We are immensely proud to announce the newest version of HLTV.org, which brings a design overhaul and many new exciting features.

If you follow us on our Social Media channels, then you must have noticed the hints we have occasionally dropped about a new design. Today, we are thrilled to announce that the wait is over and that HLTV.org has its first complete overhaul in over a decade!

The new website is the result of months of hard work and of the collaboration of the many hard-working people who do their best on a daily basis to make HLTV.org the true home of competitive Counter-Strike.

A new beginning for HLTV.org

The website’s new features include:

Improved design

While we felt the design of the old page had gotten very outdated, we were still happy about our overall layout, which we have retained (meaning features are all roughly in the same place). However, every single part of the site has gotten a design update, in a fresh new design language, consistent across the entire site.

Mobile-friendly interface

As our mobile user base increases, we felt it was very important to have the full experience there as well, and we have custom tailored the mobile site to users on the move, with quick access to matches with livescores, results, and the latest news, but also the opportunity to properly explore the stats section and dive deeper into the site.

Night mode

This fan favorite has been on the drawing board since day one, and people can finally browse the site at night without having eyes hurting. With just a click of a button in the drop-down settings menu in the upper right corner you can now switch to a dark theme across the site.

Automatic time zones

While the old site always had time zone support, this was only for logged in users and required a manual setting. This new system will automatically detect time zones, whether you are logged in or not, and convert all times and dates on the website in accordance. But don't worry, you will also still be able to set your time zone manually in the settings after logging in.

First column navigation

Navigation on the old site, especially as we have grown over the years with deeper and deeper content, proved insufficient. Now we introduce a brand new concept of having the first column to the left become a context-aware navigation column for various subpages, with quick access to other sections of the site, advanced filtering options and much more. This is one of the biggest changes we have ever done, and we think as soon as you get a chance to try it out, you will experience a whole new depth of our vast database of CS data.

These features are only the main points. Improvements and refinements have been made across the site, as every single page was rethought and re-evaluated from the use-cases we think are the most common.

We would like to emphasize that this is just the first chapter in a new era for HLTV.org.

Our design and coding team is working around the clock to create the most comprehensive Counter-Strike website in the world, one that will strengthen our ability to meet the demands of the community. What this new site represents is a foundation to build on, during the entire development process emphasis has been on building a framework we could also use for the future development of the website. The site as it is now is very much just the beginning.

We understand that this is a very big change, especially from a site that has been very resistant to change for a long time, but we hope everyone will look at it with fresh eyes and see how big of an improvement it is on so many levels. There may of course still be some bugs, and features that some feel are missing, so any issues, or missing features you run into, please let us know so we can get it sorted out as soon as possible.

We will be around to answer questions right here, in the forums and on twitter, so if you have anything to ask or suggest let us know.
