So far in Berlin and In Katowice the people there were super duper chill , hyped positive no hate of other teams or anything, even though they are big fans of other teams, no quarels or anything like that, if we compare that to Football as an example.
There is probably some natural filtering happening as the CS:GO community is generally toxic, but considering this was a social event it would likely be a nicer crowd
CS crowds are something different. Agree with all the points in this video. Additional thing, the caster reactions are just soo much better in CS. I wish I could attend a major one day.
i think its bc csgo is a game for grown ups. Valorant, and also riot try to make the game like a disney movie. Get banned for saying a bad word, everything is toxic. Riot is a woke company trying to make a game for babies. Thats why the crowd doesnt react much, bc its not allowed.
Furia v Navi at the quarterfinals of rio 2022 had one of the craziest crowds ever. Too bad they end up turning in a library when a brazilian team doesnt run deep.
@@shujagal8744 yeah like saying "roshan" and whistling so loud if the enemy team use "smokes" and for the chinese crowd not attending anymore games after their team got eliminated yeah definitely not bias
Having played both and watched both Pro Leagues, Valorant just feels shallow. Kills don’t have as much weight as they do in CS = less hype. Unless someone clutches every second round in a 1v4 the game just feels bland in comparison
This, the only way for me to get excited watching a Valorant match is if someone pulls a crazy clutch off. Otherwise the game is just boring to watch. There also is the fact that CSGO is way easier to follow and understand what's happening on screen, in Valorant most of the times is just an abilities galore with little to any actual action on screen
Of course it does. It is significantly easier to get kills in Valorant than it is in CS and that's just from a guns perspective. The angles in Valorant are simplified and the amount of utility usage to clear areas makes the tension that comes from a kill less rewarding from an observer perspective because you already knew the player was there
@@cottonmather8146 What do you mean from a guns perspective? CS has way higher movement accuracy, less first shot accuracy, etc. CS is all rng spray BS while valorant requires actual aim.
Kills do have weight, but people by gambling or having a concrete info can manage to turn around rounds, when they have less odds of winning the round. And, imo, when it's 3 vs 5 and team still tries to win the round, it's just way more cool than in cs, when they find a pick and after that round is basically over, which is less exciting to watch. Anyway, everyone has their own prefference of game and I favor towards Valorant way more than CS when it comes to pro play.
As a spectator I prefer cs. But tbf towards valorant, the game has had like 3 "major" events in total with spectators, first one during summer 2022, as the game couldn't hold any events with spectators during covid. Compared to cs which have had events for over 20 years at this point, which creates a lot of history as well in comparison to a relatively new game.
True, as a Valorant fan, I don't deny CS is more developed and I would agree that if there's no CS, there won't be Valorant. But I disagree most of the points in this video.
I'll add one more thing to this. Even with great observers, crowd can only see so much, especially with abilities and all the things happening at the same time. There's a reason why shooters like Overwatch couldn't crack the upper echelon of esports. It's hard to digest what's going on as a spectator. This will become a prominent problem with Valorant not just in the esports scene but the game in general.
I'm more of a Valorant player than a CS player but I gotta agree CS crowds are so much better. Its always an L crowd in Valoarnt (its literally what is being typed in twitch chat) with the one outlier being Japan where the fanbase is actually crazy supportive and the arenas are packed with fans. Japan also gets better things like bigger arenas, more hyped casters, better observers and replays, and LAN events when other regions have it online.
Bro I respect you for actually having the balls unlike most ppl to say u agree the other side is better in some aspects, if there is something positive about the Valo community it's because of ppl like you
I watch both cs and val tourneys so I def agree that valorant is less hype but the game did start off during covid so theres less clips of hype crowds and the clip of the entry you did as an example, isn't that crazy. the crowd has definitely gotten better recently (ex. c9 vs eg from 2 days ago) also the past few majors for val has had seating problems and that the stage is really uncomfortable for the fans just a couple things to keep note of in defense of valorant, but cs has an amazing crowd compared to any esport
What has Covid to do with the crowd? CSGO had amazing crowd at Stockholm 2021, Antwerp 2022, Rio Major 2022 and IEM Rio 2023 (when BR teams playing), Paris Major 2023 and other ESL/IEM/BLAST tournaments. These all tournaments had insane crowd after Covid.
