thats the other thing, val will never beat CS cause CS has been out longer, has been a center point and blueprint of esports and is also a lot more welcoming

if SEN makes shanghai/champs we'll almost certainly eclipse 1.844 M especially because of china

You realize that CS has a huge audience in china too due to their skins market

last year champs had 1mil viewers from china but they aren't included in esports charts. I doubt cs in china is as big as that

Bro chinese cs is bigger than eu cs. Way bigger. in number of players, number of teams for major open qualifiers. Chinese cs is massive much bigger than you can imagine. Obviously mainly due to skins interest

I'm talking more about china in terms of the viewership thewy would bring to the esports aspect. Is that still bigger than eu?

If they can actually attract indian viewers more. Indian viewership can be crazy from what I know about PUBG mobile and free fire. But Only way to do that is if India gets good at valo somehow.

Masters had 150k+ average viewership, this is shameful. It means basically cs frogs dont give a fuck about the game and only watch the finals

I mean Madrid isn't really comparable to the major AND this doesn't include China viewership (which at the absolute minimum was probably 300k). Champs will have more viewers than the major.

well you compare an old games that have a massive fanbase vs new games that are building their fanbase rn, but it shows that Valorant can almost compete with CS which is impressive because Valorant was just released 4 years ago

I don't get people who make an account to cry about the game they are playing. if CS is that good then go play it instead of Valo. Valorant is young, the viewership has been increasing each year so we'll be fine.
