Could m0NESY be better than s1mple?!
Feel like you gotta bet against it he might be as skilled but s1mple is such a complete player.
In years time, it’s possible. But S1mple will continue to get better himself, so who knows.
No
Hell no
Give it a few years if simple falls off and he gets more experience, maybe
We are so lucky to have these 3 people in the scene.
And we are so fucking lucky to have Richard Lewis, whether he's fucking around in football manager or breaking down major conflicts.
We love you old man
Agreed! Amazing people and great content!
I second this statement.
Wherever he goes, he can't escape the CORRUPTION!
Broky convinced me he’s a world class player this tournament. The Latvian Lazer indeed.
Broky stole the show and had ropz jks and twistz on his team. Hes a talent for sure.
He leveled up so much over the last two years. A true top 10 player and top 5 awper now.
@@HaasTheFirst statistically he is prob the best awper rn, sh1ro did well but not as good at kato and i value kato way more than a funspark
s1mple hasnt peformed up to his insane standards and even has worse stats than broky at katowice
zywoo just had his worse map at kato so ye
jame just baits and has worse stats on top of that
but keep in mind this is like 2 tournemnets in to 2022 so we will have to see if broky can stay consistent
I think Twistzz is a major unsung hero for this Kato run. The man switched up a lot of his roles for the benefit of the team and Jks. He played incredibly well, especially against G2.
at the same time
he did all those roles in liquid so.....
like faze is such a versatile team i love it
like with jks anyone can play any role
He also performed better then anyone on faze in the finals its nice to see him showing up on the biggest stages since he wasnt able to in his early career
@@t.w.videos1739 well the whole point was that he WAS only one showing up in the finals in liquid then when they became a superteam, he took all the dog roles and couldn't recover.
@@t.w.videos1739 and hopefully he is still early in his career
@@ImaTip he played roles that he made him leave liquid
I was really impressed with the crowd at this event. They cheered everyone (take note Danish fans) and more importantly didnt start making loads of noise when someone's crosshair was on an enemy's head through a smoke etc.
Really respectful during the rounds, explosively loud reactions to great plays, the model of what a CS crowd should be.
If only they would silence the wooooow guys
@@ieradossantos IEM Sydney eat your heart out
Hope to see Semmler back at events soon!
Whilst m0NESY was already incredibly hyped up before playing for G2, he still managed to blow my mind by how insane he truly was. His reaction times are out of this world. He is certainly a future number 1 player. At this rate alone he can already be Top 20.
I 1000% agree with Richard's take on the US Air Force sponsoring ESL. In my opinion the whole sponsorship should have never happened.
So fucking crazy. At its worst when they did that "So G2 taking a TACTICAL TIMEOUT BY THE US AIR FORCE" like what the fuck, these guys have literally bombed hundreds of thousands of civilians the last 20 years, let alone the last 50. So disgusting and so happy to hear them bring it up. The new Saudi owners of ESL too. Let's not participate in sportswashing these brutal imperialistic forces
@@STOREpappa Yeah i think when you actually look at it, and it might be the one positive to come from this situation, you have to look at the air force sponsorship, the saudi ownership, the chinese team owners....theres a lot of beneficial changes we could make in ESports that conventional sports never did.
Itd be nice to see Esports take the lead on asking modern sports to show a bit more consistent morality.
they also have their hands deep in R6Siege too. Just how it is these days i guess.
@@SaintedPIacebo i think all four groups in question have their hands in most of ESports, except starcraft because no one cares about that anymore (as a fan of starcraft, i mean that). I thought R6 had a big Marines or Navy sponsorship, i could be wrong.
@@2639theboss they have multiple branches involved, they have show matches a tournaments with the different branches on stage, had a friend compete in them for the airforce team a few times.
Thank you for PopFlash. I really enjoy this dynamic, What a trio. Cheers Dexerto.
Can definitely feel how much Richard is influenced by the current global conflict. Semmler's bit of confrontation and challenge at the end of the show regarding politicizing the podcast, and Rich's bit of respectful regression was apparent.
Just want to say appreciate everyone's work with these podcasts. All of the viewpoints offer something valuable and unique in their own way. While things are quite "heavy" in the real world and may not need to be interlaced with our little pocket of escape with CS, I think it is important at some scale to keep global circumstances contextually transparent. They both have an affect on the short term game, as well as longer term implications. Keep up the good work.
Ok but why is no one talking about huNter dropping 57 FRAGS on that mirage game in the finals. Like literally no one has mentioned it once.
To me the most realistic option for JKS right now would be Mouseports, and tbh, to rebuild his career and show if he really "has it"... it wouldn't be bad at all as a project.
I'd hold out for a better team. Last thing he needs is to get locked into a dead org for 3 years.
