UPDATE: WINNERS ARE...
Kuchenpeter who was the first person to solve the puzzle and The Python who was the winner of the drawing! The solution is at the bottom. Congratulations to our winners!
We've got 2 more CS:GO beta keys to give away in what could be your last chance to access the game before it goes on sale in around 2 months time! The first person to reach the end of the puzzle will instantly win a beta key. Everyone else who subsequently completes the puzzle will be entered into a draw, which closes on Sunday 17th at 11:59pm EST. A random winner will be chosen shortly after.
The first step of the puzzle is below, good luck and thanks to thelastlambda !
Lambda's Rules: If you are doing the puzzle just for fun, when it says to "click here if you are first," do not click that link if you already have CS:GO. Don't talk, comment, or post anything about the puzzle as it is not necessary and you are only spamming the site.
SOLUTION:
Until next time, which I guarantee will be much, much harder! Muahahahaha... oh wait Glenn has put n probation for a very long time. I will be back... eventually.

Final update: 2nd image updated to be more clear. From what people have said, many people are only looking at the logo image. You should also look at the 'VALVETIME' image and note it's significance. Good luck!SOLUTION:
- Write down the text that was hidden under the logo [HKDSDNDAOFN]
- Open the valvetime_text as a text document
- Acquire the link (isw.db/ZWQdMq)and the passcode "GO!"
- You code decode the rest of the document for fun using binary, base64, hex, and ASCII translator, it was full of either in-jokes or hints on how to get to the next part of the puzzle
- Use a one-time pad using the text under the logo [HKDSDNDAOFN] as the pad and the jumbled link as the message [isw.db/ZWQdMq].
- It will reveal this bit.ly that will take you to this Quiz.
- The answers for the quiz are...
- Lina Inverse
- Zombie Movie
- Voodoo Banshee
- Ragdoll Kung Fu
- 478
- Once the quiz was finished, if you were first, you would be able to see a self-destructing note with specific instructions for the winner.
- If not, you were guided to a steamgifts giveaway where it told you how to be put in the drawing for the other copy.
Until next time, which I guarantee will be much, much harder! Muahahahaha... oh wait Glenn has put n probation for a very long time. I will be back... eventually.
