    I’ve been excited for 90% of the changes coming over to CS2. The game for sure needed a shakeup. I think valve did it in the best way possible. I always hold S2K as CS’s original zoomer. And I feel like valve took everything from his 2016 heart and presented it to us all in CS2. The effects on the pro scene will only be profound and take it to a different level

I mean shit, in GO I think our final major hit box update was published in 2016. Until September 2015, the hit boxes were straight trash and super exploitable.

  • @eckowezen
    @eckowezen 22 дні тому +2

    I don't understand why your benchmark for whether or not a year is boring is how predictable it is to say who will be #1 of the Top player ranking. This ranking is pointless, IT'S A TEAM GAME!
    The game has been so fun to watch in the last few years:
    - So many raising talents
    - The gap between T1 & T2 greatly narrowed, bringing strong contenders for titles from T2 (Ence, Mouz)
    - The casting and analyst desks keep getting better and more professional (great job for your excellent contribution to this!)
    In my opinion CS keeps getting better. The last major was the best I've ever watched.
    I think there was a switch about 2-3 years ago in CS where having a superstar player doesn't necessarily mean you'll go deep in a tournament. And teams with no superstars but highly consistent and versatile players (Heroic, VP, Ence, Mouz) managed to challenge the best teams, while they failed before. Teamplay overall improved dramatically and it makes it great to watch

    Overall, what this means is that we will be witnessing the year where the new generation will slowly overtake the legends and established players.
    The names that today people will consider 'How are these players together winning anything?' to them losing anything being considered an upset.
    2018 was a year where I lost interest in cs given Polish VP fell apart at the time, this year makes me feel like I want to see even more of it than I ever did.
    Now if I got to see a Polish team that can consistently get into Katowice playoffs, that would be a sight for the eyes...
