Alfajer tried to inflate his aura but then every standing up he has done led to -aura and not +aura. Aura is supposed to be generated based on demand and not forcefully, sadly Lfajer only learned this during the Seoul - Istanbul flight :(

the Great Aura Depression

latina enjoyer, my man

viper and neon clear tho, so does that make neon just a better jett in everything?

good hentai tho

just appreciate the game if you dislike the teams. Best combo is calling out the players you diss for being bums and frauds and laughing as these teams play. If you hatewatch, you will hatefind

no one forces you to watch :D

there honestly isn't a reason to hate an org imho, it isn't like football where rivalries are sometimes political, historical and even racial

so you hate leviatan for cucking your favourite team, and sentinels and edg just because you hold them of a lower regard than they actually are, glad to see your hate is unjustified bro

why would you hate an org which hasn't done anything to you?

Don't you think a team like PRX has already peaked and after that it will only go down? Or DRX are just consistently 5-6th?

kinda why people who don't play computer games look at any esports and think of all of them as retards, glad to see you think the same way

''The worst part is, you can face completely dogshit players on the other team but if you have complete dogshit players on your team, its literally who ever is more dogshit loses; which in most cases is ON your team''
A wise man once said: ''You go into matchmaking thinking you are locked in a lobby with 9 retards, but all along the number of those retards is 10.''

So then franchising can just lead to NA shitting on everyone, EMEA just folding completely and then it's GGs for the cross-region rivalry, heck, maybe even the esports scene dying

I feel like franchising can lead to just one region shitting on other regions and therefore making it more of a joke than competition. Europe seems more concerned with cs, south america has 0 place to show its talents, franchising is slowly killing it, NA seems like the best region, China and Pacific are holding quite strong, however at this time they can only boast 2-3 strong teams out of 10

all it needs are great OBS, not watering down the competition and showing the crowd, then they get it

it shouldn't prevent the crowd from being active tho

I mean valorant just didn't have good venues for their tier 1 events, and even when they do have them the OBS somehow ignores them or makes them quieter. CS has a good crowd anywhere except for Malta ( 150 people crowd) and Sheikh countries ( small venues). I like valorant because it at least makes valve do something time to time, but as an esports, CS clears. And I also dislike valorant's franchising, it is more about entertainment, not the quality of the sport. I would argue that this cross-region rivalry only brews rivalry for the sake of rivalry, i find na rivalries more intense, like Sentinels vs NRG will be a more personal matchup than Sentinels vs EDG every time

great player, shit team

I mean champs looks like a fucking lan party and then you switch to cs and see a cologne crowd going batshit insane, because you can simply see more of it

I mean people shit on Brazil, but honestly, Brazilian crowds are the closest any esports has come to actual sport crowds. like fucking IEM Rio 2022 was insane in CS

zellsis wins a 1v5 somewhere in New York.
Immediate ''U S A U S A U S A U S A U S A U S A'' Chants.
best atmosphere

cs fans despise anything new, but then squirt when that new thing works out. I would easily choose Sentinels, loud, leviatan, karmine corp over ''orgs'' like fucking 1win, aurora, betboom, amkal, which are just used to advertize betting

Easy fix, CS hosts drafts for Jett NA talents, Valorant gets a share of russian dead inside kids, making a switch from valo to cs isn't as hard as people think it is, navi academy has a dude who went from valorant to fucking top 1000 EU in ladder, I am sure na kids can do the same. MEMEA is a meme because it doesn't have anime kids like donk. You get them, add them to the likes of nats, chronicle, redgar, make a ru team ( playing for a non-russian org) and you create a player base inside emea as well.
Oh, and I am sure NA has some talent, orgs there are just recycling same people over and over, meanwhile the likes of lake, JBa are the real deal, they will bring back NA

the best player in the history of CS, s1mple, is currently locked away from competition by navi setting a huge buyout for him. No other team wants him, however he would be perfect for a new team looking to enter CS. Now, which org would love to get a hyped FPS GOAT coming off a break just for content and shit? Sentinels. So that's why i pitch my idea on how both games can grow in viewership, player count and help each other out. Sentinels buy out s1mple, create an NA lineup around him which goes on to win the Major in Austin, Texas in 2025. S1mple makes the Sen brand even bigger and his fans go on to watch sentinels in valorant as a result of it ( therefore making sentinels the clout org in both titles). Therefore, Sentinels will launch a resurgance in NA CS and s1mple will give valorant some of russian speaking playerbase.
SUMMARY Both games gain new regions, sentinels hatewatching gets new heights, Gayben and Leo Fartia kiss on stage, thoughts?

they need to host champions in USA for this atmosphere

clown zont1x lost a clutch to time twice, this bro didn't deserve the major

yeah faceit is the best experience

faceit is the way bro, valve are too lazy to make an anti cheat

come to cs buddy, experience peak

major final got 1.8mil

https://escharts.com/tournaments/csgo/iem-cologne-2024

valo just has more variety of utility, so that's why it's more unique and game turning I guess

3-7 over both stages, n1

yes, flamie got washed during the pandemic, back then he was like a solid 3rd option

so basically lack of experience in CS, got it, I assume you are from asia, and valve never really cared to set up the scene. But asia is rising in CS, Mongol team is like top 8 rn

FaZe vs G2 = 1.4mil

honestly, i feel like he had one opportunity to move to navi - late 2017. Problem is, the GOAT IGL Zeus basically left his previous team and it was a nobrainer for navi to get angel instead of zeus. also hellraisers being a bit of a cheap org didn't help his career

s1mple basically got fed up with cs2 + wants to settle down living in europe since he is basically living hotel from hotel since the war in Ukraine started

cologne is like 3rd biggest event of the year. also btw fake info, check escharts

ange1 never was navi level in CS

respectfully, what is there not to like about cs?

utility should come on better timings, that's the point of CS, proper utility usage burns down the site completely

but cs gains the evolution of utility usage. you can watch for yourself today, before that those smokes outside on nuke were thrown by hand, now there are set lineups, before that teams used 3 smokes, now they use 2, also the new feature of breaking smokes gave a new level of mind games as well

but it prevented him from getting invites to the major circuit because of the vac ban, why he left imo

the only note worthy cs player who left for valorant ( at the moment of departure) was Ethan, maybe nitro. Shall I remind you that ethan is a champions winner? Jamppi was a cheater, scream is washed, angel is washed, same for others, either washed or unproven. Subroza, tarik, wardell were tier 2 when they left

that's kinda the beauty of the game for me, you can't just spam utility and win

this is not the major bro, it happened in march already, navi took it, and there is one more in Shanghai in december

I would say that CS is more like traditional football and valorant is more like basketball.

if he doesn't life game, I can see navi winning in 4
