What exactly is Counter Strike: Global Offensive? To the uninitiated, CS:GO is just another multiplayer shooter in an industry overflowing with them, but its heritage is actually so much richer than that. So to give you that helping hand, we’ve broken down what competitive CS:GO really is, why it’s worth watching and some of the exciting things you should keep an eye out for during a pro game. Well that’s where we come in! We understand that coming into any new sport can be a little confusing at first, and CS:GO - with its round-based combat, fast-paced action and the importance of equipment choice, can sometimes need a little explaining so you can enjoy the best of the action easily. But maybe you’ve played Call of Duty, Halo or Battlefield, and fancy getting your teeth into the shooter that many would describe as the ultimate spectator sport in the world of videogames. So much so in fact, that it can be a little bit overbearing to initially get into.

When it comes to CS:GO and its eSports scene, there are few shooters that can combine the frenetic pace matched with strategic team play.
