Thorin and Kassad arguing and maui sitting there like a child watching his parents fight is so fucking funny. No hate for Kassad or anyone for that. Its just such good entertainment.
Thorin, Kassad, and Maui could apply this format to anything - racquetball, pantone colors, lawncare youtubers, etc. - and it's still an instawatch for me
Also frankly it depends on your definition of a fluke, in my opinion a team can fluke and still be the best team in the world on that day. The fluke part is that they're almost never or haven't even once ever before been at that level until this fluke.
Loved the content. But on the niko segment I feel like there was an interesting discussion that didn’t happen. Kassads point is that he doesn’t agree with Duncan’s speculation on Nikos in game character traits as an igl. I think if Kassad knows Niko personally, then would likely have insight into how he acts and behaves. I don’t really care much for the bias point because ultimately this is a show of pundits and so you take that for what it’s worth. Thorin seemingly was tilted that his opinion on the matter was being disregarded purely because he doesn’t have the relationship with Niko that kassad has. Which is entirely fair. But I think there is some truth to both points. Frankly kassads take on Niko is interesting and I wish it was actually developed. What is Niko like on a server? When Niko does his facecam tilt, does it affect his team? Has he matured as a player emotionally? These are questions I wish were answered. Ultimately tho the segment kind of devolved to shit throwing at each other and personal attacks. Which is fine, but I will say it did feel awkward and unpleasant to watch. Just my genuine thoughts on the matter.
great episode but pls don't use these stupid generic thumbnails in the future, i saw it and almost instinctively clicked "Don't recommend channel" before realizing this was actually a new HTPM episode
What i love about the part they argue is how they just play it off without being pissed like a little kid and running away. 3 men accepting opinions and joking about it😂
pleaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaase guys change the thumbnail. l was literally like "wtf is this video in my recommended, l didn't care for it, until maui mentioned it on his stream. u need to have your faces on it, it's def the best that way
yeah I 100% agree. especially when it's a 'podcast' too. you want to see who is on it and it's already instantly recognizable with the background being synonymous with HTPM.
Are you really suggesting Stewie worship is a Hot take? Half of the scene seems to be bending themselves into pretzels trying to make that case. @@indiemoans
Thorin makes a ton of content and I appreciate it all, but this is the best show because of the dynamic Kassad brings. I don't think anyone can make Thorin throw his hands up in the air like Kassad. Thorin's used to being the bull in the china shop, but Kassad is on another level of bullheadedness.
yo thorin and kassad! love it! be yourselves! real fans love it! y’all can disagree and it’s all for the show and love of cs. even at the end y’all are laughing. it’s great. stay the same!
Kassad was right lmao... he wasn't saying you can't have an opinion just that his thoughts carry more weight considering he talks directly to Niko... this argument was so drawn out for no reason 😂
Of course Kassad is insanely biased about Niko! And just because they rode a bike after school and avoided american bombs back in the day doesn't mean he knows anything more about his game.
Of everyone in Counter Strike, an open bombsite clutch, the fate of the universe on the line, the martians have the death beam pointed at Earth, you need to win this round, down 11-12, I WANT STEWIE2K!!!!
Dude the audio levels for this video are too fucked up to listen. Thorin is *insanely* loud, and not just like he’s yelling, his audio level is maybe 3x the others. Maui is exactly in the middle, and Kassad is inaudible. When you turn up the video to hear Kassad, your eardrums get blown out by Thorin. This is PGL level.
regarding the navi fluke, that was the vibe that i got from their interviews too. the sheer lack of arrogance and most importantly, CONFIDENCE. theres like zero confidence from major champions lmfao
i hereby officially declare that i do not hate thorin or kassad. that segment was funny af. Personally i'd weigh kassad's insights regarding Niko more over thorin's
37:05 not true. In that case they would not be able to play asia RMR because they have 2 from EU subregion but the asian subregions are split. Lets say someone had 2 EU 1 NA 1 SA and 1 ASIA, they would play EU no matter what, they would NOT be eligible to play in Americas RMR because they would be split 1 and 1 for SA qual and NA qual so they would go to EU qual since it actually has the most pertaining to any subregion
yo this argument between thorin and kassad, kassad is actually right but still funny as hell, especially where thorin drops the truth bomb of "at the end of the day, people dont watch this for analysis but for the jokes i make" TRUE
Kassad was all over the place in this one.. It's so weird to require logic from others while you defend your mate from any criticism with "I just know him".