I don’t agree with Richard keep pushing the idea the playoffs should of been put off to a later date, the peak numbers wasn’t a coincidence, people look for things to escape and distract them selfs from the real world and csgo is one of those things, canceling those games would of just made people more miserable
And now the question is until what later date seeing as the fighting is looking like it will drag on for a significant amount of time. Very tough spot for players and TOs to be in when trying to thread the needle of covid, war breaking out, and whatever other unholy trinity of suck is waiting in the wings to elbow the world from the top rope lmao.
Yes cause if the Russian and Ukrainian players did go back then 3/6 teams in the playoffs wouldn't even be present if ESL postponed the playoffs
Love jks but agreed Broky deserves Mvp carried faze threw some halves im proud of this team and happy that karrigan finally got this trophy ;d
JKS did not even play all of the games. Cant be MVP then. Also Ropz played way better and had more important clutches that did huge impact on the game. Okey jks closed down Mirrage but Faze had 2 more rounds to win it. Inferno if not of Ropz clutch in last round they would have lost it. I will say that clutch Ropz did goes in the history books concider the impact it did and it was in a final.
100 percent mate that 1v4 for ropz from 15-7 down to 15-14 and how perfect he played that round gotta go down in the history books
Richard with the BASED Deftones shirt
Isnt it just fucking ironic and sad that right then when NAVI would be having their own LEGIT era is csgo, the fucking war comes and puts all that in the trash. Its actually pretty unbelievable. Jesus fucking christ, I really hope they can survive the situation and come back stronger.
Convenient excuse , get outclassed by a better team, blame something else , c0pe m0re
@@Cxs1a3 bad take
@@TROMBELE$400k isn't enough motivation? When your countries' economy is in toilet? c0pe m0re
1:04:10 Highlight of this episode, stellar take by Rich.
Good talk interesting as usual!
Man what hot take from Thorin did we miss at 53:10?
Somebody should ask Richard when American orgs and players get banned from blast and esl over what's happening in somalia and Yemen?
Very impressed with Faze and very impressed how this podcast is a fucking banger everytime, thanks guys!
I dont think jks would fair well in eg, stew wouldnt know how to handle him like karrigan, arguably there is only one other igl that can, but stew is really on the tail end of igls that could use jks' potential.
karrigan the botman (csgo’s batman) one of the greatest igl. its sad people only see kda and ratings
Even though Broky joined Faze as a rifling IGL he was an excellent Awper on Epsilon. Just a reminder cause many people seem to think he was only a rifler. He has grown extremely much since that first year in Faze tho and I knew since the first day he was special even though Faze last 3 years was pure pain.
The conflict didnt start a few days before the show, it starten in march 2014.
Semmler without beard looking clean. 👍🏻
Richard killed it!
Is this a reupload? I swear I heard Thorin talking about ”Karrigan entryin and talkin and all that and the point where he talks about m0NEsy and say that if you cover the names you’d think it’s s1mple playin” before…
Do you watch Snake and Banter?
@@rylanacker he's mixing them up, 100%. I watched both today and did the same lmao
he will be for sure if not better than s1mple, like his playing style. lets see what happens to s1mple tho, with the conflict in eastern EU he is talking about retiring but hope thats not the case
The kids got 15k hours already. It certainly seems like if any current player can challenge simple down the road as best player ever it may be monesy.
Will Monesy be the next Swag in terms of isolation from CS GO?
so Complexity could finally buy out a good team? (Gambit/VP)
I will accept that he is the GOAT, if he keeps up and wins the most MVPs till the age of 22.
If heroic doesnt win something on LAN for the next 6 months, I feel like they should replace cadiaN with snappi or MSL.
worked out on Ence when they removed alexisb this sounds like a good idea 💡
Hahahaahaahahahah. If your igl cant win tournaments and is a bad awper replace him with one who cant qualify for tournaments and is a far worse awper
Cadian has made this team of only one player that's in the top 20 and barely makes it into a top 5 team last year. Replacing him would be a mistake. He needs to step up for sure but replace teses. He doesn't stand out in the team as much as others
Why is msl even mentioned in tier 1 comparisons is a mystery to me
@@vinaychawla5162 because he's done more with dogshit players than your favorite IGL did with some of the greatest of all time
I would say JKS to mous be interesting I don't know if I'm missing something however would make sense to me.
You're right, you're missing something. Its called dexter exist as a mouz IGL. JKS deserve a better team.
