Val esport will be irrelevant soon

#1

Zeah

After the recent PR disaster involving Riot staff, and with how poorly Riot treats the T2 (or lower) scene, the VALORANT esports scene will die in 2-3 years, probably faster in APAC.

APAC is a DEVELOPING region, not a developed one. Developing regions tend to focus on the grassroots scene, not the highest level of competition. This has been proven in the early days of esports, when supporting community events could generate a lot of hype.
CS2 will not die anywhere in the world.
While the current CS scene is somewhat stagnant (but not really, especially in Europe), Valve seems to have learned a lot about how to treat each region differently from their DOTA 2 scene. This could bring greater value to the upcoming CS2 esport scene.
edit : while for sure the situation is different in csgo, i've read somewhere that cs2 will be more focus on global approach unlike current situation in csgo
I have no idea why Riot is still using Leo Faria, after his failure managing Wild Rift lmao

edit :
my words might be confusing but yes i agree csgo currently is an EU game but with how valve succeed penetrate apac market by dota, they have the recipe alr and will probably doing so to get that global approach.
and no im not csgo player, the last time i played and watch csgo was in 2017

how is it the safest?
In 2-3 years you wont find players like monyet, nephh, Surf anymore since theres 0 cross competition tournaments anyway. These players are also limited to 1-2 teams only bcz or language barrier.
Infact APAC will be the hardest to fall

the money revolved in apac isnt as big in NA, most apac org would pull their involvement from T2 seeing how there is a big investment needed but lack of tournament (6 month of no official tournament?). From team perspective cant get into franchising could be seen as huge loss. Imagine invest so much while only a single team qualified and even worst if the qualified org doesnt match with riot criteria, they will took your talent and gave it into a much more fitting org.

Cause we’re talking 2 different types of genres and CrossFire is their main tactical shooter. Valorant is that niche of tactical shooter and hero shooter. CS can succeed but, it waited too long to try and make it happen. Tencent will make sure VALORANT succeeds in China. Valve, it’s an afterthought.

Bro, Mongolian CS, the most competitive region in Asia literally got 0 pro team, they dont even got paid monthl, they have to matchfix for living
In China, the region has the greatest player base in Asia got only 3 pro team, Tyloo, Rare Atom and Wings up
About Sea, only NKT stands there, paper rex, lucid dream or whatever they all gone because of the ignorance of Valve. If this isnt dead idk what it is

Every org is moving to Europe, team liquid, faze etc.

Bro you said 'CS2 will not die anywhere in the world'.
But the fact is cs is already dead in Asia, dying elsewhere except Europe.
There was a second I thought u are Polish otherwise idk how are you so ignorant to the Asia Csgo scene.
CS is completely dead in Asia, dying elsewhere except Europe, even the boss of Tyloo recognize the dilemma of Asia cs, no investment, no one give a shit include valve. Korean CS is a good example, the ex-MVP PK core is now earning American dollar and having vacation in Hawaii meanwhile, their ex-teammate Xign is now matchfixing for food.

lmao still today,2022 cs easily had a higher viewership compared to Val, and val should have the advantage too because its only 3 events a year so every event feels like a mini major and is way more hyped, but events like cologne and katowice still peaked higher than 2022 Reykjavik and Copenhagen and even events like blast premier spring finals had almost the same viewership as Copenhagen

im saying csgo is currently stagnant except in EU
while the situation in cs2 is still my own prediction but i've read somewhere valve will fully commit for global approach and even though dota almost fully supported by 3rd parties they somehow still doing stuff pretty well (in terms of audiences number). Knowing that fact, i assume valve alr know how to treat every region (except NA, idk anything about NA tbh).
While im not really following the scene so much rn but i've seen some esport journalist covers this topic over and over again in many platform.

realistically the problem for riot is that cs will always have the better esport even tho val is the better game. Cs2 if that gets released will make the esport in cs get even better. I think riot made a mistake with franchising but I get why they did it bc they did it for league. Also another problem for val is that riot will always put more money and resources into league especially worlds.

i wouldn't say val is the better game with cs2 coming,it fixes most of the issues that made cs shittier,if they just do a better casual rank system and add more updates cs2 can def continue competing with val,but its valve so who knows

how do u think the esports scene for val will go tho. Bc in the west they will always b 2nd to cs (especially in eu maybe not na but its na so who cares). In the east they r also always 2nd to league. Maybe they can heavily focus on apac but apac just doesnt have same resources that na, eu, china, or korea has.

This is massive cope lol cs is dead In Asia and it won't grow mainly cause the style of art and such just don't appeal to them. The best cs can do is eu na Brazil. Probably is NA cs already far dead and it will take valve actually doing things to being it back to life.

What are you going to see? People coming to an event lol. Has nothing to do with its playerbase which VALORANT just took a chunk of. Idk. I think there’s this Grand sense of delusion with you guys. Tencent will make sure China has a large market share. Valve should have controlled the market by now but waited 10 years to do a major lol. Ridiculous.

Valve isn’t beating Tencent in a China. They’re powerless.

It will get worse with CS2, riot is supporting Chinese valorant more right now than valve ever have in its entire lifetime. CN gets like, a playoff spot to qualify for the challengers stage of the major every year, some S tier event invites for like 1 team, and that’s it. Riot gave China a whole VCT circuit, and 25% representation at every Masters and Champions event. The difference in support is unreal.

#2 feels like insane copium from a CS fan that their game won’t just be an EU only game. CS2 is basically just the same game with updated graphics and some slightly new mechanics, is it not? Why would they suddenly have the sauce for making it succeed in Asia? SEA/SA have had little support from Valve in the past, and riot built half the countries in the region a solid challengers circuit, JP is firmly a valorant region, China is all Crossfire with a growing crowd for valorant, and Korea have OW, Sudden Attack, and Val. APAC has simple moved on from CS, in the same way NA will in the coming years when the talent pool from NA starts to dry up from all the best young players moving games. We are already starting to see this happen now, there’s barely any NA orgs left and they are kind of just cycling the same players back and forth, or TL just going and becoming an EU roster.
