Professional players believe that "CS2" is currently inferior to "CS:GO" and are dissatisfied with V agency replacing it.

"CS: GO" is Valve's most played game on Steam, with the peak number of simultaneous online users exceeding 1.8 million. Over the past 11 years, the game has gathered a large community of people who have grown to love its casual and competitive elements.

However, with the release of Counter-Strike 2, CS:GO was replaced (covered). For casual gamers, Counter-Strike 2 isn't all that different from its predecessor, but for pros, this new iteration of the series brings some changes. In the days before the release of "Counter-Strike 2", many professional players believed that it was not as good as "CS:GO".

Counter-Strike 2's launch wasn't without its faults. The game introduces long-awaited changes, such as improved tick rates through the first tick update, allowing for a more seamless experience and faster reaction times. In addition, new features such as volumetric smoke also help to increase the realism of the game. Despite these changes, pro gamers aren't too happy.

According to PCGamer, players HooXi and others from G2Esports said that there are still some problems in the game. He pointed out that the launch state of "Counter-Strike 2" is much better than that of "CS: GO", but it is still not as good as its predecessor "CS: GO".

HooXi said: ""CS2" has not surpassed "CS: GO", and it is not even close."

Another professional player Volt said: "CS2 needs more improvements before it can officially replace "CS:GO"."

Despite facing many criticisms, there are also professional players who have confidence in V and are willing to stick to playing "CS2" because it will continue to evolve.
