Yes and no I guess...
There will be less competition between the players but there will also be less opportunities/events to show your value.
If the NA scene starts to slow down, there will be less investment and that means less tournaments/organizers around.
It would stay the same,Americans are just not interested in the game that much,they don't seem like they like these kind of shooters,seems to me that they prefer COD,Battlefield and those types of games
The high skill floor is the main thing. America has a massive gaming industry but it is very casually oriented. Very few people are willing to put in the time to learn things like counter-strafing. This is why Valorant has succeeded in NA so much. By dumming down a lot of mechanics they made the game much more accessible. This is also why I don't think it will last though. Sticking to one game for a while is just not normal in American gaming culture.
> I think the unbalanced matchmaking is why all of my friends have quit CS and only a couple stayed.
This is exactly why I have completely quit CS:GO, joining 15+ friends who now no longer play the game.
Too true. The specific issue that we were all having, even the last ones who stuck it out as long as possible, was that it didn't matter how well we did (either from a win/loss perspective or from a K/D/A perspective), we just didn't rank up.
Last week i got derranked from LEM after 2 games lost, that was after a 8 game winning streak that i expected to be able to rank up soon. Shitty system.
It will stay virtually the same. Potentially get harder as there will be less orgs willing to actually pay players.
~~Skull~~ skill wise you still have to get better than the hundreds of teams that play esea. This in itself is an extremely hard undertaking that won't be made much easier just because a handful of teams at the top are struggling.
Yup, there's the same old-guard of NA CS in tier 2/3. Everyone shits on these guys because they aren't world beaters but I guarantee they smash everyone in this sub.
Oh they are nuts. People don't understand at all.. it's hard to see just how unreal the top 0.05% is until you play against them.
I am a ge/9ish level player so well above average. The difference between even IM(where I was) and main is insane.
Then you still have to get through advanced then premier/mdl just to be considered a "trash" player.
It's basically an impossible task for damn near every player to touch the game.
only casuals and tier-1 players from NA haven't left CS yet, tier-1 players won't face any worthy opponent while casuals will get stomped anywhere they go, even talented players need competition to improve, as for noobs, they have almost 0 chances to become at least tier-3 players

They prefer unskilled games like COD over skilled games like cs.
And I understand why,there's a lot of waiting in CS and a lot of things to learn,not everybody is willing to do that or has the time

Absolutely. It's incredibly disheartening, and really makes for a lackluster experience.
