Please, never stop making these, its genuinely the most entertaining Counter Strike podcast I've ever listened too. It doesn't matter if points are a bit exaggerated because it makes it so much more fun and brings out so many funny reactions out of all of you three. Keep it up!
He said that he could do what Ultimate does on CT side since they just run to your crosshair, quite an idiotic take but they are on-air for hours and therefore they are bound so say something stupid from time to time. @@nofluffagain
niko pulling off ALMOST donk numbers for a month and being the best player in the world just confirms that deep down everyone believes donk > m0nesy for the first 6 months of the year
Maui’s take about ZywOo is true. Sometimes being too humble makes you selfish because you’re locking your potential that can push others around to more success.
I remember interview with Yekindar when he was saying that, back then he was skinny guy and he was actually playing well on vp. Now he got fat and started playing shit. 100% agree with Maui
@@laurentiumocacoca175Why is that a known fact? The team who has never had a great igl is losing to Navi 8 games in a row while having the best individual players in the world.
I dont know who owns this channel, but you three should make like a half hour off topic banter series... That last bit about kebab sounded like a start of the episode. Would be interesting to hear hot takes on real life, but i see how that would also be food for reddit goblins.
didnt thorin also said that "im doubling down and navi's ewc win also a fluke" in his video about navi winning ewc. now he is saying they are playing so good right now and they are a top 3 team. then how the hell top 3 team winning a tier 1 event is a fluke by any means? he said b1t did overperform and will not keep it up, guess what b1t is keeping the same form since player break. sometimes its good to chew your ego and admit you are wrong old man
@@Kenobeno he said that shit 3 weeks ago what are you talking about? did navi win cologne to change his mind or did they dominate blast group to change his mind? no none of that happened, they actually havent played against a top 5 team since ewc. so what do you think has magically change his mind, enlighten me when you stop sucking thorins cock. he also said navi is not gonna win any tournament after major with this line up and guess what they won but he didnt say i was wrong when they won ewc.He just called it another fluke because of his fragile ego.
@@martineden35 major winner supposed to be the best team right? That's the logic NaVi now is much better than they were in the major. Which means either they underperformed or other teams did which kinda makes major win a fluke
Thorin said that ultimate is whatever because he holds angles on ct people walk into him and Thorin himself can do it. But he also said that shiro is amazing because he holds angle and kills everyone. He is so petty I cant take him seriously. If he likes someone he will defend them to the end of times no matter what, if he dislikes someone he will use every opportunity to trash them
Throwing a way a lead like Liquid did on that mirage was just some beautifully orchestrated NA chocking at it's finest. You can change the players in Liquid but you can't take the choke out of Liquid
Snaptap is literally something that will make you instantly play better. Its quite obvious when someone hasnt tried it or even null binds, they try to down play it and say its nothing crazy or its the end of the world. In my opinion it just makes the game feel much more consistent and how the game is intended to feel but we were limited by hardware prior excluding null binds. I think snaptap is a good thing and it definitely helps you play better. First bullet accuracy is fucking insanity with it.
Hm don't know, some pros are saying it messes up their movement a bit when they're playing more aggressively. It's possible that because they were forced to adapt to how shitty CS2 movement is, they get confused when having basically perfect strafing
Okay tbf from everything ive seen online Mithr actually seems like a decent coach tbf. Apeks kept qualifying for stuff when they really shouldn't under him. SAW is insane, but MithR catching strays even though hes fine xD
i will give it to kassad that sh1ro's impact on t side is quite literally no where unless he wins the clutch or is in a 2vx post plant where he gets an awp multikill (also how spirit set him up so its not even sh1ro's fault), but his ct side impact is good, he can lock down bombsites all on his own (something zywoo cant do since he doesnt awp especially on a map like anubis where all the best awpers are locking down sites with the awp) sh1ro's impact is winning clutches, securing post plant and also secondary calling, that call against vitality on anubis you were all raving about was not chopper but indeed sh1ro, listen to the comms video spirit uploaded, thats the proof
I will never understand why Thorin loves BlameF, so much. He is one of the biggest non-wining, High stats player I have ever seen. At some point, it needs to stop being BlameF's team's fault and need to start being BlameF's fault. After Yekinder, Thorin needs to revisit BlameF's impact on success of a team.
