His electives and curriculum were “primarily focused on computer graphics courses, including subjects like compression algorithms, 3D animation techniques, and image recognition.”
By the fourth beta version, Valve, the developer who created Half-Life, began assisting in the development of Counter-Strike. In 2000, Valve bought the rights to Counter-Strike and hired Le and Cliffe to work with them in Bellevue, Washington, where Le continued to work on Counter-Strike and related games. During this time he was developing Counter-Strike 2, however Valve eventually put this project on hold indefinitely.

In 1996, Le bought id Software’s Quake and started playing with the software development kit. After about a year, he finished his first mod, Navy SEALs. This is Counter-Strike’s spiritual predecessor. He was working on Action Quake 2 and came up with the idea of Counter-Strike. He also became close friends with Jess Cliffe, Action Quake 2’s webmaster, and Marcelo Dilay.
