stanislaw thoughts on na cs

wintry skiff
#

what is EG doing in cct central eu

#

theyre doing the logical thing of going to t2/t3 events instead of dying every 2 months in t1

sour nexus
#

meanwhile EG Black playing in ECL Melbourne

wintry skiff
sour nexus
#

Interesting... iirc wasnt there also a discussion at the same time that NAF could join EG to play with tarik and ethan?

#

so 2020 could've been the time for an NA re-shuffle, but it didnt work out at all

wintry skiff
#

i think the NAF to EG

#

was 2021

#

NAF - Elige - Brehze - Cerq - Twistzz/Grim/Nitr0/Stew

#

depending on what period of 2020 we tlaking

#

if they kept Twistzz

#

it would prolly the best aiming na squad ever

#

would have done NAF - Elige - Twistzz (AWP) - Brehze - Nitr0

#

personally

#

even if Cerq didnt fall off

sour nexus
#

NAF said in an interview it was with Tarik and Ethan 100%, maybe even with Brehze

#

idk if it was 2020 or 2021, but Ethan wanted to stick with Valorant

wintry skiff
#

punching the air rn with "NA CS what ifs"

sour nexus
#

but... what if Stewie never decided to be a primary IGL

wintry skiff
#

or stayed on c9 post boston major for more than 3-4 months

#

stewie is a great 2nd caller

sour nexus
#

I dont remember who it was, but recently someone, probably launders, did a good video on Stewie and it actually makes so much sense

wintry skiff
#

yeah its launders

sour nexus
#

but if we think about the EG coaching situation back with Stew... I think there are more issues than just the calling, right?

wintry skiff
#

the whole management

#

front office

#

no direction

sour nexus
#

i meant regarding stewie

#

but maybe he was like that because of management, but on the other hand if I rewatch some clips from near the end of his time in Liquid with FalleN

wintry skiff
#

oh

#

????????????????

#

2.2m

#

youre kidding me

#

pls someone buyout EG Black

#

i dont want them to be ruined by this trash ass management

sour nexus
#

Yes, thank you

and yet still $2m prize pool for majors

wintry skiff

nope

Just had my worst game in my entire life in CS:GO.
Within the first half of the game I was at -1/1/14, at the end of the game (4:16) I was 3/3/19

wintry skiff
#

it do be like that sometimes

sour nexus
#

yes but its still like yvesgowonwhat

deep plank
#

only up from here

wintry skiff
#

hit the EG of the barrel

sour nexus
#

NA mindset just hits different

it hurts to see sadge

covert palm
#

damn

runic fog
#

The players went and bought their own stickers on the market

#

a day before this came out

#

i sold my cph stickers one day before this happened moyaibusiness

runic fog
#

let me check

#

i sold them for 11 a piece and had 4 of them

#

they were at 20 yesterday for a short amount

#

now at 17. i guess alot of people went and bought them so they sunk agakn

sour nexus
#

First Heroic, then Astralis, and now CPH Flames //edit: also Tricked after reading the HLTV article.

#

can't just FaZe go bankrupt aswell so my fav roster can represented a decent org and I can sell all of the stickers? hyunface

sour nexus
covert palm
#

Got them at 2 3 right

#

That's x 4 ~ 5

sour nexus
#

Just seen interz playing for C9 instead of Hobbit and went like yvesgowonwhat but Hobbit just having eye problems

sour nexus
#

poor swisher

#

also why do I have a really bad feeling the stickers will drop tonight when I'm asleep...

wintry skiff
#

he sleep?

#

dump it

#

where are the stickers

deep plank
#

innovating final CSGO major by releasing nothing

runic fog
#

theyll be released def

#

cause ropz already confirmed it

deep plank
#

I saw a pro (I think it was broky) tweet then delete something about Paris stickers a day or two ago

#

fun to meme about it though

wintry skiff
#

Jake Lucky as host?

sour nexus
#

mahone as the... what?

sour nexus
wintry skiff

i have no idea what it is

I hope so, Weatherman is a weird term tho

deep plank
#

not sure if there’s a title for it, but weatherman would not have been my choice

#

I wanna know who the observers are though

wintry skiff
#

ATK is basically the Reck and Swisher show (reck isnt even signed/ only as "standin")

