Ukrainian professional DOTA 2 player Illya "Yatoro" Mulyarchuk, a two-time champion of The International, compared the two most popular esports shooters during one of his live streams and expressed his preference for Valorant.

The two-time The International champion Illya "Yatoro" Mulyarchuk expressed his opinion about the two most popular disciplines in the shooter genre, namely Valorant and CS2, during his personal broadcast on Twitch. He expressed his liking for the game from Riot Games due to its uniqueness and lively world, which he feels is much more vivid than Valve's project.

VALORANT is brighter and more lively than CS2. Here the characters interact. There are abilities, and you have to think about how to use them, not just shoot. There are heroes that don't require you to spend time on lineups, smokes, etc. For example, a hero similar to Reyna, where you just go out and hit or get hit. Therefore, the game is much simpler to learn, more colorful, and more interesting.

Besides the advantages in Valorant, the Ukrainian esports athlete also expressed his opinion on the shortcomings of CS2, namely its monotony and predictability, which is not the case with Valorant, where each firefight looks more colorful and unique due to the agents' abilities.

I don't like CS2 because it's just boring. Each round happens approximately the same way. Don't tell me it's about the economy. In VALORANT, there are abilities and ultimates, so here the team fights look impressive when everything is used. The game is just plain more beautiful visually.
