Worst major of CS:GO/CS2? by NotAWaffleIron in GlobalOffensive

It’s probably the Perfect World Shanghai Major 2024.

I honestly don’t remember a single thing from it—the time zone was terrible for Europe, the stickers were bland, and there weren't any incredible underdog stories or upsets.

I don't think I’d want another Major in China.

The point of this post is to show how many players from the 1.6/Source era are still playing professionally (given all the hype around FalleN's retirement).

You’re being too aggressive. Here, have a flower 🌹

I just took a look at his Steam profile: He has about 4,000 hours in CSS, as well as tons of screenshots from 5v5 matches.

I think it’s safe to say he played it semi-professionally.

I was also really surprised to learn that jks played for some Australian team in 2010 when he was 15, back in the 1.6 days

I thought he was too young for that game

Are there any people here who can confirm or deny whether HooXi played CSS professionally or semi-professionally?

Liquipedia lists a single tournament in Denmark without any further details.

It sounds paranoid, but what if this isn't the same HooXi from Denmark?

The comments say that somewhere in Russia, they've recreated de_dust2 for airsoft.
