Degster putting in 180 hours within 2 weeks to fulfill his dream of playing on stage, meanwhile Stewie puts 100 hours into Valorant and claims to do anything to win in CS. Madness.
Hahahah
The Starbucks part really boggles my mind. Getting a coffee is literally the lowest barrier to getting to know eachother you can get.
I know its petty, but honestly if it weren't for groupies you would think this guy's probably never been laid given he doesn't even know about getting to know people over coffee
so fucking rude of him, clearly malek was just trying to show interest in him in order to improve their working relationship. bot2k with a 3 year old child brain here
So true. I am very socially insecure, yet asking someone out for a coffee is something even I can do - and that is a total stranger I am attracted to, not what is essentially a co-worker like in this case.
@@radicoolcalifornian2551 lol owned
Not right after an argument. If you want to talk about someone else's life right after an argument, even a monkey can tell that you've got a problem. Just apologize and move on, eventually they'll forget about it. And if they still hold a grudge, thats their problem.
He could ask simple how much of a yes man blade is
wait whats the lore behind your comment? 🤔
@@DJ-ov2it sarcasm?
spot on
@@kronniichiwa9909 nope
@@DJ-ov2it he means that if blade was a yes man the stockholm major would've been g2's and there would br no grand slam for navi
Refusing to accept your coach’s friend request is like refusing to give your work phone number to your boss
bruh do you know how many friend request stewie probably gets everyday? You think he checks his request daily? I don't think stew is in the right in this situation but holy yall sound so petty its unbelievable.
@@zSTEEZzYimagine being this stupid
@@zSTEEZzY you know whats petty? not accepting your coach's friend request on steam.
@@smogma hahaha n1
How does Stewie think this response doesn't make him sound petty as fuck? This is embarrasing, the steam friend request part was an absolute joke
Stew was trying to say he just totally missed the friend request. Whether you believe him or not is up to you.
@@trollface9903 I'm well aware of what he said
Because Stewie doesn't like dealing with fake people. You can't force someone to bond with you, sometimes they just don't like you due to a different mindset, ect. It takes time to form a relationship. Btw man you will never be as successful as Stewie stfu.
@@trollface9903 Once someone lies once or twice, I’d be inclined not to believe them the third time.
@@nixus1909 what I'm saying is if you take everything stew says at face value, he's not without fault but he's nowhere near as bad as evy makes him out to be. Stuff like the Starbucks incident isn't really justifiable but I could see how he missed a friend request considering he probably gets spammed with friend requests by randoms. Stew himself is aware that it sounds like he's still in high school and that's his critique of that particular story.
40:54 "Once we realised that we couldn't make it out of the groups, thats where, for me, the tournament life ended" The guy who says he wants to win at all cost did not even try to win against AGO just for the sake of winning a match.
Edit - never mind Richard mentioned that already
Why would he? It's a waste of energy. His aspirations for that tournament just evaporated. That game means nothing. Only a fool who has never competed in a tournament would find issue with it. You're not going to pull out all the stops in a match that doesn't matter.
@@haltern631 I am sorry but you’re so wrong, they’re competitors, that’s what they do. Losing is literally like calling their sainted mothers whores to them.
@@haltern631 Or maybe it was another chance to try some new starts, work on comms and find ways for the team to get going in the future? Instead, stew gave up and his comment about doing everything to win just goes out the window yet again.
@@haltern631 that's the mindset of someone who isn't a winner
@@haltern631 said the fool who has never competed in a tournament
I find it funny how Stewie kept referring to his assistant coach (who they worked with together for ~6 months) as "that guy".
That tells me "that guy" was not very involved which Is why stewie Is shocked this person of all people are saying all these things
@@aseed89 Or he's so butthurt over the situation that he doesn't want to acknowledge him with his name. I'd imagine that's more likely.
@@aseed89 stop simping for Stewie, he's not going to fuck you bro,
@@aseed89 Ah yes, the one party involved that seems like the villain referring to a specific person as that guy intentionally surely must mean he wasnt involved. Makes perfect sense.
@@aseed89 or hes just a spoiled kid.
I do wonder what would happen if Stewie had to take shit from Zonic. "I have won a major" "yeah well I have won 4, young padawan so sit the fuck down."
It's deffo an ego thing
Zonic would smack the sh.t out of him.
