Machine always the voice of reason and compassion, such a good guy always trying to look out for the people behind the player tags :) much love and respect to you Alex.
Make this a thing for every major. 5 years down the road we will be selling out the spodek for hltv live episodes. Loved Prof’s savagery. Yekindar you gem! Les bring lans back to Sydney Chad. Les go the boys!
Love how entertaining this edition was. I haven't watched any hltv confirmed for more than an hour, but i was sitting with my butt glued to the chair throughout the 3 and a half hours in this one.
This is a part that we miss from CSGO community; live talks with pro-player in which they can give a live banter chat. Hope to see this more often. Dear HLTV, please provide more microphone (maybe in the middle of audience?) so that we can know whats the crowd cheer/talk about
This was probably some of the best CS content I've seen. Doing it live with rotating guests and fan interaction was amazing, and the questions from the crowd were mostly pretty good. I am looking forward to the next live edition now. Very nice work.
This is the first live hltv I've ever seen, only started playing in 2020, really fun to watch, especially the guests, but I didn't think you went as well into depth as you could've
2:22:05 Roban used it extremely briefly, as soon as it showed up on the client, he reported it and restarted his game. Hardly the same as Hunden's usage of it.
I kid u not the audio in the stream busted my airpod speaker at the end when they did QnA and gain boosted the mics so u can hear the audience (around 2:59:40) cause I had volume on max 😔
OOF outpost on fire events like 12,13 years ago playing cod4. Brought back memories with spunJ calling out outpost and Machine of course being in the audience. Following your podcasts for quite a bit keep up the good work. Progress def. visable over time
i think that a part of c9's stuff is the situation as well, they have been trying to move and set up with their new org and only had like 3 days to prep for the major, mentally they seemed drained and i think that is more significant than people are saying
50:57 As WarOwl showed in his video about the smoke bug, it was not m0nesy's proprietary trick. hunter was aligning the smoke earlier too, but the window smoke did not arrive, so he did not throw the counter smoke. In my opinion it's good that G2 used it in this stage and did not keep it until in playoffs, I think they intentionally wanted to use it in earlier stage to warn everybody about it and have it dealt with somehow before somebody else finds it. It's also good that G2 did not qualify with the help of this bug. It's a pity that they ruined Imperial's chances to qualify in the process.
@@abdallahouazzani918 I watched the clip again and must agree - somehow I thought that it was used at the end of the map, not at the start of the Imperial T side that went very well overall.
I mostly don't mind Prof being sarcastic and teasing people in a fun way, but what happened after 2:48:56 didn't feel very comfortable to watch. Yekindar is mostly the kind of guy who wouldn't mind jokes on him but asking him about his rating like that when it's not good is understandably gonna make him feel a bit bad. He is a CS:GO player, that's his main thing, and talking about his rating like that would make him feel like you're questioning his main thing, as it did.
58:14 What is the actual article by Striker they are talking about, I was trying to search for it for 10 minutes, but I couldn't find any article on HLTV "hating" on Imperial let alone by Striker. Does anyone have the headline of the article so I can find it? (If you post link on YT it doesn't show to other people.) Or did they delete the article? Plz help. 😊
Talking about Liquid I think they need to replace Shox with someone more aggressive like Yekinder. It’s up to Elige in most rounds to try to find opening on T and CT often without much support. Naf and Osee are great late round clutchers, don’t need a third with Shox. Need someone aggressive to help entry and find openings. Back in Liquids ‘era’ they had Stewie doing a lot of that and Elige got to be the second in or CT side trade stewie. Needs someone like that again
Realistically they have to move and prac in europe full time. You cant make it in a shit-tier region like NA these days with how every pro cheaped out and went to valorant.
You guys should do these kind of interviews more often. I actually hated cadian until this interview. Now I'm thinking about brushing up on my danish lol.
Give Vitality some time I say. I think they can be good, but yeah, there's definitely a bit of a compatibility issue between the play-styles of the two groups of players.
can anyone help me with this grammar confusion? one segment is titled "beef with NiKo". in this case, shall it use 'against' not 'with' bc in my understanding as non native to the text, cadiaN beef together with NiKo against nothing love the help if you can
I don't think that guy represented the Brazilian community that well. It's not about not believing, it's pretty simple: 1. Racism on hltv threads that go unpunished. 2. There's always a "but" when it comes to brazilians. "Yeah, the fans are amazing, but there are the haters" "Yeah, Imperial played great but the opponent wasn't that good on that map" "Yeah, Imperial won but they'll loose on the next one". Best episode yet tho
There is racist threads about everyone on hltv. It's not only Brazilians. And there is always a but with every team. The thing is that Brazilians don't really see that other people experience the same stuff. So they feel it's only them getting shit on, but everyone gets shit, but the victim complex makes them not see it.
2:05:30 I was surprized to see cadian not give confident answer. Say "of course we are going to win" man what is gonna happen at worst? If you lose it is what it is but you should believe you are gonna win bro.
i think its because in cadian mind "yes,we winning navi last rmr,but loses them in 2 or 3 years in a row"so that hard game for heroic when we talks about mentality
@@venet7572 yes but I think in this major everyone can literally beat everyone. It is anyone's major. Everyone has a chance to win so there is no reason to not believe in yourself. I don't think I've ever seen a major where it was this unclear who is going to win.
yeah exactly. That question came up a couple of times and i was fully sure that he would say "yeah we're taking the W" but he didnt. He sounded really....."scared" if I should say
Yekindar is such an amazing interviewee. It sounds so good to hear him.
this actually made me want/excited for the prospect of him going to a NA team and doing more english content
Yekindar and Hampus should have an "Inside the scene" podcast. I'd be fucking glued
@@decadent5341 for fucking real, and even if he isn't everyones cup of tea a personality like Cadian is good for the scene imo
@@leetebbens8858 cadiaN is much like Sebastian Vettel in F1 imo, people will come around

