Counter-Strike 2 Not Ready For Pro Level Competition Says Twistzz

Is Counter-Strike 2 esports-ready? According to FaZe Clan pro Twistzz, the answer is a resounding no. Join us as we dive into Twistzz's candid assessment of Valve's latest release and the concerns surrounding its viability in the competitive scene.
🚀 Launched in September 2023, Counter-Strike 2 surprised the gaming community by swiftly replacing the iconic CS:GO. The abrupt transition, just weeks before the next CS:GO Major, left fans and pros alike eager but cautious about the new installment.
🌟 Meet Russell "Twistzz" Van Dulken, a true legend in Counter-Strike. With a career spanning since 2016, Twistzz boasts an impressive resume including stints with powerhouse teams like Liquid and TSM. As a 4-time HLTV Top 20 player, Major champion, and 2-time Intel Grand Slam winner, his insights on CS2 carry significant weight.
🗣️ In a recent Twitter post, Twistzz didn't mince words about CS2's readiness for the Pro level. He highlighted various issues, from inconsistent movement to clunky spraying and concerns about peekers advantage, sparking a crucial conversation about the game's state.
📢 Twistzz isn't alone in his criticisms. Fellow pros and veterans have echoed his sentiments, pointing out areas like the game's "super unfinished" feel and a glaring absence of an anti-cheat system.
🔍 As we approach the first major LAN event on CS2 at IEM Sydney, Twistzz remains hopeful that exposure will be the catalyst for improvement. Only time will reveal if Valve can fine-tune CS2 into a worthy successor, but as it stands, consensus holds that this Counter-Strike isn't quite ready for the big leagues.

Playing cs2 at the e-sports level will put on even more pressure to make the game better so I hope its played as much as possible professionally.

Good take, the game sucks rn it’d be good to showcase it to the devs so they can see what shit they’ve made

[@Suryashis_]

I just have one take here. CS2 is not Esport ready "in comparison to the standards set by 2023 CSGO".
CSGO on release was way worse and was still adapted into esports pretty fast, which under went many changes over 12 years to reach the 2023 CSGO version. People have a certain set of expectations from the game, so they are unable to swallow it when the game we got doesn't meet that expectation. But it will soon meet that expectation. Patience and constructive criticism is the way.
I really did not like the Shroud take that CS dies because of CS2 and Simple's take that you should not play the game at all till it perfect. That sounds ungrateful to Valve, but Valve gave them the platform to become famous and be what they are today. They shouldn't slander it like that, especially when Valve is constantly working to fix the game. Everyday new updates.

I keep hearing this game is broken and I agree. However my humbleness makes me believe I’m just a washed up boomer coping.
