Hey, this one's for Chad, yes that's me in my profile picture, I'm a wannabe streamer/youtuber anyway. Fucking love the content you guys put out, look forward to it every week. I watch hltv confirmed because of you, I miss when your not casting. Wow this is sounding a little strong, anyway I just wanna say I'm a fan, I watched you compete at the crown $55,000 invite tournament in Melbourne back in 2015, I don't comment really at all and just consume and I think a lot of others are like me and it sucks that the negativity of online cretins gets to you the way it does. Wanna send something positive out there! Have a good one mate. Also love Janko and Jason too.
Thanks guys as always for doing this for us! 👍 I don't think the Nitro move was financially driven. He was on M80 Val which is a top 3 NA Challenger team and the org is known to treat their players well and pay them a fair salary. I think it had to do with the changes Riot is making to the T2 system and the chance to rank up to the T1 partner league. It's assumed that this has negative impact and some orgs may pull out of Val T2. Additionally the T2 is lacking competition. You've to practice the whole year in a game that changes a lot to play about 20 matches a year. Take care guys and enjoy your holidays.
URRRR SOOO CLOSE…. it’s an issue because no other professional sports league would let an opportunity like that GO TO WASTE… to you know, get more players, more interested viewers, more discussions about esports in media, etc. Then, you all sit here talking about how CS is “DEAD IN NA”, and then here is a great opportunity for the owner / facilitator of the sport to fucking grow it in the one region that is shitting the bed (and also where Valve is HQd)… and they drop a flaccid penis of updates (couldn’t even be bothered using the latest version of the maps! Maps they DIDNT EVEN MAKE). Then to top it all off, you all sit here and give them a pass for it, with not a single ounce of push back or discussion about how or what valve could have done to help out the struggling regions. Side note: valve actually doing something big for a 25th also could have helped all the major orgs if done right. (Fuck even a simple case “honoring the top 50 teams in the valve ranking” with team logo stickers would have been enough - and if done like the major, you’d now be getting some community money into the orgs, who are supposedly hurting too…)
Cadian being kicked from Liquid doesn't change anything about the stabbi situation. They pressured Heroic to kick Cadian and promised to stay on Heroic if they did so all the while they had already made commitments to Astralis. They were already on the way to Astralis so there was no reason to do it other than to be vindictive.
Agree..I'm not a cadian fan, but cmmon... How could Liquid work with Skullz and yekindar being so trash as players? They didn't even do that bad considering that they missed the major, the rest of the tournaments were alright
@@DurealzForReal for sure but a lot of awpers struggle with cs2 and having and awper IGL is a bit costly if he doesn't get good impact, but it was just a throwaway comment either way
Yes. His awp is beyond terrible in cs2. Even if he's a good igl no top team can afford the disadvantage of having such a mid awper. Karrigan and Hooxi prove you get away with a individually weak igl if he's a selfless rifler
Holy shit, if i shit talk spunj he'll name an episode after me.... HEY SPUNJ I THINK THAT YOUR OPINIONS ARE FACTUALLY WRONG!!! Hehe im a geneus On another note great episode you brought up a great point that others have brushed past when talking about liquid with the rosterlock limiting them from getting people from active teams without a big buyout. It really limits them to getting benched/small buyout players or breaking the bank, the fact the have the cologne invite might help them attract players so it might be easier to convince the players with that leverage

The barrier of linking my steam account to HLTV is higher than it was leaving a comment
would love to get nicholas and tech on an episode
Best episode name ever
Thanks guys as always for doing this for us! 👍

It's not about the operation to me at least. the point is how is that all we get with all the money they make. They didn't even make the maps lmfao
Congrats Chad on making it to Lantia! A hard task, especially if you're doing it as a group, thats a lot of suits that need to be made!
The dumpsterfire of HLTV forms is peak entertainment
Agreed about the new community maps being super complicated and cluttered. They almost feel more sized to be wingman maps or something idk
what clip in 1h mark they talking about
I'd buy a SpunJ x Amouranth bath water.
2:35 how would ynk know of this roster move? They were bootcamping with risk not Kaze
Just locked in. Night shift about to be mega fun
AUCS mentioned within the first 10 minutes
great work guys
my name is alex roseo, counter strike
ill do the opposite of those dudes commenting
love you spunj and ynk!
Spuj...you know that CS is one of the games that do not support split graphics cards ? right...
So Moses thinks yekinda will get back
In form but s1mple getting it back is definitely not happening interesting take and mindset 👀
holyy based, chad plays dayz
Why not get R-ez on the pod and ask him about midsummer?
Anyone else getting a weird echo or is it just me
pretty sure it's Moses, maybe bad mic or something
@@vokuhila6913it’s Moses, hearing ynk through his headphones. It’s getting picked up by the mic.
The Amouranth Angle is Wild 🤣🤣
YNK will drink it from the tap.
5th
fist like yeyy
yeyyyy
Hey Chad, your opinions are bad and you should feel bad!
love,
- a random egg of a human on the internet
"Straight from the source" IM DEAD 🤣

thought stewie was going to be in this since he had mentioned it during his stream, rip
seems like there is a bit of feedback coming from moses's mic? another great episode nonetheless
Janko hates cadian
favorite podcast atm, nice work fellas
Should cadian consider shelving his AWP/secondary AWP and go in the more common IGL-brain direction like a Karrigan or Hooxi?
he's an awper...
@@DurealzForReal for sure but a lot of awpers struggle with cs2 and having and awper IGL is a bit costly if he doesn't get good impact, but it was just a throwaway comment either way

Have been using a 3Dconnexion CADmouse with a big middle mouse button for work, kinda dont like using regular mice now even at home.
Amouranth hired Tastosis to commentate her awful gameshow, surely there's a chance you could make something happen.
maybe i need to hate comment to get shouted out by spunj
you guys made it to lantia??? beast
49:00 Spunj is spot on here
16:56
Zonic?
liquid +jks
😢
I like the idea but wouldn’t jks and naf have a lot of conflicting roles?
Notification boys
Spunj seems to get more arrogant over time.
I think he's just Australian
First ❤
