Twistzz (Star) + NAF (Awp) + Fang (Entry) + Hext (Anchor/support) + Walco (IGL)
all canadian team

big dropoff after fang tho
daps as a coach aswell

imagine NAF and Twistzz learning German because of their girlfriends and then +tabseN +??? +???

broky bm-ing his own team

i dont even think there's enough s tier event left in csgo
mid june to mid july
g2 wont be in Rio
so they need to win Paris - Dallas - The two Blast event
Yea
Spring final is the last event if it's after the player break
chooses to keep csgo + cs2
Maybe they might delay the switch?
Because new game so sort out possible teething issues
CS2 major will be in march
Yeap
There are only two ESL tournaments left, and G2 doesnt participate in one of them
Blast event count in grand slam
Since when?
wait
Intel is partner of ESL, not Blast nor anyone else
Only ESL Events count towards IGS
The change during the tournament break... Idk, on one hand not all pros got access to CS2 yet (I assume), and during the break it is supposed to be for the players to have some time off, not to grind CS2 most of the time
But on the other hand it would make sense the most. Why should there be another kind of tournament break right after Cologne/EPL18 and just so shortly before the next major?
Hey everyone, as ECL has ended I am exploring other options for NA and EU. While ive been happy with our performance recently, the constant in/out of players has been draining. I am continuing to play with ATK for the meantime.
Feel free to reach out to me directly.
-Swisher +Stewie2K then? 
.@ESEA Open Grand finalist banned for cheating

only in na
Richard Lewis reveals HUNDEN signed contract with Astralis while at Heroic https://t.co/aKQ23WXCLc
Hope that @valvesoftware or @CounterStrike has plans to combat cheats early on, and I am not talking about ragehackers; I am also talking about closet cheaters. or cs2 won't be a fun experience for anybody
the game isnt even out
🏆 PGL CS2 Major Copenhagen 2024 - The first ever Counter-Strike 2 Major will take place next year in Denmark 🇩🇰
📅 March 17-31
🏟️ Royal Arena
🗞️ Read more about it: https://t.co/heCmvGOOFx

Sheesh major date confirmed alr
about 1 year after the beta drop 
So many people guessed either Copenhagen or Katowice as the first major...
but yea congrats Denmark i guess
surely after 2 majors
pgl wont fix their audio issues midway through the major this time right?

https://twitter.com/CounterStrike/status/1640473649651277824
so they basically don't give a f*ck if you played the game for +1000 hours in the last year because it was Faceit 
PSA: Idling on official matchmaking servers in CS:GO does not increase your chances of making into the CS2 Limited Test. The playtime that counts was your playtime prior to the start of the Limited Test.

1293
i guess they sent the beta to every major participant
would explain why shroud/ska
got their invites
even tho they didnt really play cs since their retirement
ggs
- swisher?
Swisher + Viz + Momo
would make PA (Ex-EG white) instant best T2 team in NA
just in time for CS2
yeah I saw a ss of a valve dev confirming this on reddit
cl_physics_highlight_active 5 gives you wallhacks atm, please fix.

oh my lord am I happy that I kept all my Stockholm foils and holos
Now I am really thinking if I should still keep them or sell now
my advice is wait for paris
if the paris sticker somehow looked better then you should sell
but ppl are gonna sell their investments to buy passes so idk tbh
I will keep some like VP and Liquid
crazy how mouz golds are worth more than their kato 14 papers
but one like Entropiq I might sell already because they are not in the next major
Tfw csgo market is more stable than some real stocks
it's hilarious, they are the most expensive sticker by like 300% from the Stockholm ones
antwerp capsules are worth 10x more than the sale price btw
and its only been a few months after the major
I just hope that PGL stickers are not "clear" ones like Kato 14 and Stockholm
if it does just sell them
good that I have a lot of them in my storage unit
did I say PGL? I mean Blast...
Imma need to check when the new stickers might be announced if there is like a pattern
If smooya performs good, then -degster +smooya confirmed
also it seems like the danish niko will stay in OG until the end of the major cycle as an igl
OG lineup never catches a break... literally EU Evil Geniusses
TSM getting a new team before Paris Major 
I'm really waiting until I open HLTV and the headline is just "FaZe to sell whole roster - report"
pls no faze to tsm..
karrigan wouldn't go there again
there was a reason why he and the other Danes left TSM to form Astralis
Im willing to offer one mcdonald meal a month per player
And coach
For the faze roster

