Culture

Counter-Strike is famous for the culture surrounding it, which includes everything from professional gamers and leagues, to excessive cheating and disruptive behavior. Certain professional teams (such as SK Gaming, Team 3D, and fnatic) have come to earn a living out of it, while other clans and community based groups neither lose nor earn money via member donations which are self sustaining in return for administrator rights in servers involved in the community. Cheating groups, such as myg0t and JAPS have been known to create a disturbance in the game by spamming the microphone, radio commands, using various publicly or privately released hacks, or even killing the whole team in one round. This is also known as raging or griefing.
