My favorite FPS shooter callout has to be in Rainbow 6 Siege when an enemy is tucked in a corner in the bottom of stairs. People usually call it "Harry Potter" and it always gives me a giggle when I hear that callout.
I call it CT Vent on broadcast because those who don't know might think... yeah! From what I understand in Europe that's the callout for it however. But if this video gets 10k likes I'll start calling it aZn on broadcast
had a couple of mates that were not familiar with the call and started calling it pommesbude when it still had the window in csgo. they mustve thought i was using a short version of that because it kinda looked like an takeaway deli with the window. wich i found really funny
@puzzlepuddles6712 yeah thats why fries are called pommes frites (pronounces roughly as "pommfritt") in germany, literally meaning fried potatoes. pommes is just the shortened version of that
7:30 I am pretty sure that Olof said in one Stream, that he wants a part of a map named like him because there were so many other positions that were called like some other pros. So he decided that this spot right outside the entry of A site on Train shall be called Olof from now on and he started to call this spot "Olof" in games himself. It then caught on and finally became the Olof-spot, that we all know today. I am not 100% certain, but pretty sure that this was the story of Olof on train. Maybe if I find time I can search for that part of his stream, but I don´t know whether I will find it, because it was at least 7 years ago.
Honestly, i'd more readily call that one spot next to the truck on a on overpass "olof", cause me and many others only really heard about olof from that one clip of him quad-stacking to shoot near t spawn.
Its also called Olof because he ran in there alone and died for free on every T round on Train when fnatic, or later Faze, played the map in tournaments
As an Oceania player, 90% of these have completely different and unrelated callouts over here. I remember asking "how the heck do you remember all these random teams/player names" when someone first started using the NA type callouts in my friend group. Edit: You forgot gay spot. Which one is gay spot? All of them.
In eastern Europe, the hiding spot near the ramp on B site is often called "Ukraine", I have no idea why. Also, the room behind the windows nearby is called "Aquarium", becaus of the huge glass windows.
can confirm, i played with russian guy on a daily basis in Bali, and the first time i heard about their callouts confuses me. They even called HUT in nuke “butka” or something.
me and my friend call that hiding spot "aleksib" because once we were watching a match and aleksi did something from there and in that moment we decided to name that spot like that
I believe because in Condition Zéro the team hired by valve to do the game was called "Pop Dog" and they leaved a graf of it there ? And pop dog, you may have Heard of them, they became a small studio that made a small game a while After, rockstar...
@@Ruffnecknarwhal oh no worries on my part, I knew the full story, just heard a plethora of iterations on that one in particular, considered it deserved an honorary mention, thats all
On Cobblestone I never liked that on A site they just called it Balcony, can't remember where I heard it first used but I started using Juliet, if they were on the balcony, or Romeo, if they were on the ground under balcony.
In Brazil, there was this infamous crime where a couple named Nardoni threw their daughter out of a 20th-floor window our something like that. When Cobble was still in the map pool, we used to call the drop zone "Nardoni." Sometimes, I just can't defend my people lol
Great video, but you missed moto on Inferno! It's actually pretty cool how a lot of the pro callouts have stuck over the years. It feeds into the "legacy" of CS and is a nice way of preserving the history of the game. Not many esports have this luxury and it's a cool way for CS to kinda standout amongst its peers.
in Romania underpass on inferno (Mexico) is called "rat" not really sure why. Also I remember CIS teams used to have numbered callouts for every specific location within a site, which I thought was pretty sick
in Romania we have a bunch of weird ass callouts. Heaven on Ancient is called "Emag" due to the many boxes there and Emag being the biggest retailer in Romania (you can sense the connection). On dust2, the hiding spot to left as you come out of suicide as a T is called "la bunelu" which means "at grandpa's" and I dont really know why. In the early days of CSGO I also heard ladder room on mirage as "la zugrav" which means "at the painter" or "painter's place/room". We also felt special and have called short on dust2 "scara" or "scari" which translates to stairs, and tunnels as "catacombe" (catacombs, though this was mostly in 1.6)
The most esoteric callout i know is "Credit Card" on Nuke, which is the small gap between the square blue and long grey boxes out next to garage. I supposed it's called that because it's kind of a flat rectangle. The weird part about it is that seemingly only movement players use this one. If I say it in an actual premier match everyone looks at me like I'm insane, but when I say it in a movement/smurf lobby everyone seems to understand perfectly.
Never played this game in my life (as I have the situational awareness of a deaf bat), but I cannot stop watching videos about it. Thank you for making well-informed, digestible vids about things I will almost 100% forget before I click off. Wait, is that a Yu-Gi-Oh World Championship Qualifier deck box out of focus on your left?
