Counter-Strike 2 is possibly the biggest talk in the competitive first-person shooting scene. After all, this upcoming game’s predecessor, Counter-Strike: Global Offensive, was the leading FPS title for years. This new CS title will release in the summer of 2023. However, Valve has made it available for some people via their ongoing Limited Test.

But the CS: GO community is unhappy with Valve giving early access first to Valorant players. However, the renowned eSports journalist Jake Lucky believes there are reasons for the American video game developer to prioritize whom they are enrolling for their Limited Test first.

Valve’s masterplan for giving Counter-Strike 2 Limited Test access to Valorant players

The Counter-Strike community is not liking how Valve is prioritizing Valorant professional players and streamers over those who are big names in the CS: GO scene. Now it is understandable why the fans are so furious with it. Even Jake Lucky understands the frustration, but he asks the Counter-Strike community to relax.

The renowned eSports journalist believes prioritizing Valorant pros is a master plan by Valve. In recent years, Valorant has become a household name in the first-person shooting community over Counter-Strike: Global Offensive. So he believes it is a move for attracting the majority of FPS players that “strayed away from the light” back to the correct path, which is Counter-Strike 2.