@@prateekg9888 kinda copium but like let's bh, csgo definitely have better crowd because that game is like 10 years old, valorant is only 3 years old. So ofc there is a huge difference when it comes to tournament but I still csgo tournament is better, valorant is okay but a lot of stuff just not that great, they always miss kills pov, so like we dont even where the kills are coming from
i think thats similar to why people find football so entertaining to watch, its 90 minutes where not much happens, but when goals or incredible saves do happen, it is spectacular (especially when the goal is amazing). you watch this build up until suddenly you get the straw that breaks the camels back and the entire stadium erupts
In Riot show, you’ll never see “Fck Csgo”, “drinking beer”, “opening case”. Cs major encourages crowd to be themselves. Val fan can cope with “its only 3 years old game” but look at MSI which was held at the same time with Paris major. I even saw them showed the crowd less then Ads.
In CS you'll also see the classic old "love you chat/caster xy/etc" followed by a "fuck you ..." sign. And everyone loves it! I don't know where the difference in mentality is. My best guess is that the CS crowd really doesn't take itself thaaat serious. For example, I remember at IEM Sydney 2019 when they showed a random dude in the crowd. He did a sucking motion for 2 seconds. The crowd laughed and one of the commentators says to the other "That guy has the same hobby as you Henry!". I really can't imagine that type of humor in a Riot sanctioned event. But I might be mistaken as I don't follow Valo.
It's not sad it's just too new of a game for audience introduction csgo is like 10 year of nostalgia and memories and it's not that complicated to understand fast as audience is in in valorant so is understanding fast what is happening as every agent is unique in its own. Come and see in 2 years you will be surprised.
Personally, I think that another big reason is that Valorant actively discourages toxicity and being rude to other gamers, where as CS:GO is like, "Yeah, say some racial slurs or something, I don't care."
Yeah I think you got the nail on the head. In CSGO when you see pros do crazy stuff, there's a good chance that you've not pulled it off yourself. But when you see a double stachle raze ult, of a soza ult to kill the defuser, or a neon flank 3k. Chances are you either done it or seen it done by some random in your matchmaking game. This alone makes it less awesome. Side note in pro valorant, so much is going on it's overwhelming. The utility and counter utility in site executes is just nonsense and pandemonium.
I do play valorant more than cs, but I have to agree on the video. Valorant has too much happening to where it eventually gets boring while CS can get exciting because of how simplier-looking but hard it is if that makes sense.
I think that history of CS has so much to do with this. While Valorant is a pretty new game, compared to CS, CS itself is over 20 years old now and the community grew up with it. CSGO in this case, has the advantage of being taken more seriously, looks more serious and thus the crowd react as if they were watching an actual sport, Valorant crowds react as if they were just watching a game, with low stakes.
After playing csgo for a year , i got bored and tried out valorant. ..... and i got motivated to play csgo again 😂😂 and i ain't never leaving it ❤. Tbh valo just feels so sluggish to me .
the difference is that valorant pro play is a lot more complex. not tryna hate on cs i also love cs but there are so many different agents that are able to do so many different things and so in pro play, they are all working together to execute a cite perfectly and trying to cover the whole site with their abilities. this is also a weakness in the viewing perspective because it is very hard to keep up for the viewer and its difficult to see all of what is happening.
@@snareplug3872 I think this hits the nail on the head. From my time watching CS, the game places a heavier emphasis on solo tactical play and raw mechanics, while Val at the highest level is very strategy based and watching the solo fights is a lot more easy to follow than watching a whole team execute. Basketball also has this issue where in the 90's it was very isolation scorer heavy and now it's extremely strategically deep and a lot fans say they prefer the older game.
Imo, the crowd differs so much is because, one one hand there is a community full off introverted, obese, egirls, simps, emo etc and the other hand is full of people screeching at the top of their lungs constantly yelling racist, sexist and the most deplorable things to ever be said.
In Valorant there were only 4 tournaments with crowd. You should see the crowd from “Lock//in” tournament in Sao Paolo, they are much better than Danish crowd
when im watching valorant majors im the only one who is getting hype and i know the thrill of it. my friends has a bland expressions except for me, maybe because im the only one who got the intensity of the rounds in csgo, and it applied to me in valorant also.
well, as a valorant fan I agree that CSGO crowd are louder and better but this is such an unfair comparison, you compared japanese and amarican valorant crowds with BRAZILIAN csgo crowd, the Brazilian val crowd are as louder as the cs one..
