The New CS2 Era Is Here

Ойындар

International rosters are everywhere in Counter-Strike now, we’ve got 33-year-olds facing off against 17-year-olds, and a roster with an average age under 20 comfortably made Top 8 at Copenhagen.
The team names might seem familiar, but increasingly a new generation is stepping up to the plate in this beautiful game.
So now that the PGL Copenhagen Major is comfortably in the rear view mirror, we think it’s fair to ask: are we in a new era of competitive Counter-Strike?

    nah. in terms of overall impact and value karrigan and aleksiB are both about equal, it may not look like that now because of faze losing the major and throwing against astralis in chengdu, but remember that aleksi also had bad games as well.

    I'm 34 and i can definitely tell i'm getting older with gaming. My reaction time is slowly getting worse, my vision is slowly getting worse and i can't concentrate on a game for very long anymore like i could as a teenager. The worst thing is that i still think and feel like i can play the same as i could back in the days but i can't and that makes me sorta disappointed in myself, not a great feeling.

    This is why even though I love Counter-Strike, as for the pro scene, I look more to the other game (aka VALORANT) since my region is more well-represented in that game than CS. At least I have teams to look up to than some random teams that I'm not even a fan of. I watched more VALORANT pro matches than CS pro matches recently. I watch CS probably only the highlights and not a full match.
