British esports broadcast talent Freya Spiers will host Red Bull’s deep dive into the glory years of Counter-Strike: Global Offensive (CSGO): the ‘Memories of CS:GO – The Final Years’ documentary.
This is set to premiere globally on 4 December 2024 on Red Bull Gaming’s YouTube channel.
Produced by Red Bull Media House, the new feature-length film closely follows 2024’s ‘Memories of CS:GO – The Early Years’, which charted the origins of the competitive shooter from its grassroots beginnings to its evolution as a global esports phenomenon.
Continuing the saga, ‘Memories of CS:GO – The Final Years’ chronicles an emotional journey from the perspective of its key protagonists, recalling the thrilling rise of Team Liquid as Team Astralis’ reign falls, the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, all the way to Team Vitality’s victory at the last-ever CS:GO Major (which also saw UK org Into the Breach go on a miracle run).
The new 90-minute film features personal accounts from iconic figures including Astralis’ trio of Nicolai ‘dev1ce‘ Reedtz, Casper ‘cadiaN‘ Møller, Peter ‘dupreeh‘ Rasmussen, as well as Team Liquid’s Jonathan ‘Elige‘ Jablonowski and Jordan ‘n0thing‘ Gilbert.
‘Memories of CSGO – The Final Years explores rivalries, roster changes that changed the course of CSGO history, and the perseverance, teamwork and passion that forged the game’s legends’, according to a press release.
It also delves into the dedication of the Brazilian community with Alexandre ‘gAuLeS‘ Borba and Wilton ‘zews‘ Prado, looking back at Brazil’s first-ever Major.
A couple of months ago, Red Bull also released ‘T1 Rose Together’, a feature-length documentary about the World Championship winning Korean League of Legends team T1.
