Nothing will kill Counter Str-

>If it's streamed therefore it's popular
I guess you also think that classic wow has millions and millions of players?

literally every single one of the ecelebs said they didn't get paid, I don't think anyone will risk to spill the beans if this wasn't truh

>get 400 streamers to preview your game last Thursday
>make it a Twitch exclusive closed beta by making people watch streams in a chance to get a beta access key
>highest viewer count on Twitch ever
YOU DON'T FUCKING SAY?!

You're right they did not get paid otherwise they'd have to put #Ad in their stream somewhere it's required by the law

>What are loot boxes
Tarkov had hundreds of thousands of viewers too when loot boxes were enabled for viewers in chat.

Uh does it matter who I watch to get a drop?

no custom maps/games
no interest

Counter Strike and Overwatch suck for different reasons.

actually people are watching it because its the only way to get a beta code

so theyll do it for a week then, exploit the novelty factor, and then go back to what their braindead viewers have been watching them play for literal years
besides there are quasi-legal ways to circumvent this whole "add disclosure" thing

>he thinks CS will ever die
Now have you seen the state of pro OW? Literally EVERYONE is fucking jumping ship, pro players can't take it, and once the teams are gone the scammed investors are gonna be out looking for blood

>shilltubers are my friends, they would never lie to me!

-ike. Nothing will kill Counter Strike. there I finished your sentence for you

Are you OK user? Take your meds nobody is defending them

This. Valorant has utterly shaken the overwatch scene despite the fact that it has more similarities with csgo.

Big streamers are paid to stream the game. That just means riot wasn't willing to pay that much.

And that was a smart move from them, these cock sucking leechers will just stream whatever's hot at the moment to make a quick buck anyways. It's a win-win for both

Remember when Apex Legends was more popular on Twitch than Fortnite?

Remember when Fortnite was more popular on Twitch than League of Legends?

Apex died off due to content drought

This, what this user says.

If this Overwatch CS rip doesn't have custom maps it's going to be a VASTLY inferior product off the get-go to CS and is never in it's wildest dreams going to surpass who it's trying to compete.

No option to play in a LoTR map with player zombies where you have to escape? No play. Simple as.

Yeah because a lot of semipro OW players are basically failed CSGO players who started playing Overwatch because they couldn't make it in CS, and now they're jumping ship to another game thinking that they can get the big bux in it [spoiler they wont]

>what is an nda

You're retarded.

this has to be view bots of some kind. Half these streamers with 20-40,000 viewers ive never heard of.

some on bro don't you think some literal nonames are good enough to get 3x more viewers than forsen?

why is CSGO so popular though? it's the only game poorfags are able to enjoy?

Apex died
Except is still pretty alive tho, and tonight comes out a new event . So ok?

are you trying to say riot is throwing money around to gain traction with false viewers?lol impossible they never did THAT before

yeah if you look at the viewer lists you can see blatant view botting, I'm guessing to get a key and then resell the account

man there not even trying they atleast used to keep the names varied

Probably people making multiple accounts and opening multiple tabs to increase their chance of getting a key.

I don't get why this is hard to believe, they don't NEED to pay them anything.
>hey guys, if you play our game we'll give you beta key drops in your stream
>okay
>100x the normal amount of watchers thanks to league kiddies

Why did they buy a million bots?

Wouldn't it have been more reasonable to buy like 1/4th that?

does the average normie consumer look that smart to you

I knew that faggots will use Riot's marketing tactic as a way to shitpost on Yas Forums the moment I saw that you have to watch streams to become eligible for early access. Just imagine how much Riot is going to brag about this shit.

FPS games are easy to get into, more so than something like league which requires you to play for months before you have a sizable champion pool.
Its free.
It has a lot of history and a lot of players.
Its popular already, so people keep playing it.
shitty minigames for kids.

>chink money buys streamers
imagine my shock

None of the streamers are sponsored though.

>he doesn't know

>csgo

no because classic wow has shit for viewers

>get free shit for watching
>people set up bots to increase their odds
>viewers go up
woah

It's fucking unreal that after so many years people are still this prone to advertising. Is it just low IQ?

i don't think a single actual pro has left. just a bunch of people with dead careers and a 15 year old who wouldn't be relevant for years

Children

Every major AAA release has blatant shill patterns in its Yas Forums threads.
For this game, in every thread someone without fail says this

Riot sure know how to market their games. The amount of cocksucking they get. As for the game itself, it mite b cool.

>counter strike is quake
The fuck are you smoking? CS is nowhere near as fast and fun like Quake is

yeah people with friends who have fun playing new releases and enjoying life while you sit there feeling superior because you're "immune" to advertising

That's probably because they are under contract. Not saying valorant is going to kill OWL or anything but OWL itself feels pretty damn dead with or without it.

Some of these NDA's explicitly tell you to lie

It's hard to deny that Valve is dying. TF2 is dead, Dota 2 is imploding, Artifact bombed, Dota Underlords bombed, Alyx bombed. CS:GO is the last nail in the coffin.

Is this proof that there's no meritocracy in gaming? Why does Lawbreakers or Battleborne fail, but this shit succeeds?

I don't have bandwagoning sheep among my friends. Birds of a feather, I guess.

This kind of shit just opens my eyes to how stupid most people really are.

Remember when Apex Legends was top 1 on twitch?

