A new era of Counter-Strike

Renown was created to address three critical challenges facing the Counter-Strike ecosystem, the game we deeply love and have played for over two decades:

1. A healthier community focus
   The Counter-Strike ecosystem has struggled under third-party platforms that prioritize monopolizing the market over delivering real value to the community. We're here to build a community-focused platform that genuinely cares about the players and the game's future.
2. Fighting cheaters effectively
   Cheating has become a rampant issue, ruining the experience for countless players. Renown takes on the responsibility of tackling this problem with innovative, proprietary anti-cheat solutions.
3. Reducing toxicity in competitive matches
   Toxicity has become a growing problem in competitive gaming. Through both human and AI moderation, we aim to make every match a positive and enjoyable experience.

Our mission is to build a platform where Counter-Strike players can thrive, compete fairly, and enjoy the game we all love.

We believe a paid membership is one of Renown's greatest strengths, enabling us to create a premium experience for our players. Here's why:

1. Keeping cheaters out
   A premium, invite-only platform raises the barrier to entry, making it much harder for cheaters to join – and near impossible for them to return after being banned.
2. Building a community of dedicated players
   By focusing on serious players, we ensure everyone on Renown shares a passion for Counter-Strike and a commitment to high-quality gameplay.
3. Player-focused development
   Since our revenue comes directly from members, we can prioritize your experience over pleasing external investors or venture capitalists.
4. Funding moderation and anti-cheat
   Paid memberships allow us to invest in robust moderation and the best possible anti-cheat solutions – creating a fair and enjoyable experience.

Renown is built and owned in Sweden, founded by some of the passionate Counter-Strike players behind Leetify and DatHost.

We've chosen not to take on venture capital to maintain full control over the platform's future. This ensures our focus stays firmly on creating a positive impact in the CS space – without being pressured by external investors or forced into decisions that don't align with the best interests of players.

We're starting with top players in Europe and will expand to include more players over time. Additional regions may follow in 2025, depending on the interest shown on our waitlist.

If you'd like Renown to come to your region, spread the word! Encourage your friends to join the waitlist so we can better understand where the demand is strongest.

No.

By choosing not to take on venture capital, we've ensured that no outside influences can dilute our focus. Renown's sole focus is – and will remain – on Counter-Strike, allowing us to dedicate all our resources to making it the best possible experience.
