This x100 + PLEASE gimme Thorin too as well as both at StarLadder/StarSeries/i-League(whatever they choose to call it). Thorin and Richard on a desk is always top tier content and they can make technical issues nonexistent as they can carryover all the time.
@@hazemore7192 its best to watch yourself, either the vod or when griff eventually puts out the youtube edit. The best abridged version i can give is that rich came out the other side of the major a changed man.
It's so cool. If you compare how he acts, how he talks, what he emphasizes, its clear that nothing he said on yesterday's stream was a lie. And I'm so happy for him.
richard was brilliant on the desk. so many zingers, my favourite was " he shit the bed so bad johnny depp wanted to take him to court" funny as hell. absolutely love richard ever since the i series events in england and cadred to now. hope so much he gets more goes at it if hes up for it. love u man!
Honestly, Richard's delivery with longform videos is some of the easiest to listen to out of any creator, streamer or RUclipsr. Absolutely crushes the art of making discussion interesting
It's why I keep watching his content even though I've not touched CS in probably 2 years, kinda gutted I didn't know he was hosting again as I'd have checked it out.
Richard you were one of the reasons I watched as much of the major as I did. You and Puckett are my favorites and make broadcasts so much better! I hope you do more please love ya
Richard's talk about "making the analysis desk great again" was so fascinating. I had also felt for a long time that there's something wrong with the desk segments as of late, that they're dry, dull, and boring, which was a shock to me because when I started watching pro CS (days of Rich and Duncan and Yanko and Moses on desks) desk segments were my favourite part, looked forward to even more than the game. But not being an expert in TV production I couldn't understand what's missing or why that is the case. But Rich explained it perfectly and, amazingly, HIS METHOD WORKS. I LOVED these desk segments and it was so good to see analysts like Pimp and Maniac which I used to think were on the dull side be so great and entertaining as well as knowledgeable. That segment with the depressed and angry Maniac after the first map of the Vitality vs. Faze series killed me. Great to have you back Rich, no one does it quite the same.
Watching yesterdays stream was incredible - it takes great humilty to admit when one is wrong like that, and the level of honesty, transparency and self reflection you showed what a great person you are. Respect!
@@FRix73I think it would be best if you saw for yourself! The vod is up on his twitch channel, and there will surely be clips from it uploaded on here as well
This was the first time in a long time that I've actually paid attention to pre-game desk segments. I always stay after the game for the post-game analysis but just never really cared about the prediction and matchup info. But your hosting was just so entertaining and captivating. Here's to hoping for more RL appearances!
not watched it all this yet, but just want to say its great to hear you're on top of mental health and stuff mate, love to hear it. great job with the major as well, brilliant event, definitely one of my favourites. whole thing was enjoyable from start to finish
Richard talking about his esports work, and Im just waiting for some more crusader kings and football manager. Hope your life keeps kicking ass more than it kicks yours
Thanks for the mention Richard and I'm glad the framing of my article tickled you 😅 Wasn't my intention to disrespect Sam! Amended the article: "Sam Davies (aka lolbanelor), who was previously a creative partner for many of Richard Lewis' videos [...]" Good to have you back working a Major. Dom
So excited to see you back at it, I love hearing the excitement in your voice, it bleeds through the whole video, wishing you an awesome major and hopefully many more if you want them!
I admire, respect and just am completely stunned at your realness, and your openness. You're not alone, just like the rest of us mate! Much love to you, and I'm happy you're getting better man
I can definitely agree with the sentiment of long videos. I always enjoy your content and it’s nice to see somebody in the media isn’t bought and paid for. Keep it up dude, love the content and congratulations on getting back on the desk.
Just imagining the Ice Cube song "It was a good day" but with Richard saying he woke up to not getting any death threats when getting announced to working the Major. Glad to see you back in CS
You are the only reason I watch this major. The past few years I've just looked up results. But when I heard Rich was back on the horse I got flooded with nostalgia, and I enjoyed every second of it!
im really glad you did pgl, i was buzzing when the announcement dropped, glad youve agreed to do more pgl and i hope we see you along side thorin again! the banter was great at stockholm and made me realise how boring other majors were without both of you there
turned up for the final on Sunday and was shocked to see RL on the desk. Was great to see and I'm glad this video was held until after the event so it wasn't spoiled for me. Looking forward to future desks more than ever.
