It took just over one year for Valve to realise the potential of this Half Life mod to package it as an official Valve product. Almost exactly 18 years later we have seen how large the game has grown around the world in terms of player numbers, professional scene, community involvement, etc. In all this time Counter Strike has yet to truly establish itself as a game with a large community in Ireland. This seems to be the exception rather than the rule in most European nations so I believe the potential is there for a great Counter Strike scene. After all, if we look at populations this island has more potential players than Denmark, a Counter Strike powerhouse. With than in mind I would like to briefly touch on the past of the CS scene in Ireland and give my opinions on why we should look forward to its future.

Featured Interview

Krouching Tiger 2017-03-18 |  GamerCon 2017: Niall ‘Digs’ Diggins Interview by Patton of CS Codex

From this interview...


Ok, what are your thoughts on the event so far?

We haven’t seen it yet, we’ve been sitting out outside. It’s fairly shit.

Calvoo again – Nice here on Friday, class.

Who is your player to watch for the event?

My player to watch is probably … I’m gonna go with Lainny in Dead Element Gaming actually.

Calvoo – I’d say Doyle.

Doyle, I don’t know.

Aim wise, this is the best roster I’ve been on. At the moment we’ve only started practising one map, so we are slowly making progress and it feels like this is the best roster that I’ve been on. Hopefully we can get the results to prove it.
