The funny fact is that , at least 85% of valorant pros came from CS (pro , ranked pro , streamer and casual players) , and all the players that are/were goats , came from CS

85% is a gross over-estimation

yes but for it to be 85% then at least ~60% of china has to be from CS which i highly doubt is true

At least 60-70% , but i agree that things changed , Valorant now has a lot of players that came from other games besides Csgo and Players that played valorant as their first tatical shooter . Also , CSGO was one of thr biggest game played after league (in China) . Anyway , all im saying is that Valorant was an open door for many people , specially thr regions where csgo was more like local tournments or the games was pretty much a dead region (few teams) . (and i do think that , just the top 5% players from cs2 would be able to switch to valorant RN , cuz the game changed a lot )

I gotta sleep , peace 🙌

Fun fact is you’re wrong 😭 playing ranked cs for fun doesn’t make you a pro either. My little cousin downloaded csgo so I guess he’s pro too

There's a big difference between "Most teams have at least one cs player" and "85% of all players are from CS"

Let's go through the recent successful rosters

2023 Fnatic
Boaster and Derke played CS professionally; Leo, Alfa and Chron did not.

2023 EG
C0m and Ethan played CS; jawg, Demon1 and Boostio did not

2024 Sentinels
Zellsis and TenZ played CS; Sacy, zekken did not. Johnqt apparently has like 27 maps on record, so not really, but let's count him.

Let's throw the current top 4 at Shanghai in as well to get some more data
G2
JonahP, leaf yes; trent, icy, valyn no

GenG
Lakia yes; Meteor, Karon, t3xture, Munchkin no

100T (excl Boostio because I already counted him above)
None of them as far as I can tell

TH
Pati yes; Benjy, wo0t, Riens, MiniBoo no. Boo also has a couple of matches for some teams that as far as I can tell aren't even salaried ors, but let's be generous and count him as well.

That's a sample size of 35 players, and only 12 of them played CS professionally. That's less than half. And the number is getting smaller and smaller every year. All the rising stars like Benjy, N4rrate and whatnot do not have CS careers.

Yeah early Valorant built its esports on the back of former CS pros, but those times are over. The only ex-CS players that are successful in Valorant are the ones that switched early (2020-21) and have fully focused on Valorant for years.
