant & their esports
But through this channel, i really got to know how amazing CS:GO, their esport, the players, and community, it's beautiful to see
Not just this one tho, every other ones that theScore makes is honestly amazing (loved the astralis one for example)
IMAGINE WATCHING THE WHOLE VIDEO, SMILLING TILL ALMOST SHEDDING A TEAR FOR A GAME I DIDN'T EVEN PLAYED. Truly shows that e-sports brings everyone together & a well made video can always tell amazing stories to just about anyone. THANK YOU
What a production! Thank to you guys I was able to relive my teenage days hyping / watching / trying things the pros do. What can I say, it's good ol' days
Best CS commentary ever @ 1:06:15
"... he's already got three, and four, and five, and si ... OH MY GOD I DIDN'T SAY SIX, YOU CAN'T PROVE THAT I SAID SIX!"
Awesome vid, having shorts every few days to draw ppl in and hype up this video was a great idea
I haven't really watched any eSports since... before COVID, like 2016. Simply lost interest in it. So when I came back to League of Legends of all games, I was shocked by how... structured? and artificial, sterile even, the eSports events felt like. Immense production value, gigantic crowds... but all of it felt wrong. Boring. Same-ish. And not to insult anyone but even the players and casters themselves felt corporate.
So watching this video, including moments from after I stopped following the scene, I finally knew why I felt like that. CS:GO was just different. The crowd is wild. The players are actual humans. The casters don't hold back. It's all so goddamn authentic - and I love it for that. I really hope that never changes.
I'm just one if those dudes who have never played csgo but watches ut for the crowd because of a bad system, I don't even know these moments yet it feels great to watch them. Good job scoreesports 🔥
Seeing that the cadiaN clutch was in 2021 really reminds me how time flies..
3 years already since that play happened and it still feels like he did that yesterday
i love the video, just expected to see the actual debate around the table before the clips roll. thumbs up for me guys!
sick sick sick video! Amazing job to everybody involved!
Outro Song
Always and Forever - Yannick Kalfayan .
Thank you CS:GO 🥲
Fell in love with eSports since I watched how the C9 won the Boston 2018 Major and it is one the best inspirations why I am competing in esports right now. Hopefully I'll get to experience that one day as well.
What an absolutely incredible video! Thank you
My dad always has been a bit confused by gaming in general, I think I've found a way to show him why sometimes it's more than just pixels on a screen.
It might not have been at the highest level , but the Summit 1G Molotov has to be here for me haha
The best CS:GO documentary! Thank you TheScore eSports!
This is a god level documentary and a must watch for every single cs pro scene lover
From a console kid turned PC player, I was late to the party with a lot of the great games' heyday, but with CS, it felt different, as if history could be made at every event. "The game that refused to die." Excellent production.
