@@Ethiixx sorry he didnt use the best self defense technique, pulling out your phone, recording and being a docile beta male letting the agressor make a bitch out of you
Exactly. I don't know what's the hate about RL and Thorin. They being the most fun and shoot the most straight. Too many snowflakes in the scene who can't take it. We need RL and Thorin on the desk more. Bleh was good too!
Absolutely nailed the hosting gig, brother. Made the viewing experience so much more enjoyable. Can't wait to see you back at the desk hosting future tournaments, perhaps with Thorin and Maui as analysts, ohhhh, what a treat that would be!
The cut at 31:00 is just a further example of the fact that we are missing out by not paying Richard to do a CS version of Charlie Brookers Weekly Wipe
Top class desk work at the major Richard; it was clear how much work you were putting in every day. Having you hosting the final was the cherry on top of the event.
I know you're seeing tons of these comments but I just want to say that I really loved seeing you back on the desk. I tuned into every single pre-game and analyst segment that you were on just to hear you on the desk. You really make these desks feel alive and interesting, and of course your co-hosts and sjokz did great work as well. The banter was also great, as one would expect from you. I hope to see you on the desk again soon! Keep being you
that's norbert, norbert never gets the rifle. role: drop everything. edit: man the yekindar situation is so fucking sad too, he's benchmade right now and it's allll because he thought he was ready to take over. he needed at least 3-5 more years to develop. i hope he recovers because he's unplayable when he's locked in.
Was watching Ohnepixels stream on the last day of the major and when you were on stream it was both hilarious and awkward as hell haha. Ohne was just like 'I'll take it' You did a great job Richard and you should honestly be invited back every major. Felt the nostalgia at this event for sure even though it was the first CS2 major.
@@HahsJeje Mostly because none of my friends are really interested in esports and it's the next best thing to watching with them lol. Also, I'm into skins, which I know Richard hates, but it is what it is lmao. Ohne has proven he's bigger than just skins though so I think Richard is a bit wrong about him, but disagreements are what make the world improve.
I didn't think I'd see you hosting another major after Stockholm, but you are still -- along with sjokz -- one of the best hosts out there. I usually skip over the desk segments but this time they were enjoyable!
Was so happy to see you at the major richard you did a great job as always ! and good to see astralis being called out on their bs! used to be a die hard astralis fan but they really showed their true colors after things went sour.
So happy to refresh my timeline and see a new video From yourself. Great video and continuing to spit F A C T S, I loved the desk work you did at the major genuinely my favourite major since Columbus so thank you for taking the job cause i've missed your desk work! Can't wait to see whats next up Much love
Love to yourself and the rest of the talent at the Major, first I've watched in years and enjoyed it more than the arsenal synchronised bus parking event thats for sure.
Jame is a good IGL and a consistent awper , he has a system in place to keep VP a top 10 team consistently without being a partner team . Device wants that system to do the same with Astralis .
I agree with what you are saying except maybe one thing. When you talked about igl not being fun, i mean some players like a lot that aspect of the game, i know they are in a job environment and it’s more stressful but i can still see players enjoying that more than fragging alone. Idk if for device is the same cuz it can probably be a lie but making that as an absolute i think it’s not completely correct
Tbh the scene should go the same route that f1 have where if you dodge your duties to do interviews you/your org should be fined. Organizers live off making great tournaments and tournaments will suffer if players can just say no to interviews.
BlameF could literally stay on the team and become a rifler. Hes been carrying Astralis. Stavn, Stabbi, staehr have been underwhelming to say the least.
He might be able to do starladder/pgl events when they come to the calendar next year and maybe blast events if hes interested but there is no way in hell that esl will let him host .
38:40 this happens in so many games and teams, for example furia in vct (valorant) every roster has been built by mwzera, it happened in liquid CS, it happens in every single team in overwatch, some people really just don’t have it in them to build rosters and shouldn’t have a opinion on it at all because some actual creatures have gotten chances at these teams and absolutely shit the bed in the most embarrassing ways possible
@@connerstanley5151 mate it goes way back before this video, honestly wasn't even talking about this as a reason why. Keep jumping to conclusions though. Idiot
@@connerstanley5151still the things that are confirmed are quite bad behavior. The tweet in the middle of the rmr saying you dont have fun playing the game? The fact the RMR exit interview he denied to do it?
@@Frog-2001 The IGL or the coach should be doing the interviews since they are the leaders of the team and no one cares about the tweet. It's not a big deal, the only reason you're upset about it is because Richard was talking about it.
@@connerstanley5151 Only you don't care about the tweet which is why you specifically have to comment that you DONT care. Everybody else thinks its ridiculous that a teams star player, and moreover device who's one of the greatest awper in cs history, the one who is supposed to perform at a high level plays like crap, and publicly says hes not having fun playing in the team which just means hes blaming the way astralis played cs, in hltv confirmed he even said it he didn't like how blameF lead the team. that tweet was also a stepping stone into putting device as the igl instead of finding one, which will be another couple embarrassing tournaments and maybe a quarter or semis for one tournament.
No team owes you an interview let them play the game and have fun if they want , it’s sad that media is this hungry and think it’s there right to make someone get an interview… media doesn’t make this game go around
I wnat to say; Loved seeing you at de desk again. I also want to say, that even though I agree with you, more often than not, I don't think that Device needs the bad blanter. Nott yet, at least. He HAVE been under Glave, he HAS been under Zonic. All the three years, that Blame has been on the roster. To me, it's completely OK to a guy like Device, Niko, Duppe or who ever has been in th elong game, to say, they are not satisfied. BUt then comes the prove. I don't see Device as a huge fan of Jame. Really not. I don't take that too seriously. And if we compare a bit to Jame, versus Blame playstyle, and what he has said in interviews, we can esily let that fall back. I totally do agree with everything else. I'm danish, ind since Asger, I found them .. Too disrespectful. I have not cheered for them. I've talked about giving them a chance, time after time. Specially, aftter Kasper. Never had a good thing to say. And even my dad, who does not follow the scene, had a feeling about it all being wrong. My dad is a pretty well observed kind of man, but yet still... My last straw is on Devve to prove that building up an Astralis Scrapbook may be right, it's my very6 last strive to be a pure-danish fan. And that hurts a lot! Again, I agree to most what you're saying. Not gonna fill ya mouth.
37:06 Wait are we supposed to pretend ex6tenz and nitr0 were bad IGLs? ex6 is probably the best francophone IGL and nitr0 is EASILY the best north american IGL ever.
@@B0bB0b1nskiWon a Major with a terrible C9 and recreated success at EG, including stomping prime Astralis at New York. Meanwhile nitr0 had a fluke 60 day purple patch.
G2 doesn’t look like they can afford to go search for another igl right now, so I don’t know they would release hooxi since he’s the only igl that got them to win anything.

