@@mindbodyesports Hi Mr. Edward Cleland. I, Reed Samples, admire your work and am interested to learn more if I could; getting to speak with you over email or call would be a great experience for me! I have been aware of your presence in the esports scene since your stint at 100 Thieves, and would like to hear your thoughts on topics regarding your work. There are certain strategies you employ that I disagree with, but I cannot deny the outcomes/successes of some of the teams you have worked with. I would love to hear your thoughts on topics including but not limited to: exercises you use with teams and players, your philosophy education (formal or informal study), good physical and mental and connection/relationshsip conditions, how your psychology education and affected your thoughts on group environments, your experience as a player in a competitive team-based activity, and team environments that are conducive to success and how many different optimal environments there are. I have experience in a competitive team-based activity, where we were one of the top teams in the circuit we competed in. I am now a coach in the activity as well as giving individual coaching sessions to students. I also am minoring in philosophy and feel that my study of it has greatly enhanced my thoughts on just about everything, including the competitive mindset. If you would be willing, I would love to get the opportunity to chat with you about your work. My email is linked in the description of my TH-cam channel (having more steps to traverse helps decrease spam).
What an awesome video, just finished it and it's amazing to see the personal relationships being emphasized in a time where other teams would often just be scrimming. Team dynamics are so important and with the firepower Liquid has, I've got high hopes for the upcoming year.
Edward is the absolute best in the business and I was so lucky to spend time with him. This team is starting off right and the sky is the limit. Awesome video!
i fucking love how cadian popped off after the car like after he/teammate clutches or a match is won, makes time spent so much more fun and rewarding when people around you get hyped like this.
I stopped watching Team Liquid CS when the grand slam team disbanded. This present squad is bringing me back to more Liquid CS. Looking forward to all the ups and downs with this team, all the comebacks, chokes and trophies coming up. #LetsgoLiquid
Such a emotionally charged episode. Many teams don't have that friendship between their players and staff and just treat themselves like colleagues which I can see it being very good way to burn out after the hard days. All of you looked like such a close friends after that car was out of the sand that I think the future will be bright.
Incredible man, coming from an old head where we might not ever even meet our teammates until the event itself to orgs, bootcamps, teambuilding retreats, ect. It's been insane to witness the transformation within esports as a whole. I of course came up as a Halo kid, started back in 02. But I always had a love for CS, played it a handful of times, being a Halo kid, lack of a proper rig, and impatience towards learning M&K kept me away. However I have kept up with and watched almost every event since the release of CSGO, some people watch football or soccer. I watch CS and there is nothing else like it to me. Watching a grand final in a sold out arena with nothing but super passionate fans and the best in the world playing their hearts out is just something that is hard to replicate much less explain.
Can't wait to see this team in action. What a solid group of guys. Edit: I posted this comment before seeing what Edward is doing as a part of the team. This is some INSANE mental health prioritization and harm prevention, and I'm super happy to see this sort of human-based team building. Anyone that looks down on E-Sports for being silly or unimportant should watch this. It's never been about the game, it's been about a community of people that classically have been looked down on for something seen as childish, coming together and building real-world IMPORTANT friendships. Keep getting the car out of the sand, boys.
Oh man, that was beautiful. I have always admired Team Liquid,despite some of their bat times. But now, all cards came together. The roster, the coach,the mentor - everything. I am gonna cheer for you all the time , good luck!
seeing that one talk one silent exercise, they start back to back, gradually they're sitting next to each other and then in the end are comfortable enough that they're face to face and sharing deep parts of who they really are, that's incredible to see. This team is creating an incredible foundation.
What a journey being a Liquid fan has been and as a long time fan this has to be the most exciting chapter for the team. So much maturity and chemistry that's on display and we haven't even seen them play yet! Amazing video 👍
I hope more orgs are able to do things like this. It's so important as esports grows that we learn from traditional sports for setting up teams & players for success. Nothing comes easy, everything at the top is hard-earned. I'm looking forward to 2024!
Wow it was great to see some of the emotion and the guys wearing their heart on their sleeve. I’d imagine so many esports teams must fall apart because gamers don’t like showing emotions and being vulnerable. These look like good foundations and I can’t wait to see how it reflects in the server
This team has a big potential, on a personal look of things you guys look amazing, but I know you can show the same strength also on a server. GL Liquid
Content like this is fantastic. I hope you folks continue to produce and release stuff like this in the future. Really helps build empathy for what the team and esports players in general go through!
