Two sides, counter terrorists cts and terrorists ts, everyone buys same util and utils can counter each other, smoke extinguish molly and grenades can clear smoke, ts have ak and cts have m4a4/m4a1-s, game is very fundamentals heavy and emphasizes gunfights more than valorant. Since everyone is the same it allows every player the same opportunity for massive hero plays and outshine everyone else. There are still dedicated roles like in valorant, dedicated awper, entry fragger/duelist, support, roamer, and igl. Not much different from valorant which is expected since valorant esports started with washed up cs pros coming to valorant.

yo yall can't seriously be sitting here thinking valorant is without issues eh? like, after playing against massive utility spam all day and neon apex game play looking ass, are you seriously going to sit here and start telling people who voice their displeasure of the game to stfu? like what has these forums turn into. it almost feels like no-one here actually plays the game and just watching pro play all day, in that case, even pros are pretty much voicing concerns with the game's balance issues right now.

Not even true, it experienced a jump and then went down again soon afterwards, it's the same with south korean pc bang player count when gen g win, quit your weird game comparison yapping.

ye G2 lliterally need to get less than 14 rounds total in order to qualify, if they do then I'm convinced God willed it to happened.

some teams take longer to warm up compared to others, after such a long off-season the better teams might just be waking up.

full blown ccp spy, it's k, canada doesn't mind

i don't care who you are in game I'm calling everyone a he, if agent specific is needed I call the agent name, if group of people i call they, fuck this specific gender pronoun shit

Play faceit if you don't want to deal with cheaters

wtf are you going on about anymore, the slang just mean they're not being serious right? what, was my wording too much for you comprehend?

you're disregarding those posts are being fake with no evidence, if we go by that logic then why don't we just assume every post we don't like as a fake troll at this point.

what say you then, are you also a bot trying to gaslight people into thinking that there is not an us versus them mentality going on?

it's an american thing just ignore them, they'll do everything in their power to convince themselves that it's the white man's fault for everything wrong in the world. the bright side is they'll never be able to accomplish anything tho.

ok buddy now you're just gaslighting, all it took for you was to click on the next three pages of this site's forum to see that there indeed are people saying these things, literally the other thread in this first page of the forum has people saying it too, like im pretty sure you're just here to mess with me now.

at least make a less obvious troll comment

ye no shit, still there's people being like "valorant is gonna kill cs cus valorant esports is only at its 'infancy' and doing numbers comparable."

had read the forums here after the pgl major, felt like throwing out my two cents for the people who were busy trying to compare twitch numbers between the two games

ignore him bro, straight white males live rent free in his head.

quit coping and thinking how either game clears the other or whatever, there are genuinely good things about both games that the other doesn't have.
Valorant has a better default competitive mode and anti-cheat. if you want to seriously play competitively in cs you basically have to play faceit or esea now.
Cs has community servers and custom gamemodes and maps which I still play today, (addicted to zombie mode)
Cs players who stick with it to this day over valorant have their reasons just like how valorant players have their own reasons over counter strike
the major for cs was good, only the finals bo3 was a little underwhelming in the last 2 maps. also bo3 finals is enforced by valve, so tournaments have to do it.
the trophy at the major was a replacement because a protester who was paid by a gambling site broke it two days earlier.
I play both games and enjoy elements of both, if you genuinely think valorant clears cs then I'm just gonna assume you never played it.

I can't wait for sentinels and tenz to get high on the madrid win and then proceed to bomb starting next week.

ok so are you implying that one should be punished whether accident or not because we don't truly know whether it was genuine or just being disguised as an accident hmm? see where the problem with your fallacy is starting to go?

when the definition of being "hateful" towards someone is so vague since it could be straight up harrassment or bullying for some, then something as miniscule as accidently deadnaming someone for others, the fact that punishment is effectively dished out all the same regardless is where people start to have a problem

damn bro yall really just keep acting like this and being surprised when people don't like you, that's crazy

ye well i also think you guys aren't helping your case by being so blatantly unlikable as a group, you guys act like that kid who cries to the adults any time you don't get your way, and then proceed to sneer happily as those adults punishes everyone else in the friend group.

