2 more questions fro cs refugee

First of all, is there any equivalent of the HLTV top 20 players from last year? If not, can you give me your top 10 at least?

Secondly. Start watching the pro scene (mostly EMEA). What is the community's opinion of talent? For me, coming from CS, it all looks so clean, safe, and kind of fake. Yeah, most CS casters are ex-pro players, which Valorant doesn't have yet. And I guess who's the most highly regarded talent?

Due to the difference in the way roles work in valo, a top 10 list is quite hard to do
But yeah the talent gap between cs and valo in enormous, cs casting is so much better

also if you watch hltv confirmed or talking counter the val equivalent is platchat with a lot of the casters and analysts

Ange1 is top 20, all you need to know

Talent is "eh", there are only a handful of casters that most of the community likes.