Hope that reality comes to be. I still really want stew to win but it's going to take something like that for it to happen.
thats exactly what stew needs , a zonic in his life
I'm glad this drama is blowing up because this behavior needs to stop at some point and stanning for stewie2k like the reddit plebs doesn't help the cause. And good for Evy for calling out the bullshit after unfairly losing his job.
This drama never should've happened in the first place. Just apologize and move on. Be mature about it.
especially because they stan the version of stewie he was when he first had his big break. Now he'll have the occasional 20+ kill map and pat himself on the back for "leading". Same shit in Liquid.
@@effenberg2532 in his defence. He was a pretty hard entry so not fragging like mad is fine.
@@norwa3518 Yeah, stewie should do that, not Evy/malek. He didn't , and thats where we at now. Everyone is literally trying to say to Stewie "be mature about it" if you didn't realised.
Yeah Stew has a massive fucking ego that has stifled his growth.
As Rich said previously, the second Stewie misbehaves in front of his coach the internet cable should be pulled out and the beef sorted.
I'll never understand why it seems like NA esports pros seem to have never played sports. I live Minnesota and had coaches in AAU basketball that screamed at us constantly. And in highschool football. Then I hear about these esports pros losing their minds over slight criticisms.
I guess my point is in sports, the US isn't this soft. So why are our esports pros such divas?
I played sports and competed at a high level in an esport in my teens those other kids at the highest level never played sports and just learned their craft in game which is why they’re so socially inept. obviously there’s outliers but for the most part how do you think these select people got so good so quickly lol
because gamers are anti social in high school and they didnt play sports lol.
In EU, gaming isn't seen as much of a nerdy thing so a lot of driven, disciplined people end up in esports. In the US, there are so many different sports to play and so many great minded athletes, that most of the people who end up playing competitive video games are degenerates who have sat inside playing said games their entire lives and never learned how to interact socially. The only team environment these players know is some self-owned mix of kids playing online matches. They've never had a coach or been taught how to practice.
i think an issue is age. We as americans are very new to the esports scene so we don't have any like older vets to coach. its mostly like current players who step down to coach and then you have an ego issue.
@@Quuantix this makes a lot of sense
Stewie really should reach out for an interview. He used to be the guy that confronted everything head-on.
I mean he already confronted it head on with his stream
Ironic since this whole problem is him being evasive and ignoring help
@@p0kel If you call that confronting your issues. Then I don't know what to tell you.
@@p0kel defending yourself in an echo chamber is not the best definition of head on
@@LPLimbos what you want him to do? Get in a call with the coach?
Feel bad for malek, just wanted to try make things work and stewie shits on him. Unbelievable
Unfortunately I feel Stewie is, at some level, a narcissist. It's definitely a spectrum in my experience and it makes it hard to understand whether or not he is acting like this with "full" intention. However not being able to commit to one side of an argument, therefore never being wrong in his perspective, is a dead give away for me. Not to mention comparing himself to s1mple, that gave me quite a chuckle. As an American, it's sad to see how so many of our players let themselves get in the way of what could be a promising future. Great content!
Nah that's just true to me. He is a narcissist to a noticable degree.
Just before leaving Liquid he lashed out at Grim and Fallen and over some pretty trival things. Stew literally said that Grim didn't work as "hard" as Stew did which is pretty bs and I'd imagine someone like 2017 Stewie wouldn't have gotten mad at that
Really does feel like his ego grew after Boston or at least during 2019 Liquid
@@UA-camHandlesSuck420 his ago was massive before the boston
you all agreeing with that seem to lack emotional intelligence and/or psychological knowledge. There are so many explanations to ones behaviour and reasons for it, that if you know many of them, you wouldnt label him that way so lightheartedly. The first statement i just guessed cause of the rest of your comment. Just go take a random narcissism online survey and maybe this will help you see how does narcissism look like. For me there is little corelation. I feel like also people read too much into how stewie handled it instead of trying to find out where the objective truth is and where the problems lied
@@ronaldihnio4ever I think being the bitch player in mibr subdued that side of stew for a few years, before it returned in full force after he started being the igl. Stew used to get angry at shroud and nothing in old C9, although rightfully so considering at the time, it was the C9 old guard who were phoning it in for an easy pay check and preventing stew from winning.
