Right now, Counter-Strike: Global Offensive
is the most popular game on Steam with over 1,000,000 daily players. To
illustrate how remarkable this score is, Dota 2, the runner-up, has only a half
of that audience. And no, the game has not been released recently and now
reaping the benefits. CS:GO has been around for 8 years and with each month its
fan base is constantly growing.

attractive during all of these years? The reasons are many, but the most
crucial one is eSports. With big-name brands, million-dollar prize pools, and
professional teams, the game is bound to succeed.
