Professional CS: GO Player Russell Twistzz Van Dalkenadvocating Team liquid, also spoke out against Valorant. The shooter, he said, has not yet made an impression and is inferior to CS: GO. The player, however, agrees that it is too early to draw conclusions – you need to try the new product yourself.
“I can’t say for sure what Valorant looks like now. Obviously, much can change before the release, but I would like to try it out.
I do not plan to change the discipline. CS: GO is still in first place, and compared to Valorant’s gameplay, Valve’s shooter definitely looks better. It’s difficult to form an opinion without testing the game – now it is based only on visual sensations. ”

“It looks cool!”
