Do i think csgo will reach what league has of 100 million monthly players - no (unless valve starts to care again)
Do i think valorant will reach what league has - there is a chance
In terms of
Playerbase: yes
Audience: yes
Esports: no, need some more time, but already close enough.
And cs frogs wdym Valorant has more content creators? Content creators stream those games in which people are interested. No one wanna watch 4:3 wide screen 2011 shooter on twitch/yt and no one will play it while Valorant exits - its just a better and newer game /closed
fanbase? no, but they have potential to surpass csgo bcs they succeded to attract more kids, while cs had less fans "regeneration" and as their fans getting older. overall csgo had more fanbase but valorant fanbase spread among more regions.
esports? no, riot definitely had better esports development than valve but overall csgo had better esports bcs they were carried by tons of 3rd party like esl, iem, blast etc.
audience? yes, bcs valorant attract more younger fans and carried by streamers while many cs fans that getting older has lessen their attention to the scene.
impact to society? idk