@@zicodennisvalentino748 bud I'm sure you can put JKS in mous let him prove himself. As I know he deserves better but that's what's available. If not he's going to make himself into the new Copenhagen flames. Also funny how you follow this podcast yet thorin has said the same as me in snake and banter his other podcast
Karrigan is the goat igl by far. In a totally different league to glaive
I disagree, but he did something amazing in his own way, that makes him my goat the objectively glave is that guy man
@@oscarcarlsson1465 look at glaive with no Zonic and a new team. Doesn't look like much of a goat
@@yado7550 fair enough actually, I didn't know he was doing it on his own now. Puts things into perspective, although for me personally Karrigan is still my goat anyways
Karrigan with the core of Dev1ce, Xyp and dupreeh - 0 Majors
Gla1ve with the same core -4Majors
@@baxigamer4206 Magisk goat?
Cerq or Brehze could easily be replaced by JKS. They've not performed in years.
If only eg snagged jks and poizon earlier.
m0nesy will be the future GOAT if all goes well!
Nah bro , he's cancelled because of his nationality
It's not gonna be Niko and hunter anymore, it's either going to be Niko and Monesy or Niko Monsey and hunter
why? they replaced shit awper with promising awp
Dude, isn't that what I said?.... It was a compliment.
Heroic could try stavn on awp
Funny thing is that NAVI almost won G2, Faze vs NAVI final would have been epic but maybe not under these circumstances.
s1mple is csgo mj and m0nesy is kobe. the second coming of the goat.
Lebron is better than Kobe…
@@papitoal3x lol clearly haven't seen mj and kobe play to get the reference
@@papitoal3x point is, kobe from far away looks and play like MJ he is even the same exact height as MJ. so in a sense yes s1mple and m0nesy is like MJ and kobe
s0mple is coward for abandoning his comrades in war for a video game, while his brothers dying
@@Cxs1a3 the fuck are you on about?! lmao
Richard just loves to rail on jks LOL. It's so unreasonable haha
2nd best player in the final game richard! He's always got to hate on jks because him being a good player makes Richards homosexual man crush blameF look bad.
jks > baitf
monesy is still not on a s1mple's level
Though his awp flicks are flawless, he still has to build his gamesense
Like Thorin said it's true if Niko showed up in the Grand Final of IEM Katowice 2022 they will be champions and they missed the impact XTQQZZZ for sure.
But it is not the end of them. They will win some majors for surr. I dont think faze will win again specially when g2 reach it potential and also Navi will be 100% percent again
"Some majors" - Of course not. 1 maybe, but Aleksib won't do it again.
And Faze didn't even performed at it's best. Karrigan couldn't use the entire strat-book with JKS, for obvious reasons.
@@PWRMindset faze didnt even beat Navi. Obviously you are a delusional fan of faze that could not see the whole picture. Faze just got lucky specially on that inferno match.
Like I have said if Niko showed up G2 will win IEM Katowice 2022 not faze.
I would.rather have glaive in my team as an IGL than karrigan. They got lucky with the match up. If g2 and faze will meet again in esl pro league it will be a dofferent result. Ofcpurse their is Navi again a team to beat.
@@PWRMindset Yeah sure Alexsib had some bad calls it is normal if I have something to blame with it is Niko. As good as he's in group stage he did not show up in the playoffs. After liquid series he is nowhere to be found. But like I have said they will win 1 or 2 majors. 3? I don't so even if i'm a g2 fan. If only glaive is there IGL theye have a good chance to win 3 majors.
@@altanakcicek4447 g2 beat beat navi distracted lol just accept that faze clan played better it was a 3-0 too convinced which team was better and faze clan didnt have rain so no excuses for g2 faze clan wasnt unlucky was better and niko always dissapear in imporant moments.
@@TopOnTops it was a blessing disguise jks play better than rain. If rain play in the finals faze wont win
great pastime this is
WATCH THIS
richard is so paranoid its sad. good thing semmler put him in his place bad thing it was so late to the episode

scrawny is so cringe man
@@user-ig1ew2kb8t Yeah, don't like Machine too much either.
Spunj is my favorite.
But he's cancelled permanently
@@Cxs1a3 who is?
scrawny is great lol tf u on about
Just on the jks thing....the greatest igl in counter strike, glaive, looks like he is an incompetent bot with blamef on his team. Not sure what an Oceanic rifler could do with such a dogshit igl in complexity.
Karrigan is the real deal, and jks played as near his potential because of it.
Thankfully there isn't an Israeli org in CSGO
s1mple is gonna noscope putin guys dw the war will be over soon
Nah bro he's just a keyboard warrior
@@Cxs1a3 lol, he literally is. He plays as a sort of warrior (ct, terrorist) with the help of his keyboard :)
Yeah, that's clearly what I meant
FaZe is so much more likeable than g2 i was so happy g2 got 3-0d
Legit question, why you feel that way?
@@darm9020 Because they wanted monesy and niko to fail. As they said "The one thing they love more than a hero is to see a hero fail."

M0nesy?
