that part in red tho 
donk got nikoed
lol
even more so that on ancient m0nesy didnt really do much
last in rating over the 3 maps lol
im more suprised g2 picked mirage and won too after not touching it for so long
even though their players are mirage players
and losing on nuke
shouldve ended in 2 tbh
also jame masterclass against vit
+29 1.47
Mongolz picking nuke against Furia was so bad
Why did they ban their inferno which they almost beat G2 and another good team on??
karrigan rolling back the years
What is going on
highest rated player in that mirage game
holy shit
last time i checked score
it was 2-0
now its
9-3???
i expected malbs to be good
but snax fragging has been ncie
like idw to stay it
say * it as a
delulu g2 fan
but it looks real tbh
literally just hands diffing vp LOL
norbert's not doing anything
i like this g2 team a lot
shame theyre playing my fav team rn or else id be happy that theyre winning
LOL
HAHA
like malbs fragging
im not suprised
he was good in m90
but what im surprised is
less stupid mistakes
and less like over complex stuff and doubting themselves
g2s raw talent can easily hands diff people and thats what theyre doing
doesnt have to be too complicated
yeah it just works
and i like it
HOLY
SHTI
MONESY
UR A PSYCHOPATH
WHAT A ROUND
3 take aways
- G2 looks real they are demolishing teams
- Niko looks peak Niko back
- G2 might be good on every map i think bar vertigo
cause vertigo sucks
They still need to prove it for me during the season, it just started and they have honeymoon
Lets wait for after cologne and then Shanghai major
I play faceit solo queue for once without having premium anymore, I hate it
worse than matchmaking
Slept when g2 was 1-0 woke up to navi 2-1 xdd
very g2
though still looks interesting
if this carries over to blast
i will have hope
Already saw that roster a few days ago searching for praccs 
Nice to see some more german players in an organisation, even tho I dont know any of them
wait this is sick
BIG in groups confirmed 
TIL talon is apparently picking up a team with azr in it
just read through the report, even tho its been like 2 months old, so idk if anything changed
Twistzz interview about the Liquid rebuild coming soon, and mithR dropped in an interview that jks got a few new roles
I expected NAF to get a few of the other roles, but it seems like jks is doing them now
@wintry skiff @sour nexus complexity gotta make changes man, sAw is outfragging grim and floppy
LOL
Perseverance Gaming has been disqualified from ESL Challenger League Season 48, and the players have been suspended from all EFG competitions for two months.
Official Statement: https://t.co/EW8AM5LDAe
guys, NA CS is saved
shutout allegedly forged a text message from his "power company" to force a reschedule.
lmfao
Bruh.
Allegedly one of them dropped out of School to pursue CS as a career
Probably CojoMo
Already saw a few videos by him being recommended on youtube
He does stream most of the time and seems pretty young
he did have a college scholarship with Davenport
i meant like high school level dropout
oh then idk
this ultimate guy looks interesting
also Yekindar back in form on T, hope its not just a single map 
TL awper being last on the scoreboard
well yes
this goes against my narrative i will ignore it


except s1mple and slaxz
but can we talk about jks for a moment? left the game for half a year and comes back with being top of scoreboard
honeymoon period
i love seeing a german being side by side to the goat when talking about skill

at what cost
sloth is slothing around
the one time i have naf and twistzz on hltv fantasy
bring our canadian boys to a good EU team
not a budget wannabe jame who lost all his skill and a tier 2 somebody
tbf if jks is playing more aggressive roles like he is doing now and keep up with it
put him in faze with twistzz, i miss the good faze
people forgot he was the renegades/100t star player
after years of support/anchor roles
jks inplace of rain, Twistzz in place of frozen (or karrigan and him to coach if we are thinking future proof)
bro this guy hits more with a rifle than with an AWP
why did he AWP for the whole CT side??
bro how did norbert get so many frags suddenly? like I dont even notice him

idk man
i truly became invested in the scene
around march 2020
yes the worst time to do it
me too
Chaos EC
okay maybe december 2019
katowice going online during playoffs
that was a tilter
MOUZ was easy a top 3 team and they got denied everything
i have more memories of Bad News Bears - Party Astronauts - Extra Salt - Pain - Team One - Godsent
then TL - Complexity
TL with Stewie and FalleN was funny
"die for me dude"

bro
you are not karrigan
why you do the rush A strat in the last round like he does
the only team in NA that will have success
is m80
because they have sins and slaxz
eu igl and awp
yes
literally what NA needs
nah
we'll get another upcoming eu igl

