I've been playing Counter-Strike since 2004. I love the game, I'm a skins enjoyer, and I occasionally make videos about both.
Hey, I'm Raf
I’m not a pro player, a legendary trader, or anything particularly special—just a longtime Counter-Strike player who loves the game and its skins. People in real life believe that I like video games. But really, I don’t like video games... I just like Counter-Strike. And okay, Flight Simulator.
I played CS:S in an amateur competitive environment from 2004–2009 (CAL/CEVO), then picked the game back up in 2012 when CS:GO was released. From then on, I mostly played matchmaking. I peaked at LEM through multiple CS:GO rank shifts.
I got into skins shortly after they were added in 2014. Things ramped up in 2015, when I assembled my dream loadout: a Howl, Dragon Lore, and Fire & Ice Karambit. I eventually sold everything in December 2019 after deciding I wasn’t playing enough anymore to justify keeping it.
In 2025, I started rebuilding my inventory and launched a YouTube channel—or rather, uploaded one video that unexpectedly took off and motivated me to make more. Although I don’t play as much as I did a decade ago, I know I’ll never fully stop playing. Counter-Strike is forever.