2nd spot is Big Box, Broky is more specific to the outside of temple corner Also Get_Right spot and Edward are different callouts. Edward is on the pillar and Get_Right is the corner.
You forgot f0rest/jail in the back of B site mirage. There was a running joke on HLTV that f0rest had gone to jail. The bars in the back of B site look like a jail cell door… hence the name.
I haven't really watched or played CS in almost a decade, this video is a trip. So many moments and players I remember so distinctly that are now half remembered legends
Speaking of Olof on Train, the next position that you reach if you move forward used to be called "Hell" because Heaven used to be above it, and it stuck for a long time, even after they removed Heaven from that position. Us Finns call that position "Mellu" after Finnish 1.6 player Tony "Melvin" Kåla
This was comparable to the video Penguin made on obsolete callouts, but instead focused on the pro named ones, but you have to preface that these callouts are not used by everyone. Congratulations on the sponser.
In Valorant, in the map "Breeze", there are two pyramids who many people call "boobs" or "tits" until Riot put icons on them to signify which pyramid is which. I don't remember what they called it because I kept calling it boobs.
When I was on a team back in 2020, any spot we couldn't agree on a callout we called Hunden. There were a lot of places called Hunden. We were not a very good team.
I'm sure your world map explanation has validity but I'll give another explanation for the callout Africa: Positions in a forward "one and done" ct mid cubby are often called Africa. In nuke, outside functions as a mid, and so a position that is "dangerous and out in the middle of nowhere" is called Africa. Another example is Africa on mid ancient (The ct cubby opposite donut). I like standardized callouts like this as new map rotations become more common, easy to remember callouts are great!
Callouts that are very specific are used at the higher levels to cut the reaction time from teammates to locate and trade your teammates. If you get specific then it gives you an advantage. For example saying he’s on site is way too generic vs if you say someone is new box or triple that’s quality call outs
It's fun to watch this video as a South American player, because the call outs here sometimes can be a huge mix of Spanish, Portuguese and English which can get REALLY chaotic on 10-10 rounds and such, just hearing 3 different call outs for the same place and your brain still can know the place it's quite beautiful My fav ones are some of the "Connector" call outs, which of course some use "Conector" as call out but in portuguese is "Liga", shortened from "Ligação" and in spanish some people use "Z" or "S", since some of those are shaped like that or just short "Conector" to "Cone"
0:39 I instinctively said no at the exact same time as the video. I literally had to rewind to see if anything was said before I synced it up perfectly.
@@Jmvars it IS called CT vent, the other one closer to the T side is called T vent. This is an absolutely ancient callout from the original counter strike.
Me and my bro are calling new position on Vertigo (beteween A plant site and contruction site) "hooynya" which is basicly the way you call anything the name of which you forgot at the moment or just dont know in russian. So our speech can be translated as "one in that fucking thing"
The weirdest one I remember is under the stairs in Vertigo's B ramp. It's called 'Jamaica'. A finnish broadcaster for cs games started calling it that, because he met a guy in matchmaking that played only in that position for the entire game. He then checked his steam profile to see he had hundreds of hours on cs, playing exclusively only Vertigo, from that spot. He had the Jamaican flag in his profile, so he just started calling it that during streams, and it stuck.
I haven't played siege in a minute, but there used to be like 3 different "Kanine" callouts (chalet balcony outside big window, clubhouse blue stairs and one more i dont recall). Pretty strange because, much like aZn, he was just a player of little renown lol
Sorry to point it out but the ramp on nuke isn't called mega because of megatron but is actually a reference to Megaton, a swedish 1.6 player and as an australian I have no idea why we call it this when everyone else doesn't, but to his credit megaton had a sick 1v4 with a deagle there
Always loved callouts being named after a player, really gives a sense of community. I remember in a game I used to play there was a building called "Siren" because before it had an actual name a player named Sirenburst would camp out there and it stuck.
i can't remember far back enough to say whether f0rest and get_right played b mirage together but presumably get_right is called that because opposite to it is jail, which used to be f0rest
I think when you play on a team, you end up having 10x stranger callouts. A few I can think of off the top of my head: Diggity (Mirage): Directly out of connector and jungle (basically the spot next to stairs) Weinertopia (Overpass): The no man's land in between monster and T spawn Beck (Overpass): The indoor area between fountain and T spawn (named after a lawn mower in that area) Bitch (Inferno): The most direct spot to the right from moto on the A site Good times, would recommend
11:00 I always thought it was called “x-box” for “cross-box”, kind of like “x-ing” is short for crossing. Because it’s how you cross mid from lower idk
10:03 Coldzera box? You mean Moto box? Related to Inferno, I still refer to the spot next to library as "mini pit" even though there hasn't been a pit there in ages.
