they wanted FalleN to IGL but changed to arT after a month

they didn’t even fully commit to fallen igl tho
they did that weird split igl thing that never works
sour nexus
if they wanna keep arT's playstyle, good luck finding consistent results with inconsistent players
waxen grail
it’s not even like big where they tried s1n igl to develop into it
sour nexus
also for arT's style to work, they actually need an mechanically strong and aggressive AWPer
which, in the BR scene, is only HEN1 from what I've seen, and its been a few years when he was good
unless they find a brazilian donk
its just confusing what they are doing at the moment
waxen grail
if they wanna keep arT's playstyle, good luck finding consistent results with in...
i was gonna say
donk fits it perfectly
donk and art would have a competition of who can whole W down harder
sour nexus
get the old Yekindar aswell
get two decent slow paced players with them both being decent anchors
sour nexus
they get too greedy and want leadership because they think they know everything
and then they go suckie performance
its still so insane to me that bl4d3 wanted electronic to IGL, if I was a coach, I would NEVER let my star rifler start IGL'ing, and we were talking electronic, easily one of the top 3 riflers of CS
I would've said "you can do that in 5 years when you've hit your peak and slowly getting washed, then go IGL"
sour nexus
CIS is most developed region
they shouldve gotten a decent T2 igl and trusted him
look at siuhy, he came up from the academy league and is currently one of the better IGLs in tier 1
waxen grail
its still so insane to me that bl4d3 wanted electronic to IGL, if I was a coach,...
idk who else they wouldve had igl is the issue
i guess in hindsight sdy couldve
waxen grail
would navi have signed a russian igl?
sour nexus
but siuhy is polish
it was an overall example of T2 igls going T1
waxen grail
or would they have to signed a ukrainian one
wintry skiff
oh
sour nexus
they couldve gotten nealaN
waxen grail
oh right
waxen grail
yeah nealan wouldve worked

i dont think they can afford getting a russian igl/player
navi? rn yeah ofc
but i mean when they made elec igl
like idk what ukrainian igls are out there
or russian speaking other than nealan
sour nexus
like idk what ukrainian igls are out there
they had a full ukranian NaVi Junior squad + m0nesy
there should've been an IGL for sure
sour nexus
actually even two since fear got benched and they added new one
sour nexus
and with bl4d3 having everything as one structure, the IGL should've fit the main team aswell
but after his departure they had full ukranian + m0nesy no?
sour nexus
they could've tried to poach chopper from spirit
waxen grail
yeah chopper or jerry wouldve been my picks
if you were signing a russian player from a russian org

fear ukranian tho?
waxen grail
only ukrainian on spirit is zont1x afaik

flamie in the academy league

theres no way that

basically the only two ukranian IGLs that I could find were sdy and fear
sour nexus
I think they changed back to Woro IGL
sour nexus
they were actually decent until recently
waxen grail
yeah they looked fine
the last game i saw of them they looked tilted off the face of the earth
sour nexus
the most experienced is their coach tho
waxen grail
and nafany didn’t help whatsoever
sour nexus
he was a malder back in C9 aswell
sour nexus
kairon has been solid, still wished he joined BIG (Academy) instead of VP
even tho we have decent players now, it just needs to click
waxen grail
he speaks german right?
sour nexus
ye
waxen grail
would’ve been a good move
sour nexus
he got an offer and wanted to join, but declined when VP approached him
waxen grail
he’s so clearly not a vp player style wise
sour nexus
he could've replaced Yekindar, but that was too late when they had FL1T and fame to do that
sour nexus
isnt he the sanji currently?
waxen grail
is he?
hmm maybe
i don’t remember if sanji had the games where he just
top fragged and went crazy

