Valve made plenty of changes to Steam this week, pointing to either CSGO Source 2 or a full Counter-Strike 2 release date. Due to new files and executables appearing online as “CS2”, we still don’t know exactly what the Counter-Strike team has up their sleeves. However, a new conspiracy theory, based on Steam sales, the upcoming Game Developers Conference (GDC), and, uh, The Office, makes surprising sense.

So we’ve already seen Valve add new files to the CSGO backend that signal the arrival of at least something new, whether it’s a Global Offensive conversion to Source 2 or a Counter-Strike 2. complete. It is also possible that CSGO Source 2 is simply renamed to CS2.

However, one theory seems adamant that whatever Valve is up to will be released or revealed on March 23rd or 24th. Posting via its official Twitter account, skins site Counter-Strike CSMoney notes a few interesting, or at least very entertaining ones. patterns.

First, the CSGO Twitter account recently replied to three tweets from Counter-Strike fans or streamers that referenced Source 2. In each of those replies, the CSGO account simply share a GIF of the American version of The Office.

Sounds harmless enough, right? Well, a quick glance at Wikipedia suggests that the first episode of The Office aired on March 24, 2005. You’ve got your tinfoil hat, haven’t you? Alright, so we continue.

CSMoney then notes that the original release date of the famous “de_office” CSGO map was March 23, 2012. The site also highlights the fact that the Source 2 engine was first announced at the GDC – this year’s GDC will begin next week. , and ends, you guessed it, March 24th.

Finally, the Steam Spring Sale is already underway, at least until next week, when it ends on March 23. Like CSMoney speculatewhat better way to wrap up Steam’s spring sales than by announcing CSGO Source 2?

So we have Valve sharing the GIFs of a show called The Office, which launched on March 24. CSGO itself offers a map called After an office, which premiered on March 23.

Meanwhile, Source 2 was showcased at a show that will end on March 24 this year. And it’s all tied to the end of the Steam sale on March 23. Chance? Mere coincidence? Yes maybe. But who knows? Valve works in mysterious ways. We’ll just have to keep watching the sky, at least until the end of next week.

Either way, you’ll want the best CSGO scopes. You can also turn off those CSGO leaderboards with our comprehensive guide, or maybe remember all of the CSGO console commands, before CS2 fully arrived.
