Sounds good, I'm already kinda leaning towards FNC though, will keep an eye out.

What is that supposed to mean exactly?

Yep I have basic knowledge of all this, it's just picking a team and all.

Didn't support FaZe for that reason but whatever makes you happy. And no I won't be a SEN fan.

Yeah, huge respect to him for that.

Damn, thanks man 👍

Yep thanks, that's exactly the kind of answer I've been looking for, however I do prefer FNC to SEN for the region.

Not necessarily comparing, just mentioning what I'm used to and naturally that's what I would compare to but even disregarding CS the atmosphere itself is pretty terrible globally imo, whether the country likes FPS games or not. I've heard the crowd mic is turned down from a lot of people, is there any place you can hear the raw crowd sounds?

Yep that's what I'm hearing.

Even without comparison, I just felt like it was kinda dead tbh, not much going on.

What's your point exactly? VCT tournaments have happened all around the world and it wasn't any better.

Fair point, but just considering how much people play this game, I'd just expect a bit more reaction from the crowd during big games.

I usually watch CS Esports so I had fairly high expectations, but you're telling me this is the crowd for VCT's biggest event of the year? It's so disappointing to see all the empty seats and a generally quiet crowd. Whenever something exciting happens in the match, the fans just start clapping and it's really confusing to me on how much passion is lacked in this community.

Appreciate the help, you're good.

Lmao I don't get the NRG Banter in this community

Exactly, like you don't have to support a team

I know about VLR cuz it's similar to HLTV? Why would I ask this if I had a team?

Pretty useful info, appreciate it.

As mentioned before I don't really want to support an Americas team but if I have to I will ig.

Essentially what I wanted to say but I love Karrigan so I can't word it like that.

Might be it, I've been told my multiple people now.

Are they regular AWPers? Or if they were to use the AWP they'd be best?

It's quite unfortunate because I personally like playing AWP as well, it's so much weaker in this game.

Although I am from NA, I'm not a fan of the American Esports culture. EU times also fit me better.

Wasn't planning to anyways.

I don't like Sentinels anyways.

I like AWPers tbh, but I do know that role isn't as important in Val.

I'm also told they're like FNATIC, wouldn't that be closer as they're both EU?

I'm not completely clueless like you explain, it's just teams and players I need help on. I'm aware about the format and all.

I am not switching by any means, Counter-Strike will probably still be my main game. It's just VCT is coming to Toronto so I thought I'd watch some VCT to understand what's happening.

Karrigan isn't doing great either so it's fair trade lol.

Just like the title says, I'm a CS fan trying to get into VALORANT Esports and kinda have no idea what's going on. So I was just wondering what are the major teams in VCT and what their CS equivilants are as well as players too.

I support FaZe for CS so what would the most alike team here?
