Edit protection[edit]

Literally no reason to ever take that off this page. HLTV is pretty infamous for the trolling on its forum from people in 50+ countries so this probably should be indeff'd. The moment it expires someone will make a post about it on the forum and it'll start all over. Nole (chat·edits) 18:08, 25 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

In the Section history "In 2016, HLTV launched dust.dk, a website dedicated to the Counter-Strike scene in Denmark." should be changed to ...launched dust2.dk, ... dust.dk is a website about horses and not counter-strike. dust2.dk is the correct site. In the same regard the title of source 8 has to be chanched to "Dust2.dk" as well. 77.23.14.215 (talk) 16:16, 6 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

On February 28th, HLTV was acquired by Better Collective, a sports betting media company. It was purchased for €34.5 million, and the deal included their sister site dust2.dk
Ref: https://esportsinsider.com/2020/02/hltv-org-acquisition-better-collective/

Additionally, the mention of HLTV's acronym — "HLTV, which stands for Half-Life Television" — would be better worded as "HLTV, formerly an acronym of Half-Life Television", as I doubt that the acronym is acknowledged anymore, if it was at all.

Visitors/mo[edit]

Just commenting this for future editors/discussions. After the purchase by Better Collective, a number of sources started reporting this 26.5 million visitors per month number. As best I can tell, this comes directly from the HLTV announcement and should be viewed with caution. Treat that as a primary source unless we get someone better reporting on that.

Kennys should be in 6 with 61 points and he isn't even in the rank 20. He should have 61 points going into this logic. 2013 - 9 points - Rank 12 2014 - 15 points - Rank 6 2015 - 15 points - Rank 6 2016 - 8 points - Rank 13 2017 - 14 points - Rank 7

Well, the reason he wasn't in that list was that it only included people with at least one top-3 ranking. However, I've removed that entire table from the article as apparent WP:OR / WP:SYNTH since it appears to me that this ranking system was invented for this Wikipedia article.

Update HLTV being an "acronym" to being an "initialism"[edit]

Acronyms are intialisms that are spoken, like RADAR. You don't say "huhtulv" you say aitch-ell-tee-vee, you spell it out. That makes it an initialism, not an acronym 2A00:23C8:881E:A201:E4A6:CD4:A5B5:1F9F (talk) 20:23, 25 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
