bro legit thinks CS and dota will just die

''The moment EU loses interest in games like CS and Dota 2''
interest has been there for 20 years, but ye, the interest will just drop for no reason

I fucked up my phrasing, I don't know what stops anyone from saying masters winner , world champion is indeed false

master winner clearly defines what the team has won

I think he got banned, now he is tomsk_enjoyer, bro is a bit delulu

he has so many names it's actually impressive. I just said that I find spirit's system really really basic and that players like zont1x and magixx will collapse when big games come around. It was a day before the quarter final of the copenhagen major where zont1x said that he doesn't feel any pressure before going 0 and fucking 9 to start the map 3

what stops you from saying Masters winners?

I had a fallout with one spirit fan and he mass reported me with his alts and I got 10 year'd :D

I mean if Boo is really karrigan then he got the script of this CS major. eliminating all the annoying teams just to lose to the team which was on fraudwatch

too bad EG were too broke to keep them

holy shit the schizophrenia is kinda rough, the lev fan thinking that champs are already over 1 day before the GF, the sen fan who think that sentinels have won 3-1 in the finals, now this, Dementia going strong

1st NA, yes, but SA might deplete and the tier 2-3 system can easily go back to CS next year, like nitro has done. players like wardell, daprr, etc. are NOT getting a chance in tier 1 valorant, they have a way higher chance of getting there in open circuit cs
2nd EMEA isn't interetsed in valorant same way as in CS, talent influx is lower and so the region might die out.
3rd utility can be coordinated, but it just lowers the mechanical skill, which is rng. you think it's both rng and precise because you don't know any better.
4th anything related to aim and movement clears valorant, if you think otherwise you are just delusional, one shot CT rifle only destroys the game because CTs already have an advantage of better positoning, and CS duels rarely end in a 1 bullet fired situations.
Sprays are set, that' swhy it's skill, it isn't spam when you know where the bullets go.
You keep refusing the fact that riot, which are building valorant is a similar way to LOL will go down the same way, that's just dumb.

even more money wasted, and it is very likely that the teams will need to push the talent to improve and grow fast, and that will just cause some players to drop off either due to their slow improvement rate ( and slow doesn't mean bad) or bad results (instead of trying to fit them in). And where would these academy players go if dropped?

tier 2 is a backbone for every game, no tier 2, no new talent = GG

because franchising is a flawed system :D

you really want for LATAM and Brazil to occupy the last 5 spots, don't you?

Random moments will never topple pure skill
Faceit has a really similar ranking system to valorant, MM and Premier are indeed shit
Valorant is not a bigger esport with in Western part of the world, CS has ties to plenty of sponsors. "Better image" has nothing to do with the product and the product which CS gives is better due to how long the pro scene has been around. And why don't you think cs poaches valo viewerbase as well?
Asia is a bigger region within valorant because valorant targets that region, that's where a vast majority of the views come in and players as well. CS is a superior product within europe, and if asia were to dominate valorant, cs would get that playerbase back

Nt, the only NA Major duelist winner is Skadoodle

actually a valid point, shit looks a tad bit like overwatch's viewer trajectory

boombla will eat boo and shit on whatever strat botster makes

your asses aren't ready

nepotism and connections are such a fucking dumb problem. B-b-but experience, b-b-but player roles, b-b--but unpproven

• valorant is still more RnG
  -faceit provides the ranking for higher skilled players
  -cs is a rival to valo, and always has been, esportswise CS clears, if valorant viewership doesn't rebound next year, CS will establish itself as a way better esports
  -cs has a bigger SA region and is now growing in asia

superior esport, too bad volvo are a tad retarded

Riot are not hosting 29 events in a year lil bro :DDDDDDD

so the teens(who are the main audience) are usually at school or uni
It's a Saturday and Sunday, and usually holidays, how the fuck is school a factor?
Problem is, CS is a direct rival to valorant, and CS seems to slowly rehab from the clusterfuck which was the cs2 release.

please press caps, I see your 3rd reply and all of them are in caps, respectfully, chill the fuck out homie

it's the combination of both. It would be mad funny if americas and emea just migrated back to CS

Because it's the talk in popularity in Americas+europe, not China, obviously china is booming, but that can just lead to the death of valo in americas and europe

it is well known brazilians usually cheer only for brazil

china is a whole different region btw

no one is watching fucking KOI vs GIANTX

they are unproven and GC is just another league, giving them a chance is a huge risk. Some orgs could do it for clout, but at that point they would rather turn to some washed pros

most of the viewership is from asia and china, you can clearly see escharts dropped from 1.6 mil in madrid to 900k in shanghai to 900k rn in Seoul

I hate the fact that champs-masters and masters have pretty much the same format. They need different formats for different event types, like tennis has different surface for different Opens. this SwiSs SyStEm is just groups but you don't know what opponent comes next. Play a real swiss system with 16 teams, host an 18 team event where teams are split in 2 groups of 9 and they have to play BO2s with each other. top 4 of each group goes into UB and top 5-8 goes into lower bracket, top 9 is eliminated.

mechanics will fuck them over in the long-term. and I really doubt any of the female talent would even get scouted.

''i think you could realistically slot a couple of the top female val players into a few vct teams and those teams would still be fairly competitive.''

and it is clearly seen that riot want to appeal to the asian market, otherwise they would host champs somewhere in neutral timezones, like Lisbon.

I mean that's why CS will likely remain the superior FPS esport. Better crowd, more events, more TOs, more storylines, set-up youth intakes. Some people call CS a 1-region game, but that region follows CS eagerly, and CS still keeps growing in South America (with them rising at the Copenhagen major) and Asia (mongolz+events hosted in China). Meanwhile valo will probably become the asian game, with china and pacific, emea seems uninterested in the game at all and americas depend on sentinels viewership

''Even Tarik knows Boston Major is better than Champions 2024''
Maybe because he won that one, 5head.
But the viewership for the top 3 being lower than a sentinels group game is wild

Shit reminds them of Dust 2

It's fucking crazy that the viewership in the West is yet to break 1 million. With 0 american teams, I really doubt that region will watch the final, maybe the viewership won't even break the 1 million mark, it would be insanely bad

I still don't understand why keep it a 3 event cycle.
Probably because going towards 4 will be such a big loss that riot don't find it sustainable :D

It's pretty embarrassing that an org named BORN TO WIN struggles to consistently make it to LANs

5 months break is still fucking insane

Crazy how an org can be so cracked in CS and then sign grandpas in Valorant

That's what happens when you have only 1 TO. CS has Blast, ESl, PGL, EWC, BetBoom, Starladder, YaLLa Compass and Majors as well. Meanwhile Valorant only has Riot who run only their calendar

25 tier 1 events next year, possibly 29 if Betboom gets a license from valve.
And they probably will, given their ties in Dota and 30 with Esports world cup

I don't know how you valo fans deal with off season, CS has constant action with like two breaks in the year which are a month long, wtf guys