yea this was very engaging
first time i actually stayed up till late in the night to watch the entire thing
Yesss, being way more casual made it more interesting
@@anirudhsubramanian5578 same normally I fall asleep midway Nd watch the rest on TH-cam
Live audience thing probably has a huge part to do with it
yekindar oozes charisma. He's built for a PR career.
This is a part that we miss from CSGO community; live talks with pro-player in which they can give a live banter chat. Hope to see this more often.

Beyond the summit back in the day was soo much fun to watch cause of the atmosphere - All the player looked relax and were having a good time.
This was the best one yet. I hope this happens often.
btw Yekindar and Sjokz are so savage 😎
Spice Girl looks alright for 40 ! 🤣

Never been a fan but this live show was mint, hope they do this every major. Great job guys!
Watched the whole thing live, this was amazing
15:59 sjokz!! Oooooo damn
Thanks for uploading so fast. I started watching the twitch vod
Unfire lukas
I did too, was getting 2 minutes of ads every one minute of content
I am green shirt! I was big in this one, back of my head can be seen a lot hahahah! Was super fun, thanks guys :)
2:11:00 when the beer comes in its such a vibe loved that ^^
This is definitely my favourite episode of the show, it'd be awesome to have more of these during events and stuff
Guy with glasses on the right side in audience was on stage with Banks before the final Pog
Spunj you are the best!!!
Sjokz attacking Yekindar left, right and center at every opportunity xD 15:57
lmao yek got attacked by everyone in this session xD
banter
This is the first live hltv I've ever seen, only started playing in 2020, really fun to watch, especially the guests, but I didn't think you went as well into depth as you could've
we need more of this, gj !
1:34:25 When speaking about Elige, look at Machines reaction... is there something known that we dont?
I thought everyone knew that elige is a massive drama queen.
This was one of the best ones
been watch the youtube vods for years, this is the best one yet. great format
I have following this podcast since 2020 .....this episode is the best one so far .... enjoyed so much ♥️♥️♥️
Loved this, more live audience episodes please!
one of the best hltv confirmed episodes ever
Mixed feelings about the guy in the middle, awesome stuff overall. Loved it!
who wouldve thought they'd be teammates 1.5 years later
Love yekindar, hope to see more of him
Really interesting to see how yeki and cadian interact back then, after the cadian benching.
about the shox french interview, he said he'd prefer heroic because for some reason his teammates felt confident against them
This is the best HLTV Confirmed episode so far, its much more entertaining with live audience.
Always with amazing content. Would be cool to have one of these for every big tournament.
1:34:20 Caster in the crowd was like " Oh shiz, somebody finally said it, wasn't me tho"
This live edition was really great. Hopefully you can do another one sometime.
Some solid work by RL! Love it
If broky plays half as good as he did in katowice and the rest of the team doesnt disappear nip has no chance against faze.
Yekindar is so fun to watch. More Love to him

3:10:50 his disclaimer was longer than "a couple of sentences"
XD prof is actually such a great foil. It's so good to watch.
you guys need to run this at every big event
1:42:04 great take from Yekindar about Cloud9/Gambit, he basically read my mind about this whole problem with their results
50:57 As WarOwl showed in his video about the smoke bug, it was not m0nesy's proprietary trick. hunter was aligning the smoke earlier too, but the window smoke did not arrive, so he did not throw the counter smoke.

They didnt ruin Imperial's chances. The impact of smoke was minimal

Insane video as always
Bleughh is the type of dude that shouts out nu-metal and wears a church burning black metal shirt to 6-digit figure audiences

Strikers voice sounds smooth like butter in this audio. It usually doesn’t sound this clean. Whatever you did for his audio keep it.
Absoltely loved this concept
You guys should have Yekindar or other good pro players more often, they give new and better perspective.
yekindar is flexing with sjokz
This was a great episode
Dude wearing DOWN - shirt on back row is legend!
This was great :D n1 guys

Fucking love it

Is someone notice sjokz is pretty?
You guys picked NIP for reals :o
It wasnt for reals it was an imaginary bracket run. It was about the stpry and not being correct