To throw in my two cents, I remember when he first got picked up by cloud9, he was in a deathmatch yelling about how hes like steph curry to all the people fucking with him. It seemed by narcissistic.
God, Richard's description of the Dota scenario is so spot on it's giving me PTSD
Honestly everytime I hear players having attitudes like this I would love to see them getting fired and have no other offers so they have to get a normal job and realise how much of a idiot they were
Imagine bro. Pitiful attitudes.
For real, and for a FRACTION of the pay. These guys have real chances of becoming millionaires if they can stick around for 3 or more years.
He’s already made his millions. I understand the sentiment though
The stream from Stewie shows how some narratives go out of hand in e-sports. According to the narratives, he is supposed to be the hypeman of the team. His confessions on the stream tells you he can be just as emo as everyone else
Liquid's probably worn down on him. Stew didn't used to get this emo.
@@trollface9903 It's understandable, i dont think he was malicious in thinking he was a good IGL, but when that reality got challenged (losing a shitload does that to you) it must have been hard to take.
Wild, it doesn’t seem like Stew had a single point that made it look like there was any reason for tension. At every moment he decided to cause friction first game, Starbucks, vod review, on steam, and even after he’s left he’s doing an interview like this. WILD to see one of my favorite C9 players become so jaded towards the end of his career.
He has a rough relationship with his parents if you remember
This is pathetic lol. Malek resurrected kennyS for 2019 and did a decent job with NiKo. He deserves respect.
Stew's liquid destroyed that G2 with kennys so I guess he just assumed malek was overrated lol.
My god, I knew that CS pros were being pushed out of top tier Valorant but I didn’t realise that Stewie’s stats were that bad. I just assumed that because Stewie isn’t an entirely washed CS pro like some of the others, he would just be able to hang at the top but there is no way he’s getting on a top Valorant team. Hope EG realises this and kicks his arse into gear for his own sake.
He hasnt focused on fragging in well over a year now. Dudes stuck in his head.
I’m sure he could if he wanted to considering the top tier valorant teams are just players that were on tier 2 cs teams
@@FullOfPixels wouldnt you think he would be winning against tier2 teams in cs now then? Because he isnt
Honestly, might be a good thing at this point if Stewie got kicked from CS and can't make it in Valorant - it might help NA from breaking out of the "I want to win on my own terms" mindset and into the "I want to win" mindset. If he becomes a Cautionary Tale, instead of an Idol of Worship, maybe thing's will change.
It'd suck for him of course, but he's already made his bed, it might be time to lie in it.
I may not constantly watch CS or the new around it but when I do I always know to come Richard Lewis, purely because of content like this.
This video aged like fine wine. Honestly seeing his streams,his reactions and what he has been saying. It feels like he either needs a mental break or he has had no interest in actually being pro in CS the past 6 months. Reminds me of Ethan going to 100T. You saw the drop off in the stats. Putting more hours into another game than the game you get paid to play and achieve results in.
His stream is becoming like Tarik’s. Can hardly watch him anymore because of how annoying the Valorant chat is.
You're a great and stand up guy Richard. Thank you for your journalistic dedication and the amazing amount of content you produce.
This is the Amber Heard-Johnny Depp trial of eSports...
lol
NO
18:20 this whole discussion applies really well to the sport of cycling. Cyclists who have no chance of winning the majority of the time, often referred to as "domestiques" will do jobs like carrying water bottles and gels to their leaders, as well as riding at the front of the group and sacrificing themselves so a team mate can win. There are plenty of these so called domestiques who will hardly win individually at the professional level, but with their team they might secure hundreds of victories because they did the team role that nobody else wanted.
and even the best cyclists will occasionally sacrifice for their team too, to pay them back for all the work most people never see
What I like the most about this two part series from Rich is that it reminds me of the old Thorin's Thoughts videos. It's great stuff.
Has Thorin reacted to this?
Gawd damn, you said every single word and more that went through my head while I read that transcript.
Great report Lewis! I was not aware of all this stuff happening.
I appreciate you, Richard. Always count on you to keep it real with people.