i believe in m80 scouting
its not even just in CS too
their org in general are pretty good at scouting
i dont even know tier 2 igls
except for jerry
but he is gone
idk
Mouz NXT is the new NaVi junior
didnt we say the same thing about bad news bears back then? or PA before they got picked up by EG?
but yea lets hope it works out this time around
wait, jame can actually whiff?
now ultimate picks up the AWP again
if he is not performing with AWP he should keep rifling
bring him back to EU
when OG or NIP are doing another rebuild
why does NAF keep fighting
liquid choking again
i cant do this
he wants to get his so he can say he did his job
i wont continue watching after ancient
i will open hltv tomorrow and start my day with some bad news
a bit too late
he has arrived
the sloth woke up
BIG disappointed me enough today
TL should do this now
Otherwise I'm going out with 1 out of 3
benching s1n will be your scene what if
for years
If this BIG lineup doesnt work
The last chance is +s1n +slaxz and put tabseN on coach if he wants to
Otherwise, our scene is dead
We got the best of who we thought were the best
Now its time to show that they actually are
And with the germans performing over in M80, it looks pretty bad for BIG
Because no more BIG Academy in the rankings, Attax doesnt get high in the rankings aswell
Rank 97
Yes, we got a new one but no support by ESL or whoever
dach cs masters ?
They won the season but its always against the same teams, and they can't do anything in tier 2 like Sprout did back then
Yes
Sadly it exists
They shouldve waited for another year
im not gonna lie
i would rather have the money spent to host the offline grand final to go to the prizepool
even the mythic x col tournament circuit has more prizepool
unironically Ohnepixel should try to do that
collab with big or whatever org
probably didnt cost that much tbh, the location is one of two big lan centers in germany, and I think they partnered up for the playoffs to happen?
The issue is, they should've waited with the season for another year. We got a lot of toxic people ruining the higher ranks in our region, or having too much of an ego that no organization is interested in paying those players

If they would've waited, those people would've slowly sorted themselves out
And a lot of peeps here in DACH region feel the same way about it
like the NA old guard when covid hit
Luckily with esports getting more recognition even by our politicans, maybe CS has a chance to rise again
But its far from optimal
yea true
but i hope it means more events for grassroot
The issue is, there are so much less people watching tier 2 games
and TOs kinda need to be profitable, which cant happen in an environment like this

but idk man
events with 1k-5k prizepool should be easier
for organizers
the NA mythic cup did reach 16k viewers
tbf big streamers need to do more
or rather should do anything like that
even if its charity, invite a few big names like olof and forest, and put them in a group against a few tier 2 teams
that’s what big norb does
honestly i don’t see nip doing one anytime soon
just woke up seeing Liquid stomped them on the second one, love it
true tho
maybe not this year, but maybe next one
I mean he had to play with chad
That's more training than any official
true
we slowly getting the old Yekindar back
just entrying like a beast
having the utility support behind him
is twistzz the greatest igl alive

mighjt be controversial
but ultimate kinda reminds me of hallzerk
in terms of it's big multi or whiff
exactly
might be the "first big lan" nerves tho
i think he switched pc with yekindar
is it that time of the day again...?
nope
yeah
malbs
faze in a slump
G2 shat on faze in maps 2 and 3
3 was just team dif ig
2 was malbs.
Didn't expect him to pop off like that as the ramp player too
But yeah ropz is in a giga slump tbh
Abit unlucky tbf on the T side on nuke
its official https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MxliQTO2sbE

mhL aussie AWPer confirmed
jL's making R8 look cool again 😎
💖 30 🔁 1
this legend casually sh1tting on my german boys
love and hate to see that at the same time
also forgot to watch FaZe vs NIP, idk what happened that they threw both maps. Hope they can fix their issues, want to see them in cologne later this month
degster not playing for Heroic again, what a meme...
he must’ve just not moved to serbia with spirit to have all these visa issues
also, i’ve seen the light ultimate might be the real deal
naur
need at least two top 10 teams to be considered back
complexity isnt
col and tl cannot be good at the same time
thats the only way for an NA team to work
you need 2 europeans/not NA
at awp and igl usually
lmao
The tentative list of teams invited to the Shanghai Major RMRs and its qualifiers is now known.
interesting, Imperial fe could've been the first and only female team to be invited to an RMR closed qualifier directly
didnt expect this, when F1 x CS collab? 
cadian rifle will be generational