Ironically enough I have heard some of these callouts but only from people that played nearly every day, meanwhile I just fumbled through callouts describing them as literal as possible and people seemed to understand.
We used to call the Dust II box, "ninja", as well. I feel so old... I remember during the early acts of Valorant, people incorporated the Shroud callout for any stack of boxes that was tuck in a corner. Over the years there were also two callouts with players name in Valorant! One is "Hiko" for the map Icebox and the other is "ardiis" for the map Ascent; well idk about others but we use it in our group hahaha
1:00 - Second vents 3:10 - Gay position 5:28 - Gla1ve (blue box) 9:10 - close slope (gay position 1 on A site) 9:54 - Edward and guardian 10:05 - box on site (also known as gay position) 10:20 - mexico or vietnam 12:30 - gandalf or also gay position (ninja too)
Also in voice comms i've heard some pros call the spot on mirage next to arches with the gun boxes Moddii after the swedish pro but idk why just another obscure one i thought i'd share
Most of the oldest callouts on Nuke are from 1.6, some are named after pro players at the time because a sick frag happened, others are just because Nuke back then was crazy different from the CSGO and CS2 versions
Warzone also had some funny callouts, me and my friends were not surprised when we found out other people called the same green building with a slanted roof "IHOP", what surprised us is people also used to call the same POI in Rebirth Island "Grandma's House"
Yes, Gandalf is called that because of the whole “You shall not pass”-ness of the position. As for why that area is not known as ninja, that is because the corner across from Gandalf with all of the baskets to stand on is called ninja. That’s how I learned it anyway, and how I’ve heard it called for years to this day.
as a european faceit lvl 10 I have to tell you that all callouts except olof, shroud, nbk, africa are just wrong and you should do your research correctly
@@valentesolis9212 wow the region which is historically the main hub of developpement of a game and where most of its player base is don't think the NA call out are representative of the main way some call outs are called by most, and people even dare to notice it 🤯🤯🤯
@@Ruffnecknarwhal N.A. cs channel uses N.A. calls what a shocker 😱😱😱. And Europe being the Mecca of counter strike has literally zero to do with anything seeing as this entire video and channel are geared toward N.A. fans that’s like getting mad at an American tv show calling it the trash can instead of the rubbish bin . He didn’t dare to point out they were different as you said he called them false which is wrong in the context of N.A. which this video is . So to call them false because he didn’t cater towards Europeans is just idiotic
@valentesolis9212 so it is true, but for a minority 🤷♂️ draw your conclusion from it. It's a shame tho, given there would have been maaaaany fun european call out to speak about too
theres an old clip I wish you included from old Rank S days on OCEAN's stream. The EU pros were in the states for a tournament and Nitro dies and says "hes olof"! A second passes then everyone starts laughing realizing that olof is on their team. I remember some time in maybe 2017 or 18 Tarik was playing train on stream with olof and asked him how he got something named after him. He started calling back red next to e-box "tarik". I used to hear guys call it that in faceit until it got removed.
I'm from Brazil, I remember this one time in PS4 Siege, we were playing Clubhouse and there's this room on the second floor with a german flag on the wall, I was in a clutch situation and my friend gave me a callout saying "7x1" which I have never heard before, I lost and of course I get really angry over that because we always called that germany. But he said that's the callout everyone uses, and by that time I was playing siege consistently everyday and watching pro league (RIP) and I ve never heard it, but we kept using that callout because that clutch costed us the match so it kinda became an inside joke for us, a few years later I was playing siege on PC and a considerable amount of people were calling that "7x1". I like to think me and my buddies were the reason for that.
On bottom mid Inferno, I've always called "Mexico" underpass, and used Mexico to refer to the flat area where you come out of underpass, since there was the guitar playing and it just kinda fit the vibe of the area.

Fun fact: There is also a Shroud callout on Ascent in Valorant. The only reason is because it resembles the CS location.
There's another map in CS where we call a cave entrance area "Shroud" I don't know why this one exists. Some people call it "Jaguar"
Broky isn't the box, it's the position when you first step out of temple, it needs that distinction as it's such a strong angle for awps

Finally someone who knows it's called arches!
10:03 ive never heard coldzera box, all i have ever heard is the callout "hitler"
What why💀
@@jos6525He was hiding in a bunker and was an idiot. Kinda like the noob sitting in that corner box.
