s0m & FNS streaming CS2 now
should be interesting to see what they think
never forget, almost all of NA's top talent comes from CS (including 3/5ths of EG)
UPDATE: He just ace'd his first round
acels2 [#5]lol they were dogshit at cs1 why would they switch back to cs2
s0m was on the rise. I think Xeppa, leaf, s0m, and Vanity could've overtaken Liquid as America's best team

not without elige or naf joining them
cocoluna [#6]there are no orgs in NA that can pay them anything
orgs have far more incentive to invest in CS in NA now because Riot has destroyed tier 2 and in CS there is a direct path to profits: if a team qualifies for the major, which happens twice a year, they are guaranteed 1.5MIL EUR (minimum) in sticker sales (this is AFTER Valve has taken its cut)

liquid added EU talent because all NA players left for valorant
But if NA players make a switch back to cs2 (which is very possible with the state of tier 2 valorant), then it might revive some NA orgs as well

the other problem i see is they have to compete with brazil for major spots who stinks because I still see more potential in brazil vs NA with all the academy teams and stuff.
moshimoshiman24 [#18]na cs is dead buddy. everyone in na went to val bc they got spanked and couldnt cut it in cs. also only ethan is from cs on eg and quite frankly the best cs player to come to val with only scream being as good in cs.
they went to cs because covid killed na cs. valorant better for na viewership, childe gamers like childe strimmers
