The Story Of The Deagle

It’s the most high-risk, high-reward weapon in the whole of Counter-Strike.

It has the highest skill cap, and the widest margin for both success and failure. It’s gone from accessible and overpowered to useless and underutilized and, in that time, it’s inspired both adoration and anger.

It’s both the best and worst value proposition in the buy menu. A symbol of what it means to be truly great at esports’ most hallowed and hallmarked shooter. You can buy it. Just know: you better hit your shots.

This is the story of the one weapon in CS:GO that not everyone should wield. The weapon that can make or break any round. This the Story of the Deagle.
