Widely considered one of the greatest Counter-Strike players in history and one who defined lurking in early CS:GO, GeT_RiGhT is one of four inaugural inductees into the Hall of Fame.

There are precious few players with careers long or illustrious enough to be among the conversation for the best of all time, but when Christopher "⁠GeT_RiGhT⁠" Alesund announced his retirement in 2021, his name was firmly on the list.

Playing hand-in-hand with fellow Hall of Fame inductee Patrik "⁠f0rest⁠" Lindberg through much of a 13-year career, GeT_RiGhT's excellence transcended two iterations of Counter-Strike and saw him twice named the best player in the world, secure innumerable titles, and establish himself as a figurehead of Counter-Strike across multiple generations....

Statement regarding Counter-Strike 2's latest update:

ESL Challenger League and IEM Dallas Qualifiers will be played on the latest update, whilst IEM Katowice Stage 1 will play on the previous update and change over for Stage 2 which starts this Saturday February 1st.

Welcome to Premier Season Two.

If you haven't heard the news, here's what's new in Season Two. Vertigo is out, Train is in, the M4A4 is more... A4-dable... and we've tweaked the FAMAS.

Season Two runs from now through the Austin Major, at which point players who meet the requirements will be awarded a Premier Season Two Medal. The color will correspond to your highest CS Rating achieved during the season, and the bars will reflect your total wins, with one bar for every 25—up to five bars.

To earn your Premier Season Two Medal, you'll need an account in good standing, 25 Premier match wins, and an active CSR at the end of the season.

Premier matchmaking is now open for business, so hit the queue and start racking up those wins!