As a CS player, Valorant is a new game. This it’s first year in Franchising. Give it time than compare the games crowds. I still think CS crowd will be better but Valorant’s crowd will step up there game
yes I did agree with the fact that everyone is used to seeing the crazy utilities in valorant but the point is, they take an immense amunt of skill to master, from an outside perspective the abilities in valorant might look easy and just flashy but as someone who's a regular player, they take skill , and the crowd is just not appreciative enough for it, that entry you mentioned. It was actually solid and was by one of the top players in valorant but the crowd wasn't hyped at all and for that I have no guesses as to why. and the point of everyone being super all the time sure was accurate to some extent tho. and the legacy of cs if very long, valorant is rather in it's new born stage compared to it. let's wait for some time and I hope the valorant community grows to love the game more and be hyped and excited for it. ps- love your vdieos man!
"it takes an immense amount of skill to master the crazy utilities" What kind of crack are you smoking? How much skill does one need to press a button and get an aoe drone laser strike? How much skill does it take to fire a bazooka? How much skill does it take to make your dogs automatically run towards enemies even when their location is unknown? Your argument is such a joke.
Lmao valorant takes skill? All games takes skill it's just the amount of player ceiling that seals the difference. And valorant has a low skill ceiling
I've been to both CS and Valorant matches live, and recently went to Valorant Champions in LA which was a couple weeks ago, so to be fair this video was released prior to Champions. The crowd at Champions was completely different than other Valorant sports crowds, it was absolutely wild and crazy, much more on par with CS crowds. I think one of the issue making this video was that the prior Valorant Masters was in Tokyo, and the Japanese Audiences don't react in the same way as European or American crowds. And Valorant Lockin that happened in Brazil... well, the Brazilians only cared about their home team..
You should watch Lock-in brazil grandfinals crowd where it's Loud against Fnatic, the crowd is pretty lit but not on CS crowd level. All things considered Val is still a young game, the crowds will get better eventually. But CS crowd is just amazing.
honestly, valorant as a game can be hype to play, but i think the lack of crowd reactions come from the community, who make being 'chill' the ideal type of player, in my opinion, the lack of crowd reactions comes from a game that is less accepting of crazy over the top gamers who scream and yell at anything and everything. now that type of player isnt nescesarrily always fun to play with, but can be a hell of a lot of fun to watch if theres a lot of them at an event.
I agree let the game grow little it's too new for personalities everyone is trying to find theyr middle ground as there are many team not even qualifying even though others had big expectations
You kind of contradict yourself there. You say that crazy things don't happen often in CS that why the crows is so hype when they do happen. But then you show how the crowd gets hyped about one player getting close to another, like that's a hype moment.
Crazy= Raze kills, Sova Wall hacks, Yoru Invisible and Omen backstab killing, Jett Run and Kill with blades.. With kills like this, there is nothing much to appreciate.
a factor is probably that csgo has been around since a long while now and all this time built up a huge audience and nailed down how to esport the heck out of it
I don't think valorant is gonna last long, with how bad the community content is and how dependent on it on operator updates. It's just gonna turn out like overwatch and seige.
@@lordlopikong6940 Valorant only has a scene because its like the CoD of tactical shooters, literally anyone can play it and get kills due to how forgiving it is. It got a major boost because of ex CSGO players tired of CS or a dying pro career, giving its eSports scene validity. Tbh it never shouldve been made into an eSport, theres too much that can happen that can determine outcomes that is entirely left to RNG or game defining abilities rather than skill.
You do make good points in this video but I think that you did forget one thing and that is the cs community is more attached to their teams and to players but Valorant just hasn't had the time for that to happen like Valorant is only 3 years old while cs is 11 years old.
It's just a matter of region. European crowds are famous around the world and CSGO is their competitive game of choice whilst Asian mannerisms are generally more subdued, and they rely more on props to cheer on *their* preferred games (LoL and Valorant). For example, the NBA sometimes hosts matches in Europe and every time they do, the players never fail to be baffled by how more intense the ambience is, no matter how important the match may be. RUclips "Basketball fans and atmosphere USA vs Europe" and you'll see what I mean.
The first clip is just how japan crowds are, even concert crowds are like that in japan. Also I think riot controls the crowds, they even give them paper and crayons to make signs. If you want valorant crowd reactions I think brazil had some good ones.