#

since boden is now playing from sweden

wintry skiff
#

stickers are out

deep plank
#

MY BELOVED

marsh ivy
#

ropz sticker is actually fire

sour nexus
#

Clean stickers sad

#

I should've just sold my old stickers, they dropped down in price a lot since Paris stickers yvessob

#

anyways somehow did +60€ with all my stickers

wintry skiff
#

Time to buy as many capsule/sticker case thing

#

And hold

sour nexus
#

I will wait until they are on sale actually

#

Pick'Ems are so difficult now that "tier 2" teams can actually do a lot of damage...

deep plank
#

Challengers stage is gonna be a bloodbath, no one’s safe

sour nexus
#

There are like only two to three absolute favorites that will go through (G2, FaZe and Mouz) but even those two can get slapped the fuck out of the Challenger Stage 0-3

#

It feels almost impossible to get a Diamond Coin this time yvessob

#

Those are my pick'ems, but I might change one or two teams again minjifrustrated

deep plank
#

looks pretty solid, I can see anyone here choking though

sour nexus
#

ye same, its just super hard to predict

#

I actually changed my 3-0 pick to Monte, if they beat FaZe they will surely go 3-0

wintry skiff
#

"The 25-year-old and his teammates have been free agents since February 28 after their contracts with the South African organization expired"

#

oh

#

in 4h30

#

i dont mind either team winning

#

i like both teams

sour nexus
#

djay got removed from ATK aswell ???

wintry skiff
#

expected

#

he used to be able to avr 1.05+

#

now its 0.95 at best

sour nexus
#

as expected with kenny, could've stayed in G2 tho

sour nexus
wintry skiff
#

nope

wintry skiff
marsh ivy
#

havent done a pickem in years but may as well do the last csgo one

#

is it still best to just go on the market to get individual stickers instead of opening capsules?

#

oh wait its a pass now lol

marsh ivy
#

not watching much cs in ages and just looking at hltv will probably backfire

#

have to rep gh tho

deep plank
#

originally had monte going through too, but no coach has me shaky on them now

sour nexus
#

could be an issue, definitly

wintry skiff
#

i can see a team like nouns, strife or atk (if they fix their issues) getting him

wintry skiff
#

I see a lot of information floating around regarding salaries in CS, especially around Tier 2-4.

So I wanna do an experiment to see what people think, and if it matches the reality

What do YOU think a player in CPH Flames received in salary per month (top 25-40 team)

#

thank u faze for clutching up, pickems still on

wintry skiff
#

warmup game

sour nexus
#

rain popping of at the major again, love to see that hyunface

#

Also wtf is going on with Eternal Fire, they are worse than EG and OG in their own way tho oliviakek

#

4/5 of the lineup is the same again like ??? get ur shit together

wintry skiff
#

co owners

sour nexus
#

they are founding members, yes

#

but like 19 changes within 12 months including the same players getting benched/kicked and joining again

wintry skiff
#

trying to compete with -chrisj +chrisj

sour nexus
#

or -olof +olof ChoerryNervous

wintry skiff
#

at least faze got their shit together after

#

well their cs division

sour nexus
#

I fucking love Twistzz

#

but he got a point tho

wintry skiff
sour nexus
#

what da sloth doing hyunjineyes

wintry skiff
#

the more i watch TL

#

the more i think yekindar isnt the answer

sour nexus
#

Yekindar is basically playing Elige and nitr0 roles and taking away the space from oSee

wintry skiff
#

guess when yekindar joined the team

#

the meta nowadays

#

is playing around your awper or at least make him your 2nd option

sour nexus
#

they basically be like nitr0 go decoy, elige yekindar go frag

wintry skiff
#

might as well take mantuu

#

as a rifler

#

hybrid maybe

sour nexus
#

they need a supportive player in the team, who might be a supportive caller aswell (but not like Yekindar)

wintry skiff
#

stewie/rush winterevilsmile

#

old boys club time

sour nexus
#

if stewie would get his shit together and just be the 2nd caller he always has been

#

but wasnt he like an aggro player aswell? i dont remember him at any point being a bit more passive

wintry skiff
#

its been so long

#

i dont remember

sour nexus
#

he was the arT back in the day

wintry skiff
#

i dont even think

#

we have an upcoming support na player rn

#

or igl

#

ngl

#

osee's rifle

#

is kinda good

sour nexus
#

absolutely

#

Apeks feeling so desperate right now with those Rush calls...

