I love when zonic claims he didn’t get the roster he wanted and that’s why the year was a failure, and the team he wants is legitimately best in slot for every role in the game 😂
twistzz was the type of player that drives action in rounds and had synergy with ropz for that reason. Somebody has to get info and create chances tactically. I don't think frozen has that same quality and ropz suffered as a result.
@@husky2961 Well it seems more like ropz wanted a roster change around april-may of 2025 for him to stay. FaZe management attempted to accommodate but couldn't get the players wanted due to contract complications mid season, and now ropz own contract expired and he wants to go elsewhere.
@ I simply cannot believe that’s the whole story. It’s inconceivable that they just…don’t talk to a player? Are you kidding? If the way twistzz tells it is true then damn that’s wild. But there has to be more. Some personal drama with Karrigan or something I don’t know.
Heroic getting ENCE back together to make Snappi play MORE open qualifiers is peak Sisyphus-ian outcome for the most vocal (valid) critic of the circuit
Comparing karrigan's journey from Boston to this day and then saying that Niko still has a lot of years ahead of him is quite bold. Karrigan could always fall back on his tactics and great mindset, but Niko will only get older, his reaction time will be slower, vast game experience will not work always (as we saw with legends phasing out of CSGO after monster performances as fraggers), when the other side have 3-4 good aimers and a decent IGL to counter you. Unless he can become or transform into a solid IGL in the coming years, I don't think he will have much success in getting a major - but let's see how it goes.
By himself I really doubt he'll win a Major, but if Falcons end up getting Monesy, I think it's only a matter of time until a Monesy peak is timed exactly for a Major.
The comment from Janko about Rain being able to pick up whatever the team needs and be a team player is why he has had so much success. You need top tier players that are also team minded. Rain is a legend for that role.
I don't think ropz has made any statements on why he left faze. He posted on his twitter account that Faze temperr came up with the "firepower" remark and that ropz never said those words or anything off the sort to the team or staff.
I want nertz to work in liquid. Would like to see them win some events this year. Hoping for good things for Elige too. Will be interested to see what heroic and C9 do. Very unenviable positions.
I'm a relatively new listener so apologies if I'm being an uninformed jackass and this has been talked about already: nothing on the Coffeezilla investigation? 13 million views calling out Valve and the betting sites. Worth a mention maybe.
if heroic got maden, snappi and rent s1mple they get the falcons most recent core. Surely they'll make enough money from all they made to rent s1mple temporarily.
Exactly, he fell off in the 2nd half of the year,but so did the team. He was probably top5 in the first half, same as the year before. You just can't find a player who's peak is that high. His KD also is among the best in the game. With Broky on his game, FaZe is bound to make finals
@andris1335 and he is definitely top 12 rn as spinx was ranked 13th. Who is better than broky. Sh1ro? Faze fans would leave the team if sh1ro comes for broky. Broky has a much higher ceiling especially under pressure
The thing with broky is not his skill, the thing is he is a coin flip, you either get the jawdropping goatky that will hit every impossible shot and clutch every round or you get botky who can’t even shot the easy awp shots, his problem rn is we are getting botky a lot more often than we are getting goatky
How can YNK say with a straight face that sh1ro is barely good enough to play second fiddle and couldn't carry a squad when he had Gambit and C9 on his back for all those years, taking names and putting up numbers. He was the main component of their success... literal goldfish memory
He had best stats in gambit because he is an awper. But don't get it wrong the whole gambit roster was good at the time. Since that roster broke down Shiro isn't bad but he is not at that level anymore and we could see that while he was being carried at major by almighty migixx
most recycling doesn't end up getting recycled and ends up in the ocean. we can't play CS anymore if our ecosystems no longer support life on earth. RIP in peace :(
starting the vid of with terrorism jokes right before usa has one of the biggest terrorist attacks in recent times has to be poorest luck in 2025 so far
m0NESY going to Vitality with Zywoo going to rifles seems the best solution for everyone, further more if as it has been said, Zywoo wanted to rifle more !
At Spunj, look how well it looks if a man has got a maintained beard. Moses looks really great and you look like homeless :-) Sorry, I cant help myself to comment :-)
K-yo-suh-kay said quickly with the u in suke not really pronounced, might actually be a good thing if he never makes it I won’t last a pro league hearing keyooosueeekiiii
@@asyl1m293I mean kyousuke is just a normal Japanese name it isn’t inherently weeb, I’m sure these guys all know Kyoto the famous Japanese city and that’s half the pronunciation
ynk is such a hindsight 2020 andy with his "faze management fumbled ropz transfer" take, and even then it doesn't make sense because he is imagining bestest case scenario just downgrade your best player mid season, and shorten lifespan of a working roster? without any obvious replacements, when all rosters are locked in, and then faze might not even get to the major themselves, or spend that million to buy a replacement? Teams get players for free all the time, that's how faze got ropz, frozen, kerrigan, and ELIGE in the first place.
@asyl1m293 but 1 year ago faze was best team in the world.. and im talking only about ropz, who knows what was happening with twistz when faze was going through all their legal issues at that time
We've seen teams replacing an anchor with an aggro rifler and flopping so many times, and yet our genius CS analysts keep eating the same shit over and over again. Sure, this time it's gonna be different. Put on some clown's red noses next time.
fun fact: there's more timestamps on this episode - (14), than games won by Falcons as a top 20 team against other top 20 teams (10) in 2024.
BUST IF YOU LOVE TALKING COUNTER

