1:07:04 I think if you switch out 1 map every major, but once a map was in it had to wait for all 6 to be rotated out to be removed. This would mean every map would have a life span of around 3.5 years. This would mean people couldn't just perma-veto new maps, because they will be in the pool longer than the maps they like. It would mean that you had a chance to have more interesting maps brought in, but also so that you could bring in the old maps. A further development on this is if there was a countdown to when certain maps would come back in like "Mirage will return in 4 rotations" or something and so people could prepare for new maps coming out. The downside is that if there are truly hated maps like Vertigo they have to remain in the pool for 3.5 years, BUT Vertigo has already been in the pool for 5 years so this system would IMPROVE the time it takes to remove bad maps, whilst also setting a better timeline for when maps will be introduced/reintroduced. I think Valve is ramping up to the new map PER major thing, given that they already did it with Dust 2 and have added community maps to the game OUTSIDE of an operation, possibly to test them for competitive play.
That intro is wild Harry is a great singer bro wtf I need to hear him sign karaoke in Austin I actually think sanx is a great pick up I felt like he was one of the brighter positives of the last GL roster, with Isak probably topping the list I watched a lot of GL games this season and I always felt like they had awesome ideas and calls, but failed in the execution way to often. To me, Snax has a really good read of the game right now. He's been in tier 2 for a while having to redevelop himself and I think he's learned a lot about the game. If I made a comparison, he reminds me a lot of Karrigan in mid CSGO (TSM-AST-FAZE) finding his stride as a leader and now being put in charge of an amazing squad of guys. I think Snax is extremely undervalued for G2. Even if he goes .95, that instantly makes G2 a top 3 contender imo. I hope G2 see so much success form this gamble. I think they make semis in the next major and win Austin like 2021 Navi. Great discussion guys, love your conversations. Happy 4th Jason. o7🏈
@@saladcrunch it's not about what he wants because this is a team, if monesy wants that then Niko should do it. Because he can, and monesy will help him. I do not think there's a better time to do it than a moment in time when you got a support of the best player in the world to do it.
@@n0quart3r nah that's what you want and some people on the internet. And then you'll be the first one to blame if they dont win matches. It's a game it's also about having fun and doing what you like. It's not a compulsion. If he didn't want to do it nobody can force him to.
@@saladcrunch you are assuming way too much, what I am saying is that if he has such overwhelming support from his team to do it - there ain't gonna be a better time to do it. Because there will be learning troubles, but we know he can come out a winner at the end. I'm not an idiot who doesn't understand that there will be a transitional period, but if the best player tells you he wants you to IGL him, how dare you say no? You know monesy will help him become great, you know hunter will listen to anything. If there is one team where Niko has a unified respect of everyone and there are no tensions then it's this one. That's a huge thing when becoming an IGL I know what I'm talking about, I respect his decision but I think it's stupid. If monesy leaves, it's because of that decision. Would you risk that?
Sure m0nesy might have motivation to leave but there’s not really a top 5/10 team he can go to right? If anything m0nesy should realize the amount of leverage he has over the lineup and just start making trade calls himself lol
I am not sure but he mentioned that he is unexperienced, I think only ones that make sense are headtrick or sl3nd who have played well lately (maybe artfrost or Martinez aswell but idk if they speak english)
G2 is cursed ever since they fired the face of their org and someone who was clearly passionate about the game for standing next to someone in a picture.
Am I the only one that thinks relying on support staff is less interesting for the sport? I feel like the idea of moving tactics to the support staff will cap the level of play and take away the excitement of meta shifts because a player wants to take chances or comes in with an un proven play style. I would hate the idea of every game ending up like watching NAVI, the most by the numbers statistically accurate play. I mean it is the best way to make the game profitable for orgs since you can have a decisions by bureaucracy providing a lot more consistent performance year to year.
