Can say the same thing. Val is dead in EU, and Africa and asia

#5 #8 also I don't think you've watched cs in your life mate. I think you also played sudden attack not cs.

Not talking to you, move on with your day thx

Check twitter, Nearly all the former cs players made a reference to the pgl major after Navi won. Shows that CS is a bigger esport than Val, in terms of viewership. Also can't compare amount of players, why? Because riot doesn't release that info, so your assuming playerbase. Also val is popular in Asia because val advertises it there and cs struggled in NA, because of covid and the lack of top tier tournaments in NA. Eu plays csgo because they have worth ethic and they have a stable scene. Like what twistzz said, not many people are trying in NA cs when they can go to valorant and have a even playing field, rather than practicing 10k + hours on cs

You were talking about viewers in lol in the previous comment?

Cs, most popular fps esports, because val players are always open to watching cs again because half of them are from cs. For eg, pgl Stockholm. Cs players and fans imo aren't as interested into watching val. Hence cs has bigger esport than Val. Lck and lpl get millions because LoL is the most popular esport, no denying that, probably not in NA. Lol is literally the icon for games in cn and kr

Would have to disagree, they've gotten double digits basically every single game in VCT, except for the split game against ZETA. I don't think anti strats beat a team. Every team has analyzed each opponent, like they aren't going to go into a game without being prepared. Rather I think it's the pressure making them crumble.

From what I saw, their breeze is actually pretty good. A lot more team-based and lot more strategy involved, would certainly agree.

Drx got unlucky with the final map being split. Once the CT side picks up momentum, it's so hard for the t side to actually comeback into the game, they will need 3-4 rounds in a row which is near impossible for t side. Unlucky with the map selection, maybe would've done better in another map.

I don't think they need roster changes, they just need to sort things out and learn from their mistakes. Pressure gets on the heavy hitters which can only fix by time.

Maybe 2-3 years ago, yes. But south korea has gotten a lot better and is really similar to China or maybe even better. Also their talents are crazy, half of lpls superstars are basically korean.

The 'league of legends' format really hurts the games consistency

The "league of legends" format really hurts teams as they can't play internationally unless they win their region event.
This creates like a "META" bubble similar to 'league'. I think it was G2 who said they had a META bubble in LEC scrim before the playoff, where they vsed certain team and got absolutely destroyed alongside their scrim partners just because their "META" bubble was reading and playing it wrong. This creates inconsistency between regions. Like rn, Asian teams are dominating because theyve read the META in a better way than others and also their location. Like KR can scrim APAC and JP and back and forth.

More 3rd party international Lan events need to come but I don't think esl or blast would come as their cs fan base, is huge, so I do think some organizers need to put a lot of money into prizepools to fix this.

Kinda true, CSGO fans send a lot of death threats to pros and constantly abuse them if they make a mistake or lose especially Brazil and Russian fans.

League in CN and KR is also pretty toxic, some death threats but a lot of abuse and making fun of when they don't qualify for worlds or smthing bad happens.

I can't say anything for valorant, as I barely watch the esports except for my boys in DRX. But from ranked experience, it's much more chill places than league or cs

Yea, all the competiton with prizemoney is in EU. But I really do hope they do the Rio major again. Brazil has toxic fans but they do have passion for the game.

Want DRX to win. Would hop in to DRXs stream where the DRX owner was reacting to DRXs League games live. He seems like a cool guy, shouting when ever the team gets a kill, no matter how bad they're down.

Dude, why are you so mad. Who cares if your higher ranked. Not a single soul cares if your iron or rank 1. Just move on with your day

Depends what day it is, all of the players are inconsistent. Something that started to happen since covid which is unfortunate

I Play a lot of cs ffa and sometimes I hop on val to play dm but yea, it's frustrating when you keep getting shot in the back and when u get spawn killed, but at the end you have to realise that dm isnt about stats and who wins... it's about warming up and practicing.

TLDR: DM isn't about stats and rank, dm is practice and warming up.
