In the next 3 years, do you think CSGO will be "replaced" by Valorant as "main" esport FPS game?
Yes or no?
The same question was asked on HLTV forum: https://www.hltv.org/forums/threads/2699018/will-valorant-take-over-csgo
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
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
