W początkowych wersjach gry Counter-Strike rolę tej usługi pełniła sieć o nazwie WON. ... Po przejęciu roli sieci kojarzącej graczy przez wspomnianą wcześniej platformę Steam sieć WON została wyłączona, co pozostawiło wczesne wersje gry Counter-Strike bez usługi tego rodzaju. Odpowiedzią społeczności gry na to zdarzenie było stworzenie otwartego zamiennika sieci WON, o nazwie WON2, znanej też pod nazwa Steamless.[In the early versions of Counter-Strike, this service was a network called WON. ... After the aforementioned Steam platform took over the role of the matchmaking network, the WON network was disabled, leaving early versions of Counter-Strike without such a service.

Counter-Strike multiplayer games on the Internet originally worked with the World Opponent Network (WON) service, which was shut down in 2004 with the arrival of version 1.6 of the game, forcing players to switch to the Steam platform. However, a large number of Counter-Strike 1.5 players who refused the switch to Steam distribution that Counter-Strike forced with its version 1.6, remained faithful to their version, and faced with this obligation which involved numerous advertising communications, some players created their own service, called “WON2” and invited others to follow them.]
