TURF! European CS:GO community
TURF! was a project founded in 2018 when I was 15 years old, starting my final year of secondary school. It quickly evolved into a thriving community and network in the world of Counter-Strike: Global Offensive, a prominent first-person-shooter game in E-ports. Our mission was to create a space for players to engage in competitive and casual gaming, as official game servers weren't delivering the desired experience. We took the initiative to develop our servers and build a dedicated community.
The progress was remarkable, with thousands of players joining us within weeks. We expanded by launching an online store, allowing players to support the community by purchasing in-game items and perks. The generated revenue helped enhance our infrastructure by renting additional servers. After a year, we transitioned to cloud-hosting and configuring our Linux cloud server, improving performance and reducing costs. Surplus revenue allowed us to acquire resources, hire developers, and enhance the project.
The project continued to gain momentum, with a dedicated player base active from early mornings to late nights. By the summer of 2020, our goal was achieved, with a growing number of players participating daily. As school demanded more of my time, we made the decision to discontinue the game servers. We expressed gratitude to the 300,000 players who were an integral part of our journey. TURF! had a profound impact on hundreds of thousands, fostering enduring friendships. We are grateful for initiating and sustaining TURF! through this remarkable journey.
