Kassad looked so sad, disgusted and miserable the entire time when Maui was explaining why Boombl4 is the third best igl. Made my day, this show is goated
With both karrigan and aleksib winning the major without NiKo, we know who the issue is 🤣. Jokes aside, it has to suck to be NiKo right now. You bombed out of yet another major (and did not play well) and another former igl takes the trophy.
Exactly. Though I'd say being Karrigan sucks a bit more. Not putting any frags (search on youtube Karrigan vs Navi for some laughs if you like) and losing a map so decisively; a map that you also lost in 2018, another Major Final: plus all the times he has been to Finals for a trophy and getting second place...
@@ZoiusGM i mean, i’m sure it sucks for karrigan but its not too bad no? He got into 7 finals in a row in cs2, won 3 of them. Doesnt make his team seems any weaker, in fact they keep getting stronger after each tournament as frozen integration is going smoother.
Per swani's AMA on reddit about niko: "He helped me mostly by just giving me honest feedback without being toxic or having bad intentions. He helped me in the start when to take timeouts, sometimes just to break the opponents momentum and not even say anything tactically just to breath. He helped me with how much anti strat he likes for himself so he can still feel the game on his own. And obviously inside of the game, especially in CS:GO he was probably the smartest player Just really alot of valuable feedback but with good intentions, sometimes people and players just say "this is shit" without any fix but with him it was always "you could do XYZ better by doing ABC" and I knew I could always tell him anything without him being mad at me since we knew each other for 4 years."
Thorin is right @ 1:22:00 - Aleksib is a tactical genius. He is best known for his signature tactic "going B, but then going A". He also has a second little known tactic of "going A, but going A". What an absolute legend. Top 3 IGL for sure.
Kassad… you throw a little bit of shit on the show, and get a lot of shit on the show. but you play a great role and the show wouldn’t be the same without you. this cast + a guest would/is goat shit. keep it up boyos.
1:50:07 This is so fucking hilarious. You can see it on Kassad's face that he really doesn't want to say it but the he still had to go with the most logical choice HAHAHA
I remember the Richard Lewis interview with Taz how he was saying that when he joined G2, the staff were telling him just go easy and don't rattle any cages at first, get a feel for things and all this stuff. Imagine how Gordon Ramsay would react to someone telling him that in a similar situation. That is the kind of energy Taz should have brought from day one.
Thorin is so unbelievably goated. It always blows my mind how he does this - knowing the details about the Renegades/Faze Starladder matchup, knowing Navi's winrate on Train and Inferno back in 2018, its just insane.
can we stop pretending niko is a superstar in cs2? how long can his reputation ride on the fumes of his amazing performances in csgo? if anyone has the superstar influence on decisions in G2, it should be m0nesy, so why don't you blame him instead?
@gwailoreviews Yeah, and who do they replace him with then? Karrigan is the reason faze gets to the finals, not the reason they lose them, if he was so bad why wouldn't the other faze players call for him to get benched in the first place?All other igls except maybe aleksi rn wish they would have even half as consistent successful results as karrigan in cs2.
I think it's pretty weird how people look at NAVI winning the Major with these player performances from iM and b1t and think that it means they will not be winning events in the future. Wouldn't it be actually more "fluky" if they won on the back of just everyone having massive performances all the way? They won the Major and still looked like there's a lot of room for improvement while only jL had a clear overperformance. Both b1t and iM can play better than they did for most of this tournament. W0nderful performed to his level or a bit above of that, but he's still very young and should just naturally get better with more time and experience. Aleksib was calling well, but his individual form was also below average before the semis and grand final, where he stepped up massively. Their teamplay looked shaky in the Elimination Stage and got gradually better with every game they played. B1ad3 was also saying in an interview that they're only 60% of the way to what he would call a true NAVI system. What if the real fluke wasn't that they won, but that they won so soon? What if this Major from them was just a glimpse of what was to come in the future?
