The 23-year-old e-athlete Russel “Twistzz” Van Dulken won a major tournament in Counter-Strike 2 (Steam) with his team FaZe. But Valve won’t have liked the way he celebrated. Because he talked about the weaknesses of the new shooter: The ping is a real problem and makes a lot of things random.
Who is Twistzz in CS:GO?
Player doesn’t leave CS 2 well after the tournament
This is what the player said: One might now expect the player to celebrate his victory and the windfall with exuberance, but he first took to Twitter and wrote shortly after the tournament victory:
Now that the event is over, I would like to share my current feelings about CS2.
He then complained about:
You can see in the clip that he didn’t catch the opponent in time, but still got a kill even though he didn’t even see the opponent. It all just doesn’t make any sense.
Everything felt better in CS:GO. In CS2, the ping now feels incredibly important and he has to base his entire game on it, especially in order to catch opponents.
He then gives a variety of examples of other problems in the game, such as randomly occurring problems with the height in the game or with clipping.
This is what lies behind it: Valve obviously still has a lot to do here before the e-athletes feel that they have truly earned their high prize money in CS2. The problems appear to violate the sporting integrity of the game.
Even when it was released, there were complaints about Counter-Strike 2 from qualified sources:
