Every era of this game has a lesson in it.
I picked up Counter-Strike in the 1.6 days and never really put it down — through Condition Zero, Source, the rise of CS:GO, and now CS2. Five generations of the same game, the same core problem: how do you out-think and out-execute the team across the map from you.
Twelve of those years were spent competing professionally — inside the Australian scene at its highest level, and on the CS:GO Major circuit against the best teams in the world. I represented Australia internationally close to a dozen times, travelling to compete on foreign servers, in foreign languages, under real pressure.
The last three years have gone into coaching — taking everything a career like that teaches you about mechanics, decision-making, team systems and the mental side of competing, and turning it into something teachable. That system is what this program is built on.
