Can't wait for NIP's 17 man roster.
POGChamp
Here right after watching Thorin's interview with Twistzz
Where did he interview him?
@@rq9622 On his channel.
@@MrMatom55 thanks :)
And after you can go watch part 2 haha
Thorin is such a legend.
Not only was aleksib gone until the last two series, but he was still feeling sick and had to fly on the same day as the first series back, and he made pretty clear that he didn't sleep either so that adds even one more asterisk for me on that loss.
ence, reached finals lost, OG no notable success whatsoever, G2, reached finals lost (not yet finished though) but eventually we have to look at the constant among those teams, this is not to bring down aleksi as I dont hate him, he is a sweetie especially with that smile, but bro, we need something to hail you as a great leader bro, great leaders win, not only reach finals
@@psoriatic4889 ence won a tropie i think
@@leemarquez8995 yeah they won blast
Richard confirmed BDSM enthusiast.
Reading HLTV forums as an above average inteligent csgo enthusiast is a sign of masochism.
Aye, and seemingly have a good moral compass then associating himself to Sadoracist
Bdsm lets gooooo
Thorin "One of the three big teams in group C will lose to Movistar Riders and not make it out of the group"
Checks HLTV - Movistar Riders 2 - 1 over Players...
It gets worse.
And now Big :)
This comment section 😂
Watching this after Faze won pro league and is currently the ranked 1 team in the world is somethin' else
hunter might be extra motivated to perform better individually after becoming a father but there is still no apparent reason behind niko not performing to his standards
@@dominikq. no cuz niko was underperforming before that
Looking at NIP it appears that they are at a major crossroads for the teams future, without device on the lineup I would have to guess either Esetag or Plopski would have to be on the cutting block, in a scenario where they could pickup someone like nawwk as a replacement for phzy I could see NIP presenting a surprisingly strong Swedish star trio between Brollan nawwk and rez, as a star trio, with Hampus' lurking style and esetag/plopski in a more entry/ supportive role it could be reasonably well rounded and I could see NIP as a semi consistent top 5 contender. With phzy its hard to imagine they would be a top 5 team with any real consistency.
If they keep Device then the prospects for this team would be immediate, as even with Device having reduced in form from the Astralis era, the combination of Device, Brollan and Rez would present a very exciting trio of stars, that I would be happy to see compete against the best, with a consistent top 3 contender surely within reach if not at least a consistent top 5, though I still don't necessarily believe that could be No. 1.
They would be a contender for first tho for sure.
Rez is known to be inconsistent, but on a good day like in iem fall, he can pop the fuck off
Nawwk is overrated. Meanwhile, phzy hasn't reached his skill ceiling yet
Going to Richard's point around 45:00 on, imagine they just grabbed Amanek to replace Kyojin, and picked up maybe one of the Heet guys or shox even stays, but continue on as a French team.
Player for player Amanek does literally everything they were trying to mold kyojin into, but better, and you are inserting a well rounded support player into a support player role, instead of a young aim star pug player, which kyojin shouldnt do and really doesnt deserve, its unfair. It worked with misutaa,, but not twice.
But if shox still leaves, they could try someone like bodyy or lucky, as rifles, both of whom have called on dbl poney/heet and can help there, bodyy played with him back on g2 of course
Vitality did consider picking up 2 of the heat players before they were signed. Djoko for sure and I think the second was afroo
I always hear people talk very highly of es3tag, but he’s always been underwhelming when I’ve watched him play. Maybe I’m just catching his worst games, idk.
Watch his games with Astralis
Hes not a star, hes a just a solid supportive element. He hasnt been incredible in NiP but hes also speaking solely swedish for the first time ever.
@@jaredwhite6041 yeah I get that, just still hasn't felt that solid when I've watched him. He did have a good game on nuke a couple months ago that I saw.
He started really poorly, but he is getting better with each game. So i think he is still adapting to culture and language, also new teammates. He will be fine.
@@stewartminges I think part of why he's so well-liked must be intangibles. Team cohesion, nice guy outside of the server, helpful in setting up strats and willing to sacrifice for the team (he has played basically every role, when this was needed/required and made it work).