Former assistant coach or as they like to call them in EG Former "Assistant to the regional manager" coach EVY
teams should be more coach-centric
look at zonic, blad3, malek, etc
if the org gives them the tools, they can build a team and make it work well. if they're thrown into a dysfunctional team, you get current liquid, eg, etc
I feel it is important to note that 99% of professionals let alone Tier 1 professionals have their steam notifications on DND 24/7 for various reasons (in matches and prac a lot of their time). Also these pros receive thousands of friend requests every day, I am positive he had zero idea MaleK added him. However, you'd think a professional team would immediately make sure they are all friends on Steam from day 1.
Yeah that deffo seems more like an organizational issue, it kinda shows how there was no structured approach to how to develop this team into a competing force. Or he could be lying up his ass and they did tell him.
You are the GOAT of esports man.
Impeccable humour, no poosyfooting and cold hard facts.
“Except junior” I spit water out of nose
Its so amazing because the "main" roster is ranked 92 while the ex PA were 48th and CD where 57, they were OUTPERFORMING THEM in terms of placings and results before they were bought out.
The most shocking part after all this in these last few days is that he's still even on the team..
From his pov, he said in day 1, playing normally, he was already being called out for bad manner or disrespectful. But it’s hard to say, Stewie is not an easy player to play with. Because if he was, he would’ve stop IGLing
I love the point you make about him saying "I'll do anything to win," except shutting up and listening to the coach. haha
It wouldn't make much sense to say "I'll do anything to win... except listen to the coach and actually put in the hard work for the game."
This is a huge issue with many star players that experience success early on in their career before developing the discipline and work ethic to do the grunt work.
25:33
The Starbuck Incident
Why did the last stream vod get removed?
its actually crazy that people get paid 20k a month to live in a house together and they combust because no one can wash the dishes or wipe their ass
Richard, I might not always agree with you man but if you ever retire I'll truly miss your content. I was thinking earlier of what other esports journalist is willing to take risks? Every article seems so safe without any actual investigative aspect. For that, I am truly grateful for your content. Cheers.
Stewie is not ready to 'move at that speed', you need to buy the guy some flowers and compliment his little ego first, maybe take him out to a movie. Malek clearly needs to work on his pick up skill.
Richard explains it well - Coaches aren't meant to be hype men and just yes-man. They do their job BEFORE the live event. Regardless if people want to dog on adreN for being an analytical coach and not a hype man I would like to see Richard interview adreN and get his take on his two stints with coaching Stewie. There was a bunch of behind the scenes diva drama that he tried to resolve, and sometimes him and Joka just had to take it on the chin from certain players.
For reasons unbeknown to me I watched Freakazoids reaction to this stream and fuck me EG need to hire him so they can lift all the trophies with the coach Stewie wants kappa.
Great content though Rich, it’s unreal how dense Stewie is acting trying to play this one out. I’m out on him for sure, he needs to just go to Valorant and free up the bag for someone that gives a shit.
LOL I saw that too. That was textbook definition dick riding. And I HATE to use that phrase.
I find it hilarious that people will claim Richard is biased or bat shit crazy but in reality, him and Thorin are the only ones unobjectively saying anything.
Thorin has a lot of incredibly shit takes for impressions. Criticism of him is entirely valid lol.
@@Falllll so you realize they are shit takes for impressions, yet they still upset you. You sound like the typical weirdo online just looking for a reason to be mad.
4 years ago I thought that C9 winning that major was the best thing that could happen for NA because it showed to everyone that it was possible. But it turned out to be the worst thing that could happen because their ego got so big it fucked everything up in the long run.
I don't think he'll be a pro in Valorant(he's not that great at the game) if he quits CS he'll just be a streamer
You don't have to be good at a game nowadays to be pro brother. It's all about your name. Look at Automatic, dude hasnt played competetively for years and yet he comes back and is instantly allowed on a pro team, the exact same for Nitro, dude was a pro valorant player for so long, then just came back to cs and instantly got a pro team. There are many more but these come instantly to my mind.
@@akeeMM atleast Nitro was good in Valorant, Automatic was trash
@@akeeMM because they still have more knowledge than most players. Someone like nitro can go back to cs and with little practice have more knowledge than most pros. He's a player that can play any position on any map comfortably, not many others in NA can and the ones who can do not have the experience of tournaments like nitro. It is an obvious choice, 2 years away from any sport and top players will almost always be competitive still, especially when you are practicing almost the exact same skills during that time.
