Look. We got into a business talk early that never ended. So enjoy that. And then we talked about CS at the end. Enjoy that too. I lowered the intro music volume so hopefully it doesn't blow out your eardrums but if it still does.. 1) sorry 2) let me know in comments.
00:00 Intro, business talk waffle
1:34:40 Roster Changes, ESL Playoff teams
Spunj is suffering from post-EPL depression. Someone check on him
is there such a thing as post-EPL depression?
@@W4LT3Rego it's a thing after every tournament. Like post-Major depression. And it's worse when there's a huge gap between one tournament and the next
@@elizabethmurigi1131 I feel like EPL lasts long enough to feel relieved about it ending rather than empty
@@W4LT3Rego we all want good things to last forever, or at least I do. I imagine pro League to be like hanging out with friends and waffling about CS and other things because of the camaraderie
@@elizabethmurigi1131 I agree, though three weeks is a long time - I could imagine the talent needing a break
Hey guys. I just got through the part where Chad is malding because of some of the negative comments towards pro league. Personally, I just wanted to say that as a group I feel like you guys did extremely well this event. Group casts were pretty entertaining, despite a poor match here or there. I thought the content you guys made was actually really well done, and clearly took immense amounts of effort on everyone's part. 21 days straight of 100% energy for 12 hours of entertainment a day isn't easy and I thought you all did a great job. Shoutout YNK for the early take on finding enjoyment beyond just winning. Wise and level headed take imo. Thank y'all for the content. You guys rock! There's only more CS to come! :D
It might not be level headed, but there is no so such thing as enjoyment when loosing 😂
If the only reason to play is to win, you wont enjoy it when you lose. If you play to have fun, winning is fun but losing isnt as bad. Now this doesnt mean throw the game because its funny, winning is fun so try to win, but mostly enjoy your time youre spending with friends playing a game you enjoy.
I love pro-leauge casting, it's a good mix between being funny and also having elements of good casting, when something intresting happens in the matches.
I love how you guys let your emotions through, makes this show feel so relatable and authentic. Much love from Scotland, to many more hours of cs chitchat!
I absolutely loved what you all are doing on EPL, this was the first year I actually watched some of the group games because the production around it was awesome!
I was able to watch almost all of pro league n you guys killed it with all the skits the casts were spot on n kept the pace through out the day and made the longer days seemless. Fuck the haters there is nothing like CS events and you guys are the ones who make the scene what it is ❤
Don't listen to the haters guys, watching Pro League is always SO entertaining. Half the reason I love watching is because of the style of casting/the skits etc. Your guys hard work and enjoyment working on all the skits and interviews is so damn great. The laidback style of casting is more entertaining than the prestigious event style of casting. In fact I wish there were more YNK casts, I love the energy. Usually after a match I will just turn the stream off until the next game, but if I flip on Pro league and you guys are all just chatting on the couch I want to stay and watch cuz its so fun. I wish more CS events were as chill as that tbh lol
Another banger from Janko "fuck the players" Paunović and the boys.
LOTR skit and the dune one, best content ESL ever created
keeping hooxi.. if i want spunjs advice it'll be when i need my toilet fixed
would've been hilarious to do a quick (or maybe long) interview with moses while he was getting his makeup done.
honestly if anyone is going through something unpleasant a light-hearted jabby conversation would be golden for some bonus content.
Will watch later ❤
EPL format suggestion:
32 teams.
All Bo3 except for final match.
Fuck-off big Swiss bracket and that's it.
You play teams with the same win record, using Bucholtz if needs be.
Elimination after 3 losses.
When it's down to two teams, they play each other regardless of how win-record - Bo7 but you give auto wins on the first X maps, where X = 6 - the number of series losses by both teams (e.g. if it's a 4-1 team vs 3-2 team, then the final starts on Map 4/7 with 2-1 series lead to the team with the 4-1 record)
This removes one of the biggest downsides of the current format (i.e. you watch more games of the shit teams and fewer of the good teams)
If 3 teams all have the same win record, then they all play each other (3 matches total, starting with two lowest seeds/Bucholtz score), and then skip the next round of play (as they will have already played one more game than other teams)
If 5 or 7 teams somehow have the same win record, then you pair seed/Bucholtz 1 and 7 and 2 and 6 (or just 1 and 5) and then the middle 3 do the thing described above
"you're an idiot, this isn't sports" lmao. Imagine thinking that.
yeah that line was ehhhh
EPL casting was the best ever. Loved every bit of it.
EPL casting / broadcast this year was my favourite ever. "Win-Guardian Leviosa" was just the tip of the iceberg.
The best part about ESL pro-league is the laid back casting / all the goated skits
it reminds me alot of those cs summit tournys we had back in the day
I really hope pro league never changes. I listen all day during work, and it feels like I’m part of the group. It helps all the talent are my age. Pro league is my favorite even in CS.
love you guys :*
What is the intro song? Or is it an original? Its fire.
it is an original i think
i dont remember which ep, but its a friend of moses' who made a riff for it
It would be awesome if for a tournament they enabled pregame / halftime / end game comms between teams so we could hear shit talking.
1:20:05 I really miss the 360 setup where teams face each other, it makes for a much for immersive experience, for example the Boston major the players being able to stand up and be surrounded by the crowd to hype them up when it went into OT
The current stage setup kinda just blows you can’t even really see the players like at the Copenhagen major
Really enjoyed Pro League ❤
SpunJ has me rolling laughing

