If u are talking about the blast fall groups, thats just it always is, this event is more laid back compared to big events. Once you reach Cologne and Fall Finals, casting becomes much more serious.

If u are talking about the blast fall groups, thats just it always is, this event is more laid back compared to big events. Once you reach Cologne and Fall Finals, casting becomes much more serious.
Definitely fits the game for sure, just not my taste. I wonder if a change to make it more epic is possible, rn its too cyberlike
No but I hate how spyware Vanguard is
Hmm I respectfully disagree as I think the hype around CS games are insane, but I think Valorant may be more mainstream now, so I can see your point being valid.
I really like the player pic columns in the CS Lan stages tbh, it completely changes everything. As for the music, its personal preference for everyone, but I definitely like more hype and emotional music from ESL.
I think VCT music is too tacky in my opinion, ESL knows good music
The esports scene was big around 2015 and never mainstream and sponsored until around 2018ish when esports started to be taken much more serious
To me, even though Blast production is insane, ESL especially IEM Katowice and Cologne events is better overall: special storyline, music, and also good production! VCT is good too but its just not my taste tbh.
EDIT: After seeing today's VCT Americas LCQ production, I don't really know what to say lol
Which is better? ESL and Blast? Or VCT?

Hmm interesting, i see a lot of young international students who play CS all the time as well
CS2 might revive NA again since Riot isnt doing anything to the tier2 scene
Come join, fun to watch!
Sorry but Valo walkouts were always ehhhh. It needs way more hype, like watching the CS Blast Paris walkouts were insane
CS has S or S+ tournaments every week, should Val copy their format?
Ex. Its the middle of the year and they only have a month break before coming back to compete many huge prizepool tourneys again.
sorry not even close, winning two tourneys in a row is nothing compared to Astralis pure domination for 3 years with 3 Major wins in a row plus other numerous S tier ones like Kato and Cologne, winning the Intel Grand Slam too, which was viewed impossible and talk about in a time it was CS's most competitive era, ex. Liquid, Ence, Vitality, etc.
You also got to note of how many events there are in CS compared to Valorant, not even a joke to say there's S tier touraments every week back to back
If you are clueless, here's a vid:
I disagree, it may look simple from the outside, but if you take a look from the inside, theres so much details with just one utility.
Here’s a video:

CS is a lot more unpredictable, theres more info that you have to predict where as in Valorant its easier because of a certain agent. Also think about lurks in CS vs Valorant for one aspect
CS is raw and simple, that less becomes more with anything being possible stratwise
Snax is a Polish CS legend and is a unit around 6'8'"
Lol that period was one of the most competitive era of CS, Astralis was just too good
Think I worded my title a bit vague, I meant teams that had an era
Im not low enough to scam people unless I specifically hate them
Hands down for me is the Astralis era. Love em or hate em, they were pure domination.
Cologne and Katowice trophies clears both tho
cologne and kato trophy clears tho ngl
Blast's trophies were alright, but they really tried to be different with the major when they didn't need to. Otherwise, they did an amazing job at everything else and Kato/Cologne trophies clears all
Other CS trophies are legit tho, Kato and Cologne trophies
There are plenty of 1Mil CS Tournaments throughout the year, so its not a problem, and its to win the major not the money. If they want the cash, the org will pay them plenty
all of them were such bangers

you mean this one?

Also, I wished the major just had the old theme song, shit was so good.

For me, its ESL CSGO's "The Hero's Journey", what about yours?
https://escharts.com/tournaments/csgo/blasttv-paris-major-2023
1.52 peak viewers, thats not including China which has a decent following for CS and blast.tv viewers that had at least 100k
yea lol I thought that was funny, but I dont mind that tbh. Might be a group stage thing.
I dont think they will ever do that with Valorant. Also while open ceremony is nice, the production of the actual game is mid
Cs2 comes out soon and will receive quite some huge updates like new mm, anti cheat system, etc.
Its because how old and messy the csgo code was that it was hard to update it. Now the infrastructure is modern so updates will be much more frequent. I barely scratched the surface, Im sure they will be so many new updates.
What im excited though is not the standard gameplay but the community servers with new mods.
True but I guess its due to the seeding and bracket of the games as I dont think its chosen manually which is a shame
