This has to be my favourite episode so far. It was so funny throughout. That particular joke Thorin made about AleksiB placing higher at the major than Hampus WHILE KASSAD WAS THERE had me in stitches
In my opinion, this hot takes review should be a short segment at the start of each episode, where you look back at the hot takes in the episode from 10 episodes ago or something. That way it's short and sweet, and the takes all have equal time to come to fruition.
Mauis point was Dev1ce could have overtaken s1mple as the GOAT with an amazing 2023, yet in their rebuttals everybody is talking about Zywoo as the challenge to S1mples GOAT status. Would have loved more on Devices year and missed potential there.
If they had this elige, they could've fluked a tournament win though. Osee 2023 was better than nitro 2019 with the awp, he just didn't have 2019 elige, naf, twistzz and stew.
KEi buyout being 240k euros(slightly below avg rifler, onliner), 1.2kk for 29 yr old jkaem that has never won a lan in his 9 year old carrer is fucking insane.
What kassad says in 1:15:05 Jame, Fl1t, Electronic, Perfecto, Ax1le would probably be the new Astralis , this team is so balanced, if they buy into the VP philosophy then this would be the most OP team.
thorins take on s1mple being #1 at end of 2025 i do believe will happen, s1mple is a transcendent player and the goat of csgo, but the only caviet is that hltv may not rank s1mple #1 even if the eyetest shows s1mple is #1, also i do think its hard cause m0nesy zywoo are there and also (i dont think he will be top this year but in 2025 donk will have had enough expereinece to condend)
i love kassad going off on g2 manager for saying m0nesy is not for sale people dont understand that comparing g2 to c9 is not an apples to apples, cause people argue g2 is better, but why? cause m0nesy is there, take m0nesy out and u got a g2 team worse than this current c9 roster, and when c9 getsm0nesy, all of a sudden m0nesy's awping will allow either h0bbit or ax1le (whoeverstays) to have more space or confidence to make a play knowing m0nesy will close or open the round for them, and electronic will still be him who is better than niko rn in cs2, and boombl4 is a better igl than hooxi, also perfecto is leagues above nexa in support/anchor roles
Everyone needs to be fired. Rain needs to get cut and mezi is there to replace him. Kscerato is the best rifler but elo helled by every igl either art or fallen. Zywoo is the GOAT if the air quality is good. NiKo should lose so that Hooxi gets cut. Thats some recurring takes that could be part of that bingo
Love Thorin telling everyone to keep it short then going on about Hunden. I don’t mind either way because a 3 hour HTPM arguing over the review would be a dream come true.
the team that buys m0nesy getting to #1 spot onoy applies if the team is Not c9. cuz if he went to c9 they would somehow manage to elo hell him like kscerato in furia😭😭😭
I think it’s important for players and orgs to realize that saudi money is saudi money. Just because they are paying bogus amounts of money and salary, doesn't mean players should try to expect that same amount from "regular" orgs.
@@20puskinas1992 no the level of top tier teams is lower than it was in the astralis days and these teams still cant be consistent. you cannot sit here and tell me this vp team would win anything in 2018
Lmfao, Zywoo in literally HALF the lans has tied or surpasses almost every achievement simple has. Not to mention that GOATs in every other sport WIN the big events and simple isn't that guy. Device clears him on the past alone. If MJ only had one ring would he be the goat of basketball? If tiger only won one major would he be the goat? Nah. Simple was a stat padder who farmed rating and MVPs, but didn't wind up lifting trophies because of it.
Name another player who has won 3 top 1s, Katowice, Major, Cologne and IGS besides s1mple. You can't lol. He is the only guy to have won it all. Device never won cologne, Zywoo never won katowice or cologne or IGS.
Lol diversity of achievements doesn't beat out better achievements. Brute force of wins over time doesn't beat someone almost having exactly what you have in half the time. Sorry but device was too busy winning the biggest events, he didn't stop to collect a cologne. Zywoo stuck on a trash roster for 90% of his CS time has already tied him in almost everything in HALF the time. Simple is just an overrated stat padder who got carried in those events.@@BetaMale420
THEY NEED TO FIRE EVERYONE
Starting with Rain, right?
Even the person who fires everyone, should fire themselves afterwards
COMPLEXITY SHOULD (STILL) FIRE EVERYONE
*except Elige. And maybe JT
This has to be my favourite episode so far. It was so funny throughout. That particular joke Thorin made about AleksiB placing higher at the major than Hampus WHILE KASSAD WAS THERE had me in stitches
😂😂😂
Bro 💀
death, taxes, and kscerato in elo hell

I say do a BTN style year-in-review Christmas special
One of the best episodes guys, great vibes and banter!
Already know its gonna be fire with Kassad
BY FAR the most entertaining CS podcast around today!!!
This is THE BEST SHOW in Esports. The best chemistry of any show with these three nutters
its been too long. Thanks for the content, guys!
This is just by far the best show in CS. The dynamics, the premise, the analysis, it's got it all.
Excellent episode, thanks guys
This was so funny, great episode

