I like how Niko and Karrigan talk about rain, he sound so chill and then karrigan said he got tilted and just buy p90 rush for 3 round straight and just leave the room
dude it's crazy how these guys are like teenage heroes for me, Faze became my all time favourite CS team by the end of 2017 and to this day it's still sad they didn't win Boston/a Major together
It was such a great time listen to undisputed legends of the game. This conversation brought back a lot of memories from the old days, when I followed almost every game possible 😅
So glad to hear one of the top players in the world also recognising that CS2 is trash compared to CSGO. Sick of these dumb 1k hr kids trying to gaslight experienced players.
Seee y'all were wrong. He said the first 2 1/2 years the changes were bad and that his timing was unfortunate for when he had decided to leave, seeing as this was the best form of g2 since he's been there. 💔
@6:25 the real answer is age is just a number especially when it comes to video game's more importantly is the passion you have for it because no matter what age you are if you do not have the passion you will not last long in anything, And than there's dedication and willingness to sacrifice =Family or any Real Life stuff plus health. Imo anyway
though age does hit as far as i know, one loses reaction speed by age, which is vital for cs (i don't really know anything else about age and skills used in esports) i believe that age is just a tradeoff from motor skills, like aim and reaction speed, to experience, like reading your opponent.
NiKo is full of shit. You didn’t leave because of the results or because you didn’t agree with some moves on G2’s side. You left because they are willing to pay you five times more than G2. You left m0NESY for degster and malbs for washed up Magisk. So not exactly a great team…
Sorta agree sorta not. Pay was def was why he joined falcons but I think he also thought/thinks that falcons has the ability to make the perfect /better roster for him, and went assuming monesy would join him.
it's more or less he wanted a new experience, and in his defense g2 management isn't the best either.. when everyone wanted nexa out then they kick hooxi as well for someone like snax whose strats are very unorthodox and 5 b rounds in a row. He also didn't win a single trophy in his first 2 years on g2, i guess that makes a big deal to him. I'm sure him and monesy will meet again whether in Falcons or not
wow been wanting to hear a conversation between these two
Didn't expect to see you here, need Aries back asap
I like how Niko and Karrigan talk about rain, he sound so chill and then karrigan said he got tilted and just buy p90 rush for 3 round straight and just leave the room
Because He is so chill and he never tilts BUT when rain tilts It means atmosphere in a team must be horrible
As Faze fan myself, first time seeing him slammed the desk was losing the GF Major Shanghai last year
Both have played for ages and are still on top of the game respect
This feels like a long-term couple who broke up, moved on, and, years later, can sit down and chat peacefully to reflect
2 goats, 2 sides of the same coin. Glad they lifted trophies together
YNks direct and deep (not the obvious) questions makes this pod topp notch 👍 making Niko and Karrigan 'game on' in this episode, well done!
dude it's crazy how these guys are like teenage heroes for me, Faze became my all time favourite CS team by the end of 2017 and to this day it's still sad they didn't win Boston/a Major together
They really deserved it 😢 just like these 2 last ones, how they gave it away to navi and spirit. Sad to see.
@@jellecoolguy123 they definitely didnt deserve to win against navi, they played horrrible.
ESL are the GOATS right now in CS, i freakin love these type of podcasts.
What a genuine conversation. I really wanted a Convo between these two. Love them both. Thanks ESL
That intro - IGL joke does hit.!
Feels very wrong that they never won a major together
Two of the best - thank you for arranging this!
"if we gonna drop out in groups its gonna be disaster", xdding back to pracc, good convo!
Thanks for arranging this meeting! Both are absolute legends
It was such a great time listen to undisputed legends of the game. This conversation brought back a lot of memories from the old days, when I followed almost every game possible 😅
I swear to god i look forward to these talks almost as much as to the games themselves. Great stuff!
ESL KEEP POSTING THESE BANGERS, GET EVERY PRO PLAYER WHO SPEAKS ENGLISH TO DO THE INTERVIEW ❤
Honestly, the 1v1 Tennis example in the end is great ^^
Two long lasting GOATs of the game
Both legends from the time of 1.6! 👏
Wow two legends on one table love this thanks. I'd like to add I don't want to see falcons fail we love the players and want to see them do well 👍🏻
the goat igl with the real goat
Goddamnnnn, loved watching the whole thing, what an experience!
love how they just breeze past karrigan's "that's where the team died" comment
didn't expect this, thanks esl!
