This is my first long-form video that digs into more of the history of how CS tactics evolve over time. What did you think of this video and would you like to see more? Let me know what you’d be interested in!
Edit: There is a bot going around in the comments pretending to be me. I will only ever communicate using this account, so please do not message or interact with them! -
this man really watched every mirage demo in history. most sane faceit user
-
I'd like to give this guy props, I have never played cs go, never watched a tournament, and yet I watched an entire video on it because of how it was presented, made it genuinely interesting
-
You know this game has such an abundance of history when someone can make a 20 minute video on 1 utility being used in 1 area of this 1 map
-
I really can't I watched a 20 minute video on throwing mirage window smoke. The History of this game is so rich and you are such a good story writer to explain it so nicely. thank you so much for this video

Volumetric smokes bruh -
I never thought something like this could be made. It just enhances my appreciation for the game and the community around it. The amount of effort you put into this is almost unimaginable. Thank you for doing what you're doing Mahone.

Snax must have thrown it by pressing W+A while crouched to make use of wallstrafing, as well as standing up just before (or by simultaniously) jump-throwing for extra speed. He always had super innovative line-ups like the one for heaven on Nuke where he lined himself up while running out of T spawn.
Awesome compilation and great research as usual. Thanks! -

the streets have been waiting
-
wallstrafing mentioned this video has everything
-
Blast should show this during their breaks instead of dead air. THIS is good content.
-
never was a video outdated so fast. welcome cs2!
-
Mahone was so dedicated he built a time machine just for this one video. I appreciate all the effort you put in and hope to see more
-
Gonna have to remake this video soon
-
funny how this video was made instantly outdated. rip old smokes
-
This must have been a tonne of work to research and record. Awesome job dude - this will go down as one of the most important historical CS videos ever! Now go take a day off :)
-
I find it amazing that you managed to pick such a small thing about CS and managed to make it into such an interesting video
-
now it has evolved yet again
-
this has to be my favourite piece you've done, fantastic work!
