Well if they find a way to change the venue and transfer the already transferred tickets they could definitely do it. I doubt they would not transfer the already bought tickets. Maybe you can only hope. Brazil will be the place to be though.

It’s how the game was advertised.
And cmon Phamous, you know that Val didn’t kill NA CS. Covid did. Covid hurt NA CS more than Valorant did. Valorant certainly didn’t help but it didn’t kill it. Covid nailed it in the coffin.
Well the thing with Valorant it has unranked which people like to play. Me personally I could care less about unranked. If I’m gonna play a game I’m gonna play for my rank and to win. Would get bored just playing unrated all day. But unrated is a good way to learn. Cs has an unranked system but it’s not that popular. A good way to learn would be retakes or executes servers.
You might have been a new player but I’m sure your teammates were a bunch of players who are Hardstuck silver. They live and breath that.
I also am not the biggest fan of how many chances a team gets in a tournament. For example if a team makes playoffs. They still have a double elimination bracket for whatever reason. Feel like it could be structured better.
I agree though there could be more opportunities for teams. I get it varies for regions. EU has several teams that are competitive but Only 3 can make it. I get they want a more international presence but I think it would be best to have the best teams to play whoever they may be.
They can definitely switch to a bigger venue and sellout. I remember Tarik was talking about it. There was some stadium calling out to host the major there.
No offense but you kinda brought that on yourself. At least run through the game first so you know the default settings and mechanics. What does what and whatnot. It’s always best to play with a friend at first but cs Doesn’t have the training course like Valorant does so I get that. I’m sure you would be annoyed if people in ur Val game hopped into ranked not knowing the game (assuming they bought the acc).
Idk if people did that in my game I would just assume they are trolling. No doubt there are toxic players but I’ve had worst experiences in Valorant for NA at least.
Who knows. All I can say is that it’s Riot. They are missing out a lot of potential. Very curious if the seating will be limited for the event.
The Brazil major will be hype for CS. They can fill a whole stadium I feel like.
Mm is definitely not as toxic depending where you live. If you live in Russia or Eastern Europe I can definitely see that.
In NA Valorant toxicity is another level in pugs from my experience. That and the edaters is another experience itself.
It’s pretty bad. I was told this event was going to be a crowd but I guess not. Will champions be? It’s just such a waste to not have one and don’t know what is holding them back. I get riot are stingy but cmon. People want more than these studio lans.
Casters is a big one, gameplay, and easy to watch.
Biggest one is the crowd though. The crowd is such a big difference as well. The fact Valorant hasn’t had a lan crowd yet is a joke.
I have no doubts he’s been popular for awhile. I’m just saying he is the official Portuguese stream and has been for as long as I remember. You said he is a watch party which is wrong.
Well it’s a moba and Asian countries love mobas. Dota is massive in China as well. I know the Koreans really love league specifically as well.
I’m just saying in general though that CS has a massive following in China.
Agreed, although a lot of the playerbase for Val Came from games like apex, Fortnite, league, etc. The whole concept of the game was already established and based off CS. You can say it’s copied but there are some differences. But it’s not like Valorant was a fresh new idea. Its whole idea came from already established and successful games.
I remember when the game first came out it was being memed on as “Tom Clancy’s League of Overwatch Global Offensive.” Lol
Gaules is an official Portuguese stream. Not a watch party dude lol.
No one is salty. I enjoy both Cs and Valorant but your takes are beyond bad lol. I get there are Csgo fanboys out there but don’t forget how many Valorant fanboys there are who are just as bad. These games shouldn’t even be compared but considering how Valorant was marketed as the csgo killer it will always be compared.
You can just tell me you don’t watch Cs and I won’t judge you. But now you just look silly.
How is CS possibly declining? The viewership has gone up. The game is more popular than ever. It hit its peak player count in 2020, 8 years after its release. Game has twice the player base of Valorant. Either you are that detached or just off the goop.
The cheating problem in CS is heavily over exaggerated. I get there are cheaters but it’s seriously not that bad. Every game has cheaters.
The thing Valorant has on CS is how dumb downed the game is for the casual. That Is how it attracts new players as majority of the player base came from fortnite, league, apex, or Val is their first fps. If I was new to the fps games I would for sure play val over CS just because how noob friendly it is.
Be realistic dude lol. Don’t forget CS has a massive Chinese following.
I get Japan loves Valorant and they have a big following but they would still need Korea and China. Korea still seems to be more interested in OW and League over Val.
It’s a trend game. That’s the problem imo. It reminds me a lot of Fortnite in 2018-2019.
Unfortunately Valorant relies on watch parties. But I’m sure the grand finals will do well.
Wonder why they put all 3 European teams in the same group and then the 2 NA teams in the same group. Should have switched one for one imo.
Because it’s the Valorant community
game rewards you if you don’t let go of your movement keys while holding mouse 1
I doubt he ever will tbh. He enjoys streaming and makes a retarded amount of money from it. He did say awhile back if he were to go pro again it would be in CS. Whether it be true or not the world will never know.