@@naturalselection802 you seem to be remembering a different Nitro than I do. Also, it's not so much his purely mechanical skills (except for the sprays) that have wasted away in his time in Valorant, but his knowledge of the meta. Not insignificant, especially for an IGL of all roles...
Not expected a 1 hour rant on stew richard, lmao.
Jesus christ he didn't even give Damien a chance, shame because they're both super talented
richard (or someone else) just needs to be in a room with all of NA for like, 4 hours. for each player. just rip into them.
then do it again a month later
and a month later
and the next
make them feel like shit, the quitters will quit, and we'll get players that actually WANT to do better
i think there wouldnt be any NA players left after that xd bunch of egocentric bitches
What a manager should do basically.
I hate being an Na player because they only focus on the mechanics, not the brain or strategy as much, could be a lot better as a region.
Oh boy one hour of the hot gossip I crave. Gonna open a beer for this one. Cheers.
What a freaking joke! Had enough of this lame line that "winning is everything for me". Stop using it to justify that you treat others like shit! You're not Michael Jordan
Making the niko comparison is interesting given malek also coached niko and nothing like this came out
i dont know whats going on in stewies personal life but i remember when he used to play pugs with moe. he was stoned 99% of the times. i think he likes the superstar life of being a pro but lacks the mentality of doing hard/boring work.
18:50 It's just like prime Astralis. The reason they were so fucking good, and so fucking dominant, was because they lifted the floor, instead of having 5 individuals trying to push through the roof. They became almost PERFECT at CS:GO. You could hardly point out mistakes or flaws in their game, which weren't covered by a plan B. They were winning, because they didn't try to become 5x s1mples. They eliminate all the mistakes they were doing, which then meant they were winning. All 5 (6, including Zonic) were all taking the trashy job from time to time. They made sacrifices for each other.
i watched the whole video, ty RL
Stewie just proves to the world what a child he is... and i'm still seeing people siding with him. Such an american mentality he's the star he must be right
He doesn't think he is right... He knows he sucks but he doesn't want to deal with relationships and office politics BS when he should be scrimming and focusing on what he's good at (getting frags, awping, ect.)
Also, I would not grind on Valorant with a 0.55 rating against top 5 teams in cs go
Fire video, I hope he takes this to heart
to be honest i think the most fault lies with the org, you just don`t give so much power to a kid. you tell him stfu and play, you talk you`re being replaced.
In hockey we had coaches that would curse us out the entire game haha.
If we loose Richard from CSGO who do we have to relate any form of real life to these CS go talents and pros.
I frickin love your commentary it is informative, insightful, and good for a few laughs haha thank you
I was like it's alright, stewie is gonna come around sometime soon, he's only 20 (I thought because of how young he looks), he's gonna mature soon. And then Rich said he's in his mid twenties (30:42) and I was like wait, what? When was the Boston major again? 2 years ago? Oh fuck it's 2022.
_opens liquipedia_
_stewie2k age 24_
Holy shit. This dude is 24 and is acting so immature? What the actual fuck. It's clear many of CS pros have never had a real job by all the shit they do and say.
Could you imagine a star in any sport coming out and saying "I know I suck." WOW. That's the end of someone's career. Not for any reason other than confidence. If your confidence is gone, so are you.
Truth after trush , those words were like nails to him already pre-ordered coffin
"Are ya dizzy, bloke?"
10/10. Amazing.
Stewie is thinking he's gonna rock up and play duelist in Valorant with those stats? He's gonna eaten alive. Think about the duelists that were currently in Champions for the NA pro scene: Babybay, Dicey, S0m, Tenz, Corey, Will, Cryo, Sayaplayer, Koalanoob, Victor, Jawgemo, mada, and leaf. Who is he replacing? It's gonna be none of them at the Duelist position. And, with how franchising sounds right now, some of these guys are getting cut off the list which is a sham at that.
If I ever end up coaching or teaching csgo, this video will be a crusial lesson for the players.
To be fair, I'm not entirely sure that Stewie meant for the coach to be like 'play more like Nico'. Although, the problem is Stewie obviously doesn't articulate himself very well so it can be difficult to discern exactly what he means (another reason your suggestion to do an interview with a journalist is a great one, *especially* for players like himself). I think what he may have been trying to say with that comment is like "Nico does some of these basic things for his A lurk that you don't do, which is why he might be more successful". But regardless, great video as always!