#

...nvm

wintry skiff
#

COL won their game

sour nexus
#

poggers

wintry skiff
#

so im not full tilt rn

sour nexus
#

atleast one NA team going 1-0

#

I'm happy for Apeks

wintry skiff
#

Jkaem is NA

sour nexus
#

whole Renegades team was NA

#

so yea you got a point

#

oh wait wrong timeline

wintry skiff
#

TL win condition used to be Osee above 1.1 KD

#

its over

sour nexus
#

looking at Elige and oSee they should've won for sure

#

for NAF its his worst rating since the 2-16 loss against Mouz back at the Rio major, but that was a 2-16 not a full mapper

wintry skiff
#

losing the 2nd round vs pistols really bit them in the end

#

5v3

#

iirc

sour nexus
#

yea

wintry skiff
#

i'll take COL winning

#

over TL winning

#

COL is NA's future

#

the new gen

#

its Fang era now

#

not overreacting

marsh ivy
#

what the fuck

#

i stopped watching at 12-3

#

ytb

wintry skiff
#

its NA + OCE + SA era now

sour nexus

sour nexus
wintry skiff
#

tbh if you still fall for the Grayhound 0-3 pick in 2023

#

you kinda deserve it

sour nexus
#

i dont do either grayhound nor mongolz as 0-3

#

they always get one win

marsh ivy
#

yeah gh, rng, 100t always have

sour nexus
#

except for Antwerp but we dont talk about that DubuShush

#

Liquid vs forZe and CoL vs. G2 next

wintry skiff
#

it was a good major for NA

#

gimme NIP vs TL

#

battle of the underwhelming results

wintry skiff
#

ence cooking

#

TL vs Forze

#

its over

deep plank
#

what is g2 doing not have guns twice today

sour nexus
#

whats going on with CoL CT side on Inferno HUH

#

last time it looked that bad they changed positions, like did they do it again or is g2 just having a great day?

#

nvm how did I not see m0nEZy going 34-9 hyunjineyes

covert palm
#

G2 still smashing

#

Their T side is

#

Amazing like shit

#

Damn

sour nexus
#

"Why is Grayhound playing the Major again?"
"umm... just to fuck your pick'ems"

deep plank
#

they got the job done first game

#

but Jesus

deep plank
#

I love the mongols

#

what a way to end the match

sour nexus
#

liquid building some economy and nitr0 decides to buy mac-10 against a full buy HUH

sour nexus
#

also did I just read "ace with dualies" chuupog

deep plank
#

yes

#

techno knifed to help close out inferno

#

only listening to matches rn since I’m at work, but broadcast was hollering

sour nexus
#

so basically like karrigan's knife kill to get into the major grand final?

deep plank
#

pretty much

#

Mongols 0-3 choosers in shambles rn

sour nexus
#

I never pick an asian or SEA team as 0-3, they are the ones that are definitly winning one map

#

like they made so many major appearances the last few years

deep plank
#

IHC core have been looking good for awhile, no idea why people kept picking them for 0-3

thorn flint
marsh ivy
#

my goats

thorn flint
#

anyone who had them 0-3 didn't believe

marsh ivy
#

gonna be 2-1 shortly too Peepo_Pray

runic fog
#

if liquid gonna go 0-3 against fluxo

#

mannn

marsh ivy
#

ytbytbytb

wintry skiff
#

i dont understand

#

pain and the COL core "extra salt" were literally equals throughout 2021-22

runic fog
#

pain easy pickem

marsh ivy
#

ins is fucking

#

my goats

runic fog
#

bro

#

i take out forze from my pickem, and now they win against monte who are in my pickem

sour nexus
#

i expected FaZe vs G2, but it seems like we got FaZe v Ence and G2 v Apeks

#

but Liquid vs Fluxo is really toying my pickems

#

if Fluxo wins, i lose 2 pickems instantly, so I am definitly rooting for Liquid 100% and watching that game

wintry skiff
#

Im gonna nap

#

I cant watch tl anymore

marsh ivy
#

dont fuck with my 3-0 pickem now faze

deep plank
#

MOUZ sadge

sour nexus
#

...and I said MOUZ is the 100% safe pick yvessob

#

anyone wanna watch party the Liquid game in voice (or any game the next days) ?