Attention grab for content. Good for viewership but I assume there were better options.
EU has 7 competitive teams that can all win where NA has 1 lol. Just because a team from a region wins an event doesn’t mean they are the best. Gotta win multiple in a row. It’s not like if Brazil won we would be saying the same thing either lol.
As someone from NA the delusional NA fanbase always makes a good time.
Someone with a brain. NA wins one event and they all think they are the best region. We have to win multiple events in a row to be able to claim that. The fact that EU only were allowed to bring one full roster explains enough. EU region as a whole has better and more competitive teams where NA has only two realistically.
EMEA is stronger. I think if certain teams that qualified were allowed to bring their actual roster it would have been different. Don’t know why people think if one team wins an event that makes them the best region. It’s like people saying “oh Cloud9 won an event they are the best team in the world.” You gotta win multiple events in a row to get the #1 ranking.
EMEA is a bit stronger? Dude EMEA is a lot stronger imo. The amount of competitive teams in Europe vs NA aren’t even close. NA has shown two teams that are consistent. Optic is the only one that I’m impressed by. EU has at least 7 teams that can win an event. I’m not trying to take away what Optic won but I think the event would have been different if more than just one team could bring their full roster. If Gambit qualified they wouldn’t even been able to come lol.
Are you really surprised though? Have you seen the Valorant community lol. Met more degens on this game at least here in NA then any other game.
Man it’s not that deep lol.
What Twistzz said wasn’t even wrong. People are mad because it’s true. It’s not a bad take at all. It’s 100% true that NA cs pros were switching because it was easy money because it is. Players knew they would get signed due to their former status in CS. That’s exactly what happened anyway. Skadoodle was literally out of the pro scene for 2 years and got signed lol. It’s not a bad thing. It’s just what the truth is. I get people have to pay bills and stuff. Mainly this applies to the older people not younger but I get that part of it. But there were plenty of orgs in the NA cs scene and they left when players and teams failed to produce results time and time again. Players cared more about their egos and reputations over winning. It’s why there was never consistent success with the scene. You already see the same problems in NA VAL. Not to mention the bubble NA CS created within their own scene. You can’t be a pro and also full time stream. It’s just a scuffed NA mindset in general.
Sports have been having crowds since 2020. No problems there. CS and other games have been having crowds since last year. No problems there.
Time to wake up and move on.
Yeah I figured that as well but I had a friend who had a very similar last name.
Van Duyn and he told me his family was British. I just took his word. But I should have just assumed it was Dutch with Van.
Shittest takes? On what lol
Think you’re just upset my friend. I’ll gladly take Twistzz along with the majority of NA.
Haha a little. Both have crazy hairstyles as in messy. I remember when Twistzz had like a clean cut but the messy hair suits him. Same height as well I think.
Just one happens to be white and Asian and the other one is just white. Pretty sure Van Dulken is a British/Irish last name. Ngo is Vietnamese.
We shall see. Never know with Riot tbh. Considering there are only 3 major events a year. You would expect they would have crowds. Was surprised Iceland didn’t but at the same time more people live on my island then the entire country of Iceland.
Well if we are talking about overall skill. Elige or Twistzz are the best to come out of NA. Some others can be mentioned but yeah.
Success wise Stewie has been the most successful and he is a good player as well. Maybe Twistzz now with the Major win. Either way they both will go down as legends.
Might not be as slow as R6 but it’s still slow lol or can be. Besides it’s just the matter of fact of kids nowadays have the attention span of a walnut. I personally don’t mind watching a round play out but that’s just me.
Don’t get the MDL throwers back in their roots.
Most successful player I think would be Stewie but idk about overall skill. Twistzz and Elige are up there. I don’t know much about other games like League or Dota so can’t speak much from there.
Didn’t miss anything just a bunch of similarities. Twistzz is like the OG insane aimer of NA. Twistzz has a lifetime HS rate of 66% or something. Both are insane mechanically and both are Canadian. Ironically enough both are from the same part of Canada.
They are being compared for whatever reason. Close in age as well. Just one is more successful.
Both from British Columbia
Both insane aimers
Coincidence I think not
Still don’t know why Valorant hasn’t had a crowd yet. Crowd adds so much to the game and the experience. Riot may have cool stages but they are really lacking on everything else.
Twistzz repping NA making us proud
the part time coach they had there as well was American
Wins for NA
It’s an under appreciated game. Skill gap is high and map awareness in that game is another level. It is sort of like Valorant where it can be hard to watch and can be slow. Good game and They used to have a decent crowd for their events.
Yeah has a point there. No one did Watch Parties for CS till last year. This thread was created when the stream just started. He has almost 60k rn. You do watch parties if you want to interact with the streamers reactions. But with CS all the casters are so good. If you don’t care about the interactions you just watch the main streams.
