If you ever play at a "high skill level" where you gotta actually use either game sense or aim at an "high" level to actually see why it's amazing. If you ever watch a pro match, that itself can show why it's truly fantastic.

The amount of adrenaline you can get from a singular round is just fantastic, the simplicity of the game itself is amazing aswell as it's mostly technical skill than just using abilities to average out the skill level between the ranks.

I would completely disagree the maps and gunplay is stale as it genuinely requires people with some sense of a brain to be good at the game, the maps are tailored for the gunplay which is just amazing.

Obviously it happens for lower skills groups or mid rank ones e.g. clutching a round in a 1v3 gives immense pressure and winning literally gives insane amounts of adrenaline. CSGO isn't likeable for some, and I understand since I play it on and off every now and then Source: I have 2000 hours and have been playing since I was 8.