With thorins take on the superteam... it sounds wonderful but then wouldnt it just be boring? Yea we could enjoy 2 3 full dominated tournaments... but with no competition there aint no cs
If NiKo goes igl then hunter simply has to go. I think he has to go no matter what. It simply cant be true that the best entry duo of m0nest and NiKo, the best awp in m0nesy, the 2nd best if not best entry in NiKo has to play with the 10th best lurker. hunter takes up too big of a star role where every team has either their highest rated player or 2nd highest if their awp is higher rating (or third in spirit where donk is obv higher) Hunter isnt consistent nor good enough to have that big of a star role
Bro I swear to God did Kasad not understand what a hot take is? It's not the most well researched well thought out correct opinion. It's just something that goes against the grain of what others are thinking and you have a hunch might be correct.
He was saying he knows more abou Niko’s personality due to spending more time with him inside and outside the game. Using your analogy, Dona would know more about Nexa’s personality and vibe than Kassad.

Thorin and Kassad arguing and maui sitting there like a child watching his parents fight is so fucking funny. No hate for Kassad or anyone for that. Its just such good entertainment.
i would hate to be someone who takes these guys too seriously. wouldn't be able to enjoy the pure comedy they bring
i have to listen at 3 different volume levels when these 3 are doing a show lol
Lmao it’s like my friends in discord
If Loudness Equalization is available in your audio options in windows/audio settings (i.e realtek) then you could enable it to fix it.
TH-cam has a stable volume feature now
Zero room treatment too. Shitloads of echo and a headset mic. Audio wise one of the worst podcasts 😂

Thorin and Kassads argument was the most heated I've ever seen on a talk show
These takes are getting heated!
nah this isn't even that bad compared to American talk shows
If it was anyone else their friendship would be over and this would be the last ep of the show.
But these 2? Just banter, light work. XD I love them
That's what happens when 2 semi dumb person with big egos argue
You must not have seen the final episode of Listen Loco
This has to be the most entertaining episode yet! Never change Kassad.
Thorin vs Kassad, the funniest banter duo known to man
Fr Kassad is the perfect fit for this show
Thorin, Kassad, and Maui could apply this format to anything - racquetball, pantone colors, lawncare youtubers, etc. - and it's still an instawatch for me
I am laughing so hard!!!
Its true, Duncan, i do watch these 90+% just for your jokes and banter. Never dismember this legendary trio.
Thorin roasting kassad about Niko is GOLD. Kassad so triggered lmfao 58:00 4 minutes of pure liquid GOLD
Kassad: I will not call a major win a fluke, that's disrespectfull. Also Kassad: Blast banana cup... MAJOR.
Also frankly it depends on your definition of a fluke, in my opinion a team can fluke and still be the best team in the world on that day. The fluke part is that they're almost never or haven't even once ever before been at that level until this fluke.
Well calling a win a fluke is different from calling the major itself Not prestigious
G2 Perfecto
Yeah cause vitality beat the mighty Apex, gamer legion etc.
just watching the thorin vs kassad section is hilarious and you have maui reacting in the background and that is basically just how I am rn now😂😂
The "I'm fucking ropz" rant is the funniest shit I've heard all month
Loved the content.

That Kassad and Thorin argument was funny af 😂😂😂. Kassad was getting so heated over the counter to his argument and eas doing the Dona thing.
"You are insane, yes" lmfao
That banter over the Niko section was hilarious 😂
Man this is by far my favorite show all time and its not even close.
