155k ppl watchin open quafiler sheeeeeesh ngl
good point. However, gaules has been streaming counter-strike since forever and making content as far as 1.6 and commentating older matches from that era such as mibr vs fnatic ESWC 2006. Shroud is more of a journeyman, stream to the highest bidder guy. Cannot compare someone who is the unofficial commentator for br scene to someone that jumps game to game.
At least I am decent enough to admit valorant is an interesting prospect unlike valorant fans such as yourself who look down on us and mock us for enjoying a dead game despite me listening to counter-strike being dead ringtone since 2009 which I think highlights who is more rational without being condescending to one or the other.
They are clowns. They don't care about the game prospering. Cheating scandal? B-b-but csgo!!! Matchfixers, ex cheaters, rapists running the scene? B-b-but csgo!!!! Garbage gun mechanics? What do you want? Good mechanics like dead game!!!!!! Shit matchmaking? B-b-but csgo cheaters wahhhhh!!!! Garbage community? Bbbbbut somebody on hltv called me monke!!!!!!
They don't care about Valorant, all they want js CSGO to die, the place where their scene got humiliated, because they always acted like monkeys, all the br fans, and then the got to stfu, now they are seething at csgo.
Before he started paying for streaming the higher tier events he streamed for free in particular his former experiences(coach in mibr, g3x as player) in the game and subsequently moving on to streaming local br matches. Shroud is partnered with Riot and therefore being paid by them why is it so difficult to understand this? I am not saying he is wrong I am just stating the facts
Ok, now please, prove what you are saying. It is difficult, because makes no sense the guy with the bigger fanbase paying to stream and the guy with the smaller one getting paid to do the same thing, makes no sense at all. Everybody just wants to have the chance to jump on hype train of valorant masters, there are multiple clips of shroud talking to seangares and other people if he would be able to get riots permission to stream, a few number os streamers were given permission, how the hell are they getting paid if they have to ask for permission to stream? Gaules only got his permission on saturday, with 1 week of masters behind. You are delusional, give me some proof that he is being paid, because in the logical sense, everything points to him being not.

Still double, huh? Does that mean valorant is double dead?
Just admit it, you don't care about the game flourishing, or making an impact or improving. All you care about is CSGO dying. You've actually never criticised riot and whenever I do so you call me a "csgo shill". This game needs improvements, a lot of them if it doesn't want to die. Yet, people like you act like everything is perfect even though the playerbased is constantly leaving and the only thing saving the game is the F2P aspect, which is not sustainable, because it means that people who play the game, stop playing it and never come back, and there are only so many people you can recycle.
Either stfu on what I have to say or fuck off and jerk off to some statistics like an idiot.
This hekzy guy always trying to downgrade valorant while overestimating CS. Why? Idk. His points almost always makes 0 sense, he knows that streamers end up casting games they like to play or are good at it. Complains about shround in Valorant, but doesn't complain about gaules in CS, 100% biased. And Gaules is even more important to CS, he streams everygame, and he has more viewers than shroud in a normal basis. Gaules is more important to CS than Shroud is for valorant, he is actually bigger than CS itself here in brazil. If you come up with this shroud excuse for Valorant being more popular one more time, at least be honest and point that CS has the same thing, even worse.
good point. However, gaules has been streaming counter-strike since forever and making content as far as 1.6 and commentating older matches from that era such as mibr vs fnatic ESWC 2006. He is the de-facto counter-strike streamer. Shroud is more of a journeyman, stream to the highest bidder guy. He even bashes CSGO whenever he pleases.
Good point, does Shroud have a contract to valorant for streaming? Because I don't think gaules even has for counter-strike as he was a former pro in cs1.6 playing for g3x and then eventually managing mibr. This amplifies my point that Shroud is a journeyman, someone that streams to the highest bidder in this case Riot is the highest bidder. Now it is Valorant, tomorrow he might be streaming battlefield 2042 more regularly. Throughout gaules career he has never streamed anything more than CS.
No, she gets more viewers streaming masters, it was the most hyped event on the internet, she would be losing if she didn't stream, not the other way around, Val Masters gave her viewers, not the opposite. You think pokimane is getting viewers to valorant? NO. Valorant biggest events are giving viewers and Subs to poki, if she is just a little bit smart, wich I think she is, she of course would stream the biggest internet event of the month, otherwise she would be very stupid and not concerned for his carrer, it's a game she plays constantly and an event that would give her subs, she should be paying Riot to stream valorant, why do you think the oposite is true? Did u know that Gaules pays for transmission rights to most of the CSGO tournaments he watches?
Nice. Nobody is co-streaming Version1 or Andbox. 24k viewers and 3k viewers. You guys are literally clowns. Where are those 50k people that watch from shroud? That's right, they don't care about the game.
Wake the fuck up man. This esport is losing all integrity, it's become jake paul boxing fights of esports.
Again they do but not the amount of numbers your implying. For the 2017 krakow major as can be seen here:
https://escharts.com/tournaments/csgo/pgl-major-krakow-2017
https://escharts.com/tournaments/csgo/eleague-major-2018
only 900k viewers but during major eleague C9 vs FaZE it was about one million. It depends who is playing the game, the hype, the storyline. At most maybe 50k boost is my speculation and it might be higher or lower but nowhere to the numbers you think they are. People want to watch their favorite teams play, if they aren't on people get put out.
