Guys... Who cares if CSGO's biggest Pro League has more views then an EU Regional Lower Bracket Finals lol. Clearly CSGO is favored in Europe... The fact that Riot even took some of it's market share speaks volumes. Lets see how Berlin & Stockholm does since those 2 are more comparable.

You’re technically qualifying for Masters lol. I get it’s called Challengers but it’s all regional. Now, if Masters has 25k then ok. That’s a whole different thing.

Sinatraa will be the biggest FA signing if SEN drops him.

Damn damn damn. Viva la DAMWON

Lol. Come on bro. Hltv has tons of Val topics. I think both communities need to chill. It’s not that serious. Just another LoL/Dota2 situation and both games will be just fine.

MTP the real deal...

The third party client thing is amazing if you're a real competitive player but, for your average person it's a hassle so. The general population just kind of moves to something else.

Very good look for the CIS scene... Should bring in some nice viewership

Yoru pick right now is a "no-no" lol. 3.0 buffs might help

Need to see more of KR but yeah, I agree

I tried explaining something similar on hltv and boy... The community there is toxic af. I'm now a Valorant fanboy even though Ive been an avid subscriber of hltv since 2017 and watched every major since 2016. Aw well... Can't be fans of two things anymore.

Well said btw

Damn lost to some ookers... Aw well... GGz

Here's some info from Dex about the trademarks they filed and overall just an opinion but. No solid news as of now

Lol this means nothing. Riot can come out and say they have 10 million concurrent players. The truth is in Feb. there's no signs of 26 million anything.

There's no way you can fix those numbers to tell me 26 million unique players showed up last month lol.

You do realize EU doesn't have to completely convert to Valorant. As long as there's a solid fanbase and Riot attracts sponsors and build incentives for orgs (which they are) then what does it matter lol. More than 1 game can exist bro. You have orgs like Vitality, G2, Fnatic, NiP, Alliance, Guild, FPX, etc etc. already in Valorant. And once Riot introduces leagues, ad revenue sharing and everything else thats attractive it'll all work out. The playerbase and talent will grow organically and there's no need to convert CS players to Valorant.

Stop trolling, learn business, and hltv is a great site for CSGO. Enjoy.

Damn... That rd 1 was a real nice ass whooping. GG Ascend

They had an era tbf

Sad day for G2

? Players at the highest level are finding games in under 5 mins. Idk, I think I'm confused by what you mean by "the ranking system tell a lot about a game and valorants doesnt look so well..."

Are you saying the way it's designed?

I mean... That's not true

CSGO is also a 20+ year old franchise... Literally the same game made 3 times and they've built a strong playerbase in 2 decades. The fact that a game not even a year old is even competing is insane in itself.

Spain & Turkey carrying EU scene right now

The only team that's been in big tournaments is Giants Gaming... But --> https://liquipedia.net/valorant/Desafio_Legion

I like some of the logos so I'll be checking those teams out lol.

Team Bonk is worthy of being signed to a tier 1 level organization. So, we'll see... Fnatic, Team Vitality, Team LDLC, Team Heretics, PENTA etc etc. Tons and tons of orgs all around Europe so hopefully someone grabs this amazing squad.

Wow... Japan is ALLLLLLL in on Valorant.

Will watch and support... SEA got a few nice squads

Yeah... sounds like shit

Turkey representing! Love to see it... GG to everyone that's in...

Well, with the ardiis signing it's looking like davidp is there guy... They needed an IGL and Im sure was much cheaper then ScreaM

NiP, forZe & Giants Gaming have a squad... Godsent have a Female team as well... Other then that it's a bunch of pickup teams & smaller orgs. You have to realize that it's much better for orgs to take there time and let the scene develop talent. NA rushed into the scene paying big salaries with no real return atm.

G2 seems to have there starting 5...

EU & CIS are moving pretty slowly... I think eventually the great players will be signed just not at the rate you see with NA, Japan, Thailand etc.
