The latest CSGO LAN tournament which was IEM Cologne had a one million dollar prize pool and wasn't even a major so no, Valorant tournaments don't have a bigger prize pool. Pros will stick to where there is money and as of now CSGO still has more money. This is certainly the case for EU and CIS but I'm not sure for NA. I think everyone in NA just got bored of CS.

Hello! I've seen this done for the NBA and it created a pretty solid player ranking so I decided to try it for Valorant.

NA Valorant Pros: http://allourideas.org/NAValorantPros

EMEA Valorant Pros: http://allourideas.org/EMEAValorantPros

So basically, the site will present you 2 players from their respective region. All you have to do is choose the "better" player between the two. There is no criteria on what "better" means so it's up to your opinion on which criteria you would use to pick out the better player.

For the NA survey, players who reached Top 16 in Stage 3 Challengers 1 and Challengers 2 are included. For the EMEA survey, players who reached Top 16 in Stage 3 EU Challengers 1 and EU Challengers 2 PLUS the TR and CIS teams who reached the EMEA Playoffs (GMB, NAVI, FRZ, SMB, OXG, FF) are included.

If you don't know any of the players (which can certainly happen), you can click on "I can't decide" to skip. You can keep answering as much pairs as you want but you can also stop at any time. If this gains traction, I might do the same for KR, JP, BR, SEA, and LATAM as well. At the end of it all, I might get the top players for each region and put them all in one survey.
Thank you for reading my post and participating!

in all seriousness, mine would probably be:
cNed
ScreaM
mixwell
Leo
Boaster

Edit: Right, cNed is Turkish. First off the top of my head would be Derke then instead of him.

As a Liquid fan, I'm sad that they're gone and won't play til October. As a Valorant fan, I've always felt like Liquid wasn't a top tier team. They're a better team than what they were in Iceland, thanks to Soulcas' improvement, but I feel like they still don't operate as a cohesive unit which is evident when they're attacking. They rely on individual skill too much rather than actual strategies. Acend, Gambit, and SMB feel better than Liquid right now so I'm still happy that they'll be the ones representing EMEA.

1. Sentinels
2. Acend
3. Gambit
4. 100T
5. Envy
6. SMB
7. G2
8. VS

Jamppi has until October to master Sova. He's the IGL now so he HAS to learn Sova. If Valorant gets released in China, the current FPX roster will for sure be disbanded. That leaves Liquid a possibility to sign Shao who is a better Jett than Jamppi.

I love Kryptix but he's obviously the one who's going to be cut if Liquid does decide to shake up the roster.

Hot sarcastic takes:
KennyS, NBK, or even fucking xyp9x signs with Liquid.
