Love your content nart, plz come on more podcasts love hearing you talk cs ! ❤
everything good but I don't agree with your bad point as valve just corrected this by having the major as the last event of the season from shanghai major forward
i’m still dying over “vitality should pick up niko as an IGL”
The way that's been framed, I hope everyone understands that it's not his sister who cause this, but his decision to attend her wedding. Because it's still a decision he can make.
UNLESS he already knew about this, which would make it an easy choice to attend it if he's already out.
I can't believe Hooxi sister's wedding basically just got him benched
Destiny 😂
Key thing, it was all part of the plan.
Sister was getting sick of it and got married to cut him
I think Hooxi's calling and play for the last 6 months is what got him benched, the wedding just determined his replacement
@@mikeadams6036 yeah obviously his performance is what caused it, but it's still funny how G2 winning the tourney in this exact moment became the turning point for their management to finally commit to that decision lol
we need an emergency episode on the snax signing!
-Hooxin +Snax is actually wild
Got better fragging but worse calling. This move can backfire massively
I like snax but he's not that good of a caller
Taz 🤷
@@juanframetallica82 have you seen GL's roster? youre delusional
@@juanframetallica82You can't get much worse calling than HooXi. He's got good strats, but I'd rather ask the 8-ball sticker than go to HooXi for what to do in a midround. The first 10 seconds of a round decide it for G2 as a team, unless m0NESY/NiKo put up a multikill. Absolutely clueless at developing a round, reading opposing teams, or calling around his players. G2's No. 1 issue since Day 1 has been the teamwork and at least half of that is due to the piss poor calling. With HooXi at the helm, G2 have never looked like they had any idea what any of their players are doing at any point in time. Move him to coach where he belongs.
Also, Snax didn't have much time with the new GL roster. The old roster was doing nothing. I've seen people criticize GL's T-side, but that's ignoring that their Top 3 maps are Overpass, Nuke, and Ancient. That's the Top 3 most CT-sided maps in the pool right now. Not everyone can be peak Astralis where you just have an unbeatable T-side Nuke, a map where the only control T-side has is Lobby.
2nd favorite podcast behind htpm
htpm?
@@justaneverydaycatiguess744 Hot Take Point Made.
I also really like Feed the Trolls with Techgirl, just a shout out
@@suide3275 agreed, banger of a podcast as well
@@suide3275 true its really good
Oh.. I thought it was Dexter joining in..
It was Nart. XD
Like, when the hell did Dexter join NaVi?! XD
I'm Asian and thought the same xd
@@richard-jy4lr ditto
he looks more like Ana from dota
Oh my god G2 Snax
Dexter, the kids called, they miss you back down under!
Goat awper
Awesome seeinng Nart with these guys!
Nart: Thorin, you honestly intimidate me. 😟
Also Nart after every other joke: 😐 poker 😐 fakin 😐 face 😐
Thorins metaphors were out of pocket in this one 😂
I am now calling it: Liquid HooXi
Edit: Welcome fnatic f0rest and cadian?
whoa I didnt expect nartouthere to be on the podcast
i didn’t expect a zach lowe reference today! 2 of my worlds crossing over was cool to listen to. nice show
Nart: With... Hooxi... if you look at his numbers... there like... all red...
he does nade lineup videos, which isn’t really podcast material i guess
i was hoping he’d have more input but it was a 2 man podcast
On the topic of content, I’m glad we have such a plethora of great content and talk shows. Most of it being at least somewhat tangentially connected to Thorin and RL.
i needed this rn
Bro when thoorin said about G2 "im guessing their next player is an igl, im just guessing". We all knew he had info 😂. What a king.
As a regular viewer of the show, I am disappointed with Nart's appearance as a guest in this episode. He wasn't very communicative and didn't willingly involve himself in the conversation. Additionally, he didn't thoroughly elaborate on his points, which often led to awkward silence as Thorin and Maui expected him to say more.
He is a more reserved person and this is one of his first appearances on a podcast. He will get better the more podcasts he appears on.
True. Being reserved etc. is OK but elaborate your fucking point man. It is the concept of the (any...?) show.
It's unfortunate but expected if you've ever seen any of his free-flow content (Pick Em videos, his own podcasts, patch reactions, etc). He just has a problem with expanding on anything.
@@danboing3864 yeah thats all fine and maybe hes the nicest guy ever but don't bring him into a show where the whole purpose is to articulate your thoughts then?!
@@vinceington2540 "Expected *if you've ever seen any of his free-flow content* ". If we look at that list, realistically how much of it has Thorin seen? I really, really doubt that he watches Nart's Pick Em videos or patch reactions, and the only podcast I can think of of Nart's Thorin might have seen is that one on women in esports he's referenced a couple of times on BTN/other shows in a comedic sense because it had like 15 women and then Anders on the panel for some reason.
Another Snake & Banger 🔥
Nart was really bad on this podcast. Please no more. He added nothing and legit just wasn’t following the convo and had to ask you what your question was multiple times.
