3:40:58 g2 are 0-2 in the legends stage and down a map in the b03. Map 2, g2 are down 3-12. During halftime, niko and hunter get out of their chairs, stand on their desks, perform a bosnian family ritual, and kiss passionately on the lips. Second half starts, they both pop off, carrying g2 and don't drop a map for the rest of the tournament. In the playoffs, they 2-0 vitality, 2-0 astralis, and then beat navi in the grand final 32-0.
Just want to say. Gg to Cadian. Much respect for just showing up on the show like this, answering "the call" and sitting in front of te questions, talking this through and showing up. Adult in the room here.. gg and go Heroic !
Fair point. No one is fully inocent here. Everyone contributed to this whole mess in their own way. But what's up with casually trowing around "the scene is dead" ? What good saying these things do ? Pathetic thing to say, sorry. Can we just bring some positivity to the scene ?
Just want to say... So good to jave Moses on the show. He always provides a mature and well thought out perspective. He just makes sense. Really really nice to hear his perspective.
@@Polyvalent I’m sure they have the funds. They are a T1 org with an LCS slot. The problem with the wiping the slate completely is that there is not many options in NA. If they work with the core Stan, Breze, oBo and fill in with some good pieces they might be able to find consistency
I’d agree but I’d also say it’s getting better. Liquid have had some pretty solid come backs recently. Let’s also not forget that liquid had made a great come back vs heroic until that 1v5. I think that’s more than we’d have expected from liquid in the past. On a side note, if stewie keeps the form he had at the end of the fall showdown, he could solve this problem because he’s hyped and playing well.
Gla1ve, Xyp9x, Bubzkji, Lucky, K0nfig. Thinking they will lose Magisk and Dupreeh after the major when their contracts are up. On Heroic's stratbook, that's almost certainly Heroic intellectual property. It's common for any organisation that deals in IP rights in the form of written documents to *protect* these assets legally. Even if it's just there in the contract and hard to legally pursue in a court. If it's not in the contract, it's not in the contract (and the Hunden contract becomes utterly stupid and weak). To assume it isn't, is asinine. Those files were not *his* and for a heap of other reasons this is morally reprehensible
I can understand dupreeh can go to nip for example, or to col to play with es3, but why would magisk leave, he is probably second best player right now in astralis after dupreeh
@@liam3104 I think their main issue was Dev1ce being just okayish. In the last RMR he was firing on all cylinders. But yeah that would still put them in dark horse category.

