I'm glad Thorin and the rest of the CS podcasters are getting us through the player break- shoutout TechGirl, Talking Counter, even RL making a comeback!
Ah yes, the age old description of being thankful or complimenting someone on the work they're doing... glazing. Grow up, you're not some 12 y/o red piller. It's fine when they act like this.
Top 3 podcasts in esports rn; Snake and Banter, Feed the Trolls and Hot Take Point Made - Thorin literally cannot stop with that straight fire boombap hiphop shit
57:00 I love how Thorin just talks about Fnatic as the tier 1 gulag for people he likes, just send everyone from tier 1 who is in a rough spot there so they can make a nice team with blameF.
On EliGE's buyout was likely low because Liquid looks after their players, they even allowed Shox to go for free because they didn't want to put him in contract jail.
In 1.6 people used to bind crouch to the scroll wheel and then peek every angle spamming the wheel, which would famously desync your hitbox from your character model. On top of that the character model would come out of the angle like "bouncing". It was really annoying to play agianst and was generally viewed as a BM thing to do. We called them "scrollers".
So we agree then that it’s a cope to say he’s “doing it on purpose” because by his own admission it’s “easier that way”. Which means if he was able to he would try to HS more, but he knows he’s not so has compromised.
@@LeominsterFC It is a deliberate decision, at least according to Zont1x, you may agree with it or not agree. I for one can definitely see both advantages and disadvantages to this approach. For him and Spirit though it seems to be working out well enough. The purpose of my initial comment was to correct Thorin who appears to think that it was Reddit or/and some fans that came up with this theory just out of nowhere.
@@allmite I’m not even criticizing him for it, like you said it works for him. But logically shooting HS is more efficient so if he thought he was able to hit them more consistently he would try. It does sound like some hltv cope even if he did say it himself lol.
@@LeominsterFC It is more efficient if you are guaranteed to hit it, which you are not. For the same reason everyone is not just going for 3-pointers in basketball all the time.
I feel like the donk slide/crouch spam evolved because it´s somehow super easy for less skilled players to hit headshots compared to csgo. When you spam crouch, your head goes up and down and get´s harder to hit. Same goes for the wide fast swings everyone is doing rn. It´s more like a counterplay than an actively picked playstyle.
1:20:33 This part where they talk about donk movement, this is so true there is way more crouching and strafing which kinda feels more like valorant where you are more focused on not getting hit than trying to aim which does make it ugly to duel people.
My complete speculation on why zews was kicked was because he tried too hard to get the other guys to buy into cadiaN’s system when they disagreed. If Twistzz and Yekindar came to him and said like “we don’t like this, we’d rather play like this” and zews tells them to listen to the IGL, then yeah you’re going with him bud
About 1:17:30 : For me, it's the other way around actually. I feel like I barely tab out anymore because I flicked so hard that my mouse cursor would just go on the 2nd monitor. Back in CS:GO, that would almost happen every match at least once.
1:00:00 i think is both, he knows he isnt good enough to hit headshots all the time so he just does the safe play. He even said that in one of the spirit vlogs. He just goes for it because that's good for him.
No one is not good enough to hit headshots all the time. Him choosing to aim lower doesnt necessary mean he is bad aimer. It actually can be a superior mechanic for a lot of players.
Great vid, again, thx. Concerning Cadian, Zonic should invite him to Falcons, just for training, and pubicly declare that Falcons are glad to have Cadian to inspire them. Comparing to football again, star players just lift teams up with their pressence and skills, and lots happen at training. So, go train at Falcons, get some sun and some good vibes :) In a perfect world, right.
Cs2 just does wierd things with dual monitor in general. I can't stream if I have a second monitor plugged in, or it my framerate (usually well over 500fps) drops to 60 or so over and over.
I dont think if you have 70% hs rate its acutally the most efficient way to play. If you are hsing every every pistol or rifle player its great but for some of those duels bodyshots might be the higher % play. I try to go for body shots and sometimes thats my demise, but some duels are also free because of that and doing some damage gives the team a higher % round win. Hitting the perfect balance is difficult and imo zontix does it.
I don't understand how there are so few premier maps in this game (as well as GO). There's so much potential for interesting strategy with new maps but Valve almost never creates any new ones. Ofc making the game stable rn is prio 1 but there's no excuse for the map scarcity in CS GO
maui comparing Dota to CS when they talk about quality of polish, it's crazy. This game has so many bugs, there's a website dedicated to them from Valve. Some can win you games. I remember we had threads "everything wrong with a hero" with 5-6 pages. I almost fell asleep reading about Brewmaster. Of course maui is speaking about content, but brings it up during discussion about quality.
Agree with mantuu, the game is unplayable. Rubberbanding, stutters. Molotovs dropping fps by 90%. Bullets going nowhere. Run and gun. Bullet magnetism is now a thing. Desync. Garbage death match servers. Clipping. Boosting. Random release of nades. hit boxes. Michael jackson back. This is just a few things I see DAILY. EVERY SINGLE DAY. IN FACE IT.
It’d be awful to Elige if after 8 years on the team, liquid throw him on the bench with an insane buyout that teams may or may not be willing to pay considering his form at the time. I feel like the low buyout was a show of thanks from liquid.
@@thereportoftheweek787 I agree rewarding him for the good years is fine, but hes a top 10 player in the world going for less than 100k. You couldve bought like 10 eliges for one fallen.
@@vedser the claim they are making is that he would shoot them in the head if he could you are getting caught up in the ‘on purpose’ part. He is shooting the body on purpose not because he wants to but because he has no choice. He would prefer to kill them faster. If I talk to a less attractive girl it’s because I didn’t think I have a chance with the other one probably not just ‘by choice’
@@Deanbedford1 no they literally said that he is doing this not on purpose which is false. They think that he is trying to hit the head and cant do it but in reality he is not trying, he is aiming to the legs intentionally. Its you who got confused. Zontixs signature mechanics is using a1s, aiming to the legs and shooting while running. Thorin is clueless because he is not paying enough attention to the scene, you need to watch vlogs and listen to the players especially in the new game
What's the fuss around Cadian ? I don't get it . His system worked only with Heroic , although they played coherent CS their success was mild since they only won a couple of blasts and some online tournaments , he was nothing before that and he showed he is nothing after that , same things goes for Snappi.
I feel like they really want to turn b1t into a legacy player, if he can get past this 2 year running sophomore slump he could stay in the team for a long time
I think people forget Valve has like 400 employees that intentionally is kept small. It's like getting 1 guy over (that's intentionally a 1 man business) to paint your house and then you start throwing money at them and complaining why it's not done faster.
59:50 He deliberately aims from the neck down (unlike what Thorin thinks "a mor0n" who mistakenly believes their crosshair is at head level and then adjusts it before shooting). His crosshair placement is intentionally lower than most riflers. Over time, he has gradually changed his gameplay and weapon of choice. He has become more passive, aims lower, and prefers the M4 silencer. This is reflected in his stats. This stupid point could've easily been avoided if he just looked up few demos and looked at the stats. Also the Astralis Kreig/Aug meta body shooting is different since with a scope from range body shooting with a weapon that has a faster fire rate is faster than actually missing a couple of bullets then hitting the headshot .
where did this rumor start about wonderful copying simple's sensitivity? i first heard it from bubzski and now maui. pro settings and his twitch say he has sens of 2 also glad to see the smooth talker get called out. Rod Ferguson, lead of Diablo4, is another one of those types. don't know much about zews but i got the same vibe from him during the twistzz zews hltv confirmed segment
Thank you for having me!

