It really is time for a new shot at a World Cup event in CS:GO. I really think that if Valve would make a World Cup that has pretty much the same dignity as a major it could be a really great event with loads of viewers. It would be enough to bring the best players. Let's say a month long tournament with qualifiers included, 1-2 million prize money comming back every 2 years.
Rules: Coaches for each nation are assigned to pick teams, players are bound to citizenships, max 3 players from each roster.
I think it would be really interesting to see new rosters from the old players, aswell boost unknown players in regions who only has a few star players, for example Ukraine and Bosnia/Serbia.
Wouldn't it be a great idea? What rosters would you like to see? Here are some examples:
Sweden:
Nawwk
Brollan
Krimz
Forest
Hampus
Denmark:
BlameF (IGL)
Dupreeh
Magisk
Cadian
Es3tag
US:
Stewie2k
Brehze
Elige
Xeppa
Ethan
Russia:
sh1ro
Axile
Electronic
Chopper

A great thing about the Soccer World Cup and the Olympics is that everyone knows exactly who to root for. Throw in a bit of national pride and everything gets more tense and exciting.

Yeah, Russia is pretty random, but i really don't think a world cup system works for CS, there is a reason it's not big right now, because the game is so much different than sports with world cups. CS kinda requires you to have played with your team before and have preset strats to play proper cs. In football you can just jump into a match and play with a team without playing with them before since it isn't as important to have preset strategies. Imo we should just stick to the current system of teams with their own players playing in majors.
5 replies
I mean, I kinda think you put to much value in premade strats in CS and to little in football. It's a really big part of football to know when to press, to cover spaces and to be "connected" as a team. Their are also alot of CS-teams who can perform even though they are pretty new togheter, for example Mibr atm. Sure, it wouldn't be the best CS, but teams would develop as they go on and it would be enough for an amazing tournament.
2 replies
Sure, premade strats isn't everything in cs, but the evidence that it is important is there. There is a reason why we don't have a world cup in cs and why they have one i football right? It could be entertaining to watch but i don't think it should be seen as more than a showmatch event type thing.
1 reply
Yea sure, perhaps you're right, but there's only one way to find out, right? The world cup could probably be more focused on individual skill then and it would still make for great content.
I guess the biggest reason why we don't have world cups is because in the beginning of CSGO there were mostly only national rosters so there were no need for it, but then when international rosters came there were no room for world cups so the attempts that were made failed.
Yes and no. 98% of the CS matches involve teams composed of strangers so it's tough to argue the game can't be played unless everyone is familiar with each other - apparently it can.
I get the game play would be different but pros who'd be representing their nations know each other. They scrim and practice against each other all the time. They're far from strangers. Besides, they'd spend a week or two practicing.
C'mon - it'd be great!

James Bardolph told me in his stream that a guy working for CSGO told him It's coming up in dec almost for sure.
it's just gonna be like WESG though, teams that are full national would just dominate like Astralis or fnatic or vitality because they wouldn't have to change their lineups, and changing them would likely make them worse
would much rather have a major with the actual teams, feel like a world cup would just have non cohesive players just thrown together
23 replies
Yea, but that's the point of max 3 players from existing rosters, so that they can't only play their usual strats. Sure, the countries you are saying are probably the favorites, but it could make for new contenders, for example Russia could be a great team when Denmark need to shuffle in two new players compared to Astralis.
And I'm all for a major, maybe first an original major and then something like this.

Teams would not only have to practice with their main rosters but then also with their national roster. Would make strat development nearly impossible but could actually cause tension between players. Imagine OG if Aleksib just started using their strats for the Finnish team or something. Would be great for a "fun" event but not serious

I mean it's not like this is a radical, untested, concept. We have very successful examples with the Soccer World Cup. None of the concerns you've brought up really happen in the soccer world cup. Why would it be different in esports?
2 replies
Because strategy plays a much smalled part in Football than in CSGO. A good example of this is look at Formula 1 when Rosberg set a good lap Hamilton would ask his pit crew what he did well to improve his lap. Now imagine a player did that and brought stuff over to his international team and they took it back to their main roster.
1 reply
I see what you're saying, however; these guys watch endless demos of each other so nothing is secret per se. The only element of surprise comes from not knowing what they'll choose to do during a given round. Also, when you assemble a new team, your strats would be unique for that group of people to some extent or you pull out a handful of old strats you don't use much anymore and run with those. Anyway, put it on the front page of twitch, get people rooting for their country and draw fresh viewers to the sport. Everybody wins.
Yeah my apologies, skimmed over that part but it agree it probably wouldn't be taken seriously mostly just a fun cash grab

Yea probably will be like that, but it also makes for alot of unpredictability and drama etc. That's what kinda makes world cups really exciting, like Italy, Spain, Germany going out directly even though being one of the favorites, Greece or Denmark winning even though they are pretty much the worst seeded team. (If you follow football)

That's why I said 3 players per roster max, so that they can't just play their defaults and need to mix it up, while countries like Russia and US can get a new mix togheter with the best from the best teams!