19:25
I haven't played Dota in a while Rich, why do you have to trigger my PTSD like that man?
Always thought parts of the NA scene had a massive attitude issue, and always tought Stewie2k was the center of that. But holy shit it was even worse than i tought. Acting like a middle/highschooler when you are 25 in a professional setting and he doesn't even realize what he did wrong.
That's why I admire B1ad3 and Navi even more coz they gave B1ad3 all the reigns he gets to decide which player comes in and which goes he has full autonomy on game plan and has proper authority on players aswell he made S1mple listen and follow him whereas in the past S1mple disrespected B1ad3 and my god B1ad3 has eye for talent he brought S1mple he brought electronic he brought Perfecto in Navi he sidelined F1amie after giving him enough chances and now he brought SDY he also helped in making current cloud 9 roster for Gambit and also helped Navi in making their academy roster
The thing I find mental about the 40:54 Mark is if you want to win at all costs why would you give up the valuable games in pro league to try new strats and get the team ready for the next tourny, surely if you want to win at all costs you'd be desperate to use that time to try it like scrims but in a match live practice, better than giving up surely?
RIP Legacy, watching almost 2 years later and it's still funny to listen to Stewie try to speak his mind because instead all you can hear is his ego
"YOU HAD ONE JOB. DAMN YOU EVY."
10:57 had me genuinely laughing
He isn’t even the third best player from C9 to try their hand in Valorant. Autimatic and Tarik are both contenders for actual duelists for top teams in Valorant - Tarik is the definition of a pubstomper duelist player… and he doesn’t even have a contract with any org
To be fair, tarik is all in on streaming. He did mentioned that he's receive quite a bit of offers from valorant orgs, but declined.
@@marknguyen5373 I checked tarik's stats because i was curious after seeing Stew's. They are so much better it's not even comparable.
i wonder what coach they could possibly get for this team, with it being the way it is. not to mention with this current roster as is., ya idk if they will have any luck on either front.
There isn't one really. Once stewies ego has gotten too big and he doesnt have respect for staff structure, plus coaching in ESports not being as well established as it is in other sports means that the players are often more valuable financially to the orgs than the coaches.
Kassad has to come and alpha over these lazy, entitled kids
@@funkyfresh2259 ya i think he would more than likely do a really good job. if the players were open to his approach of the game ,and tactics. and also "Respected him" then ya maybe. but they could maybe also get adren, because liquid just got rid of him very recently. but NA is not a great place to coach at really lol sadly.
@@funkyfresh2259 the problem isnt the coach its the players. You cant coach someone who thinks they dont need authority or who is too stupid to understand what a coach does.
I think they signed Daps as a coach. If anything, he's used to a lot of heat and trouble in his squads. Improving a team only to get kicked shouldn't be unfamiliar to him.
Edit: My Bad. Team Liquid signed daps, not EG.
44:00 feels like the body movements and the words should have been edited to be a rap song or something
I love Richard's "holier than thou" crusader mentality
I am Brazilian so I'll make an observation that might be biased but I hope it makes sense to anybody that might want to read it.
The fact that Fallen got his old mates together (we all know that no one from any country other than Brazil believed in them, and I didn't either even though I rooted for them) in Imperial and still managed to do a pretty good job relative to what was expected from them in regards to the Major, to me, particularly, shows something about Stewie that doesn't seem to work, from what I understand about the game. I'm no specialist, of course, but it seems that Liquid Stewie (I can't comment on an specific game or how he played in mibr because I really didn't care for mibr at the time, and still don't) wanted the highlights, he didn't want the labouring that builds a beautiful win or at least an amazing try, which is odd to me since he managed to do such a great job at Boston, like Richard pointed out.
Stewie's mentality seems broken and I've seen soccer players being like that, and all the good coaches did was to never let them play until they earned it, while having talks in practice. Stewie needs a good shaking to bring him down to Earth again or he's just going to be another former great player that could have done a lot more but chose to believe he was the best and refused having the future he would have earned had he worked harder.
I hope that makes sense.
Also, love your work, Richard. Keep it up.
Fallen is an actual leader who knows how to utilize his teammates, I'm not really a fan of Imperial and I must admit I didn't really believe in them, but damn was I wrong. After seeing what they're capable of my respect for them skyrocketed. 60% of the team is over 30 and they're taking down some very notable teams - just shows Fallen's leadership skills.