wintry skiff
#

My doctor told me to stop watching na cs since its not good for my heart

wintry skiff
sour nexus
#

now I can truely understand how NA fans must be feeling

#

like at the end i was at a point like "okay fluxo pls end this, fuck my pickems but make it end quick pls"

#

but in the end, liquid has won and i am truely happy about it. just 2 more to go

deep plank
#

being a TL fan is gonna lead to a heart attack

sour nexus
#

atleast the major grand final that is on a sunday we all can watch ChoerryNervous

sour nexus
wintry skiff
sour nexus
#

He's right tho

#

CS needs to be a fully open circuit

#

There are so many teams that can do damage but simply can't play big tournaments because they are no partner, meanwhile look at what EG did for the last years

wintry skiff
#

i need a csgo manager game

#

like FM

#

NA players about to have -5 / 20 in mental stats

#

strife back to back games today

marsh ivy
#

faze may have shit the bed but at least i got my fluxo 0-3

sour nexus
#

I'm rather surprised that FaZe went 2-0 at first

sour nexus
wintry skiff
sour nexus
#

nvm oliviakek

#

i am definitly blind, sorry

wintry skiff
#

But ye

#

NA needs more people like stan

#

Doesnt have to be igls

#

But leaders

#

Outside the server

#

Also about that trust part and not changing the roster

#

All the best t2 teams in NA have made changes in 2023

#

Including PA +cxzi and chop when they got dropped and momo & jonji took a break

sour nexus
#

i think one of the best examples today is Gambit Youngsters/Cloud9, they were playing together since late 2020 up until this year with the same lineup, and they made it kind of work

#

and I cannot think of any other team that has the exact same lineup for atleast one and a half year since Covid except for FaZe & Furia

wintry skiff
haughty bridge
#

literally every cs player i met

deep plank
#

no more baiting? maybe my MM teammates will finally play right

wintry skiff
#

trolling?

#

its over

#

i am finished

deep plank
#

I hope they’re not super strict about this stuff, I like shooting the shit with people in CS

wintry skiff
#

?????????????

sour nexus
#

I was about to say their T sides look a lot like Jame calling but with worse players in that case

#

Like in the game against Fluxo, especially on Nuke, it looked 10/10 like the VP playstyle but in worse

wintry skiff
#

So they had a 2 week bootcamo

#

With yekindar as igl

#

Thats not enough

#

For a major

sour nexus
#

absolutely not

wintry skiff
#

Nitro only missed 5-7 days of scrims

sour nexus
#

"only" bro that is a full week oliviakek

wintry skiff
#

It would be one thing if nitr0 arrived with 2-3 days left

#

But still

#

You have a coach

#

And analysts

#

Who could help nitr0 catch up

sour nexus
#

it makes sense for Yekindar to be the main igl for the time nitr0 isnt there, but afterwards you should switch back 100%

#

but what I dont like to see is that Yekindar and nitr0 still have different visions of the game and you can clearly see that in their calling

sour nexus
#

lets gooo i got 5 correct pickems for challenger stage aSanaParty

deep plank
#

hell yeah

#

I think I did too, but I gotta check when I’m home

marsh ivy
#

I need forze to win to get 5

marsh ivy
#

forze you bots

#

guess i have to rely on monte then

wintry skiff
#

cant wait to pick mid and get 5 bazooka'd

marsh ivy
#

monte saving my pickem LETSGO

wintry skiff
sour nexus
#

My pick'ems will be: (no image atm because valve no update)

3-0 Bad News Eagles (i dont care about 3-0 pick at all)
G2, FaZe, Vitality, NaVi, Furia, Heroic, Apeks, Ence/9ine qualify
0-3 either Liquid or Into the Breach