Yes, I agree that's a problem as it is with the NHL and Olympics for example. The upside could be market value for their players, maybe teams who have players picked gets a refund of some sort. I guess it could be dealt with a players organisation that pushed for it, but it's a long way to it. They make it work in football and it's the best thing ever to watch a European cup or World cup, so it shouldn't be impossible. But I agree that it's a problem.
But this simply isn't the case in every actual World Cup in every other sport. Why would it be different in esports?
Terrible idea, no player wants this, people wanna practice with their own teams not with some bullshit lineup some random ass coach made up. Also the level of cs would be terrible and teams like Astralis with 5 people from 1 country would completely dominate. Nothing about this works just stop pls.
7 replies
Dude, Read the post. That's why I said max 3 players from each existing roster. I also said every second year just so it doesn't interrupt the "normal" scene too much. It might not be the best CS but that makes way for Cinderella stories and drama, and atleast for me it would have meant alot more to represent my country then my org. It is the best thing in football, why shouldn't it work here?
Wouldn't you like to see ChrisJ, Cruc1al and some new talent represent Netherlands?
6 replies
I understand your idea but I also agree that this wouldn't work as well as you might think. players play best with their teams, because that's who they train with. throwing them with their countrymen would throw most players off. I'm sure the players would also not like this because they feel a lot more comfortable in their respective teams. also you'd have players like Niko, woxic, rain, ropz, broky and more who'd be completely absent from this tournament because they are the only player of major winning skill from their country.
3 replies
Answer to #37: I for one would love to see my nation play once in a while, since I feel more invested in cheering for my country then an org, especially in Esports were Orgs change all the time. And atleast right now it's tiring seeing the same teams play all the time, like NiP vs Vitality for the 15th time this year.
I don't see why players wouldn't want to play for their country, to me it would be the biggest tournament of my life representing my country. Compare CL and WC in football f.e. I do however realise it would be sad for Ropz and Broky, but seeing Rain, Jkaem, Hallzerk, and two more would still be amazing.
Niko and Hunter could be enough to do some damage though, and could actually give a chance to new players from their country and could also expand CS as a brand in it if it goes well.

also they already tried this format with WESG back in the day and it worked horribly, people like watching teams much more then the nations. so no, valve won't want to try this again.

Yea, I realise WESG was a complete failure, but the problem was rather in the quality of the players parttaking then in people not wanting to watch it. The problem too me rather is making it happen then wether it would be a successfull event.

None of your concerns are issues at all when you look at any actual World Cup tournaments held by any sport. Why are esports so special they would be totally different from other competitions?
Sounds like a great idea imo, but i think there would be a few problems connected, i tihnk it will be hard for the teams without a long practise-period to go from team to 'nation'. Besides that it would prolly cause a few problems for igls and so on, concerning about secret teamstrats.
And how would each nation pick their players? interesting idea, but quite a bit problems connected imo
9 replies
Yea, haven't thought about the team secrets. Maybe it should be played before the playerbreak so that most teams anyways "restarts" in a way when comming back from it. The CS would probably be scrappier, but that could also make room for more dramas etc.
About picking their players, as it works in other sports, nations create a "national organisation" who are responsible of picking coaches who then pick their players. I guess something like this could be possible even if it is quite a bit work before it would be possible.