Its okay chad we all have these days, i had a bad run of days where for 19 games straight i couldnt even get a single kill. I would spray, hit a bullet or two and then die. It was so fucking depressing man. I totally understand how you feel. And I 100 agree with ynk on this one. Game needs to be more than about winning when you feel like you arent good/consistent at it anymore.
nice
♥
I think Teeqo got kicked from FaZe sadly 55:30
I can't help but wonder why valve doesn't use HLTV's ranking oficially. Is it just becuase they like to do stuff in house?
The HLTV ranking is well respected among all of the community, and if anything, HLTV would take the flack for making a bad ranking.
nobody would watch epl if the vibes were like in a normal event
Lol rpl lost half the viewers 🤣 that's why he got chatted with by the TO
Anyone know what teams or managers Chad was talking about at 49:00 mins?
G2 for sure cant think of the other one
could we get some timestamps pls
Fight club was the 2nd best skit...
@1:13:00 Strange that Yanko, who is European and therefore highly likely to know this, talks stragith nonsense here when literally the most popular sport and entertainment thing on earth, football, does have winter breaks in allmost all leagues.
I would really want to hear why Spunj thinks CS is not a sport? Why to hate your own sport?
cool event, idgaf about the casting... maybe nice to have an option though for visibly impaired audience to actually be able to enjoy the games perhaps.... I feel 0 sympathy for the guys complaining about having to work what is 3 normal work weeks for alot of people who have to do that year round
Bring back cs summit
I dunno what all the bitching is about I allways saw it it as a smaller more laid back event for players and casters. I enjoyed allot of CS and watched as much as I could (pretty much all games) some games more interesting then other ofcourse but all in all fun and relaxed event. You even have players commentating and such wich is great. Could it be better and playoff with more audience and improved format well ok sure then focus on that next year then. BUT ALL THIS BITCHING AND MOANING wtf go next tournament and improve next year GG!

For the love of god Chad get something else in your life Jesus Christ how can any grown man’s life revolve solely around a video game even if you are stacking money it has to be painful to confine yourself exclusively to the realm of counter strike, a lifetime of your vitality as a human being flowing into a video game it literally scares me to even imagine how crazy it must drive you deep inside your mind.

what the fuck lmfaooo

Go work your 6-6 job and pretend you have a life