Stewie on the other hand is not and has never been a leader. You can see it in his attitude, especially in the way he sees coaches. Twistzz left TL because of Stewie - and I've literally never heard anyone say anything bad or seen anyone being toxic to Fallen, except for Stewie.
It's sad, Stewie still has potential to succeed and I want him to do so but he'd need to let go of his ego, something which I can't really see him doing
Please, can you just f off with the "no one but us believed". It's seriously antagonizing and pushes people away from being supportive.
@@1cedcoffee I agree with you 100%. Stewie never seemed to be a bad person but he is definitely self-centered and that's bad enough in a team environment. I only wish good things for the guy so I hope he overcomes his ego, if that makes sense.
Really seems like the problem in Liquid was Stewie. And Fallen probably could have succeeded with them had he actually been given the room to implement his own stuff rather than the team just defaulting back to whatever the hell Stewie advocated for whenever they started losing rather than riding it out and improving.
@@Falllll i dont think the fallen bullshit situation in liquid is exclusively stewies fault though. it seemed to me that most of the players didnt want to conform to fallens style especially elige and stewie. i think elige also has some qualities like stewie to a much lesser degree though. fallen got totally fucked over in liquid though. side note i think it also seemed like nitro and adren left because of stewie based on the interview of twistzz by thorin
Honestly, I was waiting for this video. I felt that it was a bit weird that you covered the story without waiting for stews response, but here we are. All good.
What's weird about me reacting to a public interview that was published? Why would I need to wait for Stewie to respond to that?
@@RLewisReports because your shit is biased as fuck, unsubbed.
@@RLewisReports I guess weird wouldn't be the right word. I just dont like the idea of "breaking news." Not necessarily this one, but in a lot of cases no one knows shit until all is said and done, until all the info is out there. So, reporting on something to early, or giving or opinion to early can spread miss info or can be damaging. I would say that most people don't ever watch the second video or watch the correction, right. They formulate their opinions on the first bit and just ride with that. Also, I do understand being a journalist and, as it is your job, being almost required to report on it right away. This goes for every type of breaking news, not just this situation. Though we may have a few disagreements here, for the most part, your take is quite objectively correct. But yeah, that is my take on reporting to early, especially when its kinda all hear say. Hear say as in this dude said something and we haven't heard what the other dude has said yet. Does that make sense?
@@Qytiss this article was a literal transcription from stewie's response to evy's statement
@@Qytiss this isnt a report. He's reacting to something Stewie said on his own stream, and interpreting it. That's not 'reporting', it's simply his opinion. If that is somehow damaging to Stewie, he shouldn't have said what he did on stream and shown the (extremely poor) attitude he did...as Richard himself said, why shouldn't he react to that? He's not saying events transpired one way or another, and it's perfectly clear where he speculates/makes very educated guesses.
It is really sad to see this... Stewie was awesome... how he changed CS meta was mindblowing at the time...
The problem is not that he fell a little bit from the tree... he fell it all, hitting all the branches and when he arrived at the roots he thinks he still atop of the tree...

It is shocking how many top players have no sports experience. When esports first started in the MLG days a large majority of pros came from a sports background because gaming wasn’t that popular, and most kids under 16 years old couldn’t afford online gaming and most parents did not like their kids gaming. Most of the online multiplayer gamers were people addicted to competition during the offseason of their sport.
Its very different now, and America in particular has a real problem with fundamentals. Most kids at the highest rank coming up in the scene are absolutely braindead just like Stewie. They can’t understand why a call is fundamentally correct, they only look at results. It doesn’t matter if people fucked up execution, if you are a coach and called something that fails 1 time out of 10, then its your fault that they lost.
This is why American teams pass around the IGL role like a fucking hot potato, and after every tournament if the team hasn’t won someone on the roster has to get replaced. It doesn’t matter if the team got better, if they didn’t win, someone gets replaced. Its actually disgusting. I don’t know how any coach is supposed to get a team to win when they have less than 3 months with any given roster.
When I was growing up watching esports I had so much hope for the games. I naively thought that esports would get smarter, more strategical, and more mechanically perfect. Instead esports has somehow regressed. As there is less and less jocks in esports, the top end play is becoming more and more like soloq. Random individual plays with barely any structure.