I can cook for them once or twice a month!!
They dont need the money, they just won 1.2m
they only need bootcamp once every few months, a pracc server and thats it
Still cant believe astralis signed hunden
the whole Hunden situation is a meme
Dev1ce should leave
also ruining the careers of some younger talents like Lucky, Bubzki, Jugi
I’ll never forgive them for ruining bubzki
ye same
Lucky and Farlig could recover their form a bit in Tricked and Copenhagen Flames
the issue I see with pric3tag is that he can do everything very good, but there isnt anything where he might be the best (except movement but we talking roles)
atleast since he was in Astralis there were a lot of role changes even with C9 and NIP
iirc when he stood in for FaZe he even mentioned he liked being like an entry again because it was a role he was familiar with from pre-Astralis and being very comfortable with it
but seriously I've never seen Nato playing except for being a standin the last few years
what he doing
they recently lost their coach
lets see how long that roster will survive
also kinda funny that Nato was never longer than a year in a team, that being only Nordavind and Sprout for 11 months
every other team only like 3 months or so
that's sad, but understandable for the situation they are in 🙏
junior diff
timbermen

However, when pressed, he classified the in-game issues as "toxicity" and "griefing which made everyone upset/miserable and it would snowball."

NA at its best
cant wait for cs2

csgo players finally getting a financial compensation after all those mental torturing
yea its going wild
still waiting for Blast to announce the stickers so I can make stonks
how lucky EG must be... not only losing partner spots but also getting a free invite to the RMR
I still dont know why droid joined that team
That core literally got banned for a year/two from faceit and esea for being toxic and racist
After elige himself exposed them
NA needs to develop their collegiate scene
So they can learn not only how to play but also social skills
TSM is committed to esports
We’re planning to enter CS:GO sometime later this year which is a larger investment than all of the games we’ve left combined
TSM is always evaluating what esports ecosystems are best to invest in and will continue to enter & exit games
2165
Didnt they said that already last summer?
But there are a lot of free agents on the market nowadays, and some teams are still looking for an organisation
save naf pls
umar (awp) + wolffe + nifty (igl)
very strong core for a t2 na team
t1. TL - COL
t2. EG Black - Ex-EG White - Nouns - ATK - Strife - Detonate
t3. Limitless - Vendetta - Yur - timbermen - Take Flyte
thats how i rank them (not in order)
*more like potential to be t2 i guess
extra salt - party astronauts - triumph - bad news bears
miss them

well... why did we want more NA events?


no more nifty50 tho :(
Public visibility and more quality pracs for the serious na teams

With how eg, tl and col been performing they def need it

Astralis without a coach 
yep
which one of you was this 
I was playing an official with a Rosé pfp against someone with a Tzuyu pfp
What the heck I didnt open HLTV for 3 days and its full with news, where do I even start???
He performed better than 3 of their players
The only reason was "he crumbles under pressure"
But the stats dont back it up at all
Like qikert fame and jame where?
qikert is literally in a different level of bad rn
I cant access the whole stats for the team at the RMR right now, but on the first sight they pwrformed worse overall
If they would've said something like team atmosphere it couldve made more sense
Yea
Iirc
Qikert has a 0.71
Kairon
Is 1.06
I mean qikert is playing all the shit roles now, but still?
He is usually pretty good in those positions
There was someone in na ecl who was named ‘’blackpinklisa’’
2 years ago ish
Iirc
Or at least competed at that kind of level
actual American Clasico
at this point
damn, rip vp
they made history at least
dexter lives another day 🙏
dexter, my beloved
||lads lads lads||
uk cs taking over
theyre just prepping for cs2 :copium:

