Literally the worst developer ever. CS scene is so big but they never done anything to CS. Never seen big update and adding operations and skins update instead fixing VAC. They care more about skins and operations than the game itself. Cheating is common in MM (less in prime). All they do is just sitting their ass and grabbing cash while the game is broken. Dont forget the game is just outdated with their old engine. Pros are moving away from CS because lack of attention from the developer. NA scene is dead. The only thing that could save CS is those CIS fans and EU fans. Asia scene is kinda dead aswell. Valorant isnt better but atleast the dev is better
its more that the entire tier 2/3 scene is gone basically, where the likes og EG and liquid usually get their players from you know. And where new talent is developed. Its not like the top talent except Nitro has left. More the building stones
They are a private company and can do whatever they want, cs is a business model and it brings them income so why should they add something new and potentially harm themselves ?
I think another pandemic is incoming. I predict people will soon begin to vomit violently after reading words on the internet "private company can do whatever they want"
why they cant introduce seasons like in any other game and force players to learn new maps? maybe it would help in growing the scene? right now pro cs go is a bubble
Pros are moving away cause they do not have any other skill. All they can is play video games. But they are not even good at video game called CSGO, so they have to go to the easier video game aka valorant.
Look what they've done to TF2. After 9 years of development they RUSHED it and now they won't update it anymore because updating anything would mean fix that janky code
Still, TF2 isn't a game that we can call an esport. There's no game developed by Valve that is more popular than CS.
Of course it will die someday but we still have a few good years
More then a few. Europe & Brazil will hold it down plus the majors might lure in a couple investors from NA or Asia.
NA is just more risk than reward due to the salary demand so. Hopefully, that’ll change.
