On the weekend of July the 12 and the 13, I organised a 2 day long LAN party. One of the proposed games was CS. As there were to be systems not meeting the requirements of CS2, I opted to run CS:GO. But Valve has killed CS:GO, unless you want to tinker a lot. And after coming to the conclusion that there is no comprehensive guide on how to run CS:GO after it's discontinuation on YouTube, I decided to create my own.