well, then idk
I am seeing a HLTV forum post about the map veto tomorrow, we definitly going to see Vertigo tomorrow
sour nexus
Spirit didnt play it for a long time, karrigan likes to go crazy in vetoes in those moments
waxen grail
that seems like a karrigan play
sour nexus
that was a good move
mir was one of the best talents back then, sadly didnt had the right attitude
waxen grail
yeah
now he seems to have fixed it
even though hes older now and a bit worse than he was
waxen grail
possibly a mix of age and less lone-wolf style play since hes on vp
oh wow rain's older than mir
oh wow mir was on chopper's vega
i forgot about that
sour nexus
mir is 28 ??????
waxen grail
yeah
unfortunate
thinking about it
having 28 year old mir as either your worst or 2nd worst rifler is pretty good
wintry skiff
waxen grail
if NIP could say the same with REZ and k0nfig in that position
or brollan based on his form now
LOL
sour nexus
first time he is performing again after krieg nerf
going back to the game tomorrow, I'm curious if FaZe will ban Mirage
Spirit has a 100% win rate across 11 maps on Mirage

if Mirage stays, it will be atleast a four mapper

zontix is pretty good ngl

They both have the highest big event rating with 1.70, but NiKo's was way back in 2017 with lesser competition and fewer maps
But what an incredible performance from donk. If he can keep this form throughout the year without falling off, huge respect

Nip derailed headtrick career
Changed his role
And made him play in mid rosters
sour nexus
they thought headtrick was the new m0nesy only cuz he picked up AWP after he left
but you could see he only does Jame time without the Jame part
bigger bait than blameF
Now we can guess who they get. As for an AWPer, I don't think s1mple wants to join that dumpster fire, so I guess either mantuu or degster (where has he been actually?)
If we talk any other roles, I have absolutely no clue
I don't know if jks would join too, especially with THREAT mentioning that REZ will be their new lurker. Other names that I can think of at the moment are FASHR and interz, both were performing decent in their last teams actually
wintry skiff
jks come to nrg
hes gonna miss the copenhagen major anyways
might as well start meshing with new teammates now

maybe rmr?
and PA added walco a week ago
i guess we might see something happening if they dont qualify for Dallas
or even the closed qualifier

NRG got invited to RMR in place of Rocket
And also no Astralis at the Major??? What is this
Well actually they still have the LCQ but idk if they can get out there
But happy for gla1ve and ENCE that it works out at the moment

stavn and jabbi downfall W
sour nexus
he just sucks in big games, doesnt matter the IGL
I hope once they get ruggah, they can improve a little bit
This roster is on paper a top 5 team, so I expect them to perform in the 2nd half of the year
waxen grail
i still don’t know if blame is a good igl
but stavn in big games never works
it’s a weird statement to say but
if you removed stavn and got like
hooxi to igl
the team might better
LOL
sour nexus
would mean -blameF or -jabbi tho
and I would keep both of them
but idk if blameF wants to stay in the pack once he doesnt IGL anymore, like he can frag and it can definitly work
keeping Staehr and jabbi on the extremities and putting gla1ve back in as entry + IGL
waxen grail
i agree it would make more sense
wintry skiff
All im hearing is that blamef needs NA to win

even china has imports

We need players to put more efforts in promos/interviews to create narratives/create interests

Teach em to do wwe/wrestling promos
Imagine s1mple with wwe like interviews/promos
With a ‘’S1mple is and will stay the best at cs’’ angle aimed at zywoo and donk (maybe monesy too)
Or if stabbi embraced their ‘’villain arc’’ and starts bantering with fans/crowd

what a champ

interesting to see how teams started to play specifically against donk
it has been only on Vertigo so far, but if you see what you can do on Vertigo alone already, maybe some smart brains out there are able to find something against him on other maps aswell
how tf does GE or GL need to play two games in the LCQ while 9 Panda only needs to play one?? How did they sort this one out?

Maybe due to who they had to face in the group stage?
Whateverthe ranking is called
sour nexus
just looked back at Paris major, its also very weird
wintry skiff
Buchholz ranking yeah
sour nexus
the only similarity I could find is that both 9Pandas and FaZe back in Paris were like in the middle with the results, thus the worst and best time from the LCQ battling it out for the 1st place decider
oh yea true its buchholz

He is on trial, not stand-in
Falcons having no events 'til after major I think
And sdy wouldnt fit them I think, they need a star rifler

Most unexpected roster move of CS2 so far
ah yes, back to navi
or could replace keoz on GL
which would kinda work
sour nexus
BLEED might be benching Cypher, VLDN currently standing in for them