bro
Spirit vs. G2 is something that I want to watch in the arena next week, not tomorrow at home
what the duck
mongolian and portuguese counter strike will now reign supreme
mongolz winning the shanghai major
I want Mongolz to make it to the arena now
same
i love cs
g2 loses 2-0 to saw pretty badly
esp on nuke
smashes spirit on nuke their map pick
otw to smashing spirit on mirage
13-1 on mirage
holy shit
im watching g2 play league too and that series isnt even over even though it started first lol
what the hell
https://x.com/ScrawnyCG/status/1822700435586560202
I saw this one and was like "wait Snax is standing in for G2???"
but I forgot he is their actual 5th player and IGL 
Just watched the pre-game interview, zontix looks flippin dead
like mentally broken
ofcourse they couldnt perform at all if there is something going on
donk as per usual doing his best to hype everyone on his team up
Yea smth isn't right
And its barely just the start to the new season
They're gonna be screwed for the major lol
the rmr invites cutoff happened last week tho
oh yeah
theyre in EU group B
Will they get out though
At this rate they're gonna bottom out
Astralis and VP maybe
only need to place 7th out of 16th
Falcons and Heroic if they finally get degster to play might he tough too
group A
rmr arent in EU so degster might have a chance
to play without any delay
How is EU group A so much more stacked than group B
okay tbf group B has more overall decent teams than group A, but still
idk about vp
sadly, electronic is ruining my favorite team
everything just looks off
Well...
Not james team anymore
With the players they had and not really winning anything except for the fluke major, changes are needed
Perfecto is inevitable
if Spirit doesnt work out during the major, I hope to see +Perfecto
before VP tries to get him if they even want to