Your pfp is very fitting for asking this haha@@jos6525
0:39 I instinctively said no at the exact same time as the video. I literally had to rewind to see if anything was said before I synced it up perfectly.
I've never heard anyone call that asian(or azn), people actually call it second vent, useless vent, fake vent or other vent.
ong ive heard it being called gay vent
@@zaneverovati our group calls it CT vent
It's an NA callout
@@Leon-jx8wc yea that would make sense tbh since I haven't heard it.
@@Jmvars it IS called CT vent, the other one closer to the T side is called T vent. This is an absolutely ancient callout from the original counter strike.
Me and my bro are calling new position on Vertigo (beteween A plant site and contruction site) "hooynya" which is basicly the way you call anything the name of which you forgot at the moment or just dont know in russian. So our speech can be translated as "one in that fucking thing"
The weirdest one I remember is under the stairs in Vertigo's B ramp. It's called 'Jamaica'. A finnish broadcaster for cs games started calling it that, because he met a guy in matchmaking that played only in that position for the entire game. He then checked his steam profile to see he had hundreds of hours on cs, playing exclusively only Vertigo, from that spot. He had the Jamaican flag in his profile, so he just started calling it that during streams, and it stuck.
I haven't played siege in a minute, but there used to be like 3 different "Kanine" callouts (chalet balcony outside big window, clubhouse blue stairs and one more i dont recall). Pretty strange because, much like aZn, he was just a player of little renown lol
Sorry to point it out but the ramp on nuke isn't called mega because of megatron but is actually a reference to Megaton, a swedish 1.6 player and as an australian I have no idea why we call it this when everyone else doesn't, but to his credit megaton had a sick 1v4 with a deagle there
Relative call outs work fine on community maps, but “he’s there” never communicates anything useful
1:10 never Heard fake vent amor ct vent
i though it was get wrong lmaooooooooooooooo
fun fact: Mexico on inferno, is called "rat" in polish (or at least that's how my friends call it)
we do the same in brazil
I am so happy we got a new upload YIPPIEEE
Always loved callouts being named after a player, really gives a sense of community. I remember in a game I used to play there was a building called "Siren" because before it had an actual name a player named Sirenburst would camp out there and it stuck.
i can't remember far back enough to say whether f0rest and get_right played b mirage together but presumably get_right is called that because opposite to it is jail, which used to be f0rest
I think when you play on a team, you end up having 10x stranger callouts. A few I can think of off the top of my head:
Diggity (Mirage): Directly out of connector and jungle (basically the spot next to stairs)
Weinertopia (Overpass): The no man's land in between monster and T spawn
Beck (Overpass): The indoor area between fountain and T spawn (named after a lawn mower in that area)
Bitch (Inferno): The most direct spot to the right from moto on the A site
Good times, would recommend
11:00 I always thought it was called “x-box” for “cross-box”, kind of like “x-ing” is short for crossing.
Because it’s how you cross mid from lower idk
The worst esports callout belongs to Siege with "Kids". No context required.
"Flashing kids" "rush kids" "watching kids" "hidden camera in kids"
@@lukasg1578 rumors were they had to change the name because of casters/players specifically saying "he's in kids"
wow.....I don't even...wtf?
10:03 Coldzera box? You mean Moto box?
Related to Inferno, I still refer to the spot next to library as "mini pit" even though there hasn't been a pit there in ages.
Ironically enough I have heard some of these callouts but only from people that played nearly every day, meanwhile I just fumbled through callouts describing them as literal as possible and people seemed to understand.
Fun fact: In sweden we call "lurk" "grims" because there was a swedish player named grims way back that always lurked.
Called PHY the goat and, scientifically speaking, it stuck
you know thank valve there is a callout names below our map in cs2 rather than we spitting pro names
We used to call the Dust II box, "ninja", as well. I feel so old...
I remember during the early acts of Valorant, people incorporated the Shroud callout for any stack of boxes that was tuck in a corner. Over the years there were also two callouts with players name in Valorant! One is "Hiko" for the map Icebox and the other is "ardiis" for the map Ascent; well idk about others but we use it in our group hahaha
1:00 - Second vents
3:10 - Gay position
5:28 - Gla1ve (blue box)
9:10 - close slope (gay position 1 on A site)
9:54 - Edward and guardian
10:05 - box on site (also known as gay position)
10:20 - mexico or vietnam
12:30 - gandalf or also gay position (ninja too)
YES DUDE! That Nuke spot is called Gay spot by many. That's what I've been calling it since 2015.