I know cadian had a lot to say, but thank you HLTV for being the platform and treating him fairly...... good question and only accepting direct answers
That's why nitr0 was so important for Team Liquid . For the majority of the time that they were dominating ,nitr0 was like the barrier that keep the mental side of Liquid up .
Very suprised by how people are overrating Astralis going into this event. Huge roster moves every other week and an IGL swap out before the major. Glaive hasn't played a pro match in two months and it's not like they're just going to get the high fragging IGL superstar straight back either, his last events for Astralis were awful; 0.84, 0.99, 0.90 ratings for his last three events. Plus their first major without Mr Consistant.
Even though I really like how Astralis played in 18 and 19, I doubt they'll make it that far given the fact that they don't have a top-tier Awper on their rooster. The same goes for G2. My top 3 would be Navi, Vitality and Gambit. Because they all have a top-tier Awper and at least 1 superstar-like rifler to support them. Once top awpers catch on fire, they are really hard to stop, even by top riflers. The real dark horses for me would be VP and NIP.
wait what no Harry and Hugo as casters for Major ????? how can this happen They are one of the best casters along with spunj and machine This is not done bro
Funny how Moses went from talking about how the players should have harsher punishment to having a lot of sympathy for them when they said Cadian was coming on.
The reason why Heroic has been so lenient with Hunden is because they obviously knew. Any other case, he would be out the door in a minute. Now they are just trying to save themselves. And ESIC are cowards. Always have been
As much as I want, how much I like cadian as a player or person, to affect my opinion on this situation, I can't deny that regardless of what proof is available, it's very obvious that these players knew what was happening. They deserve some kind of punishment, even if one isn't officially handed.
@@EETDUK by _setting up the camera_, you mean someone boosted HUNDEN in a position? [A] It was Teses. His explanation sounds completely plausible: that his focus was on warming up to the match about to start. He didn't question Hunden's request because his focus was away, and no thought of "your credible coach is about to cheat, and you should investigate or deny the boost" entered his mind when HUNDEN asked for a boost. [B] If no, you mean something else by Cadian, pls explain/link? About niko's quote, based on the context of the conversation and other evidence, it is very likely niko was manipulated into saying something untrue. Far, far more likely than this quote being truthful, and the context and other evidence being bullshit, and a big conspiracy behind. This is the conclusion of people who digged this case.
@@EETDUK P.S. The only "ugly" in my opinion: Cadian and stavn were notified post-match that Hunden cheated in Heroic's loss to Astralis. The fact they didn't disclose it to anyone else and were complicit in their reaction (other than saying "strong words against cheating" between themselves), in my opinion, deserves a form of penalty. Because their inaction allowed this to potentially continue (and continue it did), and allowed Hunden to get away with first solved murder. Especially for Cadian who's a grown adult and is well versed in the industry (pretty sure 18-y.o. stavn was torn and just went along with Cadian's measures - lack of measures). To leave it completely behind closed doors and to continue like nothing happened? What kind of message this sends to the guilty coach?.. Shady. In my opinion, definitely deserves a penalty for Cadian and stavn, although not as severe as for cheating.
lets not forget the device never turns up in the most important matches at majors. only way astralis won 4 majors was with a lot of people that could turn up and make up for device when it realy mattered. train against vp device wiffed 90precent of the shots he took
I'm a little surprised that Cadian came on to address the situation. I don't think he did himself or his team many favors by commenting on it. ESIC ruled in the teams favor and were super lenient towards them and he could just be giving them more evidence to make a new decision in light of what he said on here. Especially with the whole thing about the team knowing that Hunden cheated but not taking it anywhere. It's a weird angle to say to basically say "Valve won't respond, so why even bother?" You have to say something and show good faith in at least acknowledging what is going on and saying "This isn't right". Beyond that, the Niko situation is a huge mess. I get that he has some things in play that influence his ability to discern what's happening, but cheating is pretty clear. You knew your coach cheated and didn't do anything. There has to be some kind of a ban for that in light of how everything else was handled. ESIC's punishment system is super weird given how Ian responded to the question. How is there no problem for players knowing about cheating and not reporting it but Furia's coach Guerri had 1 round where the bug happened, he didn't even benefit from it and got slapped with a 3 month ban? This whole catastrophe gets more weird and messy with every bit of info that comes out.
