awesome video bro please keep covering lesser known talents

Very interesting. Nertz was one just of my eyetest that i rated around 20th so i dont immediatly disagree with the premise and mathematical analysis is always convenient for generating objective opinions. I think for the integrity of a system like this its important that dm isnt too high, but honestly i would rather have it too high than too low. Cause certain players like XertioN are very important to team succes and someone like JKS, less so. So I think experiementing in a summary document with different dm rating formulas that can be created could be interesting. I get that its a "arbitrary/subjective" number, but I think creating a rating system, could be a more objective way to do it. Maybe incorportating Prize Money and how unforgiving a format is (a factor how second chances in a tournament, For example overqualifying in a 2-2 game at the RMR compared to a 0-0 game at the RMR.) So it would effectively be a weighted multiplier of a bunch of different stats. But thats a f-load of work, so understandable if you dont wanna do it. For this purpose I would say the eye test is fine. Excited to see the results.

Awesome work man. Love this. But I think the weightings are way too simple. I think most organizations follows where there is most money + them having the highest probability of winning the money (meaning less teams are in the event maybe?). I also think the most important event are based on how many viewers there are for the events (general popularity of each event). In short, the weighting should in my opinion be based on the money in the event, likelyhood of each org winning, the viewership of the event (likely correlated with the money of the event). I want to hear more of your thoughts on this. I am critical to to your weightings because they are such a central part of your rating-system, so if the weightings are not correct, then the whole system does likely not work as good as it could be. Anyway, awesome work, this really falls into my interest.

so based

very Interesting!

Very nice initiative! Can't wait to see your final ranking!

Really good video, LFN CS brought up the same topic recently as well wtf

Please do falcons video next for roster !

no, i can consistently lose the first 12 rounds on T just as well as on CT

You should do this for other rosters. Maybe NA next so like a Liquid or Complexity rebuild?

yo man, great video, for real, very entertaining since the beginning, you have talent, keep it up!

good video bro, but it sounds like your reading off a script a little robotic.

It’s crazy to think that G2 has had 2 of the greatest awpers ever and give them both mid teammates (besides Niko)

just out of curiosity, snax is under a lot of pressure but if hunter retires do you think g2 will keep snax bc of the vrs or do you think g2 will say fuck it and do a full rebuild around m0nesy and malbs

G2 is one of the best players in the world in m0nesy

how do i change the bg to the black? so i didn't like the gambling sites

build a super team around m0NESY. one of the best players in the world... g2 wasting m0NESY prime if they don't

great analysis!

even across the country this is a great video! :)

I think the main issue is the AK being way too strong in its current form and Valve need to add an alterniative to the AK. Not sure what it needs to be more balanced but 30 rounds, 600rpm and one hit hs at any distance for 2700 is just crazy considering the ct-s have basically no real weapon against it even the m4a4 is far from it. Not sure what, maybe an ak74 with faster rpm like 650 or more but without the one hit hs ability more like a stronger m4, and making the ak47 slower rpm like 550 with 25 round mags better recoil and keep the one tap ability. I think increasing the CT money wont solve most of the issues, especially not the peekers advantage + a cheap one tap rifle that for some reason having way too much running headshots too in cs2.

Watching this right after Shanghai grand final, fml

-vert + train Buff famas Also, me personally dislike anubis, so i will change it for over

I would like to see Valve remove mirage. I am sick of this map. Every matchmaking every premiere people in lower elo only mirage and mirage. I am tired of this map and as soon as I see the whole team on premiere choose mirage what do I do? alf+f4 and I have a week off from CS.

Agreed, +cobble and +train

Knock the A1-S to $2700. It shouldn’t be more expensive than the AK when the AK does more headshot, body, and limb damage with more armor pen and 10 more rounds per mag. Instantly helps CT economy who already has a bigger buy with defuse kit.

not sure if you will read this comment but you might turn down the music a bit, while you are talking. If you want to go fancy, search for something like audio ducking or sidechain compression, so your background music gets reduced in volume when you speak. Just my two cents ;) Great video!

i reakon its t sided

Nah based on my faceit experience it is only depending on the team you got. Sure do you play 5 stack it might be T-sided due to the fact that you can make perfect splits to bombsites with utlity. But a average faceit game with randoms it is only 50% chance that you get a team that are able to communicate and hence have a successful T side. Def 50/50 for average player.

Loss bonus should be adjusted for the CT side. It's too easy for the Ts to snowball and for the CTs to be ecoing / forcing too often.

why not have a larger comp map pool, wish they did that for r6, it had 7 for a long time and it only rewarded unprepared teams, has 9 for the last couple years and is much better but honestly should be brought to 11 or even 13. whats the reasoning for CS not having this? is it really too much to practice? i doubt it as an ex pro

If they remove vertigo, bir i will make an entire podcast and multiple revolutions to make it come back

Not covering Cluj-Napoca and the collapse vs NIP is missing context. TSM had cleanly Won PGL Season 1 with 2-0 sweeps against Fnatic and VP Twice and looked convincing in the groups. They also somehow managed to draw a bracket that was DESTINED for the final, with Fnatic (two time reigning major champion s), VP (Dubai invitational champions) and Envyus (DH London and Gfinity Champs) all on the other side of the bracket. All they had to do was beat an NIP side they had battered on every occasion and was a dead lineup, and a Navi side they had handled on plenty of occasions and was in a bad run of form to make it to the final.

The headset dents are crazy

HOW CAN CS2 BE t SIDED WHEN U CANT EVEN SHOOT THE ENEMY?

Really great storyline coverage right before a legacy-defining event for karrigan, great video!

great video, Ive never seen that timeout against fnatic either haha

funny how on wingman ct usually has a big advantage and on maps like nuke or inferno its really hard to win if you start as ct and enemy wins one or two rounds in the first half

I think CT guns also need a bit of a shakeup too, for certain the Famas and maybe aug.

They should remove Mirage from the game completely and replace it with Train

They should bring back one M4, 30 round clips, toggle silencer, like in the old days. It was already balanced pretty well against the AK, so it was an unnecessary change other than “more guns more skins to monetize”. And the Famas is ass! Galil can compete against the M4, but the Famas cannot go toe-to-toe against the AK at all. Make it where the 3-round burst is competitive please.

I bet valve is wating for cache to be finished to make map pool changes

Look, I am just a silver player, but I love inferno. Why is it so disliked?

really excellent video! good presentation of data and some interesting hypothesized conclusions without suggesting "this is DEFINITELY happening because of X and Y"

Train and Cobblestone haven't been played for far too long to estimate anything on how they would fare in CS2 environment. I like the idea of shaking the map pool, but maybe introducing only one of them to see how it goes is preferable.

Inferno and Vertigo are disliked?????? I haven't played for like 4 years but inferno was like match other than Dust 2 and Mirage. It was peak. Cache was the best though, it must be popular.

I think a lot of this was written by ChatGPT.

Fuck you for saying inferno should be removed

The game should be slightly t sided, it prevents turtling and makes for more dynamic game.

If you look at win rate vs ranks throughout the years, the lower your rank, the higher the T-side win rate. Albeit the balance for top tear players and pros is different for the meta.

I think you're going about this the wrong way by focusing exclusively on the top tier professional players. I think a focus on the average player is more needed as they are the majority of the playerbase and whom Valve should be focusing on.
