nah, at the time he was pretty washed in cs. Mostly because he had to awp imo, but i dont think he was t1 when he switched

Ethan? Only because he is in NA. No tier 1 player in EU will switch to valorant now as Cs is more poplular and have more money in Eu.

no one is tier 1. Tier 1 CS players don't have any reason to switch to Valorant. Nivera is closest to be tier 1 but lack of gametime in VIT so hard to tell

Still tier 1 pros though, do people forget that Ethan and Tarik were beating close to prime Astralis in lans right before Covid. They fell off during online CS when NA teams had no prac and had to be constantly flying to Europe, dealing with quarantines etc. to even play.

Ethan prolly was but tarik didnt switch to val rlly, he isnt on an actual team so its kinda hard to say that he was a t1 cs player who switched to val

Nivera was probably the only tier 1 cs pro to switch, and it's shown in how better Liquid got from M3 qualifiers to LCQ

"till 2016" val came out in 2020 moron he was in the depths of shit by 2020
get off ur knees kid, screaM was good at the very start of cs:go where there was very limited competition, and then was #9 in 2016 where he wasn't even the best player on his team. that's literally TWO years. there's a reason he got left out of the french superteam in 2017, and why almost every analyst considered him a one dimensional player who should stick to streaming. val is much more suitable for him than cs

EG was #11 in the world when ethan left, Gen.G was 3rd best in NA and only disbanded because of COVID, and Cloud9 was top 20 when Skadoodle left and he even wanted to retire before then. How is that tier 3??

Nivera and nitr0 probably the only true t1 pros who switched. ScreaM and hiko for example don’t count since they were past their prime
