I have read about it in a magazine. Then some of my friend started playing and i got myself a copy too. But i haven't had an internet connection, not even dial-up, so i could only play with bots. Playing with them wasn't really interesting though, and it haven't lasted for too long.
But few years ago i connected to my local network and started playing again.

7 Years old went to an Internet Cafe and that was the first game i saw them playing ^_^ It was 1.5 then i think or even lower. But i havent't played for 9 Years straight, i'm playing seriously for about a year and 2-3 months now. I'm wondering if some of the proffesional players who are reading the thread are going to write how they started playing CS ?