@@leonardoinderbitzin8121 nah, look at the Paris major, people cheering for their favorites, there was even a chant for cadian, NA was hype on mlg columbus and eleauge atlanta
Something important is the visual noise. I rembered being interested in OW esports back in 2016, but it was impossible to get into due to not understanding crap of what was happening in the screen. Sme with valorant, 5 agents in each team, portals, gadgets, clones, some mfs flying through the map, animals that are actually flashes, orbs, a fcking purple wall the divides the entire map. Add the goofy skins, that are like shape of dragons or something ans good luck guessing if its a skin or an ability. Whereas Cs is just guy shoots gun the other dies, and 4 pieces of utility that can be understood in like 5 seconds, and you are good to go.
i have played both ends of the spectrum but currently play valorant and the clear explanation to this is just time. csgo has had 11 years to develop a pure fanabase meanwhile valorant is a fairly new game when you compare the both.
it doesnt matter how new the game is. that would only affect tournament crowd turnout. the valorant tourneys are packed. the fans are just objectively boring lol
not true lol. The reason is because valorant pro scene is the most boring thing on planet earth. Just screenfuck and boring plays, no wonder the 50 man crowd falls asleep mid game
@@zettgundam6317 I agree on the fact that valorant needs time but lmao ??? Are u serious like u have 2 iq or what, not the same decade, not a big fanbase and there wasn't a lot of people watching or going to events lmao ??
It's not just the crowd, the overall production of events are so much better than Valorant's in my opinion. Even just listening to the casters shit on the crowd and each other makes watching CSGO events worth watching.
Imo, valorant casters use too much of the official ability name. For example, the “roller thunder” coming in, “viper pit”, whatever other util names are. They are casting it like a league of legends team fight than a fps game. I understand there are abilities and they are trying to describe whats going on. But these type of casting makes the gameplay looks like a commentary rather than a live sport. Cs casters also have very solid read on whats gonna happen in the next 10-20 seconds based on what they see, how teams are rotating, what they have been doing, what strat this or that team had executed in the past, how will this players play in a certain situation. Valorant casters don’t understand anything. They just cast the action most of the time. Cs casters also cast in a way to hype people up. For example, “this is not fpl. This is pro league. simple U cant do this in proleague”, “there is no way, there is no way, cadian u cant win pro league like this” etc like there are so many lines u could still remember til this day from cs casters from all these events. And every time i recall a very popular scene, i can literally hear the casters voice in my head. But i couldnt remember a single line that valorant casters had said after match. Valorant casters are very bad. If they are any good in the first, watch party will not be a more popular stream than the official stream in the first place. And tarik probably will not blow up and become the hottest valo watch party stream if the official stream has better casters, better observers to begin with. (I love tarik. Dont mean anything against him). Even til this day, i would rather watch tarik talking random shit than the official casters “commentarying” the match.
Also they do a good job keeping the atmosphere fun and exciting at the CS GO events. The one I went to they constantly did mini games and gave away free stuff in between matches and games. Love me some CS
I think history has a part to play in it too. Some of us literally grew up with certain CS orgs introducing you to esports as a whole. Before c9 stopped getting NA players I would root for them the same way I root for my favorite football team I remember screaming chants and doing watch parties with my friends back in the 2016-2018 era
Idk if it's really fair. Valorant has only had 3 years of existence with only 1 year of in-person LANs (thanks to covid) while CS has had crowds since I was in diapers. CS definitely has the better crowds and the better viewing experience, but I'd say Valorant is doing just fine all things considered. Both are fun to watch and even Valorant isn't as complex as most people make it out to be.
the difference is crowd size. more crowd size, more 'thinking as one' (giant statistic), this naturally leads to more group behavior, like supporting the team out loud or a player out loud. if you get any crowd big enough and make some of them start doing the 'ooooooohhoo' rising volume thing, more will join in.
i completely understood your analogy, i think i would have said like, with all the abilities in valorant, like you said theres bound to be a lot of flashly plays all the time, cause the game kinda relies on flashy plays, like jet flying in the air and shooting someone off spawn, like thats essentially a common play just like how in csgo running straight to window on mirage to kill the guy top mid is a normal play, but because you cant fly there its not crazy but its cool if you b hop through the hole in the wall then already be there pre aiming the guy to peek and its a free kill on an unsuspecting enemy, just like the jet flying in the air to get a spawn kill, its the same thing but with different mechanics. if that makes sense, its essentially the same thing but in different words
Funnily enough its like Fortnite, back when the game came out people used building in the most basic way possible, now if you cant build a tower in less than 5 seconds you cant hang. If you're a jett main and cant entry with knives and get atleast one, you probably aren't higher than gold. Kills are a lot less impressive when the lowest ranks are able to mimic the plays. I think the only time I truly get hyped for Val plays is when its gun related and they get a 1hp all 1 tap ace or something truly unique and creative with abilities.
And also, CS crowd also do some random shit like opening cases, meme writing board and all sort of randomness making CS Major more entertaining to watch.