Yekindar took over IGL at the Major in March, then nitr0 announced he was leaving before Dallas. And using the nuance Thorin used for Nertz, they cannot kick Yekindar because then they lose their spot at the Major. Oh and TL is based in Europe already, 4 of their 5 players live there.
The nertz and yekindar swap wouldn’t be bad that sounds pretty reasonable. I know the buy outs would be insane and gotta wait until the next major to see where things go but that would interesting
All kassad had to do to prove his point was say if sprit meet mouz, vitality, faze or maybe g2 in the quarters that they'll lose. Not saying I agree with that, but that's a pretty easy way to get your point across. There's only one way to get into top 4 and that's win a quarterfinal but it seems that kassad didn't really believe his own take and was just doing it for the show which is fair enough, the segment was entertaining.
He said it at 1:12:38: "You have G2 on top of their form, then Vitality playing well, then Mouz, NAVI and maybe Faze" It got a bit disregarded because Thorin interrupts him with this nonsense honeymoon counter point (none of these teams except maybe G2 are having a honeymoon, they're all 1-year old rosters or close to be)
i agree with the jame take but the only concern is a lack of good russian igls. there are plenty of good russian awpers but because i personally no longer rate jerry and no universe your gonna get Boombl4 or chopper, the options are paper thin.
bout time you call out Yakindar! some analysts overhype some guys like super crazy and now they sit in top teams dragging team down and not being called out.
At dallas he was igling mate, of course it is gonna tank his stats. I am also like pretty sure he didn't use snap tap if you are going to believe the reddit posts.
@@laurentiumocacoca175 Considering how easy it is to detect it, it's going to be interesting to see how they tackle it. I don't think players will be punished. But they can definitely lower the trust factor.
Went from: this team liquid will never win a game, to: they will never make a final. When they win a trophy he'll say: TL will never win twice in a row...etc...
you are actually spreading misinformation because you are a silly hater, he said never win a a trophy.. what kinda idiot would say they never win a game.
I love TL but what happened yesterday is just abomination of choke job that I've ever seen, you just need 1 round. 1 FCCCCking round. So that take might be legit but I would love to be wrong (copium).
@@HiDDeulgi i agree, it was disgraceful. But in the bigger picture, it's one half of one game. The team is on the right path i believe, not much you can do when Faze wakes up and decides you are losing the game. As a whole i am still looking forward to thr future and i will have high expectations for this team in 3-6 months
I really really like the yekindar for nertz. This is a really underrated move. I love it tbh Nertz is gonna burnout with heroic. He needs to be on a team exactly like liquid
I understand the reason they did not went for him but Liquid letting malbs slip away to G2 without even putting up a fight for him is a criminal offense. Imagine Malbs instead of Yekindar .. oh boy
Zywoo has said on interviews that he doesnt enjoy awping as much as rifling, he prob just doesnt want to awp most of the time even though he is insane at it.
@@jR0xass1mple said it but he absolutely loved using the AWP. Sometimes you see ZywOo just refusing to AWP. It’s getting more and more prominent every year and CS2 ain’t helping with that problem.
Kassads needless serbian/bosnian comment shows perfectly whats wrong with the balkans. Niko is a member of the serb ethnic group and his nationality (and flag as thorin mentions) is bosnian. Next time either be precise if you want to "correct" someone or just stop with the spiteful balkan bs
What I don't understand about the NAVI fluke topic is this: Isn't every team winning the major before winning tournaments a fluke win? So the major win of LG was a fluke since they didnt do shit after their major? They were literally a Top 6 Team before the major win. I dont think NAVI's Major win was the most likely outcome but at this point I would like to know from Thorin what a team can do to not have a Fluke Major win if its their first
if g2 wins its a fluke, honeymoon, others were not prepared for new roster if navi win its a fluke, they got lucky spirit went out else they would beat navi if faze win, its a fluke, games were too close, they are running out of steam and should still make roster changes if vitality wins, its a fluke, they usually choke, just got convenient opponent that couldn't press them hard enough, kick mezi
What is to understand is that Thorin never admits that he was wrong. He just found a twisted phrasing to not admit that this NAVI major win was not a fluke: "they've just become much better individually, the calling and round planning is better, it's basically not the same team it was in March." L4ME!
@@eckowezen God forbid a team can work on themselves and be better. The major was a fluke because they overperformed above their level AROUND THAT TIME.
Thorin...they beat Navi twice in a week. Just cause you don't care about blast because they never hired you doesn't mean that all accounts for nothing hahah
