I enjoy you pointing out the hypocrisy of the athletes and companies that will happily swallow their moral compasses to do business with the Saudis because the money is irresistible. Just don't go into any Saudi Embassies if invited.
When talking about organic engagement for the EWC, I had something pretty funny happen. I was playing some mobile game slop on my phone and had to watch an ad, and it was literally an EWC stream in a browser where I had to wait 30 seconds. It happened multiple times. So while it's not actually "viewbotting", it is paying for a viewer.
Consolidation of sports in USA has already been completed, making sports in the US an autocratic monopoly. Saudi Arabia is investing into esports and sports, they have the right to.
Didn't know much about linkedn before this video. But your description that it's facebook of twats seems about right considering you can apperantly choose your own font and dudes be picking comic sans thinking it's cool or something😂
NA CS never ceases to amaze me. You could almost make a reality TV show from all the drama. That text message looks like something you would receive from a blatant scam asking for your bank details...
If you were told me in 2012, they in 2024 there would be an esports World Cup and I wouldn't watch a second of any of it.I would have told you you're crazy person. But then aong came saudi arabia to ruin my enjoyment
I honestly think twistzz mental strength is meh. Will be interesting to see how the roster performs if they have poor results. How will he handle the pressure
Sort of telling that the most talented and level headed player to come out of the NA scene in the last 3 years is, checks notes, Guatemalan. Embarrassing to be an NA fan for me really.
Bit weird to me how everyone says kscerato chose friends over success for not going to Liquid because they are about as far from any trophies and as badly managed as Furia are :D
Hard to say much without being in the team but I think Cadian was a subpar IGL and an even worse awper. Half the time it felt like Liquid were playing without an awper yet their economy took a $4750 deficit every 3 rounds. I agree that in general individual players should leave roster decisions to the coach/GM, however Twistzz clearly has the experience to tell him what it takes to win, and Cadian just wasn't providing that as a leader (Others on the team shared the same opinion most likely). Still a bit early to make any concrete statements, but so far Liquid look far more structured than what we saw on the previous iteration. I think considering his work ethic, his experience in both successful and failed teams, and his development under incredible IGLs, giving Twistzz's the reigns to find success for this org is not as bad as a decision as you make it out to be. Please don't how's the reigns looking today dickhead me in 3 months time 😅Love your work mate.
Valience logo did represent "balkan industrial side" but cr4zy was literally crazy in ex-yu countries that watched csgo. Imagine first real team from balkan competing on CSGO major on 2019, those were the days
No idea. I find it bemusing that JKS keeps on getting brought in as a stand in but never gets signed. Has always confused me and I'll never get while so many teams have picked him up
He doesn't hate jks, he hates the community's narrative around jks. It comes down to jks being an alright player with attitude problems that is absolutely worshipped by his fans
@@overtone55worshipped because he’s the only aussie player who has been able to consistently to compete at tier 1 for years. It’s definitely ott and a lot of the people on reddit who do aren’t even aussie but I can understand why the aussies love him.
Drawing football comparisons - wasn't "New Manager Bounce" proven statistically? I'm giving it a few more months before I make an opinion on Twistzz... we're still in "New IGL bounce" stage.
Prior warning, if you're below 35 and didn't watch Trainspotting when it was out, you may not get as much enjoyment from Trainspotting 2 as I did. It's a bit of a love letter to Cool 90's Britain and those who grew up with the film, lost friends and damaged by society.
@@MrDucktastic That makes a lot of sense. I'm an 28 year old American, and I loved Trainspotting. However, I was underwhelmed and a little annoyed by T2.
@@TheYamsinacan I grew up in 90s Britain. Every teenager had the Trainspotting Renton poster on their wall. It captured the zeigeist of 90s youth. I took my nephew and older brother to see T2 and reception was mixed to say the least. For me, it hit the feelings a bit. Getting old sucks, checked in on old friends and realising young me would hate the conformist adult I became.