ESL doing a good job again with making content, I need more of this series
idk why vp wouldn’t go for him apart from money issues if they spent too much on elec
they don’t really have an anchor unless we’re saying that’s norbert’s job
and even then, fame has looked kinda out of sorts in this team
with that being said, vp looked this bad, if not worse, going into the major they won
so i will hope it happens again
Wth am I watching
After g2 lose to saw they are going never again
11-1 half on dust wouldve been 12 if not for devi heroics
13-1
SIGNED A TEAM FOR THE SHANGHAI MAJOR
🇺🇦 @Woro2k (IGL)
🇫🇷🇲🇦 @hAdjiCSGO
🇮🇱 @meztalCS
🇮🇱 @amsalemcs
🇺🇦 @Kvem_csgo
🇩🇪 @ohnePixel (COACH)
@sour nexus @waxen grail @covert palm
wdym shanghai major, are there still open quals or what?
okay in theory he can play the Middle East open Qualifier with this team, 2 israeli players
for the Asia-ME rmr yes
LMFAOOOOOO
ohne in the back coaching them vs mongolz will be hilarious
altho
tyloo could beat them
Oh yea he did lol
Malbs is cooking his so good
Wonder what he would even say in the time out 😭😭😭
Ultimate on Nuke looks like m0nesy rn
what is ohne gonna tell hadji and woro about pro cs LOL
prolly the brand building part of being pro
which a lot of players dont care about
but still important since job security is basically inexistant if youre not in a top 10 team
ok thats fair
i meant as a coach in-game LOL
"open a case mid round brother"
"if you get titan holo we dont need to even play the game"
we opened a titan holo, we won the event no matter what
next signing will be nexa
if he leaves/gets dropped from bleed eventually
dona assistant coach
wait
monte are just
all polish apart from demqq
they kicked styko
LOL
Yeap
Looks like stykos taking a break from pro
After that
tbf he did prepare his post pro player career pretty well
via his youtube
and other works
Wew 25 sold on the Demo review
This series is crazy
Energizing win for (any team playing against Falcons). You really hope to see (any team playing against Falcons) have strong showings, especially against opposition like this. Again, it was a good match, and I’ll definitely continue to support (any team playing against Falcons) in the future. Fantastic game guys, gg gl next.
I wanted to see both Liquid and FaZe in the arena, but good showings from Liquid
I hope they can keep that trajectory where they are heading right now, it looks really good so far (except for the typical lulquid choking)
Zywoo is at the korean restaurant where me and my friends are right now 
He wants to eat good before the game in 2 days
Actually the whole team was here
@sour nexus @waxen grail @covert palm NA CS doesnt deserve support
A lot of trigger warning
Will read that later today or tomorrow
Actually, I might wait for austin or any other NA CS youtuber/streamer to make a video about it, thats toooo much text
PGL sound guy working for ESL 
HOLY SHIT
called the G0-2 before the game and here we go 
Holy shit
It's so g2 its crazy
After dust I knew we were losing this series lol
theyre definitely guilty of being racist
they got banned for a year by faceit/esea
for that
So many allegations some of them are bound to be true too
Yes, but oh boy the tilt on Mirage
Wheres there's smoke there's fire
Holy shit it was so bad
oh yes
But I loved the vibes in the crowd, all the G2 fans going silent
Shouldve just planned
Don't what the double fake plant was for
Tbh no one but m0nesy showed up today
I think he was alright still has to work on his anchoring
but yeah generally missing the rest of the team was
Yes, but his T side is on fire
Siuhy was running rings around them
snax still not the best igl
at this point you just keep hooxi
Idk man just let niko igl
Yea
Like I'm still confused about the hooxi
maybe gla1ve
G2 issues was nexa literally being a bot
I didnt like the way FaZe played today, too many executes and not getting the entries
Not hooxi not fragging
It was a completely different team somehiw
ence isn’t good but, neither is snax as an igl
they’ve swapped their calling no?
or like
their structure
Karrigan threw the playbook out the window and started to micro since cologne, he said in an interview
broky also was just way off this game
Yeap they switched structure since nothing was working
and frozen was kinda on and off
They wanna get the basics on their A game again
SAW looks good, all the players performing well
Please tyvm
I want my MOUZ in final
saw vs navi on nuke would be interesting
Nothing
Hooxi would be a good coach
hype them up and talk to them when he’s not allowed to
whoops that was to this
When MOUZ walked onto the stage, I told my friends this is the event where they will break their curse
I agree
They looked way more relaxed
I think saw mouz final
Mouz wins
All series goes to 3
i feel like
Both semis and finals
while we all say how good mouz is, very rarely does sycrone get any credit
also, we all agree device igl isn’t it right?
that is a team that unironically needs hooxi
I think its cause he's got to micro too much and for someone new to igling
Isn't working
Unironically yeah
Both Stavn and Jabbi fallen off a cliff since they've got no one to tell them what to do
stavn and jabbi fall of regardless of igl when there’s any pressure
the issue is who would you drop
Has to be
like ig br0 or staehr
Staehr right
but
But that sucks too
i feel like staehr has honestly been better than stavn and jabbi a lot of the time
like if we’re being in an ideal world, i think you might drop jabbi?
but
that isn’t happening
I think u drop stavn over jabbi
Feel like jabbi with a igl
Will peak higher
Lol ironically
Glave devi staehr bro jabbi
Pretty much LOL
would be better imo
Yeap
Can we just -stavn -jabbi and put in Hooxi and Magisk?
Oh that's a major winning team right there tbh
would devve really listen to cadiaN tho?
no
Might be tough thats why it's the crazy one
ngl Magisk is showing good form at the moment, put him in a team that performs well and he gets consistent again. And he is like 26 or so??
I'm more worried about jabbi and stavn back with cadian lol
snappi might be worse mechanically then hooxi rn
stabbi and cadiaN wouldnt work
They're the ones that wanted him out anyways
Still don't get why falcons isn't working tbh
yes, and idk how similar the old ENCE core was to the current Astralis role-wise
Dupreeh and Magisk
Because they never had a star AWPer back in ENCE
And you cant win games lol
sunpayus maybe was
at the end of last year
Yea he was on the trend
sunpayus inconsistent, maden idk what he is doing, Snappi and dupreeh be like karrigan and rain but worse
Is he even top 10 awps anymore now
maden looks horrible
if he would be consistent then yes
but there is the issue
yea
the fall off needs to be studied
sunpayus or 910
naah
martinez has been rly good idk
even mantuu would be a better AWPer
yea but two events as someone coming from t2 vs someone who played t1 for like 2 years now
so he's hybrid player?
Didn't know that either
he’s an awper now
Transition to full awp?
but apparently there’s like, 0 true awper in mongolia
Well then
like even mongolz/IHC past awos have been converted rifles
Sunpayus your Mongolian now
tbf since CS2 nobody wants to continue AWPing unless you are a very flashy one
but 910 is looking really good
get ready to learn mongolian buddy
oof
hallzerk because he has better players around him?
but like just a tiny bit over sunpayus
does he rly tho
okay hear me out
or is it just elige
It's just elige
sunpayus has the higher peak from both, but his floor is also much lower than hallzerk's I feel like
And the occasional
so it makes hallzerk more consistant than sunpapi
hallzerk i feel is the level of awp where like
Grim pop off
it’s hard to replace him well
Both been pretty ass tbf
oh yeah 100%
Like who do we even blame? 3 players for not performing, do we question the IGL and coach then?
CoL is such a confusing case
honestly i don’t
Yea
i think the igl and coach are both solid
i just think grim is just bad at this point, and floppy has weird roles and doesn’t play well
It's just the players going to shit or smth
but if the lineup never really wins anything after multiple player changes?
and also can’t really pay anyone
Ig it's time for col to find
maybe fix some role issues?
no like
not for the major
Oo woro over hallzerk?
ofcourse after the major
ohne team needs their igl
Roster lock is there
I think awp is the least of their issues
Perfecto also in C9 jail, even tho I want to see him at the major in a spirit jersey
When 2 of your rifles cant take space
yea, role issues it seems like
Pretty hard to play as an awp anyways
except replacing those issues means you don’t get to free qualify for major
oh yea perfecto your a spirit player
i have a fix for COL
goodbye zontix
+hen1 +lucas1
just buy m80's lineup
jk

