Who has said that lol. It's probably the most bought game on steam
people have been saying that since gambling has been banned that the game competitively has been slowly dying
My opinion is that the peak today was like 500k people playing, a couple months back the peak would be like 650k. Also on twitch CSGO isnt as popular, mainly because of the Dota 2 international and the new hearthstone expansion that came out 2 days ago
