Valorant has become one of the finest tactical shooter games to have released in a long time. The owner of G2 eSports has admitted to something similar in a recent interview with ESPN.
Carlos ‘Ocelote’ Rodriguez Santiago opined that Valorant is a step ahead of its rival, Counter-Strike: Global Offensive. He continued by saying Valorant will “end up destroying, in terms of numbers of people playing the game, Counter-Strike, because in Counter-Strike, the only thing you have going for you is the mechanics and I love the game to death, I really do.”
Carlos believes that the inactivity around content creation will eventually be the reason behind Counter Strike’s downfall.

Moreover, we don’t see the owner of a massive organization like G2 pick one competitive IP over the other. But if the fans were to take his comments into consideration, it seems like Valve’s shooter will soon be facing a dire situation.

On the other hand, a lot of pros have made a shift to Valorant already, and that trend has continued. Only time will tell which FPS comes out on top. Until then, keep following this space for updates on both.
