@e30bmw: You can't play Source... Well you can, but the version that exists today is a shadow of its former self. In 2010 the same clueless team (hidden path entertainment) that made csgo ruined it with a serious of patches that dramatically changed the way it played...and it still remains in that broken state today sadly. Also the main problems that exist in csgo that have been there right from the beginning have still not been fixed, much of the magic that was in both 1.6 and css just isnt there.....
Just watching the frag movies in my OP you can see how different the gameplay is.... notice in the csgo frag movies they have a shoutcaster having to hype every scene because the gameplay alone isnt all that impressive.... play some fast music and it doesnt fit the slowertempo of csgo, like it does in 1.6 and css movies. The skill ceiling is a lot lower in csgo, you can be a top player in just a few months if you bother to put the effort in, the difference between someone playing the former games years and months was enormous.. there just isnt anywhere near that much to master in csgo.
Also the reason why csgo has playerbase far higher than source ever did is not because its a better game (because it absolutely isnt) but instead because.
a) Steam userbase has grown IMMENSELY since the days CS source was in its prime.
b) Constant Free advertising/exposure on websites like twitch.
c) Valve have actually bothered to support the esports side of things offering big prize pools for tournements
d) Skins -_-
