where's the source of these players?
so the thing is with cs is
did it consistently lose playerbase prior to the matchmaking update? was the added players people coming back to csgo, 1.6 / source players switching over, or new players?
with tf2
there isn't "another version" that people can switch from (unless ow players switch to tf2 lol), tfc isn't really alive at all. are there tons of players that need matchmaking as an impetus to return to tf2?
like you can't just say "add mm and it'll go from 10k players to 3x a year million dollar majors overnight / over the course of two years"
