In 2012, a new version of the legendary game came out, the world got to play CS:GO. Hardly anyone liked the game. Many continued playing CS 1.6, not believing in the new version's future, though there started appearing the first CS:GO events, and players understood that the era of 1.6 was coming to an end. This is how a new stage of esports CS started, and it's reflected in the photos below.
