Bigger than valorant
Imagine if they dont with this https://twitter.com/ValorantEsports/status/1433807918604849156
plastic game
So Gaules doesn't count for CS? He co-streams, gets more views than oficial streams, wait, there's no BR oficial streams for CS, I forgot. Still. Gaules is bigger than CS itself in Brazil, and no, Riot does not pay the streamers, it's actually the other way around, they have to get permission from Riot to stream and only a few chosen people are allowed, you know why? Because Valorant tournaments boosts the viewers of every single one of the co-streamers that stream it. Shround had 300k last masters, normaly he gets 35k. Grow up. Stop hating. CS is dying.
You compare 1 co-stream (gaules) to 35 co streams xDD, gaules have been doing that for years + as you said he is like the official br official stream.
Riot doesnt pay the streamers directly, but indirectly, (subs,ads) why do u think drdirspect asked for permissions? cause he saw shroud nombers and he want money. Did you check emea viewers? lmao what a dead game without co-streams go and check the stats