We been starving
great episode but pls don't use these stupid generic thumbnails in the future, i saw it and almost instinctively clicked "Don't recommend channel" before realizing this was actually a new HTPM episode
Maui taking over the show a minute in is hysterical.
Thorin malding.
i cant with thorin's comment at 58:55 💀 the whole argument was crazy
you could tell Maui regretted not bringing Popcorn to this one
What i love about the part they argue is how they just play it off without being pissed like a little kid and running away. 3 men accepting opinions and joking about it😂
pleaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaase guys change the thumbnail.
l was literally like "wtf is this video in my recommended, l didn't care for it, until maui mentioned it on his stream.
u need to have your faces on it, it's def the best that way
Yes this thumbnail looks real generic
yeah I 100% agree. especially when it's a 'podcast' too. you want to see who is on it and it's already instantly recognizable with the background being synonymous with HTPM.
I desperately need someone to put the We Cry Together instrumental over Kassad and Thorin arguing
Please never let this show end. Kassad might be the unintentionally most funny person on the planet.
This has become It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia. I love it.
Thorin and Kassad's argument had me rolling. Never change this show lmao.
"Are you fuckin anyone in G2?" wasn't on my bingo card but fair enough xD
Only fuck that was one of the funniest Hot Take Point Made 🤣🤣🤣
Couldn't stop laughing during this one, absolutely phenomenal content
Petition to remove maui from the show until the Stewie2k era of delusion ends.
his takes have been ultra bad for so long. get semmler in there
It's called hot take for a reason...
hey you cant judge a man for what he loves, remember moses and koosta? a forbidden love

It is the best HT when this lineup is here , love the Kassads reactions to Maui...
There werent any HTPM episodes with different leneup though
This is literally the only lineup
What? 😂
Its quite shamful that a major run and win by a team with 2 decads of lagecy is still being called a Fluke.
Shame.
Thorin v Kassand was amazing 😂. Yes we tune in for the clips 🔥😎
Thorin and Kassad top 2 beards in esports
Launders and spunj are clear ngl
INJECT THIS EPISODE INTO MY VEINS LOL THORIN AND AND KASSAD ARGUING FOR 20 MINUTES IS SO GOOD
this show every episode gets better and better
yo thorin and kassad! love it! be yourselves! real fans love it! y’all can disagree and it’s all for the show and love of cs. even at the end y’all are laughing. it’s great. stay the same!
"id give a take but you know her better than me"
duncan squeezing the joke till the end, this episode was a banger!
Kassad was right lmao... he wasn't saying you can't have an opinion just that his thoughts carry more weight considering he talks directly to Niko... this argument was so drawn out for no reason 😂
He was all over the place.. He also himself ended up saying "I'm right" instead of claiming his opinion carries more weight or something reasonable.
Of course Kassad is insanely biased about Niko! And just because they rode a bike after school and avoided american bombs back in the day doesn't mean he knows anything more about his game.
Maui brought out the popcorn with the rest of us for that Niko take lol
Never let this show end.
Thorin is right: this show is about being entertaining and not analysis. Thorin and Kassad having a shouting match will never boring to watch
Funniest piece of content I have seen in a long time. Masterpiece.
Of everyone in Counter Strike, an open bombsite clutch, the fate of the universe on the line, the martians have the death beam pointed at Earth, you need to win this round, down 11-12, I WANT STEWIE2K!!!!
yep we are getting pulverized
Played on speakers this fine. Sound wise.
59:45 wtf, classic thorin
I don't think I've ever rewatched a single episode several times in a few days. This was absolute gold.
this show is so good guys. nothing but bangers every episode
Classic maui take on stewie when M0nesy + niko on team
Time to just get Nikos mum on to outrank Kassafs opinion and find the real best roster move for him
Kassad was right
This episode was so hilarious guys, this show is by far my favorite currently running counterstrike podcast
Dude the audio levels for this video are too fucked up to listen. Thorin is *insanely* loud, and not just like he’s yelling, his audio level is maybe 3x the others. Maui is exactly in the middle, and Kassad is inaudible. When you turn up the video to hear Kassad, your eardrums get blown out by Thorin. This is PGL level.
