While most of the Counter-Strike<\/em> community is focused on playing the CS2<\/em> beta and anticipating which teams will be good in the new game, the professional players still have work to do in CS:GO<\/em>, according to s1mple.<\/p>
Before the major update to the CS2<\/em> beta<\/a> on Aug. 31, which added Premier mode and its own rating<\/a>, you could still see fans talking about the professional scene every day on places like the official subreddit. Now that CS2<\/em> seems closer than ever, though, CS:GO<\/em> post-match threads are barely making the first page. <\/p>
The current lack of interest in CS:GO<\/em> matches, though, isn’t affecting the way pros approach the remainder of tournaments. And s1mple<\/a> said he still cares about the results he can accomplish with NAVI at the end of CS:GO’s<\/em> cycle.<\/p>
All that we know so far is that Valve is releasing CS2<\/em> worldwide this summer<\/a>, which you would think means by Sept. 23, the last day of the season. The developer is still working on putting the finishing touches on the game and collecting as much feedback as possible, however. <\/p>
The only big tournament that we know is going to be played in CS2<\/em> is the PGL Copenhagen Major in 2024<\/a>. Tournament organizers like ESL are still waiting for the full release of CS2<\/em><\/a> before starting the transition.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
