    Game » consists of 13 releases. Released Aug 21, 2012

    The fourth iteration of Valve's team-based modern-military first-person shooter, rebuilt and constantly expanded for competitive play with new maps, new weapons, and new gameplay mechanics. It was later made free-to-play and most versions were later replaced with the sequel.

    Can we all just stop for a moment and appreciate how awesome this is?

    Alright, i know this tweet probably doesn't mean much to most of you, so here's the context:

    Earlier this year, brazilian CS:GO team KaBuM was rasing money from fans so they could attend a qualifier for a major tournament. It was successful thanks to a huge donation from one of the pro players (flusha from Fnatic). KaBuM qualified for the major, and even went on through group stage to play-off, and now (renamed to Luminosity Gaming) are one of the top tier teams in CS:GO scene.
    Now, one of the Luminositys player, "Fallen", is paying the nice gesture forward. He promised to provide accommodation and travel cost for a no-name argentinian team.

    To tie this with what have been discussed on couple of the last bombcasts, this is the kind of news that i honestly think gaming media should cover r at leats pay attention. E-sports needs this feel-good news from time to time, so its not just strangling DOTA players or throwing poop at each other.

    @kubqo: very cool way to pay it forward.

    CS:GO has always been a game I've wanted to check out, but always felt like I'd be way behind the curve jumping in now.