Agree with his takes, but Valorant's crowd is getting better over time. GC 2022 in Germany and VCT Lock-In in Brazil have been the best crowds in Valorant so far.
how can u compare the two with this sort of thing? one has been out for a couple decades, the other has been out for a couple years. So obviously the csgo crowds are gonna be wild compared to val. the brazil event was probably the most rowdy crowd in val but there was a lot of disrespect when fnatic won aswell. (Big L for val community) I don't think the analysis needs to go further than the amount of years each game has been out and the community which has been built over said years, but good vid nonetheless
All jokes aside the csgo esports community is pretty awesome
So far in Berlin and In Katowice the people there were super duper chill , hyped positive no hate of other teams or anything, even though they are big fans of other teams, no quarels or anything like that, if we compare that to Football as an example.

But when you see a double stachle raze ult, of a soza ult to kill the defuser, or a neon flank 3k. Chances are you either done it or seen it done by some random in your matchmaking game. This alone makes it less awesome.
Side note in pro valorant, so much is going on it's overwhelming. The utility and counter utility in site executes is just nonsense and pandemonium.
great video and valid takes, Keep it up chief
the best val reaction by far was loud vs fnatic in brazil
I thought it was grass fr 0:01
I do play valorant more than cs, but I have to agree on the video. Valorant has too much happening to where it eventually gets boring while CS can get exciting because of how simplier-looking but hard it is if that makes sense.
the 1k views and 1k likes speaks for the video itself.
I think that history of CS has so much to do with this. While Valorant is a pretty new game, compared to CS, CS itself is over 20 years old now and the community grew up with it. CSGO in this case, has the advantage of being taken more seriously, looks more serious and thus the crowd react as if they were watching an actual sport, Valorant crowds react as if they were just watching a game, with low stakes.
It's like football, you grow with it and you get a passion for it.
Csgo has a energy of a football crowd.
After playing csgo for a year , i got bored and tried out valorant. ..... and i got motivated to play csgo again 😂😂 and i ain't never leaving it ❤. Tbh valo just feels so sluggish to me .
i only play valo if i lose 3 in a row in cs. just refresher ig
i get what you mean with sluggish, the movement is sooo slow the whole game feels slow paced
@@vesta3544 i play with my cousin just so he plays cs with me after ^^ swaping favours you know
Same, though I still play it because my friends only play valorant
cz u suck hard a valo?
you needed to see the lock in finale
The quote you used, literally could not have been said any better. It literally describes the entire valorant community.
you know he getting serious when he pulls out the quote from the incredibles
the difference is that valorant pro play is a lot more complex. not tryna hate on cs i also love cs but there are so many different agents that are able to do so many different things and so in pro play, they are all working together to execute a cite perfectly and trying to cover the whole site with their abilities. this is also a weakness in the viewing perspective because it is very hard to keep up for the viewer and its difficult to see all of what is happening.
yeah true, but in my eyes that the problem, a competetive shooter hving abilities and healing just aint it+ its hard to follow
@@snareplug3872 I think this hits the nail on the head. From my time watching CS, the game places a heavier emphasis on solo tactical play and raw mechanics, while Val at the highest level is very strategy based and watching the solo fights is a lot more easy to follow than watching a whole team execute. Basketball also has this issue where in the 90's it was very isolation scorer heavy and now it's extremely strategically deep and a lot fans say they prefer the older game.
bro pulled a quote from the incredibles LMAO
I ACTUALLY FKN UNDERSSTAND YOU BRO. I ALSO HAD THIS IN MY MIND BROOO. YOU ARE LITERALLY SPEAKING THE TRUTHHH. BROOO
val is L
your senetense is killing me. BROO
You talking about a game thats 20 years old vs one thats 3-4
Imo, the crowd differs so much is because, one one hand there is a community full off introverted, obese, egirls, simps, emo etc and the other hand is full of people screeching at the top of their lungs constantly yelling racist, sexist and the most deplorable things to ever be said.
In Valorant there were only 4 tournaments with crowd. You should see the crowd from “Lock//in” tournament in Sao Paolo, they are much better than Danish crowd
BR crowd in general is the worsw
Unless there was a brazilian team the crowd wasnt hyped at all.
And even then it wasnt even close to the crowd at the rio major.
???? you're clueless look at Heroic vs Astralis 2023 blast and compare it to the most wild crowd from Valo
when im watching valorant majors im the only one who is getting hype and i know the thrill of it. my friends has a bland expressions except for me, maybe because im the only one who got the intensity of the rounds in csgo, and it applied to me in valorant also.
Valo have a major? i am never heard it
@@user-wj4yv7bx8b Champions would be Valorant's version of a Major. Only 2 have happened with only one having a crowd thanks to covid.
