Will Valorant take over CSGO?

#1

BackpackVince

In the next 3 years, do you think CSGO will be "replaced" by Valorant as "main" esport FPS game?

Yes or no?

i mean it already did in NA and AS, probably will in SA. EU is probably gonna stay closer to CS in terms of pro play but casually val is beating cs in some countries already

i agree, one of the reason is because valorant easier to play or learn for casual but it is not easy to enjoy because of the smurf

In three years riot will need to have released valorant 4 with the rate they're killing this game.

If you guys don't think that CSGO can stand the test of time, you're blind to what's happening with valorant the past year.

the only way they can take over is with really cool updates such as

proximity voice comms
abolish the rank system
create ability skins / customization
implement a sprint feature
demo review system
remove smurfing
denounce franchising

it’s that simple.

dota isnt even the same game genre, and literally no1 with brains in cs community said that. delusional nerds that couldnt cope with fps games not being the most popular esport said that. valorant will still never be as big as cs, its ok to cope however u need tho

so many angry cs frogs here, literally smells by hltv.org
actually Valorant already took over cs coz Valorant is the world wide game popular in EU, NA, JP, KR, other East Asia, BR, LATAM, Turkey and India.
cs is popular only in Scandinavian branch, irrelevant (poor) CIS region and Brazil. but Valorant will take over cs in Brazil too in a couple of years (1-2), Scandinavia and CIS are both irrelevant and not needed for RIOT

Valorant won't overtake csgo in the next years for sure

Obviously Valorant is more friendly in casual gaming, because its a weeb game you can't deny it

Valorant will surpass cs in Esports too coz of bigger player base and new VCT partnership
you hltv dumbasses don't understand what RIOT is doing, they are making new LOL in fps genre

So you think the franchising will work? Bro LOL and Val has different playerbase, and different "culture".
Valorant player base is more expanded around the world, but do you know that RIGHT NOW IN THIS MOMENT, both games have around 750k players playing? EU cs is bigger, LATAM cs is bigger, and CIS cs is bigger. Other than that, Val is bigger.
But trust me, csgo Esports will prevail valorant esports for long time. Val esports are "hyped" because the pros doesn't even grind that much, and most of them are streaming and chilling. Thats why valorant isn't competitive as much as csgo

ok, only time will show who is right
and yes rito do the same things as in LOL and they will succeed
valorant rapidly grows in Brazil and LATAM due to KRU and LOUD results, cs player base are old mfs, valorant playerbase is much younger thats why it has better future - all kids play valo
valorant pro scene in 2023 will be very competitive

You know nothing about cs then.
If you think LOUD is the reason brazil will make BR val > Br csgo, you are wrong. You don't know how passionate brazilians are to csgo, just Gaules is a great name.
And yes, many kids play val, but casually. Val pro scene isn't that big to bring attencion. Plus, why would you grind hardly, to not enter t1 valorant? It's very unlikely. Tier 2 scene will die, and no one is willing to grind to be picked by a franchised org
