When did you start playing cs ?

I started playing CSGO a few years ago when it became free, I wasn't really good at it so I tried hacking the game and honestly it was amazing for a few days maybe weeks.
But then most of the hacks that i used were free so i would get VAC banned and had to create a new Steam account everyday (3 or 4 accounts everyday), I wasn't an OG player more like that annoying hacker who would say
"Ranks? Lmao I'm MG2" and show off.
It got really boring like REALLY, so i made a new account and thought that this time I wouldn't hack but because of non prime there were hackers on the other team so it was really annoying.

A few months ago i reached Level 21 and received my prime status and then there were less hackers and it was fun to play, later on i got VAC banned, I lost my inventory (28$ worth). I then made a new account and bought prime and 50$ worth of skins. I am a really good player (not to brag) even though my trust factor is low because of all the reports I get.

Honestly I'm actually glad I started as a hacker because that is what made me a better player (I only hacked walls no aimbot or anything else), Because of hacking I learned all the angles and cross hair placements and basic game sense. I still am in "Silver Elite Master" because i solo queue a lot and I either get noob teammates (by noob i mean new players, no offense) or hackers in the other team.

CSGO is an amazing game but their VAC is not that great.
1 more thing I'd like to add is that if you are good at aiming in CSGO then aiming in any other FPS game will be easy, CSGO helps with reaction time and aim.
