If i remember correctly nitr0 also said why he switch to cs because neon was coming and he thought meta will be changed and you have learn everything again so
that means in VAL you have to keep grinding and be creative to stay at top in comparison to CS
we have seen this with sen and 100T plus many different teams
and no hate to CS but nitr0 didnt played for more than 1 year yet he still playing in major so .....
cs you can hard carry really hard with mechanics. In valorant you can but to a lesser extent you need to always be the better team which is why it can be inconsistent because you're depending on all 5 to be top of their game at all time.. Its just super punishing in valorant to lose a member because they can be the only smoke, sentinel, or initiator and you're kinda fuck with your strats for that round.
arecyc [#5]its not hard at all to qual to major from NA tho
I mean you have to be Top 6, but yeah since Valorant came out NA CS hasn’t been the same

I agree I think thats what chet said in interview and people misinterpreted that
juraf [#6]bad post bc nitro missed csgo meta changes and he is performing way worse, just bc he qualified to major doesnt mean much cuz he did it through NA
why astralis won 3 majors in a row?

Yeah, all Americans team (including BR and LATAM teams except FURIA) are much worse than EU teams. EU teams just way above other regions atm. Even teams that missed this major (mouz, fnatic, etc) still better than those American teams
fardeengg [#9]why astralis won 3 majors in a row?
Maybe they were good at the game. Thats just me tho

they made the meta, basically invented double HE setups on inferno and stayed ahead of everyone else for a long time
Well yeah, the reason CSGO is known as one of the most competitive games is because there are no big changes. Everybody knows the strats, where and how to smoke, flash, molly, etc. It's so set in stone, you have to be well above the rest to stand out with micro play.
Valorant will never be like that, and might appear like that when a special strat comes out that becomes meta in pro play because it's broken, but that will always be temporary.

It is more of an argument from stagnation from an esports perspective- considering how teams can stay on top in CS longer than in Val, I find Val more entertaining even though CS has the best talent for casters analysts et cetera.
