How Baiting His Fanbase Turned a CS:GO Major Winner into Valorant's Biggest Streamer

- When it comes to the current esports’ zeitgeist, no discussion is more contentious than the CSGO vs Valorant debate.
On one side you have CS fans who are passionate, experienced and think Valarante is child gaem. Then there are the Valorant stans who are fresh-faced, enthusiastic and see their tac shooter cousins, as a bunch of butthurt boomers.
With the lines in the sand firmly drawn, almost all notable content creators and pros have made their allegiances clear.
But there is one colossal content creator who has chosen to navigate this battlefield, a little…. differently.
A despicable heel of a head clicker, who despite having written his name into the history books of Valve’s fabled franchise, has seemingly become the poster boy for its rival IP. Of course, I’m talking about no other than Tarik “tarik” Celik.

who doesn't love watching tarik jinx every team in his watch parties
its how faze won their major

Mr jinx

Cs or Valorant doesn't matter. But the fact is that Cs was going down before Valorant's release and after Valorant got dropped, valve had to pull up there pants and make the game better. To have two games is much better for both parties cause they push each other to be better.
This. People don't realize that competing games can be so beneficial towards eachother. Regardless of which game you prefer
@@doublecupdan7715 Additionally, not only for games. Just about every rivalry can make both sides strive for greatness (Efficient rivalry, that is).
exactly my thoughts. competition is *good* for the players in the end. remember when cs suddenly introduced pings after some time valorant was released?
Just like Terraria and Minecraft
Cs numbers were up before val’s release, p sure player numbers were ATH
Tarik watch parties are so fun, they usually get way more viewers than the official valoramt stream as well lol
yeah i love how he actually watches the gameplay
He is the main stream
*in NA matches
🤣☺️
@@rafay6937 cause he doesnt watch the eu ones lmao
Doesn't matter which game Tarik plays, we watch him bc We Heckin Love Tarik.
I still remember the time he whiffed the entire 5-7 magazine on a dude and he lost the knife duel when he pulled it out, then grabbing his chair in anger high above his head as if he was gonna yeet it into his monitor! :D
Bot loves bot 🤣🤣🤣also bots game botorant😂😂

@@shorthub_69 don’t think too hard brotha
I have the same opinions as Tarik, both games are fun and you play whatever you’re feeling that day. Since I’ve been playing csgo for so long I started getting back to valorant to spice things up and the game is also great.
Neither game is better since they both have aspects that can make a game better at a certain point while other not so much, csgo movement will always be the best movement for me, source engine’s spaghetti code will always have a special place in my heart, tho needing to learn a shit tons of line ups can be a bit tiresome and pretty daunting when learning a new map. Valorant abilities are unique and easy to use, you don’t need to rely to 3 other guys to know the line up and throw at a certain timing for a site execution, you only need one guy with an iPad, shooting mechanics was broken when run and gun was a huge thing, but now it’s fine as hell, no random spawns helps a lot and a great anti cheat, like seriously, the main reason why I recommend valorant a lot more is because of cheaters, VAC doesn’t do much and you can pit against cheaters a lot while valorant I haven’t see one till this day, but I still love both games.
Can’t deny the fact that content and beginner friendliness valorant is much better, but some gameplay aspects I feel that csgo is much better. Like whatever you want, both games are amazing
Russia didn't attack Ukraine and also Valorant is a shooting game. Both are same thing 🐸 NA bot tarik Kekw.. Only kekw people likes tarik bots stream
@@shorthub_69 lol
TL DR
@@shorthub_69 what the fk r u smoking man
@@alnilam1337 both games fun, play with you like.
i love tarik when he fumes it is so funny. He is a competitor and perfectionist and i appreciate that. The best streamer and content creator/influencer for the Valorant comunity.
his cs streams are much better, valorant is pretty boring