Two time Intel Grand Slam playing in Challengers
Not again 
saving strats for cs2
dont worry
tbh i just think they arent that hungry anymore
twistzz said that they cared more about the Grand Slam than the major
jfc faze what are you doing
looooooooooool
SEXTER GOES TO PARIS
wait is faze out?
they go to the last chance qualifier
oh that's a thing in Europe RMR ?
Maybe they can make it, sometimes they just need a bit longer to wake up after getting slapped
Only 1 goes through right
ye
Sheesh faze have a big task then
im expecting big clan there aswell
lmaoo
which language will they be talking tho?
rmr timeee
g2 last gameee
sdy: "We told BOROS: 'nafany plays con, you have two legs, go win'" https://t.co/GWRoysnGhd
refrezh to EG confirmed
what a way to tell nafany is a noob 
idk why, but this EG feels like Cloud9 from late 2018-2019
just changing players every 2 events it feels like
yea agree. Especially if we consider that NA doesnt really have something like a Academy League or decent T2 events
didnt even play on EG Black before the call -> straight up to main
same thing with junior back then
second half of 2020 in na cs
was rough af
we had to rely on fl0m mythic cups
to see na t2 teams play
thats how bad it was
time for the CCTs and BetBooms and whatever they are called to do something in NA aswell
like we have more and more TOs over here in europe T2 landscape but nothing for NA
we have CCT in na
but somehow
they manage to conflict with ESEA leagues schedule
nouns trying their best

oh, didnt realize they did NA stuff
esea cash cup NA circuit
8 tournaments with 5K cash prize
and points leading to a 60k finals
thats basically the only NA tier 2 circuit
Fragadelphia is also a TO we might lose
since they (nerdstreet) lost some crypto sponsors
at this point
i dont even want orgs to join na
i want TOs
since there is no point entering a scene without tournaments
yea the circuit is kinda dead over there
also a problem was that some Orgs dumped a shit ton of money into NA CS without realising what the concequences are
even a monthly 5k-10k tournament in NA would "greatly" help the scene
need to win the lottery to save na cs

also wasnt there a report today or yesterday about EG losing some important sponsors since the end of last year?
yeah
that could mean another huge L for NA CS
would explain dropping EG white
if it really goes that far as happened with like a 100Thieves or CLG
i mean
EG Black core rn could farm na t2 and stay together
the main team only plays EU to get shit on
TSM should sign EG Black
muenster would be free to go back to Party Astronauts
Madcow could go to nouns and help semphis
Shakezullah could un retire and mentor more players (like grim, floppy, osee, junior, viz)
we need igls like Shake to comeback
Shake retired??
what the heck did I miss all the time
bnb disbanded almost 8 months ago
is he just assistant coach over at EG ?
the latest news I find on him on HLTV is from september where they didnt qualify for IEM Rio RMR
yea jonji you posted here a few days ago iirc
momo too
its joever for me
hopefully chop and cxzi will help Party Astronauts
cxzi and viz used to play together with shake
chop used to be on the EG Black core (wiz-hext-walco)
shame that yur
will not stay together

but good news for na cs
nouns will prolly be funded for the rest of the year
hoping that Nouns keep that roster
im not gonna lie
theyre like one or two roster moves from being NA t1
the marke pickup
was huge
just checking EG's liquipedia, how many coaches do they have ????????
iirc the assistant coaches work one the 3 2 teams
Vorborg, maLeK, Shake and Hepa
even tho Hepa moved from Analyst to being a Strategic coach together with maLek


