btw, these timestamps aren't perfectly synced up, but i'll comeback later to do that so bear with them for now, you may have to go back 10 seconds or so for each to get the beginning
Cheers mate! And again me with the question: they never talked about Navis global final win, did they? I m wondering a bit about that, it was a 1 mil tournament after all and the end of the whole 2020 season...
Anybody with some life experience will tell you that being a stand up guy is hard, due to the massive amounts of snakes in this world, thats why I will always appreciate & respect the work that you do Richard. Wish you both nothing but the best.
Not only is it friday, it's also Return of by the Numbers time! Awesome start to a great weekend! A big thank you to all the three of you for the show - always a step up on the mood scale when an episode is uploaded.
The stories about this Arbalet figure I'd never heard of before. Would love to hear more, or at least about that old article that's vanished into the nether. Was he a mobster, shady businessman, etc?
NA cs is getting to such a sad point... breaks my heart... I wish I could help get it back on track but its one of those moments where you don't know where to start... as someone who watches all of the vods and is privy to the meta current and previous... may even have some takes going forward but I'm also smart enough to know what I don't know... all the NA scene needs is better guidance and IGL's but... there is literally no way possible to even be noticed outside of being a fragger... there has to be better ways of getting people with talent a chance not only as players but coaches I have been a H.S. Soccer coach for 10 years and also do Sports writing across Basketball, Football, Baseball, Hockey, Soccer, played counter strike 1.6 as a kid... Love the show guys and can't wait until I have enough money to ask you questions that are actually relevant and not about silly jokes... p.s. very much so enjoy hearing you guys talk about american sports because more often than not are actually pretty on point...
i believe the negev is a prime weapon to be abused hard. it costs only 1700 and is basically a laser after a few shots. i believe there are many CT spots where it can be crazy OP in the hand of a pro. matchmaking was unplayable for one day when they changed the spray and price. everybody was using it
Since Twistzz has left Liquid, I think it would make for an interesting follow-up Thorin's thoughts to the Liquid-Astralis choking video comparing the post choking period of Liquid and Astralis. Specifically how the success of Liquid has been way less than Astralis despite suffering more during the choking period.
@@neues3691 I think I saw that and if I am not wrong he mentioned something he is going to bring up about it on BTN. Also it seems that this statment "too big" to not be talked about on this podcast.
@@RLewisReports “I want people to know that I did have the decision to like, stay you know. If I wanted to be on the Liquid lineup, I’d be there right now. It was my choice to step away and start something new.” That’s a direct quote from Twistzz in the interview you did with him on Rivalry. I won’t try to argue with you because you are more knowledgeable of the scene and things that have gone on, but he said that at like 49:00 in the Rivalry interview. So you can see why I would’ve thought that.
The only broken thing about deagle is the close range spray precision and damage. 2 fast shots with deagle kill faster than an AK spray while and long range deagle also kill with one shot. That's the problem of deagle, the weapon was supposed to be strong only at mid-long range headshot advantage while sacrificing the advantage in close range that a five-seven could give.
Im so sad for hunter, he seemed like he was on course to be a star player like Niko but with none of the character flaws - he just seems like a great person, teammate and player. Im sure he hasnt reached his full potential level yet and im worried this new G2 is going to set back his development
42:20 while I can agree that s1mple is not completely being shut down by Astralis, I do not agree they in general Astralis does not shut s1mple or other good players down. Look at s1mples rating compared to most other of the big teams here: www.hltv.org/stats/players/opponents/team/7998/s1mple . Nobody shuts simple down, but don't tell me that they're not better than most and not what must be done to shut down a player like him.
Or maybe snappi, who is 30 and never has won anything will pull of something magical. About the AUG meta, I kinda like it, since the game isn't build around it. Variance is good, diff is bad
if apex takes a break shox has to igl in this lineup tbf nivera and misuta are rookies zywoo is a superstar and you don't want to fuck with his game and rpks entire game is stand perfectly still holding a single angle and also get p250 kills
Timestamps below, always appreciate you, Thorin and Sam for taking time out of your busy schedules to give us the most fire CSGO podcast
Alice the ace!

Pay no attention to the man behind the curtain
He's the Wizard of Banelor.

Soo glad the Deman thumbnail wasn't cut out of the vod haha
Just saw Thorins "grilled" interview with Richard in 2013, would be great to have him react to that and talk about how things have changed since then.
34:22 - That hard cut when Thorin's about to say some mad shit. I now really want to know what he said!
2:09:11 I like how Thorin nods seriously to Richards statement there
Really like the idea of the 4 horsemen talk show.
Since when did the episode number become a hashtag? Is this youtube's doing?
?
@@RLewisReports The "#146" is highlighted blue and clicking it sends me to a list of youtube videos with the hashtag 146. Haven't seen that before.
@@RLewisReports it's a clickable link to other youtube videos with #146 in the title
Doesn't do that for me. YT has been implementing a bunch of changes over the past few days so maybe something broke hashtags in titles.

Haven’t had power in a week. This is just what I needed
Thank you so much lads!
You can't overestimate how much a something regularly fun and familiar helps a lot of people in these dire times, me included.

What? EG and liquid are both really good. Cloud9 aren't too bad. Back in the day there was only one good team lol

Best podcast hands down.
Every time thorin gets a jump cut an angel gets it wings lol
1:07:55 device absolutely beside himself that he hasn't already done this
Time to hit the gym while I listen to these gems.
Thorin what happens if i do know?
Niko is the charles barkley of CSGO
BTN another good day to be alive!

I love these podcasts
Did I miss some of the episodes or did they not talk about Valve's punishment for coaches on BTN?
@@neues3691 I think I saw that and if I am not wrong he mentioned something he is going to bring up about it on BTN. Also it seems that this statment "too big" to not be talked about on this podcast.
was one of the match fixed matches the coL vs mouz game?
1:00:00 Just to be clear, Twistzz didn’t get kicked, he left. He did have the option to stay on the team. Point still stands though.
No.

i wonder if they plan on using any of the horsemen art from the tsm crusade video some of them looked really cool
Sam smoking on that og flusha
completely agree with Thorin, HLTVs confirmed interviews are terrible
1:54:00 Moses' brother marooned himself for like a week last year, he'd probably have a pretty good chance just from being tangentially related
Another banger!
Ex6tenz is not a coach, but is actually a player for NiP Valorant. He changed his name to akukhoS and they just beat G2 to qualify for masters.
Richard's planning on living to his hundreds? For some reason I never got that impression from all his stories.
I don't think he had plans of living to his hundreds when he was younger. 😂
Coach having to play? Like Astralis going through groups to quarter finals with a standing Gla1ve and Zonic.
Classic btn fire podcast