Also it was not small spectator peak 1.43mil and average 446k viewers
well, as a valorant fan I agree that CSGO crowd are louder and better but this is such an unfair comparison, you compared japanese and amarican valorant crowds with BRAZILIAN csgo crowd, the Brazilian val crowd are as louder as the cs one..
Bro i love your videos man
Cassidy's ult is actually really bad and almost never works.
As a CS player, Valorant is a new game. This it’s first year in Franchising. Give it time than compare the games crowds. I still think CS crowd will be better but Valorant’s crowd will step up there game
Csgo content creator need clout so they keep talking about valorant LMAO iCANT
Came from ur tiktok bro this fire
You should've shown when the French crowd played the trumpet in the Paris major. Epic.
I'm a Valorant player and I gotta admit that whenever I watch the ESports it just feels way too quiet compared to CS Major tournaments
Tbf Valorant international tournaments with live audiences hasn't even gone close to even 4 or 5 major events yet
yes I did agree with the fact that everyone is used to seeing the crazy utilities in valorant but the point is, they take an immense amunt of skill to master, from an outside perspective the abilities in valorant might look easy and just flashy but as someone who's a regular player, they take skill , and the crowd is just not appreciative enough for it, that entry you mentioned. It was actually solid and was by one of the top players in valorant but the crowd wasn't hyped at all and for that I have no guesses as to why. and the point of everyone being super all the time sure was accurate to some extent tho. and the legacy of cs if very long, valorant is rather in it's new born stage compared to it. let's wait for some time and I hope the valorant community grows to love the game more and be hyped and excited for it.
ps- love your vdieos man!
"it takes an immense amount of skill to master the crazy utilities"
What kind of crack are you smoking? How much skill does one need to press a button and get an aoe drone laser strike? How much skill does it take to fire a bazooka? How much skill does it take to make your dogs automatically run towards enemies even when their location is unknown? Your argument is such a joke.
You wrote all of this and hardly explain anything. Valorant crowd just sucks and the game is boring to watch, simple as that
Lmao valorant takes skill? All games takes skill it's just the amount of player ceiling that seals the difference. And valorant has a low skill ceiling
@@lordlopikong6940so it does take skill
The fck is your argument 😂
@@yuusha2150 some are more better than others, the other is not devoid of something but one is obviously more sufficient and the other insufficient.
Couldn't have said it any better, amazing analysis bro
there is nothing to argue about the game, valorant is a cheap Chinese copy of CS. its s1mple really
I've been to both CS and Valorant matches live, and recently went to Valorant Champions in LA which was a couple weeks ago, so to be fair this video was released prior to Champions.
The crowd at Champions was completely different than other Valorant sports crowds, it was absolutely wild and crazy, much more on par with CS crowds. I think one of the issue making this video was that the prior Valorant Masters was in Tokyo, and the Japanese Audiences don't react in the same way as European or American crowds.
And Valorant Lockin that happened in Brazil... well, the Brazilians only cared about their home team..
You should watch Lock-in brazil grandfinals crowd where it's Loud against Fnatic, the crowd is pretty lit but not on CS crowd level. All things considered Val is still a young game, the crowds will get better eventually. But CS crowd is just amazing.
Counter strike is also a pretty old game so that adds to crowd having more "connection" with the game or players i guess...
honestly, valorant as a game can be hype to play, but i think the lack of crowd reactions come from the community, who make being 'chill' the ideal type of player, in my opinion, the lack of crowd reactions comes from a game that is less accepting of crazy over the top gamers who scream and yell at anything and everything. now that type of player isnt nescesarrily always fun to play with, but can be a hell of a lot of fun to watch if theres a lot of them at an event.
I agree let the game grow little it's too new for personalities everyone is trying to find theyr middle ground as there are many team not even qualifying even though others had big expectations
cs crowds are like Football crowds
You kind of contradict yourself there. You say that crazy things don't happen often in CS that why the crows is so hype when they do happen. But then you show how the crowd gets hyped about one player getting close to another, like that's a hype moment.
Crazy= Raze kills, Sova Wall hacks, Yoru Invisible and Omen backstab killing, Jett Run and Kill with blades..
With kills like this, there is nothing much to appreciate.
It's not contradiction, people get hyped in that moment because one player got a high chance of getting a knife kill, and that's rare.