Semphis being their coach looks hella promising
who their awper?
was he good rifler before?
he was great at rifling under shake
if so get junior out of the EG camp

tbf a lot of AWPers nowadays were riflers before and picked up AWP cuz they needed to
syrson, broky, mantuu
iirc hades aswell
looking good actually
imagine if we had Extra Salt nowadays
oSee having those stats tho
yeah
that run till funspark
i really thought Fang would be top 5 na
he is still top 10
Fang was one of the names I was excited the most from NA
tbf in CoL its difficult for Fang to be the best in the team if you have both floppy and Grim
actually floppy talked about taking more "shit spots"
for grim and fang
recently
iirc
floppy is a god tho


he can be the NAF of USA one day with playing those shit spots to perfection
but I'm curious what is missing for Liquid to be title contenders. like if both Yekindar and Elige are not performing, they can't win at all
yea that's true, CT side for CoL was a mess for a long time
osee needs to be more confident
or at least
set him up
more
because nearly all the plays are dedicated to yekindar and elige
from memory
yea true tho
if they had an AWPer like woxic, it would be interesting how it would play out
would start 3v5
yekindar dies because woxic doesnt setup him up
and woxic dies because he would aggro without support
yea I didnt think about that part
then nevermind my idea
hoping he finds another good team one day
they just need to adjust the amount of plays that osee gets
if oSee gets more plays, he might get his confidence back
but its like a circle. if he doesnt perform, he gets less plays. less plays equals no confidence, no confidence equals no performance
I need to watch a few liquid games again to make myself an opinion about them now, the last time I watched them was Katowice
has more flashes success than osee in cologne
I don't really know the exact playstyle of EliGe, but it feels like Liquid has too many aggro players
TL and COL should share their tside and cside stratbooks
like if EliGe and Yekindar slow it down a little bit to give more freedom to oSee and NAF, it might be an improvement
NAF sometimes being a bit too passive, oSee we just talked about getting no plays
autimatic... which team could be put him? or with which players
but if you compare NAF to other players who play his roles and positions, he is a bit too passive
but he must be that passive because they got EliGe Yekindar and nitr0
can even go back to awp
I mean sure if he wants to AWP and really is dedicated for that, go for it
So basically the T2 NA teams we are rooting for are Party Astronauts, Nouns and the Nifty one?
define t2
Everything that isnt CoL or Liquid
we talking ESL Challenger league level or most promising team
I dont care, just neither CoL nor Liquid
Because most promising team should reach ESL Challenger league
Nouns - Party Astronauts - Detonate (the team that got screwed for and EG got their spot) - Strife - Eg Black - Take Flyte (Nifty) - Limitless
I forgot about Strife and Detonate
Strife got Clasia and D4rty from yur
Limitless i forgot who that was
I mean having a high rating on a big amount of maps, looking good actually
Just a bit inconsistent
0.91 after 6 maps is a bit worrying but i dont know who they played and how it went
but they got the "its not the awper whos the main carry" problem

i think the meta

we got too many awpers man
mantuu smooya woxic syrsoN Nato
And the list goes on
Cerq
All of them were insane awpers at times
maybe except for Nato, but standin buff is a thing
reminds me of k0nfig to NIP
Except they confirmed its perm long time
if they just said he is there temporarily (definitly not but who needs to know), easy standin buff for them
na cs t2 tier :
Nouns - Party Astronauts - EGB - ATK
Detonate - Strife- Take Flyte - Limitless
the Rest
Timbermen
Fl0m 
is poizen still alive since fnatic?
he did good in NIP occasionally
free agent list needs to be updated, both Gratisfaction and jks are in a team now
from cphflames
isnt he bulgarian?
oh frick I messed up the flag
Oh wait im stupid
I meant bulgarian all the time, teams like 500, Budapest Five n stuff
can they even afford him?
the move would be to go to a t2 team
but would a t2 team rather take him or a promising young awper
should comeback to NA
we need awpers

should go to a team like endpoint
would sell him to a bigger team
if he does good
problem with poizon was his hand injury
he did the olof back in CoL
and who wants a player like that
it looked promising
hope obo got the help he needs
just wanted to ask something but that is too literal in that case
but hoping he got the help too
Was jks already in that lineup? Kinda forgot who was there
konfig blamef obo rush poizon?
yeah
its so weird having blameF both aa the IGL and kind of a lurker
blamef rush and konfig being the gym bros
It looked so funny, rush konfig blamef and then you got obo
3 gym beasts and then a baby

