well nivera was playing really great before he got kicked because of valves stupid rule and shox just being a better friend of vitalitys players
Hiko stays in valorant, ScreaM stays in valorant, Nivera stays in valorant, Skadoodle (probably) stays in valorant
Doesnt make him tier 1. Zellsis, FNS, Subroza, and even Vice were on c9. Doesnt make them tier 1 CS players
Do you realize that Nivera never actually played for Vitality when they were successful and he was only a 6th?
Nivera wasn't the main part of their success. Vitality were also good before adding him. But he was a decent addition for sure. I wouldn't call him t1 player cuz he didn't play enough but he had potential to become a solid t1 player with out any doubts
Nivera still has so much potential if he decided to switch back but I don’t see it happening yet till scream and him aren’t on the same team.
He has said that he hasnt really played much CS since getting benched, only valulrante
I know, doesn't mean he still doesn't have potential. He was contracted with Vitality and had to wait to be bought out or contract expire. His comment of him saying "he doesn't want to live in his brother's shadow didn't age that well though."
Tbh it is unfair to call Nitr0 washed because just a year before switching to VAL he was in the #1 team of the world and hltv top 20 , was the only team they couldnt beat
nah its completely fair,he was getting bad at the end,also liquid already fell off hard mid 2020

People are saying Ethan is gonna leave but I don’t know about that. I don’t see any of the NA CS pros really coming back to cs still the NA Valorant bubble bursts or all of the former cs players are pushed out. Not saying they are bad but a lot of them are washed or failed.
My problem with NA VAL is that it’s the same inner circle bubble that NA cs had. Same players cycling between rosters hoping one will finally work.
Scream was underperforming on t2 since 2018 lmao. Nivera got benched because of the toxicity and valve rules about 6 man roaster but he had a great potential skill wise. From this list only Ethan was a good t1 player but he clearly lost motivation to play since EG were doing really bad
if i'm not wrong it was KRL who said that they pick up kyojin instead of nivera because of the toxicity and bad attitude. also before Rpk decided to retire he said that he doesn't want to play with him anymore
Nivera is the only tier 1 csgo player as of now. You can say Hiko too for his time in Liquid and reaching major finals.
U overrated them, none of the tier 1 CS players would leave for Valorant, there is no reason for tier 1 players to switch if they could get a good offer in their comfort zone.
Jamppi left because of the valve ban that he can't play Major, Nivera left because Valve restrict the 6 man roster. Nitro might be lost of motivation.
The rest of the names you mentioned are all washed up in CSGO, such as steel xeppa leaf vanity. They were in a tier 2/3 NA team named Chaos, but they made success in Valorant.
Wise choice
You don't need to be T1 in CSGO to be good in Valorant. Just be good in Valorant to be good in Valorant.
Only t1 players in Val are Ethan(was in top 20)and nitro(one of the best in NA before switching) everyone else was t2 and t3