Amazing show, always a great time watching
Great episode. Keep it up!
Richards same reaction face in the thumbnail gets me 🤣
Niko is in a Steph Curry Shooting slump type form right now. Best way I can describe it.
It is so good being smart in hindsight:
"One of those teams will be surprised by Novistar Riders"
Now: which one of the five were you talking about? 😁
My take on nip not announcing which player is being dropped is that, they haven’t decided yet. I think they are going to work out the roles and how the team works best and then decide between the three riflers (es3tag, plopski, rez).
If brollan wants lots of rez’s spots and rez can’t transition to a more supportive role. Then it makes sense to sell him and keep the others
I deff don't think rez is going to go. Since he is one of the best riflers in sweden and their star player. Then to plopski and es3tag. Sure es3tag is great at support, ancor and they bought him for a large sum. Though plopski is swedish. He talks swedish and is a great friend to brollan. Don't think brollan is going to take his friends spot on a team willingly. Especially when brollan is swedish and swedish courtesy exist. And tbh, i think brollan is going to play more ancor on ct side. Whilst rez and devve will be throwing nades.
@@emanueljohansson4895 I don’t think rez will go either unless he has significant role overlap with brollan and isn’t able to move to other spot effectively
Wait... is Groups online? It says it's offline on Liquipedia
1:03:15 Players after getting upset by Movistar Riders 👁👄👁
👁👄👁
Semmlers next role "How do you do fellow kids?"
I like this show a lot ! Thank you.
I would like to express my thanks to you, Avis, My gratitude for your indisputably magnificent assistance is almost infinite. Your efforts have not gone unnoticed. I really like your contribution that you have in our society, you really make a difference and help others out, the world could always use more people like you. Gosh, what a polite and humble fellow. It is such a kind honour for someone as low as me to be in contact with someone of a level such as yours. I thank you once again my good friend. A world without you, would be a world I would not be able to live in, and I believe I share that opinion with most people. I can rest easy tonight knowing you helped. I appreciate you and everything you stand for and on behalf of everyone on planet earth, thanks.
Best NIP - hampus,rez,brollan,device,esctag
This show is an instant like.
no u 👉🏻👈🏻
"One of these will get upset by Movistar Riders" - Annnnnd its Gambit lol
and it's liquid xD
aaaand Big
Time stamps please!
🤖:its like signing Crister Rolnaldo..*send tweet*
Richard and Thorin are my favorite
That part where you guys make fun of hen1 and his brother was amazing LOL 😂😂😂
HEN1 and LUCAS1 in: O Prestígio
Duncans rant about hen1 😂😂
Hit tab bro check scoreboard niko’s team placed 2nd place at katowice in case u didn’t watch. New team adjustments take time. He’s just adjusting and not used to having such a competent lineup around him
Thorin fucking called it for Movistar Riders
Love this show! Please keep them coming, and more often too!
fun show
‘One of these teams will get upset by Movistar riders and not make it through’ well this isn’t looking too great for the Players then 😂 1:03:10
He has the 3rd eye is thoorin.
Semmler looking like gilbert gottfried's long lost relative
LMAO THE FURIA SEGMENT
NiP 1-6 Safe to unsafe. 1 REZ nip's promised son. 2 Hampus imo the best fragging IGL when in form. 3 Device the trophy wife. 4.Brollan new signed. 5 es3tag honeymoon. 6 Plopski. OFC phzy back to young ninjas.
"What if there was a third twin"
vitality could of been good if they replace kyojin for amanek in theory
Eh, ifs and buts were candy and nuts...
@@unleashthedog just imagine
zywoo apex mistuaaa shox amanek or jackz (he did decline to join)
@@ImaTip bro do you know that vitality is with magisk and dupreeh
@@ImaTip in roster shox is in a liquid
@@ImaTip in roster shox is in a liquid
I've been saying Nikos been shit for so long well before the stats showed it. Before his stats showed how shit he is, U can his team mates stats go down hill first. So it's no surprise.