Yeah possibly since he was going to another NA org too.

Great episode. The talk about Valve was great - CS2 feels terrible

I must have missed the smooya utensils lore until this point, first time hearing that and I choked hard on my drink
Really liked mantuu as a guest
Mantuu tier 2 scene so good you still repping the BIG clan gaming chair.
Let's get it on.
1.6 crouch-tap around corner was Tier1 CS ftw
nothing better than waking up to a new snake and banter
One of the better ones. Goated guest.
he's not scared to make bold points which is nice, some guests are shit scared to say anything remotely controversial
@@chibifirestorm that's how I felt about NartOutHere
56:40 thorin slips from host to natural self and enjoys it 😂
T2 cs is good now is the funniest joke i have ever heard.
910 is my goat so please get him on
He doesn’t even know 910 English words 😂
yeah i don’t know if any of the mongolz know english, even blitz doesn’t interview much
Bring one of the other players as a translator. It will be a two for one.
juicy shows boys juicy shows
The clicking on the second monitor thing isn’t even just when you’re flicking, it happens to me when I’m standing still holding an angle
So funny how mantuu has to just sit through them just glazing the into the am shirts
They’re promoting a sponsor, how the fuck is that glazing 😭
I’m not good at CS, but I prac’d Donk Sliding for an hour I can guarantee at like 8k or less, it fucking shreds.
Player breaks are awesome for cs2 content
Cs2 just does wierd things with dual monitor in general. I can't stream if I have a second monitor plugged in, or it my framerate (usually well over 500fps) drops to 60 or so over and over.
We need Thorin vs Rischard Lewis on How Valve handles CS2 🤣
I dont think if you have 70% hs rate its acutally the most efficient way to play. If you are hsing every every pistol or rifle player its great but for some of those duels bodyshots might be the higher % play.

Hitting the perfect balance is difficult and imo zontix does it.
even norbert igl would be better than electronic igl
Sponsors let's go boys gg
Big issue with Valves handling of CS is that they do not invest a cent back into the game they're making stacks of cash on
Wag1 geezas London massiv stannup
I don't understand how there are so few premier maps in this game (as well as GO). There's so much potential for interesting strategy with new maps but Valve almost never creates any new ones. Ofc making the game stable rn is prio 1 but there's no excuse for the map scarcity in CS GO
Because Players dont like new maps. And its actually pretty hard to create a good map
Ya know what I want to see with liquid? Steel
Thorin was cooking 😂😂😂

Electronic IGL, jame bench, bring Monesy, win everything?

1:20:10 and then there's Team Fortress 2 just wanting a field not infested with locusts
If cs2 is getting scraps for dinner tf2 is the child locked in the basement eating rats to survive

thorin and maui bought a sweatshop
5 figures for ELIGE?? wtf Some major deals on the market if you let contracts run out/get close to running out.

Jame is pretty selfless, he thinks long term. In his mind he will coach with a monesy awper in a year or two. And VP is willing to spent money.
niko definitely got hard nerfed from csgo to cs2, rifling just doesnt feel as clean as csgo at all
chet to liquid or nrg would be lit
I feel like they really want to turn b1t into a legacy player, if he can get past this 2 year running sophomore slump he could stay in the team for a long time
Nerf. Moving accuracy. Please.
how did mantuu fix his wrist issues? he didn't say it!
Probably surgery?
There is an interview with Thorin on UA-cam, which dives deeper into the issue
I think people forget Valve has like 400 employees that intentionally is kept small.
It's like getting 1 guy over (that's intentionally a 1 man business) to paint your house and then you start throwing money at them and complaining why it's not done faster.
We dont forget and this is the exact problem with valve
All of the NA money is in Valorant :/
Just going to say that the into the AM T shirts are so damn soft... would recommend
I welcome Chet to Liquid;. Save this shitshow Mr Chet
Wtf fans come up with, aiming for the head is almost better u could dink+spray or with u got a ak kill1+spray
