About Us

Our Story

CS2 Pro Players & Skinbid was founded in 2023 by a group of passionate Counter-Strike enthusiasts with backgrounds in competitive gaming, content creation, and digital marketing. What started as a casual Discord conversation about the lack of quality content at the intersection of professional CS2 play and skin trading quickly evolved into a mission to create the definitive resource for both aspects of the game.

Our team includes former semi-professional players, skin collectors with inventories worth thousands of dollars, and writers who have covered esports events around the world. This diversity of experience allows us to provide unique insights that bridge the gap between competitive gameplay and the aesthetic and economic aspects of CS2.

Since our launch, we've grown from a small blog to a comprehensive platform with readers from over 120 countries. We're proud to have established ourselves as a trusted voice in the CS2 community, known for our in-depth analysis, exclusive interviews, and practical guides.

Our Mission

We strive to be the premier destination for CS2 enthusiasts seeking to deepen their understanding of professional play while navigating the complex world of skin trading and collection. Our goal is to create content that educates, entertains, and inspires our readers to elevate both their gameplay and their appreciation for the artistic and economic dimensions of CS2.