Semmler looks kinda like young Terry A. Davis
Round robin does create bad incentives sometimes but even still you can not excuse poor performance.
check out these Group D predictions 1.Astralis 2. Navi 3. Complexity EG gonna take down Heroic
Semmler pothead now? He got a dab pen
1:03:14 bruh thorin is a god
Man I love semmler
good_vid_bro
Getting more polar opposite in Europe than Danes working with the French. Okay! How about a Finnish IGL working with two Serbian Bosnians?
Honestly I think it was the combination of "The Shot" and getting pummeled at Kato by a lineup with a stand in that has shattered Niko's confidence. I think both of those have gotten in his head making him second guess how he is playing which everyone knows is the easiest way to play poorly.
That just seems like history repeating itself. Who could have seen it come, when you keep pumping as "no 1 in the world" a chocker?
It's so fitting that Niko is in G2, replacing in spirit kennyS in terms of emotional collapse :D
Niko harden
No actually Faze got out because they beat Furia and also VP did not win a map against Vitality.
big fan
BIG FNA
Give me a break with all these G2 excuses. Especially after FaZe won Katowice with fking jks. Amanek is a team member not even a stand-in. Hope they get better but here and now they just suck.
Dude they played without igl, they just started implementing his tactics and they lost him and NiKo had to igl giving us one of the worst igl performances i have ever seen.
We saw against nip how good they can be
-Won against LFO, "no IGL no problem" they said
-Got beaten by mouz and fnatic, "we can't win without IGL" they said
-this time will full power yet still got beaten by entropiq, "no comment" they vanished. Xaxaxa
@@muaz3708 they llst againts fnatic with 3 stands in lamao
I think NAVI will definetely go to the playoffs but winning the whole thing is a different story. But yea like Thorin said, if NAVI dont win EPL, they can just kiss their ''era seeking times'' goodbye. So fucking sad.....
So heartbreaking that prime-time for S1mple is interrupted by this. Hopefully the best outcome comes to fruitioun
get back forest and get right at their current age they could out perform modern dog nip
inb4 movistar riders 5-0
The whole vitality needs to win for faze to move on part was ridiculous, how can that be a thing.
Also when I heard “experts” talk about Niko being top 1 player it always sounded like someone paid them to say it
Lmao moviestar riders clapping them all
no shit they beat them all
EG only really lost one meaningful bo1 and it was 14-16. Idk why peopleve been judging EG and liquid so harshly so far. Theyve barely played at all and especially liquid has only lost to arguably top 3 teams.
Only reason i hope EG fails is because of Stewie2k. NA in general have been a joke. Stewie is just a clown that thinks he is some top1 NA igl 🤣 He needs to be put in a tier 2 na team and stay there.
Hi first one here
congrats sir
care?
askers?
@@AM2K2 no cap homie
CS does wonders to the brain
m4a1s is overpowered and csgo devs don't care about balance therefore it's a waste of time to play csgo
if its OVERPOWERED i want AWP to Nerf
Imagine talking down on players that has been playing for years while y’all sit in the back watching seeing a lvl you guys would ever reach. Like how would y’all preform in that situation
Niko has dropped off a cliff? God I swear this community has the memory of a goldfish
i mean he was putting up 1.60 impact ratings almost every match at the end of 2021 now he's struggling to have normal k/d ratio or impact. "goldfish memory" is retarded, its been almost 4 months into 2022 and NiKo isn't looking as good as he was.
Dude niko is choking and they need to fix it or aleksib will move on.
@@w90213kjfdjn go back and watch this year first blast series and IEM and see whether he has shown up or not ESL was a sudden drop in performance but don't worry he will hit back wait n watch.
I mean past 3 months he's been below average compared to his 1.3 status
@@w90213kjfdjn low intelligence reply
When G2 underperforms and never win even after reaching multiple finals, le dexerto - bad omen, outside problems, they are good, not clicking.
When Navi literally win every lan they played last year and literally lose just 1 coz the player's families are in danger, le dexerto - we don't even know who Navi are. Navi are so bad.
I will be Honest but Brollan didnt impress me for the last 3 years
i will prefer ztr over Brollan
how delusional are you
Lol
hahahahahaha you live under a rock
@@ducksarmy8097 i said 'ME' i still remeber some tournament where brollan had single digit frag in best of 3 series blast may be
