yes but it's mostly europe. Every other region watches valorant more at this point (source: my guesses, but the twitch numbers showed that LOCK//IN had like 2x and at time 4x the amount of viewers ESL Pro League. Still high, but valorant is peak rn)

csgo source 2/ cs2 is confirmed to be happening like weeks from now apparently, there's shit like 128 tick server and an anticheat like faceit, so it's similar to vanguard in a way, and a new matchmaking system, kinda excited for it tbh

If you are referring to RL's article in terms of faceit bit, it exclusively has to do with the matchmaking and not the AC. The article doesn't mention anything about improved VAC

CS2 is going to fail, and will bring more players to Valorant. Nothing amazing and unique is coming out of CS2, and lots of players already shifted over to Val.

It's not gna be a new game which many assuming . Their game engine is old which will be updated + maybe finally 128tick servers / better in-game mm
The name of the game itself will remain the same : csgo
And those shit overpriced skins will also remain which makes valve half a billion each year

Good time to riot improves some basics things in valorant, such as deathmatch, the range, replay (vod review, in the game, or demo), improve the skin shop, because i think this way is prejudicial for people that want old skins like old prime bundle.

Riot will make a new skin bundle each week before adding replays.

its not really csgo 2. Its csgo on source 2

new engine, matchmaking redux, 128 tick servers, etc

Do you know the real reason why League succeeded over Dota and why Valorant will do the same with CS/CSGO? Its because many GIRLS started to become "gamers" and played League, and now FPS which is Val FN OW Apex etc.
Almost majority of just guys used to play Dota/CS back then, but when Females entered the gaming scene, what Guy wouldn't want to game with Girls?
Agree or Big Agree?
Thats the Esports business my friends.

this is right lmao . The general gist is Riot is very good at marketing the game to wide variety of audience. A lot more women play their games as a result. I mean think about it women makes up half the world population. Imagine closing off that entire market. Riot also makes them game easier to get into reaching the casual audience which is the majority.

Increased playerbase of Riot games is because they attract almost all of Asian audience. That matters much more.

#45

? there's women in asia too lol. Half the world population is women. They're doing both. Riot games have world wide appeal and they market their games like that. Which is why they will always be more popular than Valve games.

Could you link data proving that female playerbase percentage in Riot games is significantly bigger than in Valve games?

https://upcomer.com/riot-games-valorants-women

From the article:
Female representation in major esports has been historically small in many other games, including League of Legends. That wasn’t the case with VALORANT. 30 to 40% of VALORANT players are female, according to Archambault. That player base has made it clear that they want a seat at the table when it comes to shaping the VALORANT ecosystem.

this is for valorant. Obviously riot don't release hard numbers but you can clearly see it in in what they try to do with gameschanger and also in valorant games just more girls playing in general.

And how many women are in CS? Even if 10-20%, it's not a big difference.

Also I would expect some data proving that indeed 30-40% of Valorant playerbase are women, not a random article without anything.

#27

while IDK how influential or intentional these games marketed towards females, being accessible for an untapped group whose population that makes up 50% of the world is common business sense

yes this is why riot games are easier to get into for casual audience. They also try to appeal to the chinese mareket cause they're a huge chunk of the world population.

they won't switch back unless Valve support the pro scene. There's no point being in tier 2 or tier 3 in NA, pretty much jobless with no good salary. As for the asian scene there's pretty much no scene other than like mongolia or china lol

If Is a different game the current csgo pros don't gonna change quickly and if it's a super update then it's gonna be just a wave of hype

I’d play it if it was as good of an anti cheat as Valorant.

I’m not about that life of looking to outside “leagues” to fix the problems of a game.

Make me a good game that isn’t rife with cheaters and I’ll play it.
