CSGO to VAl

I think the argument csgo and val are diff games is not that accurate the sen squad ws tier 1 na cs and are able to win coz they already were decent players in csgo also like yeah hiko,scream,ska,auti were better but the past 2 years before val launched they were not even top 25 teams while some almost semi retired
Like there is not a single csgo player who is in the top 10 teams to actually switch
Imo if s1mple or zywoo switched in 1-2 months of prep they could easily beat Sentinels with decent team

wdym?? Sentinels has only 1 tier 1 CS player (SHAZAM)...Get your facts right first.

(Didn't count Tenz as T1 cz he didnt stick around in the scene enough to be judged alongside other tier 1 cs players)

Most EU pros are young and just starting their career. Its not like they are 30 y/o who failed in their CS career and moved here to be called washed up or t3 cs . its just that they didnt stick around for much time in the cs scene and switched very early.

Look at the other t1 cs pros that switched, Scream and Jamppi are disappointing on Liquid, Nitr0 is playing third fiddle to Asuna and Ethan, Ethan is playing second fiddle to Asuna, ska and auti are flailing on T1. Success in cs doesn’t guarantee success in valorant

Maybe because they weren't tier1 teams? nitro and Automatic Skadoodle Ethan could maybe be counted as tier1 players but they had tier 2 teams and didn't really put up a fight against EU ever the only major NA is the rise of cloud9 and was also the fall of Astralis a None existent navi and a inting faze clan.. and only skadoodle and automatic switched from that team to valorant so i dont know where the fuck you coming from but these guys wasn't tier1 teams/players in csgo...

Ethan is the only tier 1 pro who switched to valorant, if 100t had brehze+twistz+elige instead of hiko,nitro and steel they would be farming na, any top 20 hltv pro can dominate the valorant scene after 2 months of training imo.

nitro was part of the grand slam team liquid team, ethan made the hltv top 20 players in 2019, skadoodle was the mvp of the boston major and autimatic was part of the same major winning roster. they all played against tier 1 eu competition throughout their entire career, beating them on multiple occasions, and nitro in particular dominated the global scene as the igl of one of the top 2 teams in the world for 1-2 years. you have no idea what tier 1 cs means you are just mad that na is doing well in an esport and are beating eu teams. just cause they are na doesnt mean they arent good at games

Why the fuck do you compare two different games. There is the possibility that simple shifts to valo but sucks big time (less probable). And also, there are a lot of teenagers(raw talent) who have lived valorant for the past 1.5 yr. A lot of new players will be coming within next year.

I’ve been saying this the whole time, valorant is really just washed up csgo atm.. eu’s best are all still in csgo: device, s1mple, shox , zywoo, Rez, hobbit, etc… the current best for Europe are players like mixwell? Scream ? All pros that couldn’t make in tier 1 cs, same goes for All NA minus Ethan bc he really was the only one still in his prime in cs before he switched, the rest of NA teams are all players who didn’t make the cut, I’m curious to see when the s1mples and the eliges start to make their way over how dominant they’ll be. And yes I know it’s a different game but the mechanics are so very similar.

good argument lol. Just wanted to point this out.. Before any of you call Asuna a no name in csgo, please do ur fkin research.. A lot of the comments are from fkin csgo fan boys.. Try to view this from an unbiased pov.. Asuna was young af and still is young so we didn't even get to witness his best self. You claim S1mple and Zywoo would dominate if they played val.. I would disagree with that. I truly believe that if s1mple and zywoo were to switch to val, OF COURSE they would do good but when you say dominate, I disagree. VAL is a team BASED GAME. NOT EVERYONE has access to smokes and flashbangs. when s1mple was playing valorant in his stream, he mentioned how he dislikes playing reyna, jett and phoenix. His favorite agent is omen. In the pro scene, the agent you play matters.. If you play a duelist, you are more likely to get frags and that is just true. This game has pros from both OW, CS, Fortnite, Apex Legends. Its everything.

"if you're actually serious then CSGO is teh game to watch" you sound dumb af lol... The skill ceiling in valorant is A LOT lower compared to CSGO. This means you have to fkin think before take an action. Aim alone can't carry you that far. Valorant pro scene is still new so idk why you hyping CS that much lol. Probably because you played it at an early age so you wanna hype it up?? My man really said if you are actually serious go watch cs lol. There are fucking hackers infested in CSGO for crying out loud. Even in Pro scene, players have to be monitored. Val will be adding more agents and more maps so we will see a lot more "pro" scene from the Val community. It only has 7 maps.

a lot of misconceptions here so I'll spend some time to clear it up for ya :D

  1. valorant abilities are just gimped versions of utilities anyways so u dont need to think much, phoenix flash + skye flash is 100x easier to use than a single flashbang in CS

  2. no one srs about CS cares about matchmaking, cuz they just spend $5 to play FACEIT or ESEA

  3. funny u brought up agents and maps cuz... look at what Riot is doing, no change to OP agent (jett, skye, sova), never tweaking their map, keeps pumping out garbage maps like Fracture, there was maybe a chance it could be better than CS, but it's pretty obvious at this point that they're not very interested in improving the game soo.. I don't think it will ever surpass CS at this rate ._.

no bcoz they will need time to learn abilities and not all might get comfortable with the abilities
and remember the skill ceiling in terms of gunplay is low in valo so the level would drop and a lot of players will have similar gunskills and it will only come down to skill usage

my point is also that you said they had tier 2 teams, which i forgot to mention. that was my biggest problem when you calling, grand slam tl, major winning c9 and astralis beating eg as tier 2 teams when those teams consistently face off against tier 1 opposition.

Maybe back in 2018/19.
Until EPL14 Liquid were tier 2 and weren't even the Top team in NA. Furia were top for the last year really with EG having a small resurgence last year before Ethan left. As a big EG fan, they havent been Tier 1 since that period of 2019.

Just because a player was tier 1 once doesnt mean they still were when they left. You have to maintain Tier 1. Get_Right and TaZ clearly arent anymore as examples. The top rated player who transitioned was Ethan and at the time EG wasn't a top 10 team, they were struggling to stay in top 20.

The only players who moved to Val from CS that were still playing well against higher tier opponents were Nitr0 and Ethan. Skadoodle and Auti peaked in 2018 and have been trapped in tier 3 NA for a while with brief stints under Daps.

didnt know making it to a major grand final and semi in 2016 and being 10 top global since then was tier 2 and i didnt know that retiring and playing for geng against top class eu teams was considered tier 3 na

As I previously stated. Being good back then does not mean they were Tier 1 when they transitioned to Valorant. Also Gen G was tier 2 and part of the stints under Daps I mentioned. I say that as a huge fan of Daps and follower of his teams.

a lot of misconceptions here so I'll spend some time to clear it up for ya :D

  1. valorant abilities are just gimped versions of utilities anyways so u dont need to think much, phoenix flash + skye flash is 100x easier to use than a single flashbang in CS

  2. no one srs about CS cares about matchmaking, cuz they just spend $5 to play FACEIT or ESEA

  3. funny u brought up agents and maps cuz... look at what Riot is doing, no change to OP agent (jett, skye, sova), never tweaking their map, keeps pumping out garbage maps like Fracture, there was maybe a chance it could be better than CS, but it's pretty obvious at this point that they're not very interested in improving the game soo.. I don't think it will ever surpass CS at this rate ._.

Fracture isn’t an ass map, the only map that needs a rework is split

imagine devs being better at a game they just created vs pros who have never touched it before…

I mean the guy above actually believes being good in cs go equals being a god in valorant and he's not the only one. I'm just giving an example of the opposite