You were amazing on the desk Richard, really hope they bring you back more!!
It was great to see you at the Major, commenting before and after the matches. Keep up the good work.
Being able to listen to the desk between maps in the arena made the experience 10x than that Paris major, you guys killed it
too bad pimp also had to speak, wish there was a mute button😂😂

Loved your hosting, now we can get back to Ricardo Castro the football manager mastermind
I really hope so
There is the brexit ball vods that has yet to be released
They took a calculated risk but turns out they were bad at math.
On a different note, was great to see you on the desk at the major!
First time I ever saw you on the desk, but you were great. Would be amazing to have you back for more.
Had no idea you'd be on the desk for the major, it was a lovely surprise. Fire video straight after it as well you fuckin legend.
40 minutes until football kick off, 40 min video. It was fated

Famous desk host of the first cs2 major RL. Good to see
You made the major have that little extra charm, keep it up man!
Was a nice surprise to tune in to PGL Copenhagen and see you in the desk RL ❤

Bravo on your work on the desk at the major Richard!
Amazing major!!!! Thank you so much for coming back!!!!

Hope to see you hosting at more events!

Jame is a good IGL and a consistent awper , he has a system in place to keep VP a top 10 team consistently without being a partner team . Device wants that system to do the same with Astralis .
So no one is gonna cheer for you anymore bc you kill the game with a suffocatingly boring playstyle, 5head.

Love seeing you at the PGL ❤
I love when I am being led in game by a player who is unfocused and not having fun.
Richard you were bloody brilliant on the desk. And thank you for feeding my delusion by picking G2 to win it all. Love you mate ❤❤❤
Another banger after doing a top class job at the desk, we are lucky to have RL in eSports

imagine if Kasper Straube and Stabbi just dip back to Heroic after nuking Astralis before 2025 that would've been the craziest triple cross ever
amazing interview at ohne's stream
Its ez to tear things down and very hard to build things up.
Richard Jame is the goat I want all the rounds all the maps thank you
Jame is the goat 🐐 best player
Great stuff as always Rich - Hope you recover well post Copenhagen
you should be thankful for the Astralis management as they provide you with free content
great stuff bro

Depends, do you ever stop lying yourself?
Will a bird ever stop shitting on my car window? Unfortunately not. And its equally as annoying
