    This is what shroud thinks about CS2

    What opinion does shroud have about the new CS2? Counter-Strike 2, which remained in beta for a long time, was finally officially released on September 27, 2023. The community was eagerly awaiting the game and had high expectations.

    But Twitch streamer shroud was extremely critical in his live stream on October 1, 2023. During the stream, he initially criticized some gameplay aspects, particularly the smokes. But then he surprised his viewers by claiming: “I think this game is dying. CS dies at two. I think that’s true. I firmly believe that.”

    A fellow player then questioned his negative assessment, to which shroud replied: “I think this game is the end of Counter-Strike. I mean, we had a good run, right?”

    How does it compare to Valorant? The gaming community is eagerly watching how Counter-Strike 2 will develop. Many Twitch streamers who previously mainly streamed Valorant are now also venturing into the new Counter-Strike adventure. However, opinions are divided.

    shroud had also addressed this topic a few days ago. During a discussion, he said that Valorant is currently the “number 1” first-person shooter. He emphasized that he was not referring to player or spectator numbers. He added: “I promise you, CS2 is easier.”

    While Shroud may be pessimistic about the future of the Counter-Strike franchise, the fact is that Counter-Strike 2 is currently the most played game on the Steam platform. The discussion about the fate of this shooter series will certainly continue for some time as the community eagerly awaits further developments and updates on Counter-Strike 2.