They have dyke women in Counterstrike now?
Thank god I quit that shit ten years ago

Cost of entry and marketing tactics.
>free
>you have to watch the stream to get a chance to get a key!
>its the hot new game that all the streamers are playing
Those last two feed into each other.

Who?

Lemmings will play whatever they think is popular, simply because it is popular

That game make battlefield looks soulful. BF5 is good now?

>now on an episode of
>Where are they now?

it might still be there if the devs weren't inexplicably lazy for the first 6 months and added virtually no content to the game because of "muh burnout"

There's dyke women in literally all the games now bro.

Generic flavor of the month FPS
*yawn*

cs is cool and all but have you tried dota 2?

Based retard

Did Ninja have queue problems or something? I don't really watch streamers

Advertisement doesnt mean manipulating bullshit.

>hey we have a new game. Here's what it plays like. Watch some streamers play it so you can see if you're interesting

>h-Haha I'm immune to their scummy tactics! I'll never even look into if it's fun! That'll show them!

>TF2 is dead
stagnated at 60K
>dota2 is imploding
lmao
>CS:GO is the last nail in the coffin
still doing good
God, I fucking hate niggers who unironically believe that if 1 game launches, the other 1 is going to die.

yeah its shit

Heard someone put it well
>players didn't quit the game, the devs did

why would it kill csgo? i dont get it.
Maybe it would kill fortnite or overwatch? CS players play CS to get away from noob shit like wall building and abilities that dont require skill.

Derivative committee-designed shooter from League of Legends devs.
I can barely contain my hype bros!

Who the fuck is the ugly ass tranny on the right? Is csgo resetera:thegame nowadays?

>not sending out any keys

why even have this stupid event. had to create a burner email and twitch account for this nonsense. 45 minutes of my life i won't get back.

no NDA can compel you break federal laws, you can have an NDA that tells you to lie in public but theres nothing that can absolve you of refusing to abide by FCC guidelines

I agree, plus it just in general being a fucking dumb choice to leave a guaranteed good paycheck with all your expenses covered for the chance of getting big in a new game that you hope will have a better scene.
I don't really care too much about OWL either way I just think most of the talent that's left t2 has been people who really didn't have any chance of going anywhere, or people who are just tiny random streamers hoping to break into a new audience. OWL itself has lots of issues at the moment, I think not being able to do the local games thing they planned out will hurt a lot

>ecelebs said something
dumb zoomie

It's dead

same thing happened with apex

Are you unironically retarded?

every single valve game could completely die, all the way down to single digit concurrent players, and they'd still be doing fine as a company

LOL thread?

The problem is that ultimately you are looking at Riot vs Blizzard in terms of handling esport. That's really it. People can bitch and moan about both but if I am an esports player then I am going with Riot over Blizzard every single time. Blizzard had so many chances to make it big and they fucked up every single one, without fail. Their biggest achievement is StarCraft which has nothing to do with them. So that's really it.

csgo will never die, but you're lying to yourself if you dont think valorant is going to put a dent in its numbers.

valve had 8 years of uncontested market dominance to add improvements to CS and instead let it languish, just occasionally shitting out a loot box or an operation to print some money

>but-but I'm immune to ads!
You're still retarded if you think you are.
You wouldnt even know about your favorite games if it didnt have advertisements. Literally all advertisement is is letting people know your game exists.

This looks so try-hard and boring. There's literally a new pvp FPS every other month. No doubt this will be filled with aimbots and wall hacks from everyone's favourite country anyway

Ahem. EGS.

Ticktock drone.

We don't talk about him anymore. Only averaged 9k views on gameplay reveal KEK

that's a setting you turn on in your dashboard schizo

we were too cocky valvebros

>esport nonsense
lol

Are you? I work in the industry and build bridges with these people. I know how it works you stupid mongrel.

>turns on wallhack skill
>kills everyone
wow, esports

What the fuck even is this? Is this the new generation of advertisements?

What was wrong with just a dumb little magazine cover with a demo CD included? What went wrong Yas Forums?

Every complain I see here its only
>looks like shit
>its cs:go with powers
yet nobody can real talk about how it has 128 tick servers, like every streamer is playing on 10-20ms despite being a fuckton of people playing, also doesn't pro players play cs:go on the lowest graphics?

It's in every streamers/youtubers self-interest to heavily promote the game at the start to

1.) carry over their old viewers
2.) establish themselves as a main source of game content in case this game skyrockets
3.) get further (maybe even exclusive) deals with Riot

You don't need to pay streamers/youtubers shit if you arent some unknown indie game or some mobile cash grab.

Teenagers and early 20s of today have literally lived their entire life being fed intrusive online advertising in ever facet of their day.

I mean if we're being completely pragmatic about shit, esports in general is a fucking terrible career and 99% of the people trying to make it into one would be better off quitting. One might be better than another, but it's the same result for the players most of the time, they either break into T1 and make good money, or don't and should have spent their time doing literally anything else.

The people who spend seasons grinding in contenders or whatever the league equivalent is are usually just delusional retards who'll whine about anything so they don't have to admit they just aren't good enough. Not saying contenders doesn't have issues, it clearly does, just that I think most of the people leaving will find the same result in valorant

Welcome to the zoom generation

They play on the highest settings because the advertisers want to make the game look good
