CS Global Offensive is a remake of a popular CS 1.6 version. The release of this remake in 2012 caused a split in the community with many preferring to stay with the older version, but as time passed, CS GO surpassed its ancestor and it is currently the most popular shooter and one of the most important esports. The active cooperation between Valve and tournament organizers account for a very smooth and well-integrated series of online tournaments. So much so, that CS GO won the “Esports Game of the Year” in 2016.
