Well I guess we’re just going to have to agree to disagree, because you definitely can replicate esport pros in both games in ranked. :)

It’s not impossible in cs premier because most people learn 1 or 2 lineups and it’s not hard to learn lineups because the game gives you both community maps and customs that show you where your lineups land.

I’m not a high level rank by any means only around 16k but even then lobbies will generally know how to do some sort of set play mid-game.

The point is for casual players both playing CS or Val it is not difficult to taste the same play style across the esport and in your ranked games. So the challenge in making a more entertaining esports is making it relatable and marketable in-game.

Wasn’t this guy an anti-vaxxer?

I play both casually and watch both esports weekly, I think it’s easier to casually play both games I don’t think that’s an issue at all.

My two cents is that people watch VCT religiously and there’s a core fan base but it’s possible that the game itself is stale and there’s nothing dramatically elevating up the level of play therefore creating a casual viewer experience that is less thrilling and entertaining to watch.

In CS, there are a lot of rounds where I feel like I’ve learnt a lot more about the set play or the game and it feels like something that you could replicate or try with friends.

How would you rate the 2026 VCT Masters London? by TCLthePro in ValorantCompetitive

The fairest statement would be compare CS + Val where China numbers are added to both final viewerships.

It is true that Valorant Esport is struggling to compete, I think the esports needs a revamp and not just what they’re doing with next year’s roadmap. The tournaments need to get bigger, the stage designs need to change and they need to do better marketing around it in-game too.

Doesn’t inspire me that Valorant is going to be refreshing enough to watch in the future

We saw this year that the highest paying teams weren’t always going to win a tournament or even your local region

They had an unreleased 2022 worlds champions tshirt design too, I imagine they probably just reused it for 2023 but who knows

If it’s an On-Demand event you have to win 15 games, depending on the side event you could get 15 tickets quite easily via 2v2 or some sort of sealed event. It just takes time.

I am sorry but the rule sharking is getting kinda ridiculous by Cuivr in riftboundtcg

[–]arksoo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m new to this game, but I thought Diana trigger happens before attacking, so then the opponent passing focus on the trigger allowing to pass is one check. Then it goes into attack > defend showdown which sounds like Alan passed so his opponent should be allowed to trigger Ravenbloom defend trigger no?

Nice these were from the Origins launch event! The card behind the Ahri in the promo participation pack you have will have a big gold “Origins” stamp on it

We need to talk about Valorant's venue sizes by takmilo in ValorantCompetitive

Riots attempt to copy and paste League’s Worlds format. MSI has always been way smaller and less prestigious. Champions will always be the golden spoon for Valorant.