I was about to write a similar post. Let me also add that we´ve had some attempts at organizing "world cup" events in the past (e-frag csgo world championship and WESG) but they ended up being quite underwhelming, not interesting and with low audiences/viewership because of those same reasons. Also, not many orgs would be willing to free some of their players to play in "national squads" due to the potential impact in their (org´s team) performance....
3 replies
Yea, I think the key factor would be to get all the players. If that succeed then the viewership would probably also come.
The orgs not wanting to let their players go could ofcourse be a problem and is all about setting the "norm". It's for example a problem between NHL and the Olympics. But I think doing something like the world cup were this is just before the playerbreak/overlapping the playerbreak so that the team will pretty much need to restart their practises anyways. Otherwise, you'll need the players organisation stepping up to press the orgs lettning their players go, maybe the event could also give a refund to orgs letting their players go.
2 replies
Yep, but then on the other hand, it might lead to exhaustion due to missing the actual player break hahah, and thats another factor, the orgs wouldnt be to happy about. Dont get me wrong, i would absolutely love to see it happen, but in some way i there are far to many potential problems with it
1 reply
Yes, I understand, and I do realise there're problems. I really want it to happen though so I'm trying to make solutions for them :D
I guess it would be up to a choice for the players, and maybe getting a couple of days extra at the end of the playerbreak if you attended the World cup.
3 Players from one team is too op, 2 would've been better.
with like 2 subs.
It would be a tournament mostly for fun i believe, so having few beloved players in team like N0thing in USA and Pasha in Poland would be great. Also having younger prodigys in team would be cool for them to gain some traction in following.

I'm pretty sure tier 1 pro soccer players keep an extremely busy schedule. The Soccer World Cup is a huge deal for a lot of reasons, including the pros buy in, the nations get behind them, and the trophy is extremely prestigious.
Why wouldn't a CS fan get behind their national team for one tournament? Why wouldn't a CS player invest in representing their country for one tournament? You don't think Danes care have national pride when it comes to CS? You don't think Brazilians like Brazilian CS? Wouldn't USA want to prove they aren't door mats on the global scene?
I see a huge potential here.
1 reply
Because we already had wesg and it was FAIL even with the highest prize money.
Players practice with their teams, they practice solo and they have several tournaments that they play at the same time. Like I already said they play several matches some days and you rly can't compare it with football where you have even few days before matches...
I don't see potential here at all especially if we look at burn outs, players complaining about schedule and tons of top players already declined to represent their country in the past.
I will rather watch big events with top teams that are prepared then t2 national mix teams

You did? But then it doesn't make sense?
Besides, nobody thinks that it should happen next month, more like in a couple of years, so that Valve/organizers and players can prepare.
WESG hasn't got anything to do with it, we are talking about a tournament larger than the major. If it were to be implemented, I'd say it would replace 1 major out of 4, so it would take place once every 2 years.
it's not a world cup if established teams participate as-is. It has to be that nation's team. National pride is a key ingredient. I don't care about the soccer world cup because I love soccer, I care about it because I want my country to win (i know...insert jokes about USA soccer here...)
are you familiar with the soccer world cup?
we get established teams playing each other every single day of the year. It's not like that would go away. This world cup idea would be for one tournament. It's a great idea.
2 replies
The 'world cup' idea has already been done! It was WESG and it was shit/ irrelevant. Sure they didn't have the top players, and that's because the top players want to play tournaments with prestige, not some shitty world cup knock-off.
Having the tournament circuit like it is currently is way too much, let alone adding another tournament. Very few people watch a whole tournament nowadays as it's CS 24/7. It's not sustainable in any way.
Ideally you'd have 8 big (tier 1) tournaments a year and 2 majors (room for a month break after each major). This way TO's can actually build more content and storylines and each tournament feels like it matters instead of 'we'll get another chance next week'.
1 reply
I 100% agree with the tournament circuit being too much as-is and that is a whole other discussion. So I would say whatever the world cup would look like, it would need to be in place of something, not additional.
So this is why it would need to be every 2+ years and it would need to be organized by Valve so there were no other tournaments going on. This would give it emphasis and prestige and make it an honor to be selected to represent your country. Top tier players wouldn't be trying to get out of it, they would be trying to get in it! It would change the entire image of the tournament.
It would be for one tournament! and it would be a fun way to mix things up to create some interesting stuff. would be a great time!

point of a world cup is it mixes up players so you get to see people who aren't usually playing with/against each other. And you select the best players for a given team. Wouldn't you like to see the top 5 american players team up for one tournament?

ok - but that's really just a revision to the Major concept. The World Cup concept would be totally different.

Actually this is a cool idea
It will never happen. Valve does not give a fuck about csgo, and never will. Gaben has said that it will never have crowd funded events because he doesn't want it to compete with dota. It's time for cs players to realize that valve will never do anything like this. Valve cares about skin money. Other than that they couldn't care less.

That's definitely true. I think that they don't care because they already make such an insane amount off of steam that csgo is just a drop in the bucket for them. That and since valve devs are allowed to work on whatever they want causes csgo to just be an afterthought. It's too bad because cs hasn't got the attention that it deserves since 2015.
