great guest appearance by Devilwalk. Its always nice to see when guests arent just there to answer questions but also participate more without being asked to.
Great episode. Highlight of the RMR for me was definitely seeing Imperial win over COL. Not even Brazilian, but just knowing how much it means for the Brazilian fans and just for the major itself was too great to see. Especially of you’d tuned into Gaules’ stream, the hype and flood of happiness was unreal.
Yeah I have such mixed feelings about it though. Was ecstatic for imperial but devastated for complexity who have been playing well recently and showing what they are capable of.
not very good in a low buy B rush b T's. It just don't have the magazine to hold a few Ts with few flashes an 1 smoke at bay. M4a4 is shit for giving 96 damage in 5 hits.
I think the best way to solve the Problem with Legends Spots in Europe would be to let the 6 Teams who are 3-1 in both RMR groups A and B play each other in bo3. There are 3 Legends spots for these teams. It could look like this; 3rd place A plays 5th place B 4th place A plays 4th Place B 5th place A plays 3rd Place B Right now there are 3 Matches for legends spots (1 in Europe A and 2 in Europe B), so there wont be more matches.

I love Chad as a personality, his commitment & endless love for the game, as a caster he's also my favorite along with Machine, just all around a gem for the scene BUT i'm 50 minutes in and I keep noticing that he cuts other people off a lot and talks over others quite often, and when he's not saying anything, his mouth is literally already starting to move like he CANNOT wait to speak at all it feels like. It's a 4-man conversation and it feels a lot like he's literally either talking or waiting for his turn, but he doesn't even wait for his turn most of the time, and that's really frustrating and to see, I feel like Prof & Devilwalk kinda notice it too because often when Chad just talks over others/interrupts, they lowkey smile or give a subtle facial expression of "not this shit again". chad dud pls chill and let the others freely finish their sentences and do the socially nice thing and at least act like you're ACTUALLY listening to the other 3 people in the call.
The show is meant to be me talking for 2 hours straight with 3 people watching. Shame we haven't reached this balance yet. I will endeavour to talk even more in the future!
Loved the episode. Devilwalk added a lot to every topic. Sadge that my comment linking to my blog post on some csgo analysis got deleted. Feels bad man. No self promotion I suppose. 🙃
having lived in malta i am always apalled whenever i remind myself that all these tournament's are happening there. The hotel is located next to a trash dump for fucks sake! Spunj was right, there are no good contractors in malta.
tbh you guys are kinda focusing a lot on the negative ppl in this community without jobs, most of us are normal people not commenting the bs. Love the podcast but just saying.
G2 missing the major seems like an anomaly imo and I wouldnt think much of it beyond "hey that sucks". I thought they were like guaranteed a spot or some shit? Astralis missing the major is indicative of some fundamental flaw in how they play. I seems like an IGL thing tbh. they have been garbage for a while. dropping Konfig probably doesnt help things. Glaive and Farlig were probably the smoking guns but I think its fair to give farlig some more time because swapping players every month is probably worse.
There have been SO many flaws in SO many G2 rosters, but this is the first time that their result seemed to be mostly down to really, really shitty luck. They felt so much more positive, a lot more free to work with their individual styles. Such a shame, and I'm not even a G2 fan!
G2's current roster is a good roster, they just need to bootcamp. They went in overconfident, with everyone saying theyve got a chance to win the major.
@@sammya7117 Luck had nothing to do with it, it was all about their fragile mentality. The moment things started to go against them, they started to hesitate on the server and by the time it started to look like they might lose and pressure started mounting, they were completely paralyzed. Playing with that kind of lack of mental fortitude they were bound to lose to anyone who could even remotely challenge them.
@@romaliop well said. I would add that they tried to cover this by smiles and saying "we have good athmosphere now". As sad it may sound, in highest lvl of sports, its not really fun most of the time..
