Counterstrike was first released in the year 2000. We are now on the fourth edition in the counterstrike series, with the latest version CS:GO being released in 2012. The game has grown over the years and has built the kind of community that existed decades ago when counterstrike first hit the gaming scene. The interest in the sport has drawn the attention of major companies investing in teams and events, which has led to the rapid growth of Esports competition. People often wonder whether CS:GO betting is dead. But the reality is, it’s better than it’s ever been.