16:40 quintessential scandinavian analysis by kassad right there
LMAO @51:00 😭😂😭😂😭😂
Holy shit 😭😂
@@Expanses02”I hope he’s your igl til you die” 😂😂😂💀💀💀 bruh I died laughing
gold tier content
Yo the banter with Kassad is gonna be so fun now that he's back to coaching 😂
If faze got m0nesy, keeping rain would actually undeniably be a positive thing for the team then.
On the electronic take, don't forget Maui made that take because electronic was getting a divorce 😂
The hampus section had me rolling
Anyone else hoping we get something to hold us over during the RMR? I need something from this trio, nobody else does it quite like them.
This is some top-quality content! love these guys, always keep it real.
Thorin acting like his liquid take was some mastermind take where he solved the enigma...lol everyone knew liquid wasnt doing shit with osee
If they had this elige, they could've fluked a tournament win though. Osee 2023 was better than nitro 2019 with the awp, he just didn't have 2019 elige, naf, twistzz and stew.
I mean.... they were closer than you would've expected. Made a couple grand finals, were in the playoffs of most tournaments they went to.
KEi buyout being 240k euros(slightly below avg rifler, onliner), 1.2kk for 29 yr old jkaem that has never won a lan in his 9 year old carrer is fucking insane.
I remember Kassad having a 'Niko should just leave G2' take, that was such a good episode
"ZEEERO brain cells left in their stupid little head!" 😂😂😂😂😂😂
best episode to date
16:35 Absolute banger from Kassad
What kassad says in 1:15:05 Jame, Fl1t, Electronic, Perfecto, Ax1le would probably be the new Astralis , this team is so balanced, if they buy into the VP philosophy then this would be the most OP team.
TL paying 600k to turn Skullz into Rainwaker is pretty insane.
52 minutes in and I can't stop laughing. All timer
16:57 rain should be cellebreted 😂
Maui in the nice chair.
Liquid hot take was INSANE
Yeeeees. Best CS show is back!
thank you
Nah, kassad, monkey's paw, monkey's paw. Would be a terrible idea to see m0nesy on OG LMAO
This video was hilarious
Perfect 👌
Amazing content
1 minute in and we are already talking about hooxi. man i can´t deal with this anymore. I would love to know who thorin loves more, hooxi or rekkles
he be HOOOOXIN
47:55 Lmfao
30:13 Kassad speaking facts.
47:30 Mongolz beat complexity 3-0 at Atlanta so he might be right
1:37:00 😂
This was so funny omfg
im not sure s1mple will be #1, but he WILL be higher than zywoo in 2025
Fucking amazing episode
Omg this is hilarious😂😂

1:37:55 🤣🤣
you didnt just compare him to kurt cobain... xDDDD
RAIN SHOULD BE CELEBRATED
DONT JUST SHITTING ON RAIN ALL DAY
Great content. But can't really understand your football and basketball references.
i love kassad going off on g2 manager for saying m0nesy is not for sale
people dont understand that comparing g2 to c9 is not an apples to apples, cause people argue g2 is better, but why? cause m0nesy is there, take m0nesy out and u got a g2 team worse than this current c9 roster, and when c9 getsm0nesy, all of a sudden m0nesy's awping will allow either h0bbit or ax1le (whoeverstays) to have more space or confidence to make a play knowing m0nesy will close or open the round for them, and electronic will still be him who is better than niko rn in cs2, and boombl4 is a better igl than hooxi, also perfecto is leagues above nexa in support/anchor roles
Liquid take has not been aging great as of yet
Everyone needs to be fired. Rain needs to get cut and mezi is there to replace him. Kscerato is the best rifler but elo helled by every igl either art or fallen. Zywoo is the GOAT if the air quality is good. NiKo should lose so that Hooxi gets cut. Thats some recurring takes that could be part of that bingo
And vp sucks james shit doesn't work in cs2 and if it did its alrdy too late everyone figured his ass out
Cheater-Strike 2
Romania, Lithuania and Ukraine ( 4/5 players in Na'Vi ) are considered Eastern Europe, with Central Europe being Germany, Czech Republic and Austria.
Love Thorin telling everyone to keep it short then going on about Hunden.
I don’t mind either way because a 3 hour HTPM arguing over the review would be a dream come true.
I love kassads liquid take. No honeymoon period just the completely opposite lmao
Fire content
Air quality matrix is full proof 😂
@@davidmontgomery1442 Wait it's fool proof? Brother I've been saying it wrong for 3 decades, thank you! haha 😅

here after BIG signed syrsoN again LOL
This shit is hilarious.
Love how kassad was calling thorin out on this one 😂❤
One of the best shows around
Finally the best modern CS2 talk show is back!
1:21:30 mal3k,trk back in the day
loved this episode! keep it up boys
The best episode lmao
Epic intro!
Kassad go to work
how the fuck did hooxi have 2 top 5 HLTV players all year and only win 2 events, he literally had the highest rated awp/rifle duo outside of vitality
What you expect?
There are plenty oh heavy hitting teams today.
Its not 2018 anymore.
@@20puskinas1992 idk maybe not fail getting to the top 8 of multiple majors with 2 of the best players in the world would be good start
@@20puskinas1992 i also forgot the crazy firepower teams like apekz and gamerlegion have. mustve been really tough to outcall those studs
@@funkygizmo vp won major and didn't even qualify for another.
Competition is much tougher than in Astralis days.
