Esports Valorant Is Bigger Than CS: GO ?!
Valorant is an online FPS game that has been released for more than 4 months, and this game has gained considerable popularity, especially from shooter genre game lovers.
Because it has the main game mode “Bomb defusal”, Valorant cannot escape comparisons with its predecessor, Counter Strike: Global Offensive (CS: GO).
And indeed, Valorant has also taken a lot of basic mechanics from CS: GO such as the choice of available weapons, similar weapon recoil, player movements and so on … so it’s no wonder these two games are always aligned with one another.
Even so, Valorant is not only here to bring back FPS game fans who are tired of the Battle Royale game, but they also want to work on CS: GO players who are getting bored with this 8 year old game.
And apparently, it is happening.
Valorant Steals CS: GO players
Since the release of Valorant in June, CS: GO has seen a decline in the average number of players each month.

Analysts in the gaming industry believe that CS: GO is experiencing a slow demise. They feel that this game is full of bugs, cheaters and a bad anti-cheat system, which makes the appeal of CS: GO decreasing.
On the other hand, many analysts feel that Valorant has a developer that is more responsive and more responsive to input from players.
Transfer of CS: GO Esports Players and Teams to Valorant
In addition, several CS: GO esports teams and players have also started to move slowly to Valorant, which indicates the possibility of increasing numbers of migrations.
CS: GO is currently experiencing a big bug coaching scandal where the coaches of several teams can access several locations on the map illegally.
Things like this seem to make the image of CS: GO tarnished more than Valorant, which does not yet have a big tournament due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
Teams in North America such as 100 Thieves, NRG and TSM have also decided to remove their CS: GO squad and put their focus on Valorant.