Regarding the Hunden cheating situatian... There are some important comments here to mention. These players are really young, without the life experience and general mental toughness and well learned ability to judge different situations in life. This is a big general problem here. Internet hatred in this type of situation can be really really draining and though. It fucks up your self confidence. Especially when you do not yet have the life experience that helps you build a strong coping mechanism and good and healthy way of dealing with things and handleing adversity. They are genuinely affected. Apart from Cadian who is a more experienced individual (still put in a really though situation) the other guys are basically young kids who do not yet have built the experience and self confidence for themselves that you guys already have. And we are asking them to be professionals. On the other hand it is only fair to ask this as they are well paid professionals. This does not just mean to play well and grind and collect the paycheck and when shit happens you come out as the victim (which to be fair they actually are victims in a way). It also means that you have to stand up for the reputation, and competitive integrity that you have built trough the years from a really really young age. The players and the org tried to brush this under the rug at their respective time and did not stand up at the time for their own competitive integrity and they did not handle it professionally therefore even when they come out like this, it makes it hard for them to win back their credibility. Make no mistake, I am a fan, I support them, I think they are a good team and good guys, I want them to succeed. But they have to learn from this and understand what it means to really be a professional. You can't just try to not tell anyone. You have to speak up at that exact time and stand up and say that this has been used and that this should be punished accordingly. That is professional. Standing up in time for yourself before you are already presiurized by others. I support them, but they were fucked over and than they handled this really badly. To come back to my earlier point. There is a conflict in understanding what it means to be a professional, asking young kids to be professional before they have the capability to do so. But at the end of the day obviously it is only fair to ask that when they have a good contract with a good payday. WE ALL HAVE TO LEARN FROM THIS !!!
I'm glad someone has a nuanced opinion on this. I feel bad for them, it really sucks to be put into this situation without having the experience to deal with it. But at the same time, most people start their careers at the same age (20-25); if they don't act professionally, they bear the consequences. It sucks, but they have to suck it up. Just the way the world works unfortunately.
How come? Astralis no chance team for sure - their time is up, Gambit probably wins the Major, VP - disappointment (i hope not), NaVi - wont make it happen, NIP - dark horse, Vitality finalist
Why doesn’t CS do a regional league system And everyone plays each other 2/3 times in a “season” using the new short version of the game in a BO3. Then the top 5/10 players with the most points, from each region, at the end of the season, go through to the bigger tournament, just like they to in “conventional” sports. And the rest of the teams who didn’t get through, start their player brake early, then once all the tournaments are finished, then everyone has a break. If we have leagues, this gives traditional tier 2/3 teams the ability to play the top teams, in regions that are a little light in teams, so we could have an EMEA, APAC, LATAM and NA leagues. 100 points for a win 50 for a draw 25 for a loss And the bottom 3 teams get relegated and gives lower tier teams the ability to move up. All these leagues can be played online and then Lan for the major tournaments.
To be fair ,Navi was vouched to win alot of Major but so far they've won none . It's just so random with Navi .You could either meet a hyper Navi that win every duel and insane 1vs 5 clutches or a very frustrated Navi that need S1mple to carry them .
The NDA's are in and of themselves PROOF that this matter is far from over and lots of heads will roll - beyond that and as a viewer , I won't watch Heroic play, If I wanted to watch cheaters - I would go play MM
Lastly, are Blast and ESL so desperate to break even they don't have the self respect to just bar these guys for at least one tournament? Jesus, have some self-respect.
3:36:14 Striker trashing on Copenhagen Flames, and they defeated Astralis and BIG today, he acts like knows everything on cs, can't even respect someone else opinion lol
Hard to say. LAN helps with morale especially with crowds, but the loss of Adren, what does that mean tactically. Strats is where liquid shine, yeah all of them can frag out, but to me the strats is what made liquid good.
Cheater or not as long as it bring W to the table it doesn't matter. It matters when one got caught red-handed. This isn't goody two shoes farce. This is business , so ofc the org staff and players kept their zipper on covering hunden(deep down, who doesn't wanna use W bringer) and only blabber when it's in the open(for all we know all of em could be in it together). Them saying they feel guilty and should be banned. Ofc if they say this they'd gather sympathy and can save their rep(who the hell would want a ban on their carreer? They are obviously happy they escaped almost unscatched duh🤣).
Wtf guys, this is completely out of reality like what you expect??? Do tou really expect go heroic and gambit that far? Why you completely ignore Cologne results?? That was only LAN event in long time and major is also LAN so results from cologne should be the main criterion if we talk about favourites at this major. What has shown gambit and heroic at cologne???? Absolutely nothing. So why you talking about them like about absolute Gods??😀😀😀 On the other hand Faze is one of the best teams in the world on LAN accoridng to Cologne and you are absolutely ingoring that. Like WTF guys, this is completely out of reality, i felt like you never watched CS:GO before and you are considering teams only by HLTV ranking. Poor episode 😔✌️👌
I feel like everyone is overrating astralis way too much. Their best showing this year was like a quarterfinals which was on lan but one good event is being rated higher than gambit who have been either ranked 1 or 2 the whole year. Lan experience is wayyyyy too overblown
Honestly suprised we didn't get our own biggest disappointment category, but go off moses

