I found out about CS:GO from a YouTuber. the channel was about facts, and it talked about a man who was playing CS, and lost to a knife fight. Wanting revenge, the man searched for 8 months, finding the man?s house he rang the doorbell, and stabbed the him right in the chest. Luckily missed his heart.
From there I looked the game up and learned more about it. I owned a MineCraft server at the time, and asked someone who played it if I should get it. After getting it, I promised myself I would learn the game before going on community servers. The promise broke, and I found many servers, tried a lot of them. One stuck out though, it was the only one that had a community based more on the gameplay, instead of getting headshots, and RDMing. Joined the community. TS is where I met people. And got my rank a couple of months later.
