CS Major never got at twitch front-page even getting 2.7m.

Valorant Champions with way lower viewship almost everyday at recommended page.

CS almost never shows at esport page... Even being one of the most watched with most tournaments.

It's RIOT bro, if this was any other company yes big accomplishment, for Riot is the bare minimum...

Lol world, CS Major, Dota TI, any of these 3 was better.

Well if Champions isnt major what is ? of couse it a major.

Would be the same as TL vs Navi in CS or T1 VS EDG, best scenarios for both games but very unlikely to happen unfortunately.

Sen vs KRU would break every viewship record of Valorant and wouldn't be broken again until both team faced each other again.

Hahahahahahahha lmfao NA so bad

Like, if it was with the intention of being racist or not is up to the opinion of each individual, but I do think that everyone can agree that wasn't a smart choice to use a monkey image towards Brazilian community... It opened the door for misinterpretation as the history of monkey/jungle related comments when speaking about Brazilians is well known and documented by everyone.

CS Major was scheduled on the worst time possible for EU/CIS/BR views and still got record viewship...

Schedule doesn't change things that much.

Well people.was saying that Sentinels vs TL would break the records and couldn't even surpass Sentinels vs Furia.

Finals definitely will surpass 1m is Sentinels is one of the finalists, if not then I'm not sure.

Riot is dumb, same situation as olof boost... Just have the map replayed...

But no, they choose some non sense logic to give acend the win.

An online tournament, one of dozens of the year.. And still got 760k views.. While the Valorant one was the first ever Lan and international event of the game with a fuck ton of Co streamers.

With all the money and support on the world they could only won one major in CS.

Why in Valorant will be different? NA is just bad.

S1mple could kill TenZ while doing a Mc burger with both hands.

70-80% of CS views? Lol,

CS Major final match. 1m English views, 1m Russian views, 300k brazilian views, and the rest is others languages, so it's 40% of CS views, not 70-80.

Nah, it's just that CS gunplay is way better than Valorant, in the end what everyone want to see is sick flicks, one taps, clutches, sprays transfers, one deagle..

Most of the executes will not be catch in the live match, u will see just when some analysts show it to us or someone point it on reddit or YouTube video.

Valorant gunplay is just boring.

If Sentinels/Liquid doesn`t make to playoffs Valorant would not peak higher than 600k lol

I see some people here saying that Valorant Champions may peak higher than this major of CS.

The chance of this happening is zero, EVEN CS will not peak this high anytime soon.

It was the first major in 2 years, got the most popular team of CS (navi) in the finals with G2 and Niko x S1mple, the GOAT and one of the best CS players of all time, and both didn`t have won a major yet. Once in a time event...

To Valorant achieve this level it will take some years yet, and CS will only get these numbers again if its something like Navi x Some BR team in the finals..

NA is a one thing apart, NA CS is dead so people change to Valorant due lack of options.

Isn't the trend, it's one way road, if u suck at CS u still have Valorant, if u suck at Valorant don't even try CS because u have no chance.

Hype final? Yes, Niko vs S1mple, two legends of the game with the opportunity to win their first major.

Best final that CS could have for viewership? Not even close, it would be Navi x Team Liquid ( CIS, BR because of fallen and EU due to the general hype of the match) or Navi x Fúria (CIS/BR full potential).

I expect to the match tomorrow bring 1.5m views if it's 2-0, if it goes to third map them 1.6-1.7.

Valorant = 0 views because it doesn't have a replay/GOTV system lol

Yep, the used this excuse when the final with Gambit x Envy got less viewers than the group match of G2 vs Sentinels, but Heroic x Virtuos Pro (two teams with small fan bases) got 1m views in the quarter finals lol.

CS GO RMR qualifier: 70k prize pool, teams from the same region , some online, others in Lan studio, done by third parties with low production level .

VALORANT Masters: 600k prize pool, teams from all around the world, top tier production by riot with arena and light show.

"mAsTeRs Is OnLy a QuALiFiEr"

This is a circle jerk that I'll keep going for years until one game consistently get more views than the other

Valorant fans was trashing CS with the Masters 2/3 viewship being higher than the CS ones for months.

Now that CS is getting higher views its their turn.

If Valorant Champions get higher views than CS Major then Valorant fans will say CS dead until an tournament of CS get more views.

And life goes on.

Thursday work day, anyone was expecting a full arena today? At this time? Lmfao

Tickets for Saturday and Sunday are sold out.

And PGL last major please, trash áudio.

Why Brazilians would care? We don't give a shit what leaf do at Valorant or even CS.

That drama was created by some retarded Brazilians kids that couldn't face the fact that their team was shit at the moment.

Now is a consensus that MIBR is shit and apart from Fúria every other team doesn't come close to EU/CIS teams, both in CS and Valorant...

Wasn't so obvious before but now is clear as water.

A just want to see Fúria in the Arena with crowd. It's something that I am missing for so long.

Doesn't matter if they win or not. Of course them in the finals would be the best scenario, but realistic it's Navi x some EU/CIS team.

Smgs are meant to be used as run and gun... But u need to be close to be effective...

The problem is in Valorant u do almost the same with vandal and phantom.. And the Smgs are precise running and shooting even in big distances..

The difference it's when happens in CS is a highlight and everyone talk about it.

In Valorant is just another play lol

0, imagine spending money in Valorant lol

It's bugged..

Peaked at 970k with Navi x Nip game.

Which still incredible for a group stage game.

Yes

Stolen credit card was used to buy bits for streamers... And they knew it.

Hope they lost. Don't want Astralis winning another major and didn't picked them in my pick'em.

And I hope that Entropiq and CPH lose their next games too.

LOL, CS has the double amount of players than LOL (professional):

https://www.esportsearnings.com/games

Playbase yes LOL have way more but are a bunch of casuals... and why would be harder to be a pro at LOL than CS ? Both games are hard in their own specific ways...

Hope that they lose, did not put them in my pick en

Their next match is against Heroic, playing like that is GG.

Astralis, the most dominant team in the history of any esport game.

When C9 was playing the numbers weren't any better.

Yeah, LOL is the biggest esport out there, this is a consensus and a fact.

What about comparing two similar games where one copied almost everything from the other?

Valorant kids full of excuse. Until yesterday all they could say are 800k group stage views bigger than CS online final Kewk.

This views without the top teams, in the worst time schedule possible for BR/NA views (games starting at 5/2 am), no big streamers watch parties etc.

This with a shit company like Valve doing almost 0 efforts to grow the esport scene.

Imagine CS in hands of a company like RIOT when speaking about esport management, would get 1m views in the first day.

Astralis will come from a 3-2 and win the major.

U have the option to see teammate and enemy cross hair...

My pick em 😭😭

It's the GOTV hud, isn't that bad but of course PGL should have its own for a fcking major

Stop overreacting, they clearly are facing some problems that will be fixed soon.

I just want Navi x Liquid or Astralis X Nip at finals.

The contenders stage will not cross 150k, mostly due the ridiculous time schedule that PGL did.. Like some games start 5am here at Brazil.

The group stage may average 400-500k
Quarters 600-700k
Semis 800-900k
Finak : 1m 1.5m

Best case scenario = Navi x Team Liquid, them it can achieve 2m views.

Indian pride is Forsaken

Só sendo realista. Único que tem chances remotas e a GODSENT mas ainda sim abaixo dos outros times.
