n1cf try not having brainrot and shit threads (challenge impossible)
Plus there are so many 3rd party TOs for CS as Valve only handles the Major system. It is not very centralized, so people can tune in to so many events
I think it would take a financial hit, but for viewership itself i really dont think tier1 would be affected that much
Gambling degens mostly only really applies to tier 2/3 tournaments. Most people dont care about those tournaments. So I think you are really exaggerating and blowing it out of proportion.
Also what does APAC think? Forgot to add
Are these good venues?
They will have crowds during group stages as well for chinese/asian teams which is a huge W.
Thats the average viewer demographic for non tier 1 tournaments
I think you meant fps, yea it will be difficult to compete with EU since CS is a raw esport which means strats and tactics are from the ground up over many years like real sports. However, it’s possible since it just takes a breakthrough team like the Mongolz (Mongolian team) who worked their way up from like top 100 to like top 10
True, also helps anyone can at least understand CS at thr basic level right away in this sense is a real sport
3, every major all regions can increase their slots by getting into playoffs
They wouldnt survive a cs crowd lmao
This is the best Champs song
Why? Did u think masters shanghai was bad?
Are you guys excited for the Shanghai Major in December (First CS major in Asia)? The Chengdu crowd was crazy last time, treating CS pros like super celebrities lmao, could only imagine it will be better in Shanghai. I checked Huya and other Chinese streaming sites and looks like CS is still super popular.

Valorant is a different demographic, a little geeky and beta some people would say. CS fans are like real sports fans, a bit unfair to compare
I dont think so at all, maybe there are little things vct might be better at, but I think its not close at all
True, I feel like Valorant is a side esport hustle for Riot, they only care about League
That is true, but I dont think Valorant will ever have that passion of fans because of the demographic no matter how long
All they have to do is let ESL do some tournaments lol, it would clear Riots production so hard. Greed tbh
Just rewatched this 2024 IEM Cologne final opening ceremony that happened couple days ago, didn't realize at the time how CINEMA it was holyy.
Do you think Valorant should have this style of production? I got chills from the Hans Zimmer style organs music with great visuals.

A game both CS and Valorant community think is actually genuine trash haha

Is this too many events? Personally, I think it is for pros but they can skip events and ofc for us viewers more tourneys is a W
How do you like stepping needles in SF and smelling poo in Mumbai?
Hooxi(igl), he sat out for this tourney for his sisters wedding. I don’t think hes getting dropped since thatll be fcked up, but I can see it in the future if the team performance dips. Him and Nexa are probably the first two to be dropped.
To me its not, but its weird that its filmed and posted publicly.
2018 to 2019 was the biggest leap IMO. Astralis introduced a new way to play CS with util heavy starts. 2021 to now, the leap isn't as big, but definitely the level is higher still, everyone has to come up ways to beat each other
Wtf, because of Valve making all TOs open circuit in 2025, partnership teams will be dead and new TOs are coming back. A huge W would be Eleague to come back for NA. Imo more tournaments means more growth, will Riot franchising system destroy the esports growth?

My man chose to speak nothing but facts, however I need Valve to major update CS2. It will happen during 2024 or 2025, but wish it was during the launch
If you like donk then Spirit are big favorites, Faze are always a team that delivers entertainment. Eternal Fire are Turkish underdogs that just made history with first ever Turkish team in major playoffs.
No VCT for a period now, will you tune in for the Major tomorrow? Matches already looking better and exciting than the boring Paris major with fluke tier2 teams.
Stage looks cool too, analysts and casters are top of the shipping containers
China got some banger LANs this year, Valorant Masters Shanghai and CS2 IEM Chengdu and Shanghai Major in December
no it was the goat LE TANK....jk
If you are curious of any Valorant player that came from CS and their history, heres a good video. Cheers
he needs a decade of greatness before he even comes cloae to s1mple
People been saying NA is dead for years, well it never died even though its been on its very lows during Covid. EU may be the dominant region right now, but NA orgs are coming back and talent is growing to recover the original tier2 NA pros that went to Valorant. Jba, Swisher, Reck are just a few whose making a name for themselves in NA. Like I said before, since Valorant took all the tier2 NA pros, it takes time to recover that. So for me, I enjoy watching CS more because of the underdog story for NA to beat EU teams, I find that much more interesting. Especially when teams have a big era like 2019 Liquid before, it keeps me in tune to see which tram will spark a light again and change the scene again.
I will keep believing in NA CS, its never dead till its dead. Btw coL still one of the top teams, so idk how a dead region can have a top team
Theres still surf/bhop/kz maps in CS2, but for some reason my community browser is broken so I have to find servers on google
I heard that his real dream was to work with the motorsport industry, and he is currently casting in it. Hes not coming back anytime soon
CS Casting is unmatched, Sadokist was so good I miss him.
