This plays incredible in my steam deck, can get >100fps compared to CS2 that I can only lock to 40fps for a smooth gameplay.

just visit classicoffensive dot net if you want a copy

EDIT: they claim files are safe but download at your own risk

Hey everyone!

I'm excited to share a project I started a few years ago, paused for a while, and am now bringing back to life in 2025 with fresh energy — it's called Vacatch.

The idea behind Vacatch is simple: it helps players track their in-game reports and notifies them if a VAC ban is issued to the suspect they reported.

Vacatch is a community-driven initiative from France, built by and for CS2 players who want to keep the game cleaner and fairer.

🕵️‍♂️ With Vacatch, you can:

  • Log a report on a player with details like cheat type (vision, aim, etc.), the map, and a private note to remind yourself later.
  • Seamlessly integrate with Steam and Faceit APIs to ensure accurate, real-time data.
  • Get automatic alerts if someone you reported ends up VAC banned — no more checking profiles manually every day.

Vacatch runs checks daily and notifies you the moment a ban is confirmed.

If you're into keeping CS2 fair and want to actively contribute to a better experience for all, I’d love to have you join the journey.

🟢 Try it now at Vacatch.com — feedback and support from the community mean everything.

Thanks, and see you out there!--

Cloud9 have announced the departure of coach Konstantin "⁠groove⁠" Pikiner and manager Aleksandr "Sweetypotz" Shcherbakov from the organization.

In a statement on X, the American side commented on its future in Counter-Strike, saying it is "taking a step back" and that it has "no immediate plans to re-enter" the game.

It still left the door open to a potential return under the right circumstances. "We love CS and are always on the lookout for opportunities," the post says....

BLAST has announced that the Major Regional Qualifiers (MRQs) for the Austin Major will be held online across all three regions: Europe, Asia and the Americas.

Scheduled for April 14-17, the MRQ events will feature 16 teams in Europe and the Americas and 12 in Asia. Because these tournaments will be held online, the Americas and the Asia MRQs will be split into sub-regions to eliminate significant ping issues....

NiKo and Karrigan as they sit down with YNk to discuss their legendary careers in Counter-Strike, reflecting on the past, present, and future of their journeys.

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....