Hooxi getting so much blame is absurd. He called a great series vs mouz and navi. You could reasonably argue that g2 should have 2-0'd Na'vi if it wasn't for very poor performances from hunter and niko. And even still they almost won in 3, ancient was a very close map, with once again poor performances from niko and hunter. Hooxi has dropped the ball in previous majors, but this major it wasn't even remotely on Hooxi's shoulders.
you're mental if you believe Niko can just waltz into Falcons for a bigger bag after he screwed their whole project. Even if his form hadn't fell off a fucking cliff, they're not letting that go
I must say: Do I think Hooxi is a top IGL? No. Is there a world where G2 has a better one? Absolutely! But the way Kassad continously doubles down on this Hooxi bashing is cringeworthy and obviously biased. Why is it biased? Because he only calls out Hooxi, whenever G2 doesn´t win. He doesn´t call out Hunter, not NiKo, everybody can have bad tournaments but it's automatically Hooxis fault. In his tweet he said that "You have #2 , #4 and #13 players on the planet.". Buddy. That is unreasonable levels of cope. NiKo is not even top 10 in CS2, probably not even top 20. Hunter fell off a clip in CS2 aswell. Nothing could happen to convince Kassad that Hooxi is a good IGL. So any take from Kassad about G2 is absolutely worthless, because he is extremely bitter. He has a good understanding of CS, gotta give him that, but this hate-train seems personal and unjustified.
If you don't believe me, ask yourself this question. If Hooxi were the one to throw Anubis in that 2v1 clutch against Aleksi instead of Hunter, would Kassad and co have dogpiled on him? Absolutely. Did they dogpile on a pretty bad Hunter? Nah, all good, his name is not Hooxi.
I mean, the most basic aspect of being an igl is the veto, and having people make excuses for you is a terrible sign. Typically a leader should be taking blame not dodging it.
seems like JL understand fully well on who is doing what job, he put full faith in Aleksib because it is his job to call the shots while he will do his job to frag and entry
donk is number 1 right now, kid's working with a rifle ffs... people said he wouldn't even be top 20 this year when I said he'd be #1... where are you now?
1:05:45 tbf in the spirit vlog chopper was not even there on the veto and he looked suprised when hally told him it was vertigo they did probably consider it before tho
the only person in g2 showing up is monesy. Rebuild around him and kick the rest, maybe keep hooxi, he improved at least. kovac brothers are washed in cs2 and not good enough for a starplayer in g2
The take about NaVi not winning anymore LANs is a pretty common take for anyone who follows Dota 2. Some teams peak at the right moment and never reach that height again.
Kassad calling Maui's take insane then saying that about spirit gives me brain rot lmao. I love this show but what was Kassad smoking today, saying that Shiro isn't performing after singing his praises just before the major is hilarious to me because he clearly just had an off match in the quarters. Shiro is a top 3 AWPer right now and its not even close. M0nesy, Zywoo, and Shiro are better than the rest of the field on a consistent basis. The only argument I can see for someone better is w0nderful because he just helped Navi won the major and broky is way too streaky to compete and be a top 3 awper right now.
I for my part would be extremely happy if this should would indeed still exist in FIVE YEARS. Easily the best cs show right now, and that says alot between snake and banter, counter points and talking counter! Thanks for all the laughs! PS: In 2029 donk would be 22 years old. Which is just unfathomable to think about... Right at his peak?!
Underrated part of the show is Thorins laughter at Kassad's takes. I found the spirit one funny enough to grin, but hearing Duncan freak out had me laughing too
Take the L Maui 😂 Your hot take even got called out in the desk segment post match. Definitely the hottest of takes now though 😭🤷 Edit: Nevermind I just got to Kassad's first hot take 🔥🔥🔥
To kassad’s point about coaching, Steve Kerr, GSW head coach won 4 NBA championships in 9 years with no prior coaching experience. But that is the exception.
lmao the YnK beef was real?? theres no way that tweet pissed him off that much I thought it was just banter from the tone of the tweets... goddayum I hope this doesn't ruin anything long term :/ the parity sucks a little cos it feels like ynk/spunj/moses are their own lil group now cos of their podcast and kassad/thorin/maui are the same - hope it doesn't cause any rifts between thorin and moses/ynk etc...