Thorin triggered Kassad so hard hahaha, best episode in a while
Fricking GOLD!!! 58:55 😂😂
Thorin: NaVi themselves think the major was a fluke.
NaVi: Hey, Thorin we are playing the finals at blast
if i scream my opinion at you, its more true.
-Thorin
Maui starts the show with an I want iguodala moment and it’s not even the highlight of the show
Haven’t laughed this hard at a talk show in forever Kassad and Thorin that was brilliant
I hope this is the beginning of the end for this channel 🙏
This is one of the greatest cs talk show episodes ever
this was fucking FIREEEEEE
This show is priceless never change😂
Maui just watching his gay dads fight.
BEST EPISODE EVER!!!!!
Funniest episode ever maui just laughing in the background the whole time
regarding the navi fluke, that was the vibe that i got from their interviews too. the sheer lack of arrogance and most importantly, CONFIDENCE. theres like zero confidence from major champions lmfao
If G2 doesn't get rid of Hooxi after performing worse than TaZ, Peca needs to be questioned as a manager
Kassad with horrible takes per norm
Its crazy how Thoriin treats them like puppies. Lol. This oldman is crazy
i hereby officially declare that i do not hate thorin or kassad. that segment was funny af. Personally i'd weigh kassad's insights regarding Niko more over thorin's
37:05 not true. In that case they would not be able to play asia RMR because they have 2 from EU subregion but the asian subregions are split.

Kassad is the G
Hunter and nexa should switch T side roles. If g2 get another aggressive rifler instead of Hooxi, they’ll be the best.
PRE BANGER!! IVE BEEN WAITING FOR MONTHS
Kino from the start
yo this argument between thorin and kassad, kassad is actually right but still funny as hell, especially where thorin drops the truth bomb of "at the end of the day, people dont watch this for analysis but for the jokes i make" TRUE
This fr is a top 5 episode I'm crying 😭😭😭
Kassad was all over the place in this one.. It's so weird to require logic from others while you defend your mate from any criticism with "I just know him".
Kassad was the most reasonable
Absolute banger episode
With thorins take on the superteam... it sounds wonderful but then wouldnt it just be boring? Yea we could enjoy 2 3 full dominated tournaments... but with no competition there aint no cs
Always fire, I don't know how after that many iterations of this show the hot takes seems to be still getting spicier 🔥
Probably the maddest episode of this show, great fucking entertainment keep it up guys! xD
58:55 OH FUCK ONE OF THE GREAT EPISODES 😂😂 1:01:00 is peak thorin 😂
NiKo as Vita IGL is actually genius. Just think about similar roles like Mirage con and Nuke outside.
Saying NIP is already better than EF, Falcons and 9z is absolutely bonkers
If NiKo goes igl then hunter simply has to go. I think he has to go no matter what. It simply cant be true that the best entry duo of m0nest and NiKo, the best awp in m0nesy, the 2nd best if not best entry in NiKo has to play with the 10th best lurker. hunter takes up too big of a star role where every team has either their highest rated player or 2nd highest if their awp is higher rating (or third in spirit where donk is obv higher) Hunter isnt consistent nor good enough to have that big of a star role
8:20 what if Monesy this, Zywoo that -- doesn't matter, G2 didn't win anything in CS2 before Stewie came in and didn't do that well after either
Bro I swear to God did Kasad not understand what a hot take is? It's not the most well researched well thought out correct opinion.
It's just something that goes against the grain of what others are thinking and you have a hunch might be correct.
My favorite comedy show is back!
Nah - we won't hate Kassad in the comments.
Kassad is low key saying that Dona knows more about G2 than him or than any other analist.
He was saying he knows more abou Niko’s personality due to spending more time with him inside and outside the game.
Using your analogy, Dona would know more about Nexa’s personality and vibe than Kassad.
False
Thorins banter is a fucking gem. Has me laughing right off the bat
