There is still Falcons, qualified to the RMR for the french's side. KennyS on Paris stage would be awesome.
would be awesome
it didn’t happen bro ☠️☠️☠️
AceZone made that man glow up i aint even gonna lie his hairline even got better
I think the ace zone headsets look cool but they seriously need to push review samples out to all the major reviewers on youtube. I am not going to drop hi fi headset monetos on something unless it is truly excellent and op. We need some independent reviewers up in here Lau.
Working on it as we speak
@@AceZoneio As a fellow dansker, this looks very promising and I am particularly interested since I game in a noisy room sometimes and have a lot of trouble hearing footsteps because I'm also very adamant about not turning up the volume and damaging my hearing.
Looking very much forward to the reviews
👍
yeah that’s actually a goal of theirs but they are a startup and pretty new! that’s why that asked me to be a brand ambassador so they could start showing the CS community about them. maybe i could do an official review :D
@@fVNzO Vi har dig, fam. This is some of the stuff that we really focus on when designing products, so can't wait to show you guys some more.
Such a clean video. Tight editing and good flow. Enjoyable advertisement for the headset as well. Great work to you Launders and to whoever helped put this together.
This edit is so clean. Nice one Lau
Thanks for the impact update. Keep it coming!
Bro where's the POV demos? Is he not doing them anymore? It's been 2 months....
I wanna see Katowice
Vids are suuuper good. Need more of those!
I can add another piece of news to the list:
Loba and D0cC made it to the asian rmr. Would love to see these guys in the major :D
Hey Lau, the new format for videos is great but I would still love to see another day w another deemo
Sick video style. We need more of this. Feels like a cool The Score Esports video, but with someone who actually has a clue what they are talking about, and not reading something someone else wrote 😬😬😬
Great video lau! I like the slime stuff in the background too, pretty cool. And your shirt.
Great content Lau. That ad transition was mega smooth. Not dropping my Sennheisers until those cans get independent reviews tho 🎧
they’re looking to mail em out for reviews already!
Video style is clean. Props to the guys in the back.
G2 have already overtaken navi in consecutive map wins in Katowice finals itself. They’re at 2nd place after Nip at 21.
I don't see NaVi performing well enough to beat it for a while now
We all know it was Scrawny on the other side of that AceZone headset, only one man could get compliments like that from Lau
Boombl4 isn't actually IGL'ing its Nickleback who is calling from what I was told
Cool videos man keep it up Mr Lau
lezzz go new lau vid
damn i loves lau's content .
much loves mann
i love this to off video format
Maybe i got it wrong but there is one french team in the RMR FALCONS is there
Thanks for the content! You didn't do it on this video, but I'm really curious to know how/where you get a pro's pov from their tournament matches. There's some players I want to watch to improve. Would love a comment or video on where you pull them from!
hltv.org has demos available for download on every match page :)
@@launders thank you!
2:23 I thought it was NickelBack that was the IGL?
I think we need like 0.2-0.4 between a lot of these cuts in your monologue lau, much love homie ❤ try not to leave youtube for months on end aye? I'm on the road and haven't watched a demo in weeks bro
I must say I absolutely am loving the shirt! Had to scroll back as I got distracted 🤣😅🥰 keep up the good work! Big fan of you casting!
launx always bringing banger titles. ggwp
launders pls what is the music???
good video, maybe consider talking about NA/SA RMR/Teams. Kinda frustrated that every cc only talks about EU cs
2:23 boombl4 isn't igl anymore, nickelback is
what a great video, beautiful editing, beautiful host
1/10 editing 10/10 content 10/10 lolz keep em comin'
yo your vids are great bro. I miss the dynamic duo casting!
Nice of you to talk about women's league, I wish I had time to follow it.
Nickelback IGL's for 1WIN Boombl4 is a rifler afaik
whattup coach!
I could listen to lau speak for hours lmao
i love you launders
You forgot, loba and docc in asian rmrs
I miss the big boom!
isn't falcons qualified for the rmrs? they are french?
Finally Valve made Queen Jaguar shirts!
EYEBALLERS and Honoris qualified to the RMR? They didn't, right?
Since you're playing Fantasy this season, can you make some fantasy content it will be awesome, love
Also syrson benched himself and funny enough it's not hyped who's stepping up, it's actually the likes of krimbo faven and k1to who make this roster quite competitive atm. Is it a honeymoon, just coincidence or was syrson maybe not the best fit for the team/the problem? Did this change made tabsen call a different style and will it last? I'm interested to see what will happen with them, even though my beloved syrson is gone nohomo, but also I don't want to get the hopes up just yet. I know syrson isn't the most charismatic but I really enjoyed his playstyle and what I liked about him was the ability to keep up with the really good awps.
W
what about Falcons big guy haha
bring back the deemos
Ok
5mins with lau? ambatukam
No demos anymore?
great video, but i expected some syrson news tbh
oh shoot forgot about him 😔
Falcons are qualified so they will be at the RMR
No ESL group A news? It just wrapped, bro
i recorded this a bit ago. news is hard 😌
@@launders You are doing a great job tho, top notch cs content
boombl4 is not an IGL for 1win, NickelBack is
I always feel conflicted with separating the sexes for competition in csgo, I dont see any reason why some female pro players couldnt rise through the ranks to be on a good team in the male division, there certainly have been female pros capable but at the same time there would be so few of them i do understand why its been segregated but there isnt anything biological stopping them playing together in smth like the 1500m sprint, how r they supposed to get to male tier 1 cs only playing against other female teams, the statistics for female to male pros make this impossible.
Totally agree. Never understood the separation
Saying there isn't a biological component is factually inaccurate. It's not an insurmountable obstacle such as in traditional sports, but it's absolutely a factor. If a male CSGO pro and a female CSGO pro were of equal talent, put in the same amount of effort, and developed the same skill set, the male pro will almost always be better than the female pro because the neurochemistry of men is simply better tailored for this type of competition. Plus, until we get to the point where we're interfacing via Neuralink or any other mental interface, there is still the physical component of manipulating a keyboard and mouse.
Also, your statement's only half true. There's no male division; it's the main division and then the female division. At any point, NAVI for example could pick up a female pro player if they wanted to. If female pros really wanted to, they could play in the main division at any time. The issue is, the level of competition there is simply too high for them to thrive, hence why TOs are forming women's circuits in order to allow women to compete at a lower level, which is a universally good thing. Before female-only tournaments, women could only choose to play in the main division, hence why you would never see female teams make it.
Anyhow, TL,DR: Women can play in any tournament so long as they're good enough, there is a biological component, and this whole comment is filled with misconceptions.
@@zettour. just curious, you got sources for any of these claims?
@@queenTeigh The source for whether women can play in the main CSGO tournaments is in the rulebooks. As for the biological differences, I've had too many discussions over this so I'll copy and paste here. Don't mind any disdain that may be present since the person I replied to was incredibly belligerent and you're absolutely fair in asking for sources. So:

[ Spatial Ability ]
"Sex differences had much smaller effect sizes but were evident, with females outperforming males on attention, word and face memory, reasoning speed, and all social cognition tests and males outperforming females in spatial processing and sensorimotor and motor speed."

[ Competitive Ability/Pressure Tolerance ]
"Overall, these findings suggest that men were significantly more socially motivated in the presence of another competitor, at least in terms of attention in a physical effort task.", "Furthermore, male participants showed faster RTs and greater sustained effort as a result of a competitive environment, suggesting that males may be more affected by competition in physical effort tasks."

"The analysis takes advantage of a major education reform in Ontario that exogenously increases competition for university grades. Comparing students prereform and postreform using rich administrative data, I find that male average grades and the proportion of male students graduating "on time" increased relative to females. Further, the evidence indicates that these changes were due to increased relative effort rather than self-selection."

[ Learning Style/Knowledge Difference ]
"According to the results, male students preferred to use the kinesthetic learning style more than females, while, female students preferred the aural learning style."
Citation: Sarabi-Asiabar A, Jafari M, Sadeghifar J, Tofighi S, Zaboli R, Peyman H, Salimi M, Shams L.

Sidenote: I also came across innumerable studies that collectively agree on a difference of distribution between men and women when it comes to factors such as IQ, athleticism, mental acquity, etc. For example, the study of reaction time (RT) between male and female medical students also saw that male students were more prone to mental disabilities while also being more likely to have more geniuses. This is because the distribution of overall mental and physical ability is between men and women is different as the male distribution is a much flatter bell curve than women's. What this means is men occupy the extremes (both good and bad) while women occupy the average. I could further substantitate this point, but I'd have to write a full report on it to do so, of which we can both agree I do not owe you that luxury.
@@zettour. thanks for the info!
falcons qualified for the rmr
granny Lau in cheetah print is never the play
i dont trust a g2 era as much as i trusted navi, in face, g2 look more individualistic compared to the navi era where there were really nice trading+supporting
How many cheetahs were sacrificed for you to look fly Launders? 🤣
Navi era left with boombl4
I love you bro but please change the background
love these videos, hate ur shirt D:
My general feeling about boomblyat is that people didn't particularly like him honestly.
Nice vid but I think you left someone out 🤔
JKS BABY DIDNT EVEN MENTION HIS NAME
We won't see any era of any team in this version of the game anymore. The word era should no longer be brought up/mention if a person is smart enough. All the good teams are now at their peak and anyone can beat anyone on a given day. Its no longer the NIP / Astralis days when there were still noobs in top tier who havent mastered the game yet the way teams have mastered it now, so there could be more chances of getting more wins for someone who used their practice time more efficient thus getting great results etc back in the day, but these days in 2023 everyone already knows how to aim, mastered micros, macros, knows the game in and out, so that these days it comes down to very little situational decisions/mistakes that decide the matches. There will be days where teams outside of top 10-15 will beat top tier 1 teams and that shouldn't be a surprise in 2023 unless you are totally lost and are still surprized that is happenning, so top teams that should win every event could still win here and there, but they will not be able to win consecutive events in a row for them to be called the new era team. It just wont happen in this version of the game where most teams have now mastered the game to perfection (with some limitations, but u should get the point). That time is over, and its good. IT makes it interesting and if a team outside of top 10 beats the team that was expected to win the event, well, sorry, its not why you think they lost, its just what i said above, teams can now beat anyone if they get up o nthe right foot etc, so, no, there will never be an era in CS:GO, this particular version of the game at least, so stop mentioning the word and just enjoy the games!
leopard print daddy is back with a video, wake the f up people.
Loving the news vids
I comment to help statistics
320$ the cheapest headset XD
no
Bro looks like he's supposed to be hosting a dating show for Hollywood.
falcons qualified bro, but that doesnt mean they will qualify for the major
NO & NO
brother lau man I cant afford $500 headphones brother man quit shouting them out its gonna make miss rent payments or something
g2 era already over bruh
Covering female cs is really cool. I won’t lie I don’t keep up with it but I know there is some amazing players in the female league that definitely deserve some coverage.
My wishes have been fulfilled 🙏
Any team can win tbh. No one saw outsiders winning Rio, nor Mouz going as deep as they did in Rio.
Do people really think the NIP 87 - 0 is a real thing? that was basically against bots with no real strategies and they all played bad, I dont believe that should even count in 2023. Its a different cs, so a lot of that needs to be forgotten since its not important anymore. A team who wins 20 maps in a row today is superior to any NIP that has ever existed ever anywhere at any stage