This is what cs teams should do, show us fans true behind the scenes. Whitout any filters or interviews, just pure freedom and how they act as a team outside the game
84k views in a day, I hope this opens the door to this type of content being more common and more frequent. Thanks for sharing this is a wonderful video and I am excited for team liquid cs again :)
im so glad to be present to witness the start of a legacy, this team is absolutely more then a family, thank you Liquid, every video show how this org is really somenting else , in a e-sport world where money seems to take the lead, team Liquid again show, what a true team connection is made of, people. Really thanks liquid, let's conquer 2024 #letsgoliquid
Doing a retreat is such a good idea. If you’ve never been on a retreat, it’s amazing how much it can have a lasting impact on your relationships with everyone there.
Im so excited for this line up. As Twistzz said, Cadian is the person that can light up the fire in all these great players and push them to the limit and show what they are capable of. Wish you all the best and cant wait to see you on the server!
this gets me even more excited to see them in action! that car in the sand scenario is such an awesome, real way to build the team stronger and to get to watch it was beautiful.
You guys are aware that you have all the best pieces to accomplish great things together. Remember what you lived during the retreat, it will only help you to become one of the best team ever. Good luck guys
I didn't really know anyone on this team other than Twistzz and Cadian. But just knowing they were both on this team, I knew it was special. I'm so excited to start supporting this Liquid. Good Luck Gentlemen! Stay awesome
some of my favorite people in the scene and they’re all showing how good of guys they are here, very interesting to see how these personalities expose themselves and mesh together, and especially exciting to see how they will perform in the server!
Man, this looks so good for team bonding. I hope this team performs and makes NA people actually come to believe in NA again. This shit almost brought me to tears
Dude getting Cadian is gonna be soooo good. honestly so happy you did. I am a liquid fan, but A lot of my ''fandom'' is with the roster, the players themselves. and now you've gone and gotten my all time favourite player
Just feel like Liquid hasen't been this serious since 2019, it's been so long we watched this team go up and down, sincerely hope we can turn things around from now on. Let's go Liquid!
I have been a fan of Team Liquid ever since Team Cursed merged with Liquid back in 2015 when I watched League of Legends primarily. Since then I’ve followed through all of the ups and downs with Liquid and never once had an ounce of thought to stop fully supporting them. My entire steam profile has been team Liquid forever and I even have a $200 Stock AK with all liquid stickers and about $300-$400 worth of stock Liquid stickers on all of my guns on CS. Love you guys and this video was absolutely amazing and heartwarming! #Liquid
excellent video thepart where twistzz was emotional when talking bout zews departureback then hit me, cause i realised how much of a figure zews was in 2018 liquid and howit shapped them to find success
This was really interesting to watch, clearly a very vulnerable time for these guys who otherwise probably want to put on the 'cool' exterior. I'm sure you guys will do great going forward!
Im a long time C9 fan but this new Liquid Lineup makes me VERY invested in Liquid now. Casper is a great player and leader, alongside Twistz and the rest of the gang i have high hopes that they will bring Victory to NA and Liquid! This is the first time im saying this and hopefully not the last; but GO LIQUID!
*Caster Voice* The new Team Liquid, they dug their car out of that ditch in Amsterdam... Now let's see if they can dig themselves out of this 5 round deficit on Inferno.
Keith and Russ sitting there on the beach, being told to share about themselves to their partners. Great exercise but those guys already know each other so well lol!
bro, that one got me, so emotional🤧 I am gonna truly cheer for the Team Liquid! Does guys will be insane! Great players, great mental work and THE most important thing - GREAT PEOPLE! GL TL💦❤
Im actually so excited to see this team flourish and see waht it becomes. I havent been this excited in such a long time espeically for my fav of all teams and finally being avble to cheer on whilst knowing we have a fighting chance.
I am so stoked to see Cadian, having powerhouses like Twistz, Yekinder etc in his team and behind his back is beyond awesome and I‘m so excited to see what the future brings for team liquid. everyone in the lineup is ready for playing and evolving and I believe that this team can achieve greatness 🎉
This was an incredible vlog. Seeing Twistzz open up to Zews was touching and I love whenever I get to see the ‘behind the scenes’ of esports players/teams
As someone who has been through a couple of these types of courses as being part of a leadership team, it is always fun seeing others go through it. But I do look forward to see how well this will go, I really hope it will go well, sepcially since I am a bit of a of a Cadian fanboy
so excited to follow this team's progress, best of luck guys, cheering for you all!
love u nart
+respect
Glad to see one of the best cs creators supports one of the best orgs
Thank you! We'll be watching your nade lineup tutorials to save time at the bootcamp :P
@@TeamLiquidCS please make sure to cook up some new ones too 😉
Love Edward as their Performance/mental coach, dude's got a great reputation and CV with 100T and G2!
i know that RUSH works at MindBody Esports too, idk what his job actually is, but it’d be really cool to see him work with Liquid too
Thank you 🙏

