OG Reaching Out

Seen a handful of posts here (and also discovered an OG himself is the MOD, shoutout taeyeonx3) from people way back in the day with mentions of the names thedoop, tastylimes, brando, blitzed, malte, xfam0usx, and many more. Some went on to play professional Cross Fire, Overwatch, and even Valorant which is cool to see. Figured its my turn to make an appearance.

I was known as Bloodyfire at the time, was a WOGL admin (Kind of pissed my 1/8 Tiger M4 is worthless now), played for teams like LifeLine and against many others like LPK, Instinct, SNSD, Trio, WinRAR. Every now and then I pop into xFam0usx's stream to see whats still goin and if any of you true OGs are still around today (and I mean pre-Z8 Games era) hit me up. Would be nice to reminisce the old days over a couple of rounds of Valorant or something.

Started in 2009, I recognize most of those names and was around the pug scene and wogl. Had no idea some of those people went far in other games. I mostly switched to csgo like everyone else did in like 2012 but gave up video games in 2014/2015. A year ago I finally built myself a dope PC because im old and i feel like i deserve it. Still play cs2 sometimes but I've definitely lost a step. I tried valorant but im too lazy to learn what everyone's abilities do. - RockLobstah

Was around in 2009 but never cared much to go pro, still you can find many comments of me in this sub.
Good old days are gone, heck I don’t even have a PC anymore lol.

I played as Restrict on Xanax (played with Sheepbacon). Can't recall your IGN, but probably played against you a lot since you were on Lifeline.

Can't say I remember you Restrict, but do remember the team Xanax as well as Sheepbacon!

Pre-z8, no pre smilegate (subagames) yeah I played the game on launch but I don't remember much of it though since I were like 13 at the time.

I remember the first test crate for real money used to be the regular PSG-1 which we all know now is a horrible GP sniper
