The Best CS: GO Design Series
CSGO-top.com prepared a list of the most famous design sets that can be frequently encountered in matchmaking and other game modes.
Asiimov
Coridium is a famous artist known to the community by his works such as “Neon Revolution,” “Valence,” and others. He is a devoted fan of Isaac Asimov, a famous writer who wrote futuristic books with exciting plots. Once, the designer thought about creating something expressing his appreciation for the genius author of his favorite books. And such an idea initiated the development of the Asiimov skin series for CS: GO. The pattern is unique and represents a great job and a long time spent implementing the concept.
The primary colors are black, orange, and white, and their combination is different for each weapon. White is usually prevalent – covering the guns’ frames and big parts. The black and orange geometric figures (triangles, rectangles, parallelepipeds, etc.) supplement the picture and make the skins look great. Even if the weapon has a lower quality than “factory new,” it doesn’t affect the look much.
So, the Asiimov skin series in CS: GO are provided for the following guns:
- M4A4. The first item added to the game was in a “Winter Offensive” case. There are no factory-new and minimal wear quality for the covert skin, but the other ones also look great. Its price is $30-290 and regularly increases with time.