true m80 + elige
If kscerato
but who gets replaced by elige tho
no one
Ever leaves
elige gets to be traded to TL or EU
Isn't his
he deserves it
furia is his sanctuary
imagine navi elige
Or next
no TL
he’ll sign extension
i dont want him there
gotta be with the boys
Pain
im telling ya
NaVi Elige would be funny
insani would help
Over jL?
NAF - Twistzz - Elige could win Grand Slams if theyre together
-iM imo
But they need to bring in s1mple for a season just so I can see both tilting each other

Bringing the bois back
he already has hallzerk it’s fine
lmao
reunite with nitr0
wasn’t this supposed to happen
Before nitr0
yeah
like with zorte
if he chooses the players, he has no rights to tilt over them
win/win situation
i can fix col
nitr0 is worse than olof with faze
+konfig
+blamef
exactly
You need buff guys again
- cadian
we go EU
only way it could be better is like
elige konfig niko simple jt
respect JT
and just let JT try to deal with the sheer tilting
i think he’s pretty good tbh
bruh
can we do a full tilt team?
simple apex niko device and either hallzerk or dupreeh
i dont think JT can deal with tilt
with how the current COL vibes are
needs to be hallzerk
but dupreeh and apex was a nice malding duo back in vita
he just punches the table after every death this tourney
absolutely
an actual igl and coach
What are JT roles on CT ?
idk exactly how good they are but
Like would he anchor?
it's okay
they’re undoubtedly better than snax and taz
G2 will figure it out
absolutely
@wintry skiff u know this one?
i like snax don’t get me wrong
But G2 needs a psychologist
nope
but he’s not g2 igl level
i stopped watching COL
LOL
I do too why
not good for blood pressure
Is he igl
maybe that girl from Astralis prior to Atlanta major
They weren't kidding when
JT might play Anchor roles for a player like malbs ngl
They said its someone we wouldn't expect
i would rather watch a no name na cs team in EPL than COL rn
I would do so too
new gl honestly could be solid
GL had nobodies
lots of talent
G2 has mayonaise, Niko, Niko cousin, and malbs
its like putting cadiaN in Liquid with more experienced players
oh wait
honestly
I hope it works
col should just say fuck it
But man
get one of the aussies
We shall see
nah flyquest has like
1
wait surely even dexter would’ve been better than snax
idc if he can’t use awpers, monesy does his thing
Hell
No igl
Mightve worked
Just let g2 have 5 man kill squad
And figure it out later
dexter doesnt know AWPers
it’s fine
he had acoR and torzsi
monesy doesn’t have to listen
he can just go in
also, man watching spirit is depressing
G2 needs a hypeman
everyone is just depressed except donk who’s trying to hype everyone up
idk what was going on, in the vlog everyone seemed happy unless zontixx
i’ve solved it
Holy shit
s1mple igl
Torzi post dexter
Like zontixx was mentally dead
torszi pre dexter and post dexter are the same
imagine simple igl’ing niko
thanks to siuhy and sycrone
Would work tbh
but man dexter didnt had AWPers back in aussie before his mouz stint
The call would literally be
Okay guys
We go A
We go kill
We take site
We win
mayonaise drop me awp you suck blyat
thats my kinda strats
but we lose
This take space
snax really just has the meme playbook
Info nonsense
everything is
Just shoot better bylat
someone go kill
Tbf hooxi did too
I mean thats CS in a nutshell
At least it was
Entry go kill
Calculated go kill
