i dont really know, if he started on val im impressed to be honest, same with al0rante, sadly he didnt make it tier 1 but valorant was his first shooter and is pretty good imo
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
aspas did play cs but i dont think it was in the competitive scene
pancada was a crossfire pro
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)
less played lol and csgo before valorant (he played 1.6 with his father and used to be mocked because his nickname was literally 'i have 4yo')
he said in a podcast
Less played casual LoL
Pancada played crossfire professionally
Aspas played CSGO
everyone on acend played cs at some point, starxo and cned are faceit level 10, zeek has a bunch of cs clips in his yt channel
aspas was a gc demon iirc, pancada played cf, rest idk
Playing cs doesn't mean they were professional players, legit everyone played cs in their youth lmao. It was the only tac fps worth playing
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
I’m sure they have all played Clash Royale on their phones too and that doesn’t mean they come from Clash Royal if you get what I mean
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?
Sacy started in CS Source. Saadhak tried a spot on Csgo major in 2018~19
Skrossi: Crossfire
T3xture: Overwatch
Ayrin: Crossfire
Bazzi: Overwatch
Fun fact: SkRossi was the National Champion from India while his IGL Ayrin was the World Champion.
skrossi also played csgo professionally later on though, but yes his playtime in cs is much less compared to other csgo pros
Mwzera , cned=zula gods. Chronicle played diff games (r6, cs etc and said that he dont like cs)
People used tj think nats cheat in esea but unfortunately cis was filled with bunch of players and no org wanted to make roster change so man didnt get a chance
I feel like cs scene in some regions were super unhealthy. Like some ppl never got a fair shot at tier 1.
literally nothing, valo is his very pro first game. he played cs and was a silver or something, mostly with his friends. some fighting games with his friends. valorant its the first game he got good at, started pisslow silver as well.
I think in a few years this will be the main direction. less washed up cs outcasts, more people who play valo as their first game.
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.
zeken has literally said he barely spent any time in csgo and the timed he did spent was just casual fun
Do you want me to prove that he was faceit lvl 10 or will you just take my word for it
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.
Less, Sacy, Pancada, Saadhack, QCK, Mwzera, Mazin, Dgzin, Murizz, Frz, Khalil ...
Lol do cs frogs Even follow valorant. The scene is drastically different. And ppl come from all shooters
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.
wrong wrong wrong. why does everyone keep being wrong. his last game might not be CS but Shao literally has an hltv profile
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
Shao
Jinggg
I think Suygetsu was casual Osu player, idk if he played CS tho, still lack information about him.
Skrossi: Crossfire
T3xture: Overwatch
Ayrin: Crossfire
Bazzi: Overwatch
Fun fact: SkRossi was the National Champion from India while his IGL Ayrin was the World Champion.