All the wrong major takes do not count, because the playoff bracket should have had VP in it, and the entire outcome of the major could have been completely different.
@@raze_303 If they saved all of them, sure, but VP would have been favoured to win, as they have been much better in buy rounds on that map (they haven’t won a single pistol and still were leading). The same logic applies to potential OT. And even if it still had come to Anubis, it obviously would not have been the same game, as VP would not have been demoralised by the crash.
Putting m0NESY above donk is crazy. We can talk about legacy, but if we restricted it to only CS2 (because GO is irrelevant now), donk is simply better. His ratings are 0.2 higher than m0NESY across the board with the same sample size and against each Top 10/20/30 team filters. If anything, we're judging m0NESY by only the Copenhagen major where he giga carried and ignoring every other CS2 event.
I know about Aleksib, Dev1ce those are correct. I know so far your takes on BlameF, K0nfig having been correct. So with what I have heard and seen. its 2-2.
The spirit hot take is still great, but I don't know if they win te next Major... I think Vitality could be Spirit's kriptonyte with an in form ZywOo. At first I was a little bit skeptical about how Vitality's form would be, but they performed just fine, it was more of a ZywOo problem, otherwise they would be major champions two times in row! Really bad we didn't get to see that match up in the semis anyway, because now we might get that in a less important match!
if all other teams stay the same yes team spirit can win next one, but if MONESY going c9 or maybe if NIKO, MONESY going to falcons that might make things different
1:08:00 ty youtube for autoplay, randomly heard this gibberish and cant stop laughing, kassad is such a fraud. my hot take is that spirit at kato was mid and at the major that was their floor. we haven't even seen full potential spirit yet.
Kassad needs to pay his players and not threaten to bench them for saying they wont play,its nearly 4 months and no wages, the guys a bullly and certainly doesnt care about the players who have bills and families to support....
I have a hot take. All Navi players have it in their contracts to say that Blad3 is the best coach in the world. I just found it funny that aleksib had to make that announcement after they won the major as if it was something that was never in the minds of people watching haha
i had navi going to finals in my pickems and losing to spirit, however i did say that if spirit somehow didn't make the finals then navi would win. Not rooted in any sound analysis (the part where they would win the entire tournament), I've just been a navi fan for 10 years. I'll still take my wins where I can get them 😁
Kassad’s first take is actually the funniest thing I’ve ever heard in a whilen😂😂 it’s not even a take it’s just something kassad will do

Considering how quick igls gets replaced otherwise, hooxi has to have some incriminating information on G2 managment.
its probably not that easy to replace him as niko alrdy played under almost all good current IGLs and failed to win the major.

Looks like Kassad won some bets on Football so he could upgrade his camera. 🤣
Maui just reading stuff while Thorin and kassad are going at it , lol
Thorin making the hot take about himself so that Maui and Kassad can stroke his ego like jL on a T side pistol
Awesome take maui about taz (19:04) :) keep it up loving the pod lately!😁
Sorry to mention it, but didn't Thorin call Hunden the best eye for talent?
Here for my dosage of people who know CS shitting on Maui
This show is the most funny and entertaining show all across esports
Thorin was also backing Ropz from day one
i'm dying first 7min...holy fuck :D

Apex is a nice guy, but hot take Apex is mid igl.
I had NAVI in the Finals for the pick ems
I had Navi winning in my pickems
Well, last take aged very very poorly
i had navi going to finals in my pickems and losing to spirit, however i did say that if spirit somehow didn't make the finals then navi would win. Not rooted in any sound analysis (the part where they would win the entire tournament), I've just been a navi fan for 10 years. I'll still take my wins where I can get them 😁
such a golden trio in terms of chemistry
xabi even signed a new deal like 1 month ago :D