G2 sure look like they need a new mental coach, they seem like tilters especially Niko
Powerful sessions. Twistzz talking to Zeus and being so vulnerable is heart warming. Got a good feeling about this Liquid squad!
I just remember zews comforting twistzz in that new york final vs mouse. it really comes full circle.
yeah, that make me cry... Never spected...
This team makes me so happy! Thanks for the vlog :) Hoping for some great performances in 2024

What an emotional episode. So proud of everyone involved in fully committing into this project. We will achieve great things ♥#LetsGoLiquid
Wow amazing team building strategies. The way he purposely got the car stuck so the team could learn to work together. Fucking genius.
i fucking love how cadian popped off after the car like after he/teammate clutches or a match is won, makes time spent so much more fun and rewarding when people around you get hyped like this.
i swear id never be sad a day in my life if i had cadian in my life
real shit bro@@shylo3579
No he's terrible.. cadian can do no right after what he's done.. he's scum
TL CS embracing and normalizing positive male experiences and open communication 💙 I’m rooting for and looking forward to the team!
Yeah! Perfect example of "Show. Don't tell"!

Never tought I would be in the verge of tears from a TEAM LIQUID video. I guess everything is possible. LETS GO LIQUID TOP1 2024

Thank you for subtitling the video in PT-br. We, Team Liquid fans here in Brazil, thank you from the bottom of our hearts. LET'S GO!
Man seeing Kieth and Russ together just feels right. Can't wait to support you guys through this journey!
Such a emotionally charged episode. Many teams don't have that friendship between their players and staff and just treat themselves like colleagues which I can see it being very good way to burn out after the hard days.

This is insanely insightful into the social aspects behind counterstrike, something feels special about this team, lets go TL!!!
7:15 JOKASTEVEEEEE 💙 Real ones feel the same way as Mareks, been the behind the scenes backbone for YEARS. We love you man.

God damn how can you not be a fan of this team after the story leading up but now this? So open and honest and emotional.
2:36 "The Great Gig In The Sky" fits perfectly to the chaos in the room :D
LOOOOL -- so true!!
👌
I have never wished for a team to succeed as much as I do for this Liquid roster. Looks like a great start, and hopefully it leads to many trophies.
Man, I’m speechless
This team is going to be my favorite
So happy to see that line up together! Can't wait to see them in action!
