Blast austin is the chance for NA CS to comeback. Hopefully NA teams will do well in that tourney

This GF is amazing

wonderful throwing

IEM Dallas is 8th-12thth biggest tourney. 2 majors, Kato, cologne, ESL pro league x2, Blast world final, 2 Blast events and 3x IEMs are equal

I am not sure how correct it is but major final got 2.5x times more viewership than madrid final from china. https://twitter.com/asemmvbMgEQ2KsX/status/1774652698744504385

NOW 4 more t1 tourneys added from starladder

Wait what? But i am talking about t1 cs tournaments. Not 1 TO. How many t1 tournaments, teams can play. The prizepool being distributed among so many teams.

TBH Navi were so close to losing to EF. Fck sake that miss from Maj3r

I mean that doesnt change anything. players need officials to actually be better. I feel so sad for players who gets benched bcz of 2 bad matches and they are already removed.

Valve dont care :/

Yes, but navi would have won in bo7. So what.

Bro chinese cs is bigger than eu cs. Way bigger. in number of players, number of teams for major open qualifiers. Chinese cs is massive much bigger than you can imagine. Obviously mainly due to skins interest

There can be still like region tournaments. Obviously this is the list for Lan tourneys. But there are around 10 t1 online tourneys happening in cs. So could be online.

Burnout from valo pros is the dumbest shit ever.

tbh, valorant is growing really quickly. With cs2 being full of hackers. Valorant can actually get past cs2 in few years

But riots have changed alot with valo compared to lol. Watchparties are more imp. in valo than LOL. so maybe its about time to put more small tourneys something diff. from lol.

But they can just give perms to 3rd party. I dont understand why not

The diff. in amount of tournaments between CS and Valo is crazy.
This is CS2 schedule = Plus 3-4 more touneys with 350k USD+ prizepool. Its crazy. Why valo doesnt have many small tournaments?

Hoping for turkeys win

But thats the disadvantage of franchise. You cant really blame riot tho. The only reason sentinels were in the masters is because of RIOT. without franchise, sentinels would not be in t1

I know Americas has 7 spots in shanghai but NRG have to show up in RMR. with osee and eg core. No chance

BCZ there are tarik fan is sucking edgs and kks d*ck badly

Both brazilian team winning. How?

Bro its always fun to see kids rage XD

I mean fallen v S1mple is obviously more hyped

Bro s1mple vs fallen. FNC v Loud is boring. Loud is not eve interested in playing together

Which one is more hyped?

I mean he never really played csgo like a content creator. He was always a caster. Who just streams here and there when there is no match. He made himself through casting but yeah

Buster(Russian streamer) also casts and not watchparty. Watchparty is when you are watching the stream with commentary. Buster and his friends does commentary like IBAI. This also happened after ukraine war. Because before that all russian telecast were ukraine based. Now those channels have become ukraine propaganda channels, so russian people just stopped watching cs. Now buster is like one of the casters.

But guales is not watchparty he is Brazilian portuguese broadcaster. He buy the rights to stream for PT-BR. Unlike tarik who comments over casters. Guales is a caster

Lol ohnepixel peaked 60k in IEM COLOGNE. MainStream on twitch had 200k+ and 120k+ on yt
Ohne never had more than main stream on yt forget about twitch

But guales is not watchparty he is Brazilian portuguese broadcaster. He buy the rights to stream for PT-BR. Unlike tarik who comments over casters. Guales is a caster

Everyone choked in the pressure. Only snappi stepped up

Dycha and Nertz choking

Lol diff between playing in semis and finals is different. but hey impossible to explain to a valo kid that

G2 always do it against noobs in finals. Vitality vs g2 would have been a better test

Not a 2-0 . Anything can happen. Lets goo thats why cologne is the best

Love to see cadian lose.

Cringe.

Bye bye to big orgs and big salaries. And then bye bye to big tournament organizers

This brings uncertainty to players in case salaries. Most orgs would not like that. AND orgs are the one paying salaries

Not at all. NA teams want money and screen time no matter what. Na excels in having money but not much when it comes to maintaining team. So its fcks with the NA teams even more

No partnered teams. No franchise. Complete open circuit for cs events from 2025

Nobody cares about small orgs. GG cs esports is dead now

Over the past few years, we’ve seen professional Counter-Strike drift away from that ideal. The ecosystem has become gradually less open, with access to the highest levels of competition increasingly gated by business relationships.

We think that Counter-Strike should be an open sport. So we’re going to add new requirements to running large-scale competitive events. The finer details are still in progress, but here are the broad strokes:
Tournament organizers will no longer have unique business relationships or other conflicts of interest with teams that participate in their events.

Invitations to all tournaments will use our ranking system (detailed here), or otherwise be determined by open qualifiers.

Any compensation for participating teams—prize pool or otherwise—will be made public and will be driven by objective criteria that can be inspected by the community.
Since tournament organizers have existing long term commitments, these requirements will take effect as of 2025. There will be some rough edges to the transition, but we’re committed to the long-term health of Counter-Strike as a sport and are looking forward to its bright and open future.

China literally have equal player base as EU. So its not really dead in china tbh

He already said he will comeback for cs2

remember. because i doesnt happen anymore. Also, you may have bad trust factor so you get players who have bad trust factor as well.

Bro you are joking right. Not even 100k. The showmatch of pacific league got more than 2x of this