i used to love watch him playing with moe and stewie, man i miss his CS streaming
he plays with stewie in val if you want to check it out
same moe fuming at every little thing and stewie and tarik trolling...so much fun
Those were the best cs days with shroud and jasonr in 2016-2017
The way he screams for his life from brim ult 🤣🤣
i hecking love tarik, lifts my mood every time i see him
i hecking love tenz
really? everytime i tuned in i always got tarik saying "shut up chat, ban that guy, stfu"
@@bluebox2395 It's pretty much never super serious and usually all smiles and jokes anyway. Also everyone has bad days and tarik streams every day so..., not to even mention that chat is very often r worded as heck
@@bluebox2395 yea and it's usually wholesome. chat from time to time insults a group of people or whoever tarik is playing with, and he doesn't let those things pass.
always love it when Dimitri hosts another vid
The chubby one are better i think
@@piggybaggy242 no just no
Truee
Except when talks about his love for his zowie mouse.
I was really hoping for some clips from either of his Bros vs. Pros with Ludwig, Atrioc, and Stanz, especially since they did one for Valorant and one for CS:GO, and they were both hilarious. :(
You can just CZcams search it if you want to see it so bad lol
Tarik's VCT watch parties are so funny dudeee I love it!! XD
Love how in the funniest round ive ever seen 4 people get knifed and semphis is still mad about comms :D
To be honest, I think Valorant and CSGO share their fan base and it's awesome. I used to play CS but ignorance from Valve is what made me switch to Valorant. I still like both games, just prefer Valorant.
Same bro, I came from cs and switched to valorant too. The game is just way more fun to play plus you add the fact that the devs update the game so much bringing in new content like agents, maps etc. While fixing bugs/glitches in under a day.
I wish I could make the switch. Idk playing 4:3 so long in addition to valorant mechanics it just feels clunky and movement doesn't feel right. Not hating, like i said i wish i could make the switch, but i cant play it at all for that reason
My laptop gets way too hot playing CS, otherwise I would probably never touch Valorant again. Valorant specs are less demanding so it's what I play. It is fun, but I don't even watch the competitive scene, whereas I watch every CS tournament, wishing I could play the game lol.
Yep, it’s the consistent dev support that is the biggest plus factor of Val to me
I’d still play CS but the NA servers are dead.
Whoever did that adobe after effect thing with taric firing both Aks In the air I applaud the nuance involved in with it just being a subtle joke but how much effort it would’ve taken to nail down such a simple flash animation.
the clips of tarik that started at 3:20 man lmfaooooooo. classics. my streamer
I don't even like esports but i cant help but binge these videos! Well edited and very entertaining
I'm so glad I found Tarik he really is the content king
scientists are trying to find out why this guy takes so long to come to the point
watchtime
Entertainment
Lol
it's called articulating oneself, you wouldn't understand it. would you prefer he just insta-said everything? do you watch movies in 2x speed?
@@cherylno583 fuck yeah
Guy is entertaining af enjoying his stream everyday
I would love to see him take a shot with apex and I don't even play that game. It's just fun seeing worlds merge or someone who is talented in that game try this game.
timmy has asked him to play multiple times and tarik did say he wants to get better at it, just doesn’t want to spend time getting better at it
dapr (ex Valorant pro, obviously) plays Apex and I think he's pretty good at it. Nowhere near pro level, of course, but good.
@@sondernfy See that's interesting. I saw tenz playing lol and that was interesting. Then I saw shiphtur who is a retired lol pro play valo and he got to immortal.
Tarik is soooo cheeky. Somehow managed to gather new valorant fans while maintaining his CS fans through his personalities 🤣🤣
18:32 yes Tarik did 1v5 situation what a great ace by the man from Brooklyn.
I love both, I just went to Blast Lisbon and the energy was CRAAAAZY, but today I play way more Valorant
I immensely respect both games. Cs being the veteran tac shooter and valorant being the new and gimmicky tac shooter. They are both good.
I want to ask dimitri that was navi vs vitality the best final and one sided match
Before valorant cs was getting dull/lazy, 2019 was the year of the AUG/Krieg which finally made the community realized how much of cs’s playerbase just dickride pros, what they do and stay with the mentality that if its working, dont change it. Dont get me wrong, those 2 weapons were way too good but it has been like that since the beginning but no one wanted to try them out because why change from the m4/ak? And instead of balancing it valve just nerfed both to the point that both guns are kinda irrelevant now, same with every other gun. Devs were getting so negligent and the game became boring, they barely cared about the pro scene and only have a minor change every few years.
Valorant was a breath of fresh air, bringing cs and even overwatch, siege, fortnite, apex, etc pros to the scene and innovating the ceiling every week. Agent metas, guns, maps, strats were came up with and countered every patch and pro scene was fun, the community actually had a say and devs cared(at least more than cs). In valorant there never was as much of a rigid rule like in cs where you have to do this, or that doesnt work. People limit tested the game even to this day and its amazing to play. After which valve finally put some effort into the game and its better to play now, esp after the nade drop changes and map pool changes.
Both games have its flaws, but honestly having both games coexist is amazing for both scenes and esports in general.
Still waiting for a dimitri IEM dallas c9 video
watching tarik play high elo valorant gave me esea rank s nostalgia
never wouldve expected to see ben deen on the score esports lol
Tarik the Emperor Palpatine of shooters. Playing both sides so he always comes out on top
Nice Batman Beyond clip 0:36
The worst thing about the mid on mirage clip was that I knew what bogdaans law was the entire time :)