@@MZC_GAMING exactly! he was sneaking on him
Remember the ""NIko's tilted!" chant for the boston major? That is peak crowd
i agree master lerc thank you
The trumpet guy clip would have been great in here for further visualization
Let see the master Tokyo soon
a factor is probably that csgo has been around since a long while now and all this time built up a huge audience and nailed down how to esport the heck out of it
I don't think valorant is gonna last long, with how bad the community content is and how dependent on it on operator updates. It's just gonna turn out like overwatch and seige.
@@lordlopikong6940 Valorant only has a scene because its like the CoD of tactical shooters, literally anyone can play it and get kills due to how forgiving it is. It got a major boost because of ex CSGO players tired of CS or a dying pro career, giving its eSports scene validity. Tbh it never shouldve been made into an eSport, theres too much that can happen that can determine outcomes that is entirely left to RNG or game defining abilities rather than skill.
You do make good points in this video but I think that you did forget one thing and that is the cs community is more attached to their teams and to players but Valorant just hasn't had the time for that to happen like Valorant is only 3 years old while cs is 11 years old.
cs is more than 11 yrs old
@@stonedmason614 I think he means csgo only
Yeah I meant csgo is 11 years old but cs is 20+ years old
Great video Jason Voorhees, keep it up lml
It's just a matter of region. European crowds are famous around the world and CSGO is their competitive game of choice whilst Asian mannerisms are generally more subdued, and they rely more on props to cheer on *their* preferred games (LoL and Valorant). For example, the NBA sometimes hosts matches in Europe and every time they do, the players never fail to be baffled by how more intense the ambience is, no matter how important the match may be. RUclips "Basketball fans and atmosphere USA vs Europe" and you'll see what I mean.
i still remembered theres this one guy using trumpet on the major
Valorant is like this cheap lego from china.
great video bro :D
The first clip is just how japan crowds are, even concert crowds are like that in japan. Also I think riot controls the crowds, they even give them paper and crayons to make signs. If you want valorant crowd reactions I think brazil had some good ones.

Let's be honest , this isn't CSGO solely , it is Europe & Brazil , because of football culture.

@@RawfunRahman I play csgo tho
Something important is the visual noise. I rembered being interested in OW esports back in 2016, but it was impossible to get into due to not understanding crap of what was happening in the screen. Sme with valorant, 5 agents in each team, portals, gadgets, clones, some mfs flying through the map, animals that are actually flashes, orbs, a fcking purple wall the divides the entire map. Add the goofy skins, that are like shape of dragons or something ans good luck guessing if its a skin or an ability.
Whereas Cs is just guy shoots gun the other dies, and 4 pieces of utility that can be understood in like 5 seconds, and you are good to go.
i have played both ends of the spectrum but currently play valorant and the clear explanation to this is just time. csgo has had 11 years to develop a pure fanabase meanwhile valorant is a fairly new game when you compare the both.
it doesnt matter how new the game is. that would only affect tournament crowd turnout. the valorant tourneys are packed. the fans are just objectively boring lol
not true lol. The reason is because valorant pro scene is the most boring thing on planet earth. Just screenfuck and boring plays, no wonder the 50 man crowd falls asleep mid game
@@JTheraos Okay why dont we take a look at cs 1.6 crowd then
@@zettgundam6317 I agree on the fact that valorant needs time but lmao ??? Are u serious like u have 2 iq or what, not the same decade, not a big fanbase and there wasn't a lot of people watching or going to events lmao ??
@@JTheraosyeah why don't we 😂
Sort of like soccer, people don’t score often, so when it happens everyone goes nuts
Good vid bro. Theres always some type of ability on your screen on valorant thats why cs is king
It's not just the crowd, the overall production of events are so much better than Valorant's in my opinion. Even just listening to the casters shit on the crowd and each other makes watching CSGO events worth watching.
Imo, valorant casters use too much of the official ability name. For example, the “roller thunder” coming in, “viper pit”, whatever other util names are. They are casting it like a league of legends team fight than a fps game. I understand there are abilities and they are trying to describe whats going on. But these type of casting makes the gameplay looks like a commentary rather than a live sport.
Cs casters also have very solid read on whats gonna happen in the next 10-20 seconds based on what they see, how teams are rotating, what they have been doing, what strat this or that team had executed in the past, how will this players play in a certain situation. Valorant casters don’t understand anything. They just cast the action most of the time.
Cs casters also cast in a way to hype people up. For example, “this is not fpl. This is pro league. simple U cant do this in proleague”, “there is no way, there is no way, cadian u cant win pro league like this” etc like there are so many lines u could still remember til this day from cs casters from all these events. And every time i recall a very popular scene, i can literally hear the casters voice in my head. But i couldnt remember a single line that valorant casters had said after match.
