Is Counter-Strike easier than VALORANT? Both sides of shroud’s argument explained

As someone with lots of experience across both CS:GO and VALORANT, I’ve always had trouble making the case that either game is considerably harder than the other. But to one of the biggest FPS streamers, and someone with way more hours played in both, there’s no debate.

During a recent stream of CS2, former pro player and popular streamer shroud said with no uncertainty that Counter-Strike “is way easier than VALORANT…100 percent,” and added fuel to that fire by saying that one of the greatest CS players ever couldn’t hack it in in VALORANT. “I’m telling you…s1mple goes to VALORANT [and] he can’t compete.”
