The 3-way CNFPS Situation

CS2 (Valve), VALORANT (Riot), CrossFire (SmileGate) trying to fight each other for China FPS Scene domination
each became reactive to each other, all it took was VALORANT to launch in China

• July 12: VALORANT launches in China

• July 14: During Tencent Summit, TJ Sports confirms bringing VCT International to China

• The same day: few minutes after that, CrossFire shows up to announced 2024 franchising rework for the first time in 5 years + Worlds back to China after 4 years

• July 23: Rumors of Valve targeting a China CS2 major in 2024 surfaced

• July 28: Riot undercuts this by announcing Masters Shanghai

• EDIT: The next expected move would be Valve to announced launch date, and Perfect World has to announced theirs as well

so american company, chinese company, and korean company trying to fight for Chinese fanbase? Who will win i wonder...

Bold of these foreign companies thinks that they can compete with Tencent on their home soil.

just hop on bilibili/huya and it's clear CS and CrossFire have already lost the streaming market to Valorant

china doesnt deserve any events. they have dogshit teams just like my home region NA. LANs should be held in the best region (EU)

Crossfire good for domestic market, CS only cares about western countries with China the only asian country and Valorant cares international market.
Priority Wise Valorant > Crossfire > CS

CSGOMEGALUL in China kkkkkkk

CSGOMEGALUL = EU and BR and that's it

We can't even call it a global esport anymore xD

There was rumours that the second proposed 2023 csgo major was going to be shanghai but then due to some complications it was going to be Singapore.
Which then got eventually cancelled due to cs2
