CS:GO surf guide - how to surf in CS:GO

Global Offensive event and wondered why (and more importantly how) someone was gliding effortlessly around parts of a map? What you had laid your eyes on was Counter-Strike's strangest offspring game mode, surf, where you ride the waves of triangular ramps in a 'floor is lava'-style scenario.


The trouble with CS:GO surf gameplay is that it can look like the easiest thing in the world when done right, but in reality it is far from that. Professional surfers float through the mode's most complicated and convoluted maps with ease, knowing every turn to make and calculating the exact speed they need to make each gap. On the flip side, inexperienced players can often find themselves over-compensating a sharp turn or pressing the wrong keys, resulting in a loss of speed and a fast route back to the beginning.


There are two main CS:GO surf game modes. The most popular is Skill Surf, where you race to get the fastest time to complete a course. There is also Combat Surf, where players fight each other whilst surfing. The key to succeeding in CS:GO surf modes is practice, and with some key tips and tricks you will be on your way to becoming a surfing master in no time.

ESL and partnered CS:GO teams extend Louvre Agreement to 2025

ESL has extended the Louvre Agreement, a coalition between the tournament organiser and 14 Counter-Strike: Global Offensive teams that shapes the development of the ESL Pro League, until 2025.


The Louvre Agreement was created initially in 2020, with 13 teams including Astralis, Team Vitality, and Fnatic all signing up. This dropped to 12 teams when 100 Thieves exited the CS:GO scene last year, but the additions of BIG and Furia saw it expand to the 14 teams that have agreed to extend the partnership for another three years. Heroic is also set to join the agreement in the second half of 2022.


The Louvre Agreement has become an attractive partnership, with over 40 entities applying to join it when ESL opened its doors to new applicants last year. The combined buy-in bids from the three successful teams - BIG, Furia, and Heroic - totalled almost $20 million, according to ESL.