@@atamooni6969 Yeah and all the memeing etc. was pretty dumb in hindsight, just additional pressure for the lineup to succeed to validate the changes they made.
Recent undefeated Pro league winner lost to BiG Bo1 and Heroic in Bo3 and missed out on Legends spot. I can't view that as took care of bussines. They manage to qualify pretty easily but they underperformed just slightly.
any team can lose a bo1, and they were playing nonstop since epl so probably they were very tired in the heroic game. they played like shit. shouldve won it ofc but i think its understandable
the way astralis had to make a statement about konfig was cause konfigs actions, in combination with the modern internet we have, and all this cancel stuff. not disregarding konfigs mistakes, but they have to make this statement to clearly distance from his actions. to keep the brand unharmed from his private wrongdoings. especially when it is at a tournament venue, it is also astralis matter.
Complexity played some very good Counter Strike, very sadge they didnt make it with how crazy they were playing. It kind of makes me wish that they would change the format so that the Americas had 8 spots instead of the current 6. I feel like it may be out of date now that the NA and SA scenes have both rebuilt, the current format bottlenecks the Americas too hard. I think making the Americas have 8 spots and EU being 7x2 instead of 8x2 could be a solution but thats just my idea while coping, either way we're gonna get to see some really good counterstrike being played by everyone.
I must admit Striker is such a funny guy. 54:33 he says that Niko was always in a position to win major and it's a big blow he didn't make it for the 12th time in a row, but that's the thing Striker! He had so many chances, teams were build around him, they even got him his cousin like he wanted and he still can't make it through the RMR . Let face it here, he was always overrated and people who still wait for Niko to deliver will not live to see it.
Niko is not overrated, he is the most consistent rifler of all time. It took s1mple more tries than niko has had to win a major, don't write him off just because you're biased.
@@mafaju9818 im not totally agreeing that he is overrated but if you think the value he brings to his teams, i think he is overrated. If you think guys like ropz, yekindar, spinx for example. After them joining, their team has played in next lvl. Nikos teams arent never in that lvl even he personally puts on numbers. This is team game after all and its not just about frags in tier1.
If you watched the major where g2 reached final..Niko literally carried the team on his back. This is coming as an unbiased opinion. Niko is one of the most consistent players of that lineup
@@uditgoel6925 emmm did i just said in tier1 its more than just fragging..? If you watch what niko has won, even he puts on numbers, there isnt a lot. If you watch what glaive have won, even he dont put same numbers, its everything and multiple times.
@@JakYTTV Correct. The highest seed is matched with the lowest seed at each stage of the Swiss system format and by design should have the easiest route. Faze won the previous major so they had the highest seed.
HLTV doesn't know about cs go, if a team wins a tournament they are automatically the best in the world. It should come as no surprise after zyWho's top 2 steal from NiKo...
basically spunj: "none of you have ever been in competitive weight lifting. its only been 2 months. give some him time and this 45kg guy will lift as much as the 200kg guys." bruh do u have to be a pro to know hooxi can't just hang in a world class team? support that shit roster move more.
funny how much spunj excuses g2’s performance now that he has successfully lobbied his best friend into the team. if aleksib had failed to qualify… jesus christ, there would be no end to the ”criticism” and slander.😂😂

I'm pretty sure NIP will be: Aleksib, REZ, Hampus, Brollan and Mantuu
mantuu would be sick, he showed that even though he didnt play t1 cs team before, he still showed that he can play good cs with og :D
i like Mantuu as a person, but i hate his AWPing style
And who would be the supportive element? Aleksi?
Idk why nip just doesnt get nawwk back, he was carrying playing super well, the only person who could have replaced him was device
@@1ukzje yea he got fucked so hard, dev2ce joined and he took a break and nawwk lost his chance because of him so unlucky...
The last question is incorrect?
G2 is basically a modern day faze.
Konfig has his story backed up by multiple witnesses who saw the thing
other showmatch idea if they can pull it off: LG vs Neymar's money crew
