    Since Fall Finals is over by the time this video came out, I want to point something about the IGLs letter and them saying on Twitter "I might be unfit for Blast Media Tomorrow".
    Since IGLs didn't show up for Blast Media (except Chopper from Team Spirit although he also signed the letter), Blast had to use other means to put the IGLs pictures on the stream UI. One of such methods was used on Karrigan himself where they used an old photo of him for the UI, you can see this because if you look at the jersey on his shoulder, his Red is darker then the rest of the team jerseys which are Bright Red.
    But the funniest one of all of that is Apex, because since he also didn't show Blast decided to take FlameZ's body and then photoshop Apex head on it and then use it for the stream UI

      From what i remember, it was the team owners/managers that pushed for the replay, Device just said that he had 40% loss and overall complained about the quality of the tournament.
      To this day there's a meme in polish CS that whenever he loses a duel, he had 40% loss lmao.

    The mishandling of rookie talent being wasted in CS is identical to the phenomenon going on in US Football right now with rookie Quarterbacks. They throw these young stars into the bright lights right out of college and bench them when they start slow. Fast forward a few years these QBs are slinging it (Look at the vikings) But sadly alot of these QBs who get benched who have potential end up never getting a shot because theyre shadowed by their horrible start of their careers.

      I don't follow NFL but that sounds bonkers.
      In Proper Football played in Europe, youngsters are often bedded in or sent on loan. Even Messi wasn't first choice when he started getting top flight appearances for Barcelona (although it didn't take him long to cement his place).

      Sounds a bit like redbull a few years ago in F1: throw a rookie in the main team, get rid of them if they don't perform immediately.

    Have you seen tddy atlas's interview with lex friedman? amazing stuff, hard to imagine that Cus did that to teddy at the end, but i understand why. I'm some what of nerd regarding Cus and his career, they really don't make them like that anymore, such a fascinating outlook he had on life, will be interested to see what you have to say.
    Personally i believe Tyson would have continued to dominate the heavyweight scene deep into the 90s if Cus didn't die, probably never would have went to prison either, Cus literally put everything in place that Tyson needed for success, from financial advisors to life advisors, trainers and coaches, EVERYTHING and he managed to mess it up.
    If Cus represented the moral good side of boxing with his ideas of character and moral fiber, then surely Don king is the metaphorical devil, i wonder in regards to CS/Esports who you believe is Don king is?

    The best bit about them cheating Valve rankings, was that they went 0-2 anyway, and still qualified for World Finals at the same time.
    So they cheated for literally nothing.

    The problem is that people in esports ownership havent done any sort of improvement in terms of leadership, these people should be attending seminars, learning about how it works in actual sports etc, how does scouting works (like you said) and so on. But they dont and keep running in circles around themselves while losing money all the time. Esports is cooked.

    Yo Richard, is it something that Valve could get involved with ? Considering the valve ranking points and the major on the line ? If I remember correctly Valve is super "integrity matters" and "equal playing field". Does Valve have any power here and just let astralis know "I see you 👀" ?

    This team success is built off the hardwork of the ex TSM players, just like fnatic era their success had nothing to do with the org itself, it is clear the moves they have made since their era that they have no idea what makes a good team, no idea how the develop their talent.... They just change players around (on the cheap) and just hope it sticks.
    On top of that they are used to that successful era and want it again because they underpaid their players.
    This org has on fucking idea.

      Of course br0 had mid stats, you’re not gonna top frag as an anchor. At least, Bubzkji had a farewell message. But it doesn’t matter, both of them had their days numbered unless the team did really well, they were always gonna be the ones getting kicked. I believe that’s the point Richard is trying to make.
