S1mple move to valorant is imminent?

#1

Meto

Do u guys think S1mple moving over to Valorant is coming for sure? Sooner or later? Cause tbh i think that 1 or 2 more events that exceeds or peak at 1 million or more concurrent viewers will most certainly do it for him. Cause then its not good move to just stick it out in CS hoping for a new boom that will probably never happen ever again. And tbh i cant see Valorant slowing down anytime soon and plus all that Riot games r just smart af and the dudes know how to run an esport and that is just a fact. So yeah i see him coming over and TAKING over this bishh sooner or later but god i hope some team just throw a mofo BAG at him even maybe Navi can just say f it and gamble hard on valorant and transfer him over there.

Think he feels that he still has more to prove in CS (winning a major)

IEM Cologne is the culmination of the ESL Pro Tour. It has been awarded Major status by ValvE in the past, and is the most iconic event in the CS:GO calendar. However, IEM Cologne 2021 was only an S-tier event: a CS:GO Major is a ValvE-specifically-sanctioned event, which this wasn't.

Actually, it means a lot. Instagram is widely used by both regions while Twitter is very unpopular in CIS.

does masters really count as a major tho cause in cs there is only one every year

I think so cuz its technically the best of international teams and it is for the "best in the world" title.

masters is a build up to Champions which is like the major of valorant

Why would he move when he finally got a good team lol. Imo this navi iteration is the perfect chance for him to score a major and create an era if gambit keeps choking. The addition of b1t and perfecto is like adding magisk into Astralis or adding stewie2k into liquid. For some odd reason they just click

Not happening, he loves cs a lot and plus he definitely isn’t switching if he hasn’t even won a major yet

S1mple at his peak cs doubt he'll leave soon. he also has to keep his viewership

If s1mple or NiKo moves to valorant, its time for tenz & scream back to csgo. Cuz both of them will be nothing.

Anyway, i can see him moving to valorant after he win at least 2 major.

s1mple doesnt like valorant anymore (i think). there was a time he played valorant when he was bored but since few months he didnt even think about it and played other stuff. he might got paid to play the other games tho so money over fun but i doubt that

s1mple really didn't enjoy valo when he tried it out
The utility present in the game can be used to efficiently antistrat him, which he clearly wouldn't enjoy.
I feel like s1mple moving to valo is out of the question at the moment. To him (and to me too tbf), CS:GO is the game with the greater skill requirement, and has a higher value attached to aim. But if he moved to Valo, it'd be over for everybody else!

Lol, people are so dumb, CS will stay here for a long time coming.

The game still got 870k views in its LAN without any support from its publisher. Still is the most played game in Steam despite its chronic problem with cheaters and the lack of content updates.

Theres no reason for any of tier 1 CS players to go to Valorant, only the washed and noones that couldn't find any recent success in the game.

Nahh i dont fully agree with what u said although u r right with some things CS is gonna stay for a long time and that aint a problem it should stay for anlong time but is the comp scene staying forever or in other words will it grow and increase in viewership and business wise and that i cant see happening at all and tbh i dont know how u got that 870k viewers and maybe its true somehow but all i see in CS category is the top stream 20-30k at most and i saw that once last 3 or 4 months the only tine the viewership skyrocketed is when shroud streamed that one day but just games streams r absolutely dead. And also riotgames know how to run shit and valorant contracts and money is just gonna be too much for someone like s1mple to just say nahh im gonna keep playing the game i’ve been playing for a fuckn decade. Tbh its just a matter of time and not only him i bet that one by one tier 1 players will move.

Wut. Tournaments are constantly 200k+ viewers. It's just that CS doesn't have any big individual streamers.

Simple doesn't need valorant he can retire from cs and be a legend, playing a game like valorant will kill his legacy in cs. He can become a streamer and make lots of money.
