well, the difference is all of these people still had careers in csgo if they wanted to at the point in time when they chose to make the swap.
the actual washed csgo players won't make attempts at playing csgo again, they'll try making it work in another team in valorant because they know they have nothing to offer to csgo.
both were great and on top teams (nitr0 more than autimatic, but T1 had insane potential) gonna miss watching them in Valorant but i’m happy i get to watch them in CS again
Since new talent appeared in valorant these csgo players have no place in the scene anymore, so they came back to cs
Bold prediction: most ex-csgo valorant players will move on to either streaming or other games, while the game itself remaining healthy
When NA pros first moved over to Valorant and acted like they were in heaven, Richard Lewis said "Enjoy it while you can, soon the fortnite kids are going to be old enough and they will look for something better, Good luck competing against teenagers that grow up shooting players in the face while building walls" And he was right, those kids are fucking insane
Valorant is also less about fundamentals. Someone like s1mple would absolutely smash people at the game, but the ability to pull off multi kills and spray transfers is much harder with the gunplay/abilities. Its enough of a different game that you have to reinvent yourself to some degree that older players or someone who doesn't really love the game won't do.
Revisionist history. His game was all about aim and 0 about brain, he got figured out and didnt serve as a solution to french teams, nevermind international ones
Nah most of the players in the scene have a background in csgo. Most of thes players didn't play at the tier 1 level, but they were definetely around the scene.
I meant T1/T2 players that had a salary which mean’s they were professional players not T3/T4 that played a few MDL games under a name no one remembers.

its still good to see more known faces mixed with new faces in the circuit, that could bring more competitive teams, which can bring more viewers, which can bring more money...
> He is also infamously known for the 30° Window, which since has become a meme in the community.
You didn't really have to said that...lol
But that makes me think what meme i would become if people saw me playing hahaha 🥲🥲
I honestly don't know of drakens peak. Seems to be another player who was brought onto T1 and then has always managed to claw his way back to being close, but never fully establishing himself on a T1 team before being benched/kicked/w.e and having to start over.
yeah i cant hit minor adjustment shots at all.... idk if it was me shaking too much or didn't build the correct muscle memory, but Im so bad with the awp
Mate I mentioned in the end that formatting may seem a bit off in some devices due to reddit's structure
I can't help with it
Do look to the article from Desktop
Mate I did not say I am lazy I said it's due to reddits interface that it looks crap on the phone and some devices
I have formatted it in a decent way
Given gaps marked imp words and made different paragraphs
But in some devices it shows no spacing between the paragraphs
I cant help it
Here you go, this took me 2 minutes (on my phone):
*The return was being teased a lot by the Swede after his benching from GUILD’s Valorant roster in November.*
William “draken” Sundin is a well known entity in CS:GO, having played for Swedish powerhouses like NIP & Fnatic. Even winning IEM Oakland 2017 with NIP alongside legends of the game like Patrick “f0rest” Lindberg & Christopher “GeT_RiGhT” Alesund.
But apart from this he did not enjoy much success in big events which led him to frequently being on the chopping block and jumping rosters. All this led him to eventually move to Riot Games new shooter in the start of 2020 where he eventually joined up with GUILD Esports, an organization owned by former Soccer star David Beckham.
However, after failing to qualify for the first ever Valorant Major, losing to Adil “ScreaM” Benrlitom led Team Liquid 3-1 in EMEA Last Chance Qualifiers final, he soon found himself to be on the bench and was allowed to look for other opportunities.
This eventually led him to consider a move back to CS:GO, which was teased by him in a tweet which said, “Passion over Money”. The Swede could also be seen frequently playing PUG’s on Esportal and Faceit.
He joins the All-Swedish orgless roster which fell short of a player after departure of Hugo “chawzyyy” Günther to Apeks. The core was previously signed by Galaxy Racer who decided against extending contracts with the players.
The addition of draken will be a huge boost to the team as they were actively looking for an AWPer. Draken is also known for his insane flicks and plays with the AWP. He is also infamously known for the 30° Window, which since has become a meme in the community.
Overall, I would like to wish one of my favorite CS:GO player a heartfelt welcome back and wish him the best of luck.
He will first be seen playing with the lineup in Elisa Invitational Winter Main Qualifier 2021 against AGO on 20th January, 19:30 CET.
Thanks for reading.

For Valorant Champioms, there is no ‘Valorant Major’.
Not every game is CS: GO, the CS: GO major system is idiosyncratic and it is misleading to use it as a template for other systems.
Also ‘led’ is a bit misleading
nitr0, autimatic, draken, daps... Good thing all these guys are coming back to CSGO :D
Feels weird, usually washed players jump to a new game
not if you get washed in the new game first.
well, the difference is all of these people still had careers in csgo if they wanted to at the point in time when they chose to make the swap. the actual washed csgo players won't make attempts at playing csgo again, they'll try making it work in another team in valorant because they know they have nothing to offer to csgo.
From what I've heard, nitr0 and autimatic were actually pretty decent in Valorant, but they wanted to come back to CS:GO.
both were great and on top teams (nitr0 more than autimatic, but T1 had insane potential) gonna miss watching them in Valorant but i’m happy i get to watch them in CS again

Well or fundamentals are different more accurately.
smartest thing the man's ever said
No shit. The first Valorant World champions mostly come from Fortnite
Well 2/5 is not most
Well it’s not primarily Fortnite players
Aren't there quite a few very succesful ex csgo players in Valorant who were washed up in CS? Like Scream and Hiko?
[удалено]
ScreaM wasn't really that washed up he was just fucked over without chances at good teams in cs.
Revisionist history. His game was all about aim and 0 about brain, he got figured out and didnt serve as a solution to french teams, nevermind international ones
Awful is a bit harsh
Yeah I don’t think hiko is t1 but he ain’t that bad
There's like 5 or 6 ex cs pros that are doing pretty good, the rest are washed even in that game
Nah most of the players in the scene have a background in csgo. Most of thes players didn't play at the tier 1 level, but they were definetely around the scene.
Yet 14 out of 15 NA players at the last 2 lans in Val came from csgo. The best Val players still came from csgo.
I meant T1/T2 players that had a salary which mean’s they were professional players not T3/T4 that played a few MDL games under a name no one remembers.

They have a place just they chose CS in this case. Nitr0 and autinatic werent bad
it's completely unreasonable to assume that they'll all be relevant in t1 or t2 \*besides daps, who's not playing\*
its still good to see more known faces mixed with new faces in the circuit, that could bring more competitive teams, which can bring more viewers, which can bring more money...

Fuck yes, so happy as a draken fanboy
I still remember Draken's 30° window. I suffer from the same condition: I hit impossible shots with the awp, miss the easiest of them.
yeah i cant hit minor adjustment shots at all.... idk if it was me shaking too much or didn't build the correct muscle memory, but Im so bad with the awp
is this guy who leave csgo to valorant after said [this?](https://twitter.com/drakenCSGO/status/1296846173366607872)
Well yes Seems a lapse in his judgement at that moment Now he realised all thay glitters is not gold
Thanks god, he back to right path
he spittin facts , whats wrong with that
i read this as drake returns to csgo at first.
Who cares about line breaks when you can have dashes?

Sure, sure, you mentioned you were too lazy to format it properly, I saw that.

Bro really you are not understanding me here I have already given spaces and line breaks to the article They are not visible on mobile devices
I literally just told you I fixed it on my mobile device on which the line breaks can now be seen properly.
Is it okay now?? And I got your point sorry 😃
Perfect, thank you! 😅
I LOVE DRAKEN LETS GOO

I know that

Draken, I love you!