I was really suprised and happy to see you on the Major! You do such a great job hosting and its kinda weird to see you that professional and serious at the Major, when I usually see you on your RUclips page :) Reminds me on the (at least for me) golden ages of CSGO, like your gig at Eleague. I also struggle with mental health and know how hard it can be on body and soul. I think you did a great job, you are a legend and I hope you get your shit together ;-)
We need people like you in our community. You're a necessity to the cs/esport reporting community. The fact you have haters for the wrong reasons speaks volumes to how much you actually do for us, much love from Texas.
So much respect for the honest talk about your own mental health, mate. You don't owe the community shit but the good it does do discuss it like this is immeasurable
I didn't even know you were hosting before I started watching it. Haven't been keeping up with CS2 (for obvious reasons) but really wanted to tune in to the major. Very pleasant surprise to see you at the desk, you crushed it!
I haven't watched Counter-strike in years but I was pleasently surprised to see you on the desk again when I decided to check the major out. I might watch more events if you keep showing up :)
We love you richard ! personally i would love to see you on the desk at all the big events! ps. at yesterdays stream it was genuinely nice to see you being more positive hope it keeps trending. i now all about mental health and self medication. go get it my man
Aw fuck man, I don't follow CS at all but I would've loved to tune in to see you on the broadcast. Just realized after looking it up that the major is already over lol. Glad it seems like it was a positive experience for you overall Rich
I always held Richard in high regard, but him coming out in such a longform Video and talking about his mental health issues and how that affected his Work and his life in general for the worse is really smth. to applaud and tipping our hat for. Was a great show, and thx for showing once again that we all have our demons but they are fightable and he still got it in him! Touche :)
Big shout to you for being able to be public about your MH/SUD stuff. It's does volumes for the community to know they aren't the only ones going through it and the haters can fuck themselves. As a drug/alcohol counselor and person who n recovery I'm super proud of you for your progress towards recovery. Doubt you'll see, or need it, but HMU if you ever need to speak about addiction/recovery.
Looking better physically than I think I've ever seen (since 2016ish) Rich good job. Your recent new lease of energy has motivated me to get through some tough shit right now thanks.
Richard you were amazing as a desk host for the PGL major. Also, the suit you had during the finals was on fire!!!. Glad to have you back in the scene.
Looooooong time fan, rare commenter. I wanted to congratulate you for being hired after I saw your Twitter post about it, but it completely slipped my mind by the time I was able to do it. I can honestly say - it felt like the major itself became 30% better just by you being there. You always stay objective, you are a model professional, you have the knowledge, you command respect of your peers, you have the required charm for a host position. And, the fact that you were there gives me hope. There still are other people in this community (other than you) who know what they are doing, and will make the correct choices. Hope you had a blast. Hope to see you hired at the next major too!
I got to go to the live eleague events since i live in town. It was honestly like a dream seeing y'all up on the desk. The events were electric in person too.
this is the video i was waiting for after i saw on the desk at the major i was pretty surprised when i heard ur voice as one of the first games i watched was ending
I don't understand why people hate you so much Richard, only recently found out about you and really enjoying the videos, not even that much into esports but find your videos entertaining. You're a down to earth reasonable person, keep it up.
The bit about having a dynamic desk is so accurate from a viewer perspective, for both casuals and enthusiasts. For the most part, I switch off during analysis segments, especially with ESL events because it feels so static and like I'm sitting in a classroom being lectured to. I can watch a demo at home, its not exactly the most entertaining thing to over-analyse how some new smoke is slightly more effective. I usually go to events with my dad and brother, both casual fans. Usually as soon as analysis segments start between maps, they pull out their phones and start watching the rugby or some shit. They barely know who Rich is but both at Stockholm and Copenhagen they instantly were like "oh, i like this guy" simply because of the more fluid format for the analysis desk he runs. In a way, it almost feels like you're part of the conversation. Whatever you noticed about the map that was just played will probably be brought up by one of the guys on the desk where the others will argue against it. Thought you did a great job at the major Richard, was one of the best CS events ive been to in a while.
i agree. soon as mauisnake or kassad get on its like "hey why isnt the camera on me?" "no no it needs to be on me" then its just a dickfest of who can be louder or say the more outlandish things.
