As you have probably noticed, r/GlobalOffensive is still private in protest, due to Reddit's recent API changes, which you can read more about in the link:

https://mashable.com/article/reddit-blackout-ceo-downplays-api-protest

Due to the lack of meaningful change, we will remain private for the time being. We will re-evaluate our stance on the 19th of June and will keep you updated in the relevant channels, as we go along with this extension.

If you wish to continue discussing CS in general you can join the Discord discord.gg/cs-2 or stay here on kbin.

I sincerely hope this piece of content can help inspire a few gamers out there. While it may not be relevant for YOU, I feel the obligation to share it cause it may be for your friend.

When I’m gone, this is what I want to be remembered for, the rest doesn’t matter ❤️

I’m far from perfect in any way, have never been, and will never be. However I hope you’ll follow my footsteps and try your best to change whatever you want changed in your life❤️

Enjoy the summer break, let’s get ready for Counter Strike 2!