Dude started with 'everybody hates stewie2k' and ended with 'everybody hates stewie2k'.
How the turn tables.
When he was talking about being invited to Starbucks for teambuilding making him uncomfortable, phrasing it like he was about to be molested or something - jeeeeeeeez.
Really good with the they don't want to win they want to be the one winning statement most online games are something like this
Comment for the algo.
Keep up the good work Rich.
did stewie2k not win a grand slam with liquid and major with c9?
Yep, ive said this once and ill say it again: Lack of discipline.
Go to a soccer team and try to disagree with the coach, be a negative part of the collective.. you will probably get benched.
Go to a new dojo in the first day or two, and disagree with the master telling him that you know what your doing and turn your back to him when hes talking ... You will probably have your shit beaten by the rest of the dojo people.
I have no idea how indiscipline isnt offensive in eSports and sometimes even encouraged..
It's really fucked up too because these kind of attitudes only work to undermine all the work actual professionals put in in order to legitimize esports as a platform of competition. Who is going to take esports seriously when we barely get any peeks behind the curtains and when we do its all a bunch of goo goo dada baby shit.
Yeah I mean look at the stance vitality took when they couldn't get results, zonic had to stop playing favorites and treat magisk and dupreeh how he would a disciple, strict.
I mean clearly that's not all there is to it but going from losing to every top ten team to beating ence and g2 shows the tenacity these europeans has to the NA divas.
It's funny that Stewie compares himself to NiKo and S1mple when NiKo literally worked with Malek and was brought back to form and became a top 3 player again with a rifle in an awp-centric game under him, and S1mple has Blade who has all the keys in NaVi. Stewie is nothing like S1mple or NiKo in and out of the server, this is the same guy who said himself that he checked out of a tournament because he couldn't pass the group stage, and putting his name together with S1mple and NiKo who famously 1v9'd their way into MVP level performances and deep tournament runs for years before they got into good teams just shows how narcissistic he is. And the things he said about being able to work with Yanko and how it's different from working with Malek is also contradictory from the truth since Yanko himself has publicly said that he wished he was stricter with the players during his time on mibr and that some of the players really lacked basic disciplinary actions like waking up and joining practice on time.
Mibr had 4 other players than stew.
you should react to freakazoid's pov. He bad mouthed the org, the higher ups, the management, everyone, except Stewie. Said everyone else was in the wrong and honestly that seems to also be the sentiment online. Most people are on Stewie's side. Not sure why, Stewie's my favorite player and even I can understand that he's probably hard to deal with and has been even worse with it lately, especially with all the results his team has put out. Who wouldn't be upset, on edge and just all around angry or depressed after being a major winner and now struggle to put out results? But to be called a 'paycheck stealer' means you are falling low Stewie, please don't continue to fall further
I don't think anybody is surprised freakazoid had a shitty take to offer, he's not exactly known for his intellect
@@MrJ4ckie LMFAO
add clips of this to the everybody hates stewie2k youtube video lol. just noticed you're in bat country. stay safe. also lol stewie2k is doing an Ethan. nice
That starbucks story is unreal lol
His description of coach is what a 9 year old thinks a coach is but has never seen one and only knows the concept.
I feel like people looked the other way, when Stewie was a star player, but now he's washed up and trying and failing to be an IGL. People are calling him on his shit.
Man I couldn’t stand those Stewie lovers calling him one of NAs best IGLs purely because he won a major when he claimed ti be IGL. You could always tell that Stewie was brainless and that he had no IGL qualities. I really liked Stewie when he was coming up, he was fairly humble, being positive and having fun, but come on, how haven’t the fans picked up on the fact that NA teams pass around the IGL role like a hot potato. Obviously NA doesn’t respect the IGL role because otherwise they wouldn’t have the balls to pretend to be an IGL. Certain people were born to be leaders.
The fact that they didn’t respect Fallen is fucking mental. The dude brought a team to south america to learn from the weakest major region in CSGO, and was able to build a structure for his team that lead to winning Majors. The way his team operated wasn’t a secret, they filmed behind the scenes videos of their scrims and shit like that. They subtitled them. They played in Esea/Faceit with him and his players. It couldn’t be more obvious that all you had to do was trust Fallen and listen to him.
You would think he would mature at some point but apparently not