In my opnion, you and stunna are the best hosts in CS. I don't follow other Esports, but as it pertains to CS, you two are my favorites. It was good to see you on the desk and you did a hell of a job.
Daamn. sitting at work listening to Richard talking about why he has long form content hit me in the reals... I use a lot of podcasts and shit to get me through my desk job :D
I started playing csgo when cago2 came out I’m very new but I love the competitive gameplay. And you were a fantastic caster. Hope to see you at other big events if I’m still watching.
Loved the desk segments at this major, everything was super on point from both hosts and the analysts. Only thing I noticed was sometimes the crowd was mixed super loud during desk segments and I missed what the analysts said sometimes.
I may not be your biggest fan, but your work at the Major was outstanding, you've made everyone on the stream articulate their ideas and answers based on interesting questions, and not just some chit chat between games. PGL made a great move bringing you and everyone recognizes that.
I heard you killed it on the desk and im really happy for you! I must confess, my ears are allergic to Pimps voice so i didn't watch, but im glad to hear you did well.
His ideas for desks are very close to how Mauisnake has been operating. American style, get people talking, desks. I bet there were more threads and mentions about Maui after the Major than all the desk analysts combined.
To anyone new to this channel, just know there's a goldmine of sick fun content with rich and sam shooti'n the shit. From the shroom forest trip of sam, to their h1z1 noot noot adventures, to deep seagull hatred (i agree). Weeks of gold 🔥
I don't comment on your videos much, but I do religiously follow every upload. Not to get parasocial, but I did want to say that the first part of the vod you showed a lot of self awareness and as someone who has followed the ups and downs of your career/life and been there when you went though the toughest periods of your life, it warmed my heart to hear that you've reached a point where you sound very certain you wanna do the major again and are once again excited; even if you still are that jaded old man at heart. I hope you're doing well Rich!
Richard, Esports needs you a hell of a lot more than you need Esports. The CS community has brilliant talent at hosts and casters. This is because of the foundation you built. It would be hard for me to walk away from something I poured so much of my life into and I can't blame you for changing your mind once in a while.
The most watched analysed desks in the UK are not popular because of they have excellent football opinion, but they have personality and banter each other. Roy Keane, Gary Neville, Micah Richards are perfect examples.I`ve heard Neville talking about the scandals of United more than how the team actually plays. It was great to see new personalities during this Major and CS needs more. Also they need more rivalries, it feels like it only really exist between Russian teams cause big int teams has been playing with/against each other week and week out for years. I would`ve liked to see more critisism from analyst and engage in controversial topics that makes the desk interesting between games.
I hope Richard gets to be a desk host at all the PGL events coming up in the following years, he did a fantastic job at the major
His work was so good, I saw his haters become his fans. He did amazing.
he already confirmed he’s agreed to work them (11 events iirc)
host at every major*, he's the goat
This x100 + PLEASE gimme Thorin too as well as both at StarLadder/StarSeries/i-League(whatever they choose to call it). Thorin and Richard on a desk is always top tier content and they can make technical issues nonexistent as they can carryover all the time.
That is why is the GOAT. Not Janko, not spunj, RICHARD IS THE GOAT. Second to him is Thoorin. Two very important figures in the esport world!
watching the opening minutes is surreal after watching yesterdays VOD.
what happened in yesterday's vod?

Honestly, one of the best majors ever in my opinion. Nice to have you back

I had forgot about how great desks used to be. This brought back lot of memories. Hope it goes back to that again.
Hearing you on the desk while tuning in to the major everyday was one of the highlights from this major
You killed it, Rich. To many more, hopefully. Also hope Thorin gets to do a couple events alongside you. Best duo on the desk.
So happy you are back in the game, the events aren't the same without you in them! ❤

Also they need more rivalries, it feels like it only really exist between Russian teams cause big int teams has been playing with/against each other week and week out for years. I would`ve liked to see more critisism from analyst and engage in controversial topics that makes the desk interesting between games.
