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.

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.