Lmaooo I called it gay spot too
1:00 is also a gay spot dude
I guess it's universal, I also call them gay spots
It's cool to see you give hommage to the OG 1.6 generation alot of those callouts came from. Same with "Motto" on inferno
Also in voice comms i've heard some pros call the spot on mirage next to arches with the gun boxes Moddii after the swedish pro but idk why just another obscure one i thought i'd share
I call the fake vent spot Gandalf
Most of the oldest callouts on Nuke are from 1.6, some are named after pro players at the time because a sick frag happened, others are just because Nuke back then was crazy different from the CSGO and CS2 versions
I do the opposite of esports player callouts, but using my friends names. and then when ppl get mad at me I call them stupid for not knowing
there’s a few other valorant callouts that are pretty common now, the corner opposite the switch on a door is called ardiis for his clutch vs drx
cat for short is such an underrated joke that im not even sure it was intentional
True. In the OG CS, on Dust, everyone I know who played the map called the Underpass as "Bridge" and we just when along with it.
7:07 nice amount of foreshadowing with the "cloud9 has done it"
Warzone also had some funny callouts, me and my friends were not surprised when we found out other people called the same green building with a slanted roof "IHOP", what surprised us is people also used to call the same POI in Rebirth Island "Grandma's House"
The vent in nuke is CT vent in rest of the world.
Donut on Ancient is Homer. At least what I call it.
ive always called the spot on nuke "2nd Vent" lmao
Is Gandalf not when you stand on top of the ninja box?
Yes, Gandalf is called that because of the whole “You shall not pass”-ness of the position. As for why that area is not known as ninja, that is because the corner across from Gandalf with all of the baskets to stand on is called ninja. That’s how I learned it anyway, and how I’ve heard it called for years to this day.
as a european faceit lvl 10 I have to tell you that all callouts except olof, shroud, nbk, africa are just wrong and you should do your research correctly
Yes I agree, this is all too random, but it's because he's from NA, also Africa is often call sandwich
Wow a different region has different call outs 🤯🤯🤯🤯 who would’ve thought
@@valentesolis9212 wow the region which is historically the main hub of developpement of a game and where most of its player base is don't think the NA call out are representative of the main way some call outs are called by most, and people even dare to notice it 🤯🤯🤯
@@Ruffnecknarwhal N.A. cs channel uses N.A. calls what a shocker 😱😱😱. And Europe being the Mecca of counter strike has literally zero to do with anything seeing as this entire video and channel are geared toward N.A. fans that’s like getting mad at an American tv show calling it the trash can instead of the rubbish bin . He didn’t dare to point out they were different as you said he called them false which is wrong in the context of N.A. which this video is . So to call them false because he didn’t cater towards Europeans is just idiotic
@valentesolis9212 so it is true, but for a minority 🤷♂️ draw your conclusion from it. It's a shame tho, given there would have been maaaaany fun european call out to speak about too
The 5 valorant players laughed at the Ascent joke, I'm all 5 of them
theres an old clip I wish you included from old Rank S days on OCEAN's stream. The EU pros were in the states for a tournament and Nitro dies and says "hes olof"! A second passes then everyone starts laughing realizing that olof is on their team. I remember some time in maybe 2017 or 18 Tarik was playing train on stream with olof and asked him how he got something named after him. He started calling back red next to e-box "tarik". I used to hear guys call it that in faceit until it got removed.
I'm from Brazil, I remember this one time in PS4 Siege, we were playing Clubhouse and there's this room on the second floor with a german flag on the wall, I was in a clutch situation and my friend gave me a callout saying "7x1" which I have never heard before, I lost and of course I get really angry over that because we always called that germany. But he said that's the callout everyone uses, and by that time I was playing siege consistently everyday and watching pro league (RIP) and I ve never heard it, but we kept using that callout because that clutch costed us the match so it kinda became an inside joke for us, a few years later I was playing siege on PC and a considerable amount of people were calling that "7x1". I like to think me and my buddies were the reason for that.
Generally that thumbnail corner in Finland is called "vanha" which means "old", it used to be Old vent but then it got shortened to just old.
The underground tunnel on inferno me and my friends usually call ”bajsränna” in Swedish, it roughly translates to ”shit chute, or poo gutter”
I cant imagine playing cache AND being french at the same time
On bottom mid Inferno, I've always called "Mexico" underpass, and used Mexico to refer to the flat area where you come out of underpass, since there was the guitar playing and it just kinda fit the vibe of the area.
can confirm not a single soul in australia calls that spot on nuke megatron
I've heard people call the big box on ancient "cheese burger" or just "cheese" because the yellow tarp looks like cheese over a burger
