Just imagine prof and striker being the bartenders, spunj playing the regular standing beside them and a rotating roster of players having chats with others in the background
Last time they were bad before the major, this time they are already bad in between the cycle and its a fresh team aswell. Just the opinion from a G2 3-0 Picker :) But they shouldn't be underestimated just of that for sure
Astralis were literally 2 rounds away from not making it over heet idk how u can tell "its finally working", its still very weird, without konfig dropping double what he averages in map 3 astralis they go nowhere
Yeah, they need another consistent piece to... well, keep the team consistent. Atm it kind of feels like nip in the past where they relied on rez to pop off a little too much and when he didn't they felt kind of weak, but now that they have hampus and brollan rez has more chances to completely destroy people. Astralis needs "their own brollan" but the question then becomes "is there a player that they can sign over xyp" (whose kick is an entirely different discussion, due to the length of his contract): There are some potential players (such as TMB), but a lot of them don't have much if any experience at the top level, which astralis' management are probably scared to sign due to their recent woes with lucky and to a lesser extent bubzkji Bottom line, further changes definitely need to be made outside of farlig pulling a broky or k0nfig turning into niko at the major or some shit, 100%. Maybe not right away (as giving farlig a little more time to adjust would be wise), but if this continues...
FYI - BNE Juanflatroo did 2400 EUR damage after the celebration for qualifying for the Major. Which was paid by the owner of the primary Sponsor of BNE. Also from what was said it was damaged headsets not the monitors 😂
Striker, I love you and think you're brilliant... though I just thought there was one point I'd like to make about the talent drama. Why is Sadokist there? Or in any recent events? Like everything has been swept under the rug?
Unless C9 relocates the team to NA, they wil won't play the NA region. They might still be CIS, though C9 has said they will help the player relocate, so I wouldn't be surprised if they end up playing in the EU region. The location of the org alone has nothing to do with what region a team plays in (think of the BlameF version of Complexity, or french Envy)
Bad news eagles broke 2 headsets. Each worth 1200euro each. They did get fined, but their shirt sponsor Gjirafa said they would cover the broken equipment.. And they did hold their promise and covered it..
I think you are very wrong in some of your resoning regarding etiquette. These are well payed players. They should be able to take a photo with fans even after a loss. I get that you dont do selfies in bathrooms and stuff but otherwise, show up for the fans as much as possible.
Eh. Idk. They can do what they like. I wouldn't begrudge someone for not being in the right headspace to take photos. Ultimately they are pretty much only being paid to do sponsor work, media appearances and to practice and play CS. We are just here to watch and enjoy their game if we choose, they don't owe us anything else as players, in my opinion.
its simple... the swiss system is random... but the first round is drawn between conte sers vs challengers... basically 1 contender vs 1 challenger in round 1. its just like better teams get on weaker Teams first and weaker Teams on better teams
someone pls tell me why these guys and everyone else in the media have so much more patience with vitality who have looked horrible and completely shit on G2 who have actually had good performances? shit don't make sense
I think it’s mostly that vitality‘s biggest problem COULD be a language barrier and that one would fade with time. With G2 on the other hand everyone was speaking English for some time now so there‘s a lack of additional reasons why they perform so low compared to how they could/should perform
@@joshsolwin7449 yes, he is true, when vitality play shit, give them time, but when a team with a 16 years old and new igl play bad, they get much more hate and criticism
Having anyone paying taxes to Russia is a huge issue, right now Counter Strike is directly supporting a Fascist country by allowing Russian players play. Not taking a stand is despicable both by Valve, the TOs and HLTV.
on the casters: the fact that professionel caster that are getting pay for casting think a game i bad/boring etc. and then stop casting and start talking is completely uprofessionel and shouldnt be hired again no matter how bad the game is. it's their job and that they cant pretent to care even when they get money for it. they shouldnt ever be hired for any major, and thats half the caster on this years major.....
love the idea of a live hltv confirmed show in a bar enviroment - would be really cool to see a similar show during a IEM Cologne
only if prof is the bar tender in his trademark turtleneck
I’d prefer a by the numbers in a bar I’m sure thorin and Richard would say some hilarious shit with some drinks
Just imagine prof and striker being the bartenders, spunj playing the regular standing beside them and a rotating roster of players having chats with others in the background
Having only come back to CS in the last year, it’s awesome to see more teams from different regions. Mongolia, Argentina and Uruguay
The sentence "CLOUD 9 PYJAMAS" just sent my last 3 braincells into overdrive, then I remembered PYJAMAS are a thing outside of the CSGO team....
💀
The energy for G2 was the same last major, people were even putting them in 0-3 bracket for the pickems; yet they made it to the final…

They are just lucky af
they just never gonna win a tournament and you can save this comment choke2 fan !
@@edvards.krumins they are ending almost last place in tournaments kekw
not the same lineup homie. it would be shocking if they don't get to playoffs, but they will have to step it up big to actually make the finals again

@@scapegoat4 valde for xyp best change possible. More firepower and consistency. Valde can play any position and almost any role at a very high level.
@@scapegoat4 wait... konfig is the consistent piece, not his butt brother blamef?

Totally agree with asian regions getting more chances, we never really got to develop as a region due to no exposure
and forsaken...
I'm from the SEA area, but it's not just because of that. Individual skill is abundant. Teamplay is shit.
C9 polos and varsity jackets would be clean!
Snappi is probably the most humble albeit with the most to prove out of them three
It was almost an immediate "not this one" answer
Man, I love Lucas. But Dmitri makes the show so much fucking smoother. Just feel like he actually takes it seriously and doesn't come in out-of turn
man I didn't know RMR was on this accelerated schedule thing. I'm from NA and I missed half the faze maps... :(
Striker, I love you and think you're brilliant... though I just thought there was one point I'd like to make about the talent drama.
Why is Sadokist there? Or in any recent events? Like everything has been swept under the rug?
So how does this work. CIS roaster bought by NA org. So the team will be playing under NA region or it will be still CIS region
Unless C9 relocates the team to NA, they wil won't play the NA region. They might still be CIS, though C9 has said they will help the player relocate, so I wouldn't be surprised if they end up playing in the EU region.

@@McBobghost Yah got it. Sorry forgot about the French Envy team and all. Thanks for your explanation
Is the matchmaker thing gone? I liked that
it was sponsored by parimatch who isn't a sponsor anymore
HLTV please upload this episode to castbox I think you forgot thank you :)
M0nesy kinda reminds me off oldschool draken back in NIP, he would hit crazy flicks but no static shots

@@sargeant45 I would not get mad if a player turned me down. But they should be prepared and aware that people will approach them either way
What are the differences between contenders and callengers seating?
Seeding

36:20 great topic. Like you comment it.

Peace out ✌️
Has no one thought of - misutaaa + AMANEK yet? I feel like that would be a huge upgrade
Is this a joke?
or jks
This would have been a brilliant move before the team went international. Now it wouldn't really work
@@ceoherohub2584 jks might be the best support player rn. But amanek would be good for double awp which vita did a lot with shox
G2 would be fine if Aleksib can step it up.
Striker still salty about Thoorin :D
CLOUD9 x Ralph Lauren
i dont know what arguing u guys are talking about with navi? they seem good as a team
Would be cool if you guys talk more about SA cs
G2 - Lol at the overreaction of a ocuple of BO1's. Recency bias, the podcast
I mean recency is how they are playing right now sure its a bias and can be inaccurate but is useful
CHOKE FANBOY your choke2 team almost LOST to astralis playing 4v5 xyp9x wasnt in the server they NEVER GONNA WIN a tournament HAVE A NICE DAY!