#

Still thinking about my last qualify pick and my 0-3, need to check the possible brackets for that tho

wintry skiff
#

Into The Breach 3-0

sour nexus
#

naah, i dont believe in the brits

#

BNE > ITB

marsh ivy
#

we are going to the promise land

wintry skiff
#

g2 as 3-0

marsh ivy
#

trust in jks

deep plank
#

j karry s

#

g2 v. vitality first match though, could go either way

sour nexus
#

G2 will go through but not 3-0

wintry skiff
#

starting off vs Zywoo in Paris

#

Zywoo will drop 2.0 rating minimum

#

every game

sour nexus
#

Zywoo is starting his villain arc this major

#

from a humble "idk i just like to play" guy to a s1mple type of player oliviakek

wintry skiff
#

least balanced team

sour nexus
#

hoping for the best oliviapray

deep plank
sour nexus
#

oh my lord Monte is playing ECL today aswell

#

they just dont want to stop the grind

#

Apeks vs 9ine was postponed tho because of the major

deep plank
#

jesus, surprised they don't get burnt out

wintry skiff
#

gotta stay sharp for the major

sour nexus
#

i mean their coach and analyst will do most of the prep for tomorrow

#

and it is surely better to improve in officials rather than praccs

wintry skiff

NA next "big" talents looking good (slight 1.27 / freshie 1.25 / clasia 1.19)

F for drop

F for art if furia takes pain igl (unlikely)

Furia recently changed their T side but that is looking really bad at the moment

sour nexus

oh no, there might be a good chance that if G2 and FaZe win their games, they will face each other... yvkms

Depends on other matches I think

#

Banger for elimation though

#

Though we would get that in the playoff stage

But nope it's fighting for elim in legends hyunface

goes so hard

wintry skiff
#

got bored so i made 7 "solid" teams with NA only players with chemistry and fit in mind :
nitr0 (igl) - naf - twistzz (awp) - elige - autimatic / daps (coach) - T1 - (25.2)
cynic (igl) - grim - osee (awp) - fang - floppy / semphis (coach) - T1 - (22.4)
walco (igl) - jeorge - junior (awp) - bwills - rush / axed (coach) - T1.5 - (22.8)
stamina (igl) - clasia - slight (awp) - reck - d4rty / becker (coach) - T1.5 - (20.0)
ben (igl) - swisher - pwn (awp) - jonji - motm / muenster (coach) - T2 - (25.4)
micro (igl) - freshie - cxzi (awp) - viz - marke / shakezullah (coach) - T2 - (21.8)
wolfy (igl) - brehze - wiz (awp) - hext - chop / madcow (coach) - T2 - (22.4)

F/A : cj - Nosrac - brett - cryptic - infinite - momo

Hoping he wins the first or second CS2 major (kinda hoping 1st one goes to Heroic on danish (home-)ground)

wintry skiff
#

crazy that out of the boston faze roster that niko and guardian were the ones who wouldnt win one

sour nexus
#

not only that but NiKo was in 2 major grand finals, he was so fucking close to getting one

#

and with Guardian, his biggest mistake was re-signing with Navi again when they were having s1mple slowly getting his peak on the AWP. On the other hand tho, I just don't know which team he could've joined at that time

wintry skiff
#

cloud9

sour nexus
#

i mean...

#

tbh that would've been the best option

wintry skiff
#

fnatic?

sour nexus
#

even considering that he can speak russian, still there was no top team needing an AWPer

sour nexus
#

Mouz had w0xic, G2 had kennyS, EG/NRG had Cerq at his peak

#

if we go CIS, VP had Jame, Navi had s1mple

#

Complexity could've been an option aswell

wintry skiff
#

meh

#

they were in their pre-juggernaut days with shazam

#

konfig - blamef - rush - obo - guardian

#

kinda cool tho

sour nexus
#

and I would consider Guardian > poizon with all that shit poizon went through

#

poizon was basically the olofmeister of CoL

impressive results for sdy (as igl) with "minimal" prep time

waxen grail

yeah monte have done really well

what igls could navi even get

monte changed igl before major -> playoffs
tl changed igl before major -> playoffs

waxen grail
#

jerry seems like he'll never leave forze

wintry skiff

i dont think they would get him anyways