the best CoL lineup was with coldzera tho, where they did not lose once 16-0 but twice within a short time, was it even in the same event?
that was a big L for cold, probably even career-destroying move
FaZe was in shambles after Katowice 2018
imagine having karrigan and not letting him be igl
kicking karrigan, olof being on-off all the time, can't find any IGL until 2021
in the end it got them broky-twistzz
I mean not only after Boston but especially after Katowice, the trust just wasnt there anymore
Loosing those two events ruined everything for the team
Twistzz joining FaZe only happened because karrigan was in talk with FaZe before, he said he wanted a certain budget and Twistzz wanted to play with him
then -coldzera and waiting for +ropz
karrigan had a blueprint, he got everything he wanted
Wait for major grand final
if only TL chose twistzz over stew
Twistzz wanted to Main AWP for Liquid back when nitr0 left
let them him cook
imagine Twistzz Main AWP, Stew IGL, EliGe and Grim being their star players, and NAF being NAF
It could've had potential
but they had other issues aswell
Twistzz being 2nd IGL couldve helped vanity aswell with the experience
But idk if Twistzz 2nd IGLing came because of karrigan or from himself
Yea that was really bad
Xeppaa and floppy to C9 was like the last hope when the others left for Valulrant
xeppaa and leaf were on par with grim
so happy that he stayed
didnt floppy mention one day he can speak german? Why didnt he join BIG when -Xantares happened 
busy flopping
its ok
if jackz could join t1 at 27
why not me

still got years before 27
But Jackz is a better fit for Vitality
naah I want dupreeh and es3tag back in a team together
ESL Challanger Katowice is a thing now?
"ESL Challenger Katowice is the former ESL Challenger Hannover event"
liquipedia paged got updated
i need a clean run from col
they should beat anybody in na
definitly
even with hallzerk at 150 ping
atk got reck as standin
nvm
nouns is playing the qualifier rn
i will allow a nouns win
nifty too
jitter has been on a hunt for a long-term team for four months.
lmao I think that’s the same guy I played against if it’s NA MM
ye
i got cooked
winners qualify to the closed quali
ngl nouns and pa got screwed in terms of seeding

I mean those are the 4 best teams you want to see there, no?
if i were the gm of EG csgo
- release autimatic -> he deserves better
- make EG Black the main roster but instead of only going to t1 events -> make them bootcamp in EU for t2/t3 events and scrims weeks before the big events
- EG Black 2.0 -> Cyrix (AWP)(Snake Den) + Lake (IGL)(Snake Den) + Jason (1Jin) + Sacrifice (1Jin) + Pol0 (FA) (19.6yrs old in avr)
i can always dream
cs manager game when
its been 3 months since an update
That pre-break team was crazy as a Astralis fan
My boy Dupreeh and Xyp9c 🔥🔥🔥😮💨
hades is fucking on one rn
now the question is, will he be consistent with it?
hope this becomes the Clasico for NA t2
like TeamOne and BNB or Extra Salt and Pain
back in the day
nvm
col dropped their spot
so we PA vs Take Flyte for the 3rd spot
Team Flyte 6 players 
https://twitter.com/maxxenko/status/1646464988419092481
Aurora vs. Eternal Fire 
it actually worked out for them 
time to get Kairon to BIG 
Bruh
I wonder what's the intense training

