The shooter Valorant von Riot Games is very popular and is regularly featured CS: GO compared. The well-known streamer shroud did the same. He believes Valorant has a decisive advantage.
What did shroud tell? Michael “shroud” Grzesiek has asked for a live stream from the chat on Valorant vs. CS: GO voiced.
So he believes the Riot Games shooter may be ahead because it has a small but useful advantage:
I think [, dass Valorant vorne liegen wird,] just because it’s much easier to get into the game and it’s also easier on the eye. It’s a little bit more casual.
Counter-Strike, on the other hand, is a little bit more hardcore, a little bit, but you never know. With the Source 2 things they planned, it might get better, who knows.

CS: GO could become even more interesting with Source 2
Is Valve good for a competitor? shroud also spoke in his stream about the updates from CS: GO and why Valorant will do the game good. Because for Valve, the 7-year-old shooter is currently a real draw. He breaks record after record and is currently the most successful title on Steam:
Valve is so smart. They know that CS: GO is their baby and they knew they had no competition for years. And they haven’t done anything for years.
The second the Valorant appears in beta, the closed beta, they bring updates. Tyler told me that Source 2 should be released this summer and CS: GO should get a huge update. And that makes sense, because Valorant is planning its release this summer.
What is Source 2? According to various leaks and insider reports, CS: GO will be updated to the Source 2 engine in the next 2 months (via Dexerto).
There should be adjustments to the rendering, shadows and animations.
Rumors of the engine update have been around for years, but many sources are now talking about this summer. That seems to make things more tangible.
Other streamers and professionals also compare the shooters
What do other streamers say? Tfue, the currently most successful streamer on Twitch, has already compared the two games and came to a different conclusion with a similar statement.
Is for him Valorant “too casual” and should not be bigger than CS: GO, at least in e-sports. Some professionals see it differently.
What do professional players say? Even before Valorant’s beta, there were shooter professionals who were drawn to Riot’s new project. The well-known CS: GO player Braxton “swag” Pierce already announced in February that he wanted to switch permanently to Valorant.
Valorant is popular with many professionals due to the gameplay. With Riot as the developer and organizer of tournaments, they may be hoping for big tournaments.
So too Harrison “Psalm” Chang, who is resting his career in Fornite. There he achieved second place in the solo tournament at the World Cup in summer 2019 and earned a proud $ 1.8 million.
