Despite Valorant only being announced two days ago, many CS:GO pros have already announced their intention to swap to Riot’s new FPS.
Long-time Counter-Strike pro, Jaroslaw “pashaBiceps” Jarzabkowski, was invited to test out Valorant and his excitement looks like a sign he might be planning a comeback to the competitive FPS scene.
Similar to pashaBiceps, Fabien “KioSHiMa” Fiey was a CS:GO pro who has played for multiple organizations. KioSHiMa has so much faith in the new Riot Games FPS shooter that he is already saying the game will eclipse CS:GO. He has also already announced that he will be competing in it.
Jaryd “summit1g” Lazar is another notable name to join the possible Valorant pro scene. He’s a retired CS:GO pro who found better success as a streamer. But, make no mistake, summit1g is an FPS veteran and is already looking for players to link up with for Valorant.