Wish they figure out some of the details before they do the pod.
sound is half a sec off.
How are you not talking about BIG not even in the parimatch?
Big is gonna perform i see them top4 atleast..
Did moses and any of those casters make their pick ems? I want to see it. Can somebody link it if you know?

How come? Astralis no chance team for sure - their time is up,
Gambit probably wins the Major,
VP - disappointment (i hope not),
NaVi - wont make it happen,
NIP - dark horse,
Vitality finalist
Nah, Astralis is favorite just because they are the defending champions.
No way you really said Gamb0t over Nav1. What a joke, NaVi smashed Gambit multiple times in their own online element, imagine on LAN.
@@tyby2076 as long as they've Lucky (unlucky ) it is a dream for em br0 , believe that
@@chewyn6696 how about the last one they played vs one another, NaVi is on top yh but Gamb1t probably only team can whoop NaVi
@@temurergashev they lost to BIG didn't they? Teams update their plays after every tournament.
Astralis was sooo overhyped by many experts. And yes, I said it before the major already.
Why doesn’t CS do a regional league system And everyone plays each other 2/3 times in a “season” using the new short version of the game in a BO3.
Then the top 5/10 players with the most points, from each region, at the end of the season, go through to the bigger tournament, just like they to in “conventional” sports.
And the rest of the teams who didn’t get through, start their player brake early, then once all the tournaments are finished, then everyone has a break.
If we have leagues, this gives traditional tier 2/3 teams the ability to play the top teams, in regions that are a little light in teams, so we could have an EMEA, APAC, LATAM and NA leagues.
100 points for a win
50 for a draw
25 for a loss
And the bottom 3 teams get relegated and gives lower tier teams the ability to move up.
All these leagues can be played online and then Lan for the major tournaments.
Give us mantuu
NIP vs Astralis grand final and NIP wins.
man I miss counter points..
Lmao with all the hype going around Navi winning the major, there’s a very good chance they won’t. They barely defeated vitality.
To be fair ,Navi was vouched to win alot of Major but so far they've won none .
It's just so random with Navi .You could either meet a hyper Navi that win every duel and insane 1vs 5 clutches or a very frustrated Navi that need S1mple to carry them .
The NDA's are in and of themselves PROOF that this matter is far from over and lots of heads will roll - beyond that and as a viewer , I won't watch Heroic play, If I wanted to watch cheaters - I would go play MM
I don't understand how Heroic is allowed to stay in pro cs and beyond this how this isn't doing irreparable damage to professional integrity in cs.
Lastly, are Blast and ESL so desperate to break even they don't have the self respect to just bar these guys for at least one tournament? Jesus, have some self-respect.
3:36:14 Striker trashing on Copenhagen Flames, and they defeated Astralis and BIG today, he acts like knows everything on cs, can't even respect someone else opinion lol

IDK I FEEL LIKE LIQUID CAN GET TOP 3 IF U SEEN THEIR LAST VIDEOS THEY HAVE GOOD MORALE RN
Hard to say. LAN helps with morale especially with crowds, but the loss of Adren, what does that mean tactically. Strats is where liquid shine, yeah all of them can frag out, but to me the strats is what made liquid good.
OK
It’s funny that Moses says hunden should be gone because Moses could never win a major with a team but hunden could
? Hunden didnt won major in csgo wtf???
Cheater or not as long as it bring W to the table it doesn't matter. It matters when one got caught red-handed.
This isn't goody two shoes farce. This is business
, so ofc the org staff and players kept their zipper on covering hunden(deep down, who doesn't wanna use W bringer) and only blabber when it's in the open(for all we know all of em could be in it together).
Them saying they feel guilty and should be banned. Ofc if they say this they'd gather sympathy and can save their rep(who the hell would want a ban on their carreer? They are obviously happy they escaped almost unscatched duh🤣).
Wtf guys, this is completely out of reality like what you expect??? Do tou really expect go heroic and gambit that far? Why you completely ignore Cologne results?? That was only LAN event in long time and major is also LAN so results from cologne should be the main criterion if we talk about favourites at this major. What has shown gambit and heroic at cologne???? Absolutely nothing. So why you talking about them like about absolute Gods??😀😀😀 On the other hand Faze is one of the best teams in the world on LAN accoridng to Cologne and you are absolutely ingoring that. Like WTF guys, this is completely out of reality, i felt like you never watched CS:GO before and you are considering teams only by HLTV ranking. Poor episode 😔✌️👌

Moses has a shit take on the Heroic stuff. Otherwise a great episode.

No sympathy for the heroic players. They are cheaters for me.
Navi will win this major for sure
No lol

damn what a clownfiesta those picks
🤣🤣🤣
I feel like everyone is overrating astralis way too much. Their best showing this year was like a quarterfinals which was on lan but one good event is being rated higher than gambit who have been either ranked 1 or 2 the whole year. Lan experience is wayyyyy too overblown