@@BiggestBrainBro you can be more encouraging to someone who is new to this dick head
Good show as always, Nart a fab guest too.
legendary, great episode 🔥🔥🔥
Finally I know who is constantly commenting on all CS content
Aren’t the majors going forward going to be the last tournament before the player break (tournament break). Pretty sure that’s been known for a while now. This should’ve been an ugly point since the schedule got scuffed due to the release timing of CS2. Therefore we didn’t get a fall/winter major in 2023 and we got an early Major for 2024. But that all gets straightened out by Shanghai. And by 2025 things should be smooth.
Bit of a moot point yes.
I'd love to see f0rest back in action on a legit lineup but it doesnt help his case that his latest tweets are about him competing in apex haha
exceedingly rare tremendously based mauisnake segment
Nart looks like Dexter’s little brother
Thorin calling maui a norbert day trader is one of the funniest things ive heard in a while
Maui glorious as always
nart didnt have much to say 😮
40:59 Valve could "force" a player break by installing a period of a month after the majors where tournaments don't count towards the Valve ranking. They would have to announce this a couple of years in advance together with the new majors so there can be planned around it
Great vid, thx - so true the reflections on content creators - lol, but also sad.
you needed to wait just a few hours to include snax as IGL in this episode
Yeah nartouthere is a crucial resource
Fire content
world class banana-taker like niko
🤤
"The Best There Is, the Best There Was, the Best There Ever Will Be" - jL, talking about Thorin
LMAO Thorin again uploading a podcast right before another roster move
Snax for the vibes
I wish By the Numbers was still around for a live reaction to Hussein and Osama
zoolander jl skit idea had me creasin
Kjaerbye already played for Jijihao before he had his showmatch, no?
W for the f0rest topic
I thought they were getting NartInHere. But this Out guy is better.
41:42 We need a Transfer Window... after a couple of months roster are locked until the next transfer window.
In football you have player break and transfer window, that is a much better way of telling teams, you have X amount of time to see if you need to make a desperate move after that, work it out.
Nart seems to be cool guy!
W guests!
Don’t know who NartOutHere but coming on a show and barely even listen to what the hosts are talking about less so engage with their points or add his own was certainly a choice.
Oh my word.. Nart! hahahaha great
mentioning zorte is so funny
Daytrading norbert is crazy
Nart, hardworking as always. You have made it 🎉
Nart my GOAT
This guest has less opinions than my fucking dog lol
the optimism in this episode is hilarious. "anybody is gonna be an upgrade over hooxi for G2, they're gonna go far from here" 3 hours later and they announce... snax????
Comment for the algorithm
f0rest to fnatic, I'd be watching every game!
Assuming they either get invited or make it to the bigger tournies...!
This is for sure going down in history as the most unprepared and nervous guest on snb and thats only because locodoco isnt in this scene
Stopped listening at Shelfey for 500k
l miss norbertpass :_(
Nice to see Nart on a podcast, hope he does more
I don't know who he is but I don't think was a good format for him. He was just making an objective statement and then stopping. Not even giving his opinion. Thorin and Maui paused waiting for his opinion that never came...
@@illastration1 No charisma no nothing..... boring guest.
let us praise the g2 management for just farming topics for these shows.
to be fair kjaerby and cadian really try harded in the copenhagen show match against ecstatic. Like they really shit on them.
Nart❤
Just commented to state how disappointed I am with G2 picking up Snax
snax to g2 LMAO i need the new episode up
I watch because of Nart
JL_1_Major vs Th-0-majors-rin
That was painful
lol i never want to see this Nart guy on last free nation ever again. A hltv faceit level 7 probably knows more about cs, than him. Thorin if you're reading, the next time you think of getting Nart as a guest. you might as well pick any faceit 10 from hltv, or just pick me, im faceit 9 atm with only 175 matches (spend most of my time watching and following pro cs scene). I can do 8 times better than this guy. also have 13 years of cs experience (on and off cause irl commitments)
Snax pulling up to play with m0nesy after being a bum for 6 years
Guys pack it up. Half of the CS shows now have nothing to talk about after HooXi is kicked!
-snax will be the new thing don't worry
@@georgbergsten6050g2 gotta keep the content coming
W
27:22 What Nart said was simply complete bs... Not only do they have essentially the same stats, Hooxi literally has multiple moments (specially back in Kato and Cologne) where he won G2 important rounds, heck he even carried them against Navi on Anubis this last major where Hunter and Niko decided to take a nap. No offense to Nat, but his statement was basically a copy paste of reddit comments made by people who never actually watch the games
Man I love thoorin, but honestly, stop bashing JL. JL is just a wholesome guy vibing in cs community.
.
Ye ye hooxi finally benched and they got snax.... just bring back hooxi PL is just permanent loss
Hooxi is not a tactician, he simply knew top tier team weaknesses and exploited them. These were things that always existed and no one noticed.
Today, 50% of these tactics do not work anymore and the other 50% are so simple that even faceit pugs use them.
typical low confidence hapa, using "like" every 3 words. exhausting to listen to
Thorin needs learn how to let other people talk
He was trying to get the guest to talk but the guy had nothing to say...
He did much better than the last episode with Spunj