Tenz and Kyedae met each other while watching hentai at a party, I don't think anybody should be taking their opinions on anything in life.

ye well news-flash the world isn't twitter or reddit, get used to it. getting mad and calling for mods to ban anyone who disagrees with you isn't gonna help your case. it'll only make regular folk despise you even more.

you claim to say who cares but then proceed to talk about banning people for misgendering that same fake character, like pick lane kid, should be people be banned or do you genuinely not care.

didn't have a problem with trans at first, until they started to become figurative hyenas, making their gender identity their entire personality and attacking anyone and everyone who may have misgendered (even accidentaly) them or deadnamed them, they're a bunch of sad individuals who can't afford to experience any sort of social turbulance without immediately screaming how it's everyone else's or society fault they're like this. just look at twitch when clove release, fns accidently called clove a she on stream and suddenly his chat is losing their minds demanding him to apologize, to the fucking fictional character no less. when clove got announced during vct anyone who called clove a she in chat immediately got banned, im past the point of being convinced this whole nb thing is anything but a political move.

kek, "I implore you to go educate yourself" is as convincing of an argument as trying to convince people that nb is a not a sham

kek, one day i hope you realize that your ideology is nothing but a sham for corporations to milk money and goodwill out of you only to throw you off to the side the moment they don't need you anymore. you say you're fighting for marginalized people but you're just making the normal folks hate you even more.

these are biological features that are considered a third sex, those are medical conditions and the respective countries have already figured out gender terms and norms for them, what the wests problem is they created a vague ass gender called non-binary and now want to push that shit to the rest of the world, when for centuries they've never a problem with this stuff. once again like I said before, it's cultural colonism and you're just doing it to make yourself feel morally superior.

damn bro that's crazy, let me guess those articles saying how intersex and nonbinary have always existed just came out in the past few years as well did they?

what kind of mental gymnastics are you playing where you're suddenly saying that the rest of the world all has nbs and therefore this is good because it somehow supports them (even if they did exist, they'll never see it in their respective country anyways), do you forget the ccp owns riot? remember how the ccp also said they're banning games with effeminate males (not joking you can genuinely search it up), the west isn't the entire world you know? this shit doesn't exist in those countries and riot has made a clear effort to not go against them, if anything they're just trying to appease whatever internal biases you have so that you keep fucking playing and throwin money at them in the process, all the while the majority of people who aren't part of the lgbtq or hell even immigrants like me who are esl (english second language) who never even heard of any of this, have to suddenly step on egg shells just to make hurt your fragile egos.

kek, riot would never do something they couldn't censor or change in order to conform to the values of respected country.

that shit was used like once and it was to refer to an unknown individual, not some mysterious made up gender.

how can you seriously say this doesn't have to do with the rest of the world when this game exist in so many countries and many of them don't even have this. china doesn't have this, russia doesn't have this, south american doesn't even have pronouns like this. THIS GAME EXISTS IN THE MIDDLE EAST, HOW CAN YOU POSSIBLY THINK THIS SHIT WILL FLY BECAUSE YOUR LITTLE SUBREDDIT SUPPORTS IT. your whole argument for this only works in the west, hell clove is still referred to a she in russian translation, clove still have female prefix in china, your argument only stems from your little bubble that echos and supports your sentiment, and now you're trying to push this onto the rest of the world under the guise of moral grandstanding. you're just being a cultural colonialist, calling everyone a bigot for not conforming to your ideals. fuck off

holy shit the brainrot has gotten to you, don't fucking delude yourself into thinking that nb is somehow not controversial, this shit wasn't even a thing until a few years ago and now you cunts are going around calling everyone alt-right or bigot for questioning it. I implore you to go to other countries and see if your shit will just simply fly like it does in your usual reddit and twitter spaces.

omg im following you from now for you foresight

kekw

why does everyone actually think china is a bad region

lmao good for you I guess.

eu frogs talk shit when they win, na frogs likes to talk shit before tourney begins

lmao you literally shit on eu with every post you've made since your account was created, you're literally having an argument with me on vlr of all places about valorant, no one here thinks you're rich or hot shit buddy.

no flag to reveal, I'm a happy and proud canadian who just got tired of how egotistical na has become after winning Reykjavík

your responses are literally starting to get non-sensical now, welp better leave you alone before you eventually die of a stroke.

lmao now you a fake flagger for not even knowing that meme song.

you are coping, coping and seething, you just can't accept what you're seeing

lmao so your response is covering your ears and eyes and yelling, "la la la I can't hear you," you're truly deluded beyond belief

lmao, of course it's the hassan viewer who wants to alienate the moment when confronted with a differing opinion, keep coping kid.

lmao keeping track of a stat on group stages.

why not keep track of a stat that matters like how many majors has na won compared to eu.

oh na only won 2 majors compared to eu winning 4 majors.

PooFaceCe can you please explain this correlation here?

Any possibilities on why this may have happened?

lmao keep coping, not everyone in na is a toxic fanboy who simps for the region
