unless tier 1 VALORANT goes into a complete dumpster to the point that it motivates him to make a return out of not wanting to deal with that shit, he's never returning to CS. Just no incentive or benefit.
@@ZIIMIIS1 yeah but that doesn't mean he's going to just return to CS if an opportunity comes. He literally stated in the same vid that he'd be willing to return but would only do so if the "environment" of the pro scene VALORANT becomes the same as what CS was like back then to him. Which is basically him saying that he'd do it if tier 1 VALORANT starts going into heavy shit to the point of no redemption.
@@psychological9890 What heavy shit? CS is getting more viewers, bigger salaries, bigger prize pools, more sponsors, etc. The reason is that NA is dogshit at CS so he'd, at best, be on a mediocre roster.
eh, he'll probably never return. What would even be the point for him doing so, there's genuinely like no benefit for him to returning unless tier 1 VALORANT completely falls apart and he just says "screw this" and just goes back to CS despite the fact that he hasn't touched this game in years now.
I think winning any CSGO major just would feel better than any valorant tournament coz the tournament structure is better (imo), Its a much older game so the storylines are better, and the most important the crowd is like waaaaay better which just makes the stakes feel higher.
@@Bonafidius What? No it wasn't. It wasn't a major, but ESL One had all of the best teams from all over the world and was one of the biggest tournaments of the year.
I really don't understand why u put all these incredibly hostile titles towards Valorant community because u actually seem like a pretty reasonable guy when it comes to the actual discussion video like do u just want to alienate anybody thats exclusively from the val's community because I don't really see whats the point of putting titles like these in basically any of your valorant related video
Typical Valorant community mindset. Always victim mentality and passive toxicity. Their devs themselves are just like this so can't blame the community. Just simply typing KYS in chat gives you a 7 day comp ban (and a full act premier ban in case you have a premier team) . What else do you expect from them? Grow up!
@@maverick_en its not even about CS v Val its literally just common sense as a content creator to want to have a larger audience and there's literally no benefit in alienating a specific community
@@Rusty_Justice I only follow the CS scene. It's just interesting how Ethan is labeled a "Valorant lackey" even though he competed at the top of NA CS for a few years and even made hltv top 20. It would be more fitting for a player who didn't accomplish anything in CS like Tenz
Its pretty crazy he's only 23, feels like hes been around for a much longer time
He was 16-17 grinding prime Rank S
Based title. EG beating Astralis is an insane feat.
Astralis is the most overrated team in CS history

@@rollingthunderinho bro did not watch cs in 2019
@@rollingthunderinho huh? you watched CS after 2018-19 or something lmao?
Dude is a beast we need him back in cs, he got his champions in valorant time to get a major in CS, great interview

Such a cool dude.
Great interview and hope he returns to cs some day.

Team houses were great. And great for content too. Miss the old CLG house in league.
Excited for the new NRG valorant roster! But I would be lying if I said “I hope Ethan only ever plays Valorant for the rest of his career” 🙏
every tac fps team needs an ethan

He didn’t win a major at all, it was as much prestige as a vct Americas LOL

oh gawd that device 1v3 on train.. thorin just had to say it.. fucking hurt as much yet again..
based nahte rekts valulrante xaxaxa
(its joke)
All I'm saying is... Astralis didn't win another major after ESL NY. All I'm saying.
Imagine winning Valorant champions but still pick a semi tier 1 tournament in cs LMAO. Valorant shit game
Ethan for liquid CS team anyone?
i feel like he’s not coming back icl
@@DEVILONBOTHSHOULDERSliquid hiring donk?
I remember ethan he was a pretty good player, however jks was always the better player out of the two.
No Ethan's prime was surpassing jks
no lol
what the fuck is that comparison? from where'd you get jks to compare :DD

He’s looking for view from upset Valorant fans and CS fans, it’s what makes the most sense
How is it hostile? Ethan himself said it in the interview

Surprised a valorant lackey like Ethan would taken part in this interview
Why the fuck would that even matter this is a Reflections interview lol
CS community try not to be butthurt challenge IMPOSSIBLE