Tarik and Hiko shares the same fanbase, almost everyone is 25above, calm and mature that wants to talk about anything in a normal way that the chatbox is intended to. I love sitting right next to them everytime they stream.
tarik still loves csgo and valorant any time he shit talks one game its all jokes
7:12 THE BEST
Love that 5 minute intro, followed by an immediate plug-in very cool guys 👍
i play both, and i think shroud has a point, i only play cs now for fun and not give af abt line up
if i'm being honest i was never really that interested in CS until I got into Valorant. Now that I play Valo and follow the competitive scene, I actually like and follow CS as well
i heckin love dmitri
Yeah I could watch this but what I could also do is wait for the inevitable react session tarik will do and then watch that
we need one of these about myth
the rise of the content king
Miss his CS streams they were funny
wake up babe, third tarik video
THE CLOCK😩
we love this guy
The valve riot competition for me started with dota vs LOL but that game didn’t have much of overlap in terms of pros. CS GO, being very established in terms of esports when valorant popped off gave us this opportunity. Tarik is great at walking along the line between the two games, even I am convinced to try playing cs go bec of him.
The only reason i played valorant is because of tarik. I was a die hard CSGO guy and was playing it day in day out and never even gave valo a chance. Now im immo1 and play CSGO maybe once a week
Ayo, we gonna get theScore video about syd in Na'Vi now?
*Heaven Or Hell*
(Duel 1)
*LETS ROCK!*
15:56 good stuff
I started playing fps like a year and a half ago after playing MOBAs for like 15years and I started with CS but couldn’t handle the cheaters and left immediately :( now I enjoy both Val and CS but I just play Val most of the time since I have more skins there :P
its like melee vs ultimate
It’d be cool if his streams were split 50/50 cs and Val because I like his cs streams but the Val ones are always great too
nobody:
Dimitri: "his knack for ceremoniously clapping cheecks"
dmitri what's ur csgo sens
For me I’ve tried both out and valorant feels easier to learn but csgo doesn’t have a meta on who is good and who is bad and insta lockers so I think they both got their pros and cons and there are way more than just that
We heckin love Tarik!
9:52 JARSO.!
Mah boi Dimitrii!!!!!!!!
Something about Tarik "Tarik" makes me laugh
Both are good but im kinda mad, cuz i feel that Riot Copied half a map from CS (Inferno), but the music for the new map..... Beautiful
12:14 his hands do be looking like chamber.
Happy for him, games are to enjoy cs or valorant though I can never play valorant. Cs is love.
wonder how they put the olofboost in this video
3:45 was so funny HAHAHAHAHA
Tarik "Tarik" Tarik
5:03 huge respect for saying "Katowice" the way its supposed to be said instead of saying it with a weirdly sounding english accent like most people do
who's here after tarik watched this on stream
Hope he will play more when the source 2 comes out
Yeaaah, that never happened
@16:10 Ah yes, the days where JasonR and Tarik played together.
bruh we always forget that he was the MVP. Tarik is the GOAT
I love how Tarik died two times because of Sova
I love my tac shooter cousins in CSGO! I hope they know it’s not about who’s the better person, just, like, an age difference lol
every time I bounce into his stream I without fail, at least once hear him shutting down an argument in the chat about which game is better and always instilling the fact that people can enjoy both games at the same time and that you don't have to pick a side. This video is kinda off
Typical score video, filled with misinfo to fuel a narrative
Yep, thescore is fakenarrativ-generator to fish views. debunking this chanel in a detailed video shouldnt take too long.
@@rogerbacon7746 there’s no misinfo here. He said that at the start of Valorant Tarik did jokingly stir the pot between both games, which he did as seen in the video.
@@-6ix559 Not what I'm referring to.
Cartoon Network......Ex wife...... lmao the description HAHAHAHA
there is beef between val and cs pro scenes? i thought cs scene was dead for years
Did he Say dismantle
It sucks. i'm between both and play both frequently. just running between both.
F'in finally dude!
i love this dude
Man, all the utl really makes me wanna go play cs ranked but then I remember I’d probably be trash at cs
Tarik must hate sova mains judging from these clips lmao 3:10
I'd watch it too, if there was no kyedae in his watch party.
"No wonder it f*cking died". Meanwhile half a year ago CS:GO had a Stockholm Major with a viewership record Valorant will not beat in their future history
Fr bro, I don't know what that guy was on, he must be smoking some shit.
shaz has always been a clown lmfao
Shaz is irritating to watch honestly
obviously valorant will surpass that in the future but ya ofc cs isnt dead
@@floopyjoe500 2.7 millions of viewers? idk man, should be some super hyped Valorant match
Says sweaty competition but the first clip they play is him smurfing in diamond
I play both but I am wayyyy more intimidated playing CS, Valorant is more accessible but takes the same level of skill to be really good at. CS oldheads been playing some version of it for 20 years so getting counter strafed and one tapped in CS feels so much more like being behind in too many ways to catch up
TARIK DO CÉU!!!!!
NA will never let us forget that One major
I thought its timmy XD
viper saw him
Like this is why I dislike Dimitri if he knows so much about these games and community's then when he gets these scripts he would say this is not right. You can see Tarik being the bridge between these games. He is involved in both communities and it is awesome to see. He is the player who hasn't picked a side.
Okay but he made that point eventually did he not?
Not tar ick, tare ick
Not only is he a Major winner he is also that Major's MVP
which is mentioned in the video 10 seconds after they talk about him being a major winner...
@@uchihasasuke7436 but did you know he was a major mvp and hear this, won it?

Was there supposed to be a point from this video or was it just clickbait to end up explaining tarik’s history and just show clips?
Literal war criminal for both games😂😂😂😂