Holy shit ESL dropping gold every day
I wish Niko made his way back to FaZe
great talk with 2 true legends of cs
Dircus should train for Strickland fight but he is talking with some guys about computer game what a legend
😂😂😂
Nice to see my 2 favorite cs players having fun
YnK was the perfeft choice for this episode 👏🏽
two true OGs of the sport
the best hour of my day
need these two back on the same team
Any karrigan piece of content is a banger. But Niko as well??? Nahh we really eating good
top notch stuff, thanks for amazing content
Funny, all of them even Finn, Niko and YnK are/were part of Faze
The Two Goats!!!!!❤️💚
it would be sick kennys and guardian interview like this
"4th best coach"
at least ynk has a sense of humor
wow. fantastic!
This made me miss 2016-2020 csgo
u definitely don't miss 2020.
Hell yes
niko def hated that jks change lol
but mexa had THE VIBES BRO
He probably would still be in g2 if it weren't for that
this was a banger
YO THIS IS GOATED
So glad to hear one of the top players in the world also recognising that CS2 is trash compared to CSGO. Sick of these dumb 1k hr kids trying to gaslight experienced players.
Well Niko we all know it's because of the bag even tho he don't wanna admit it xD It's kinda understandable that he can't say that.
Damn, ESL VIDEO GUY is working overtime, it seems.
27:00 Niko and Karrigan say Hovi or something and then again at 29:06 who does Karrigan say never tilts and then left practice?
thats the shortened version of his real name/nickname they use for rain
Rain
@ Thank you! Uh oh last event him and broky got into it a little. but it's nice to see players who don't rage
@@weberswonderland rains name is Harvard. Havi.

Imagine Falcons win PGL Cluj
Yeah you'll have to imagine alright
23:37 😭
nice podcast just -ynk
7:30 brother? Come on guys..
Small mistake
In both Serbia and Bosnia we call our cousins a brother/sister thus the mistake
What happened to the Faze Train vid? Deleted?
I'm curious too. Such a cool video and suddenly it disappeared. Sad.
Maybe some issue with the title or both videos related to Faze Clan release same day.
HE LOOKS LIKE DDP FROM UFC!
54:55 dust tuah

Does DDP look like Yanko or is it the other way around?
one of these days....
I don't think NiKo will win a Major with Falcons. I believe he'll return to FaZe after a while and win his first Major there, I'm sure of it.
That would be the best story in CS not gonna lie
@ Like a movie with a happy ending in the end, everyone would be satisfied.
i mean if it was niko for ropz :D that could have been fire move
Best
i was 8 yrs old when they faced each other the first time geez
I was 74 yo wtf
2 guys that are choking at majors lol
I love NiKo so much he is sooooo sexy❤❤❤❤❤
Oh what could have been...
Bro I'm surprised niko didn't goto faze instead of falcons I would think faze and karrigan would've preferred niko over elige
i don't think they have the money for niko and eventually monesy
what does VRS mean?
Valve ranking system.
@@honorsecurity9309 valve ranking system
@@MusicJunkie37 It's not, it's Valve Regional Standings
@@skillbomb8823well one can criticize ranking system but not regional standing so..
@@lukeX2mwhy lie bro? It’s Valve Regional Standings
Why is MiniPlayer disabled man wtf
C9 win against these guys was a joke . they were so lucky
So early
NiKo is full of shit. You didn’t leave because of the results or because you didn’t agree with some moves on G2’s side. You left because they are willing to pay you five times more than G2. You left m0NESY for degster and malbs for washed up Magisk. So not exactly a great team…
Sorta agree sorta not. Pay was def was why he joined falcons but I think he also thought/thinks that falcons has the ability to make the perfect /better roster for him, and went assuming monesy would join him.
it's more or less he wanted a new experience, and in his defense g2 management isn't the best either..
when everyone wanted nexa out then they kick hooxi as well for someone like snax whose strats are very unorthodox and 5 b rounds in a row.
He also didn't win a single trophy in his first 2 years on g2, i guess that makes a big deal to him. I'm sure him and monesy will meet again whether in Falcons or not
First 🥇
Second 🥈
