CS2 #1 in popularity
Val all the way at #9
not by any real metric I've seen, we are building grassroots here vs 20+ years of cs roots. Sure maybe the big dip with the extensive cs2 bugs with movement on release then the explosion of cheaters in premier people stopped for a bit but most probably planned on just waiting till fixes.
We have our own spot and cs has its own, I've experienced both in depth: valorant isnt going anywhere nor is cs and neither has to actually crush the other to grow and prosper.
