Sean Gares one of the greatest analytical minds in North American Counter-Strike mentioned that Counter-Strike is heading towards an esports favoured community. This comes basically on the back of lack of new content from Valve. There have been a lack of new operations, new maps from Valve. This has definitely pushed the community towards esports on the main subreddit.
I think what @3kliksphilip said about the /r/globaloffensive Reddit being almost solely esports is true. It's weird because it used to be so heavily sided towards casual players. Maybe a lack of new casual content inside the game has caused the shift? 😮