Valorant casters are very bad. If they are any good in the first, watch party will not be a more popular stream than the official stream in the first place. And tarik probably will not blow up and become the hottest valo watch party stream if the official stream has better casters, better observers to begin with. (I love tarik. Dont mean anything against him). Even til this day, i would rather watch tarik talking random shit than the official casters “commentarying” the match.
Also they do a good job keeping the atmosphere fun and exciting at the CS GO events. The one I went to they constantly did mini games and gave away free stuff in between matches and games. Love me some CS
I think history has a part to play in it too. Some of us literally grew up with certain CS orgs introducing you to esports as a whole. Before c9 stopped getting NA players I would root for them the same way I root for my favorite football team I remember screaming chants and doing watch parties with my friends back in the 2016-2018 era
Idk if it's really fair. Valorant has only had 3 years of existence with only 1 year of in-person LANs (thanks to covid) while CS has had crowds since I was in diapers. CS definitely has the better crowds and the better viewing experience, but I'd say Valorant is doing just fine all things considered. Both are fun to watch and even Valorant isn't as complex as most people make it out to be.
Agree with everything except the last statement. People that say cs isn't complex haven't watched pre-Astralis CS and how it evolved since then
@@Jane-qh2yd complex in the sense, complex to watch
the difference is crowd size.
more crowd size, more 'thinking as one' (giant statistic), this naturally leads to more group behavior, like supporting the team out loud or a player out loud. if you get any crowd big enough and make some of them start doing the 'ooooooohhoo' rising volume thing, more will join in.
CSGO crowd is on another level 😎
I agree with the comment bellow mine 101%
i completely understood your analogy, i think i would have said like, with all the abilities in valorant, like you said theres bound to be a lot of flashly plays all the time, cause the game kinda relies on flashy plays, like jet flying in the air and shooting someone off spawn, like thats essentially a common play just like how in csgo running straight to window on mirage to kill the guy top mid is a normal play, but because you cant fly there its not crazy but its cool if you b hop through the hole in the wall then already be there pre aiming the guy to peek and its a free kill on an unsuspecting enemy, just like the jet flying in the air to get a spawn kill, its the same thing but with different mechanics. if that makes sense, its essentially the same thing but in different words
Funnily enough its like Fortnite, back when the game came out people used building in the most basic way possible, now if you cant build a tower in less than 5 seconds you cant hang. If you're a jett main and cant entry with knives and get atleast one, you probably aren't higher than gold. Kills are a lot less impressive when the lowest ranks are able to mimic the plays. I think the only time I truly get hyped for Val plays is when its gun related and they get a 1hp all 1 tap ace or something truly unique and creative with abilities.
good shit bro
Bro quoted the incredibles 💀
There are no arguments. Objectively CS is just better.
And also, CS crowd also do some random shit like opening cases, meme writing board and all sort of randomness making CS Major more entertaining to watch.
Better than edating, fake highlight or warmup edits, mommy daddy issues... Cringe val stuff on social media
"the player bases are always arguing" no, the CSGO community goes after VALORANT, when VALORANT doesn't care about CSGO
this
Same thing happened with Dota fanbase 😂 they always feel superiority complex 🤣
um jogador medio de CS se tornou um dos melhores da historia no Valorant
after seeing valorant content on tiktok and youtube shorts, the crowds feel like npcs
Cs frogs cannot stop talking about valorant while valorant fans don't even touch csgo.
i dont like valo cuz of 1 thing
riot games
Honestly that’s a great analysis and quote.
Agree with his takes, but Valorant's crowd is getting better over time. GC 2022 in Germany and VCT Lock-In in Brazil have been the best crowds in Valorant so far.
Im really into cs but that Brazil one was first valorant tournament i watched, Tarik was streaming it and it seemed pretty hype to me
@@Berttizyeah just play what you want also ignore russians they give ass advice be it valorant or csgo
Imo I think the hype diff is due to culture of each game csgo feels like the boys having a great time
how can u compare the two with this sort of thing? one has been out for a couple decades, the other has been out for a couple years. So obviously the csgo crowds are gonna be wild compared to val. the brazil event was probably the most rowdy crowd in val but there was a lot of disrespect when fnatic won aswell. (Big L for val community) I don't think the analysis needs to go further than the amount of years each game has been out and the community which has been built over said years, but good vid nonetheless
also, Val content creators and players will scream "Cringe" at anything so not surprised the crowds are probably afraid to be over enthusiastic
can't compare JP since culture difference. i highly doubt csgo in JP would have a different reaction