Happy New Years fellas (Petition to bring back the floating Thumbs Up icon appearing at random intervals throughout the episode)
Another great episode guys, and looking forward to the HLTV Awards next week!
Really like the graphics guys!
Imagine saying that Electronic and S1mple would be speedrunning ruining their legacy in 2025 would be a real thing.
love the timestamps
Hell yeah boys, cheers
loved the firework show
Shiro being borderline top 20 is a crazy statement. Give me 15 players better than him, then do the same thing without insane mental gymnastics.
He's not even the best on his team. And there's a lot of teams....
@@utm0st No shit his teammate is the best player of the year, sh1ro is very clearly top 10
Top 12 I could see it
@@utm0stso like Niko
@@utm0st You're telling me the major winners have more than one top 10 player on the roster... Mind blown🤯
NEW JERSEY MENTIONED 🎉🥳🎊
banger of an intro
Great video!
I don't think ropz has made any statements on why he left faze. He posted on his twitter account that Faze temperr came up with the "firepower" remark and that ropz never said those words or anything off the sort to the team or staff.
hell yea new talking counter
The fact that olof is still on the faze bench but they let ropz walk for free is wild
Just in time!!
Ynk the centrist podcast joke was good. Rery funny guys 🔥
Ynk talking about Faze forgetting to extend Ropz contract without having any insight in the situation is crazy.
1:11:55 I'm telling you guys malbs is the best replacement for niko in the world right now
and heavygod is 2nd
donk
Holy shit I haven't thought of Blue in a long ass time! I miss the season that Dazed and Blue cast together.
Yanko's bit about sh1ron not being a top 5 player is wild to me
Well well well... He isnt in my books too
Is one of the playing wow or have i played to much classic and have the noises stuck in my head
When YNk said "hashtag word" I felt that..
Yeah Faze should have made money on Twist and ropz leaving.
Crazy misamanagement...

when chad said falcons had to play with bob ross last year, who was he referring to?
Bob "Boros" Boross

Recycling TLDR (for America, at least) - most of material that we toss into 'recycling' gets shipped off to Asia where it gets dumped into the ocean.

Why do HeavyGod and Snax, the larger humans, not simply eat the other players? Are they stupid?
ropz never said he wants to go to a team with more firepower
everybody is so hd and handsome
Do they purposefully not mention moses' kid's name or does chad just not know?
im sure its not intentional, but just want to clear up any confusion, kyousuke's name could be pronounced something like "key-oh-skay"
1:13:30 chad is too funny
Dexter has that 'tism
if heroic got maden, snappi and rent s1mple they get the falcons most recent core. Surely they'll make enough money from all they made to rent s1mple temporarily.
at this point, s0mple will go for a fistful of wooden nickels and a vape pod

Broky is ranked 6th in the world by the amount of MVP and EVP. 1 mvp and 4 evp during 2024. Why would you downgrade? Monesy or zywoo won't come lol

The same Gambit where he had Ax1le lmao. He had a Niko level rifler with him during that time but seems you forgot how good Ax1le used to be.
sh1ro is not even that good...his style is boring and he miss a lot
He had best stats in gambit because he is an awper. But don't get it wrong the whole gambit roster was good at the time. Since that roster broke down Shiro isn't bad but he is not at that level anymore and we could see that while he was being carried at major by almighty migixx