theyre gonna save harder
what the fuck is happening (rmr spoiler)
"mutual agreement of the parties" 
I swear gob or Roman or tabsen please sign this guy. Doesnt matter if main team or Academy
doesnt he have german citizenship or something
he is part german and he can speak german
what about me, i am free agent, so ready to get any possible offers from NA/CIS/EU, know 3 languages English Russian and German, so atm waiting for any possible offers on my twitter DM
even NA 
Bruh
Not surprised but rip kairon
OOP didn't see th3 earlier msgs whoops
MarKE
c9 vs faze soon 👀
both major winners from last year not making it to the last csgo major would be wild
LOL
god ropz
I didnt realize the first time nafany planted the bomb it didnt finish
I can’t believe c9 choked the map this badly
they playing slower than VP or old NaVi right now
FaZe slowly building up their momentum and confidence is fatal for C9
it’s early to say but I think c9 might be done for the whole series, no confidence and they have a tendency to not perform in high-stakes
if they lose this map then they'll be mental boomed for sure
was looking really good when shiro and axile were doing hot
its their pick
not only that but both buster and especially Hobbit not really performing
hobbit not performing hurts me
I love him so much
their mental alrwady looks boomed
buster 8-22 is rough
yea, especially when we are in overtime now
good night c9
C9 t side mid round calls are abysmal
sick shot from sh1ro but thats gg
never seen C9 being that bad on their t-side
it feels like a recent phenomenon, like only in this RMR kinda recent
Choke9
its ok faze has just been sandbagging so they get more reps in at the major
more practice in for major 
hobbit’s one of my favorite players, pains me to see him like this
that was cold as fuck from karrigan lmao
what did he do, I missed it sadly
he pulled out a piece of confetti from his pocket and said something along the lines of "this is what happened when we last played c9"
i think it was from when they beat c9 to win pro league
shiro doing his best to 1v9
buster doing well kill-wise but why go through that molly
gg faze
estonian fboy ropz
expecting someone to do the pickem for me for free diamond coin ❤️
hopefully this will be 3/4 diamond coins for me (Rio I still hate you so much for not giving me diamond coin)

EG disbandment when
motm new one?
https://www.hltv.org/news/36085/azr-departs-sprout-after-45-days what the actual f-
sprout having a stable roster impossible challenge
Sprout wants to be up in the ranks with the likes of EG, OG and fellow countrymen BIG
Vitality loosing to an OG without an IGL, and it isnt even a Blast event 
and apex isnt underperforming
not only that but he is the highest rated player in the match 
yeah nah
vitality not winning the major
they can barely win vs great teams when zywoo has like 1.30+ rating
overreacting
yes
no but u talking the truth
also
who he replacing
i dont even know his roles, but considering he seemed like the star player for Astralis, him replacing Xyp might be a waste for his talent
idk what VP is doing with their team, like they wanna join the likes of OG etc. that I mentioned before? makes no sense
Watch the story of Bobby and OG presented by @snapdragon Elite Gaming: https://youtu.be/cVrXCPRCZIM

good games
also mythic too ig

does the EG main lineup even play any tournament at the moment? 
big CIS shuffle incoming (again) ? 
Same
Damn those 2 dupreeh kills
Those 2 were insane
If vit wins this series
They need to thank dupreeh for it
c9 mental boomed
isn't even fair
zywoo is going to be even better at paris
navi heroic game is insane

.@TeamEndpoint to field @smooyacs for ESL Premiership
Currently looking to sponsor a CSGO team who’ve qualified to the major on a 6-12 month deal. Won’t elaborate more on that here. I’ve reached out a bunch already, if I haven’t reached out to you feel free to DM for info.
Budget is approved and just shortlisting best candidates.
prices are looking so yummy right now, if I would sell my knife and glove combo now, I would do like 500€ profit from it
now I need to wait until Valve publishes a date when CS2 will go public so prices will skyrocket even more
valve needs to tap more into the indian market
I didnt even want to join there, but since my Gamma Doppler went up in price by almost 4 times since CS2 got released
so we get a even bigger growth
true, but india scene kinda dead since forsaken incident
i mean
like they are still playing and having some tourneys, but they are like not on the worldmap for big tourneys
was there even a team from india in either the Asia or Dubai RMR qualifier?
nope
not looking good
docc and loban in the asian rmr
no indian team made it to the open qualifier for the rmr
but at least
the mongolian scene
is growing fast
oh absolutely
pre-covid everyone was talking about Tyloo, now we talk about the mongolz
i dont think indian cs will go anywhere unless the south asia valorant challengers league goes bust
even though global esports are ass, its hard to compete with a tier 1 team having two indian players on it
de bruyne
That is so unexpected 
boy is gonna trashtalk t2 scene now
