HLTV, formerly an acronym of Half-Life Television, is a news website and forum which covers professional Counter-Strike: Global Offensive esports news, tournaments and statistics. It is one of the leading websites within the Counter-Strike community with over 4 million unique visitors each month. In February 2020, the site was acquired by the sports betting group Better Collective. HLTV was founded in 2002 by Martin "Martin" Rosenbæk and Per "Nomad" Lambæk. It was initially created to host recordings of Counter-Strike 1.6 matches, although it grew to include Counter-Strike and Half-Life news. HLTV started storing GOTV demos for Counter-Strike: Global Offensive when they were introduced in 2012. It has since evolved to include news, statistics, and analysis for the professional esports scene of Global Offensive. More information...
