Tf you mean lol

Just a small sample, there’s 10 world champions rn
Starxo Fortnite
Zeek Fortnite
cned: weird Turkish FPS shooter idk about if I’m not wrong
Kiles: CS
Bonecold: CS

Brazilians help (edit: ty)
Less: Casual CS and LOL
Sacy: LOL
Pancada: Crossfire
Aspas: Cs
Saadhack: Paladins

So that means out of the 10 world champions only 4 used to regularly play CS, and many of them was just casual

He was really good... he managed to get 2nd place and a top 4 in the 2 majors he played

the one he finished 2nd, he lost the final to the dgzin, mazin and mNdS team (dgzin and mazin are in FURIA and mNdS are in Tropicaos - Playing Challengers BR to get to Ascension)

But there’s not people better than them here. So you’re either suggesting that any CS pro would be World Champion in Valorant or that they’re skill was not just acquired in Cs

Idk, bro. Most of International valo champions came from csgo

Sen Team (-Zombs)
Gambit: Nats and Redgar
Acend had Bonecold and Kiles (Cned also were an FPL player which is a semi-pro circuit)
Entire Optic team (Most dominant Valorant Team Ever)
FPX: Shao, Ardiis, ANGE1
LOUD: Aspas and Sacy (CS:Source) + Saadhak tried to qualify for 3 CSGO Majors

ok but if you are literally the highest rank on faceit, practically right below semi-pro (basically radiant/high immo 3 equivalent), then are you not from csgo?

wow. you're completely wrong lmfao. first of all, zekken hit LE in csgo, and he was also faceit lvl 10. second, placements were very fucked in beta. he was immo 3 in ep 1 act 1 but yes he did place silver in the beta.

unless a player was playing professionally in cs and was getting paid as a t2 or t3 pro their time spent in cs is as good as my time spent on clash of clans

There’s a difference between being a casual low elo bot and being a radiant or faceit lvl 10 that hasn’t gone professional. Being a faceit lvl 10 gives you all the mechanics you need to go pro in Valorant. At that point, it’s just game sense and understanding of the game. It’s significantly different than transferring from a game and needing to learn the spray patterns, movement, etc.

Depends what you mean. There are plenty of pros that didn’t play professionally but hit faceit lvl 10 on CS or did play a lot of CS like Zyppan, cNed, Sayaplayer, etc.

theres some people claiming some people didn't start with cs, so i just wanna clarify some of those names.

Zyppan, zekken, aspas, Sayaplayer, and nAts all played cs:go. not all of them were pro/semi-pro tho. these guys all reached the highest rank on third-party services like faceit/esea tho.

edit: ill add more to the list whenever i see someone mention a wrong name
