TSM got Noble Levi

That's the thing people don't understand what you said "Cs skill !=valorant skill" I think people are just kind of in denial about this and its understandable since CS has been around for soo long and at face value the similarities between the two games would lead you to believe that one whose good in CS will be good in Val. But since the games aren't a 1:1 comparison, this theory has been proven to not be true. People also just assume that if you weren't tier 1 is CS it was because you lacked the required skill. This is true in some cases, but with a game so established Like CSGO, it can be hard to break thru into the tier 1 scene, especially for the younger developing players in the past 2-3 years. I think Tarik could successfully make the switch especially since unlike many of the other pros he would have had several months to get accustomed to the game before playing professionally.

I think people had that idea mostly at the beginning of the game when nobody could accurately say which ranked demons were actually good or not, so the only thing they could go off of was past game experience, and since Valorant, lets just say took some ideas from CS, most thought that skill would cross over much better than it actually has. Just look at 100T, they have 4 old CS boomers and a mostly Valorant original player in Asuna, though he had some T2 cs experience. When that roster was announced everyone thought they would roll the competition, but now they are disappointingly not rolling other teams and fighting for the best of the rest behind SEN and V1. It's probably because of the puggy playstyle that valorant has, you see a lot more w keying in this game than in cs, and the randomness and comeback potential that abilities have that some cs pros just can't adapt to. That's probably why some OW pros thrive in this game, bc they are used to constant movement, and the minute details like counterstrafing and peeking can be taught easily.

yea i like it
