Thanks a ton for having this guy on Maui, I really liked kingt's insight so I checked out his youtube as well and his prospect series seems really good! Shoutouts to you kingt
NiKo basically single-handedly delayed the Saudi takeover, without him this team will not draw the eyes unless they get karrigan, s1mple, sh1ro or dev1ce... and sh1ro probably still won't bring the numbers
I'm glad KingT brought Tomiko up. I've seen Permitta/Los Kogutos a few times and although they are a frustrating bunch to watch because sometimes it feels like their super aggressive playstyle just throws away some rounds far too easily but then again Tomiko's crazy bursts on the sites ripping up the defence can be a joy to watch. On a good day he can beat a tier 2-3 opposition almost single-handedly. Curious to see how he progresses in the near future! And yeah, I'm also a gambling addict and that's probably the only reason why I know these players so that part cracked me up. 😂
I think Launder's hit it on the head comparing donk's mechanics/aim, it's just like f0rest, his aim is so calm, no aggressive flicks, good long range duels, more like him aim wise then NiKo imo :D
As the years have gone on I've really started to warm to Niko. I think he had a prima donna phase during the Nikosports days (as you would if you were that cracked) but as the years have gone on it seems like he's grown as a player and a person. In his exit interview at the Paris Major he left the tournament with class and grace, and now he's sticking it to the Saudis. Fuck knows what they were offering him to move (or what G2 offered for him to stay) but mad respect to him for declining (what was likely) a ridiculous salary to stay at G2 and focus on the major win. Don't usually care who wins at the major (i'm just here for the CS itself) but will deffo be supporting G2 this time around. Great content as always Maui
really enjoyed this episode and always appreciate you putting some smaller creators on the show, especially since they all seem to have great insight on the game!
another banger episode I predict Gla1ve to have 3-6 months of elevated motivation that will reflect in either his individual level or in him trying to get an early lead on meta changes in CS2. After that who knows but since he has a family and has won everything I think we all know what's most likely (would love to be proven wrong).
Glaive was definitely bad towards the end of Astralis, but what coach did he have. What have they done before or since then (as coaches not players)?Under saw I have some hope he can do more, but definitely a risk
No one "held it down" on falcons. They had like a 35% win rate in tier 3... its a team that is willing to buy niko, monesy, magisk, and snappi... they are aiming well above even the best potential from MHL. It a little ridiculous you dont see them clearly aiming higher... like for real zonic didnt give them a chance?? Maybe the team idk could have qualified for more than 2 cct swiss stages..
Zonic: "It's not about the money and I will give everyone a chance" Narrator: This was a lie, that would soon become obvious Solid proof that just throwing money at a "problem" doesn't solve it lmao
