      They don't even have a major.. just a grand slam.
      Look what the other teams achieved in their era.. lol
      Liquid were just tr1 for a little while cus astralis were taking a break, but definetly didn't have an era.
      Just look what NIP-FNATC- SK achieved in their areas, and compare that to liquid's grand slam

    • @sejinjang4541

      Pudie but csgo is the most popular game because it doesn’t have 1000 weird quirks or random variables that go into deciding the outcome like mobas or bg games or even siege.
      There is something special about crafting a game with 20 years of balance and meta that evolves with 2 very simple overarching themes: Tactical meta, and individual skill. It’s the reason the Japanese game of Go is infinitely more complex than chess, though in go all pieces have exactly the same value, it has less rules and generally is the ‘simpler’ game.
      Sure games like siege are technically more complex, but the nuance of csgo is that its simplicity is its strength. It is easy to watch and understand, easy to pick up and play but incredibly difficult to master. I would even argue that the simplistic nature of the game creates an even more diverse ecosystem for competitive play. There is no OP position, or class, or single strategy. Cs strikes a beautiful balance between simple rules, a soft meta, ridiculously high individual skill cap and if you are creative enough, never ending new possibilities for strategy to outsmart your opponents.
      Not to discount those other shooters and their metas, but IMO sometimes less is more. In CS and competitive shooters I think this is the case.

    The reason it's so hard to stay on top in any competition is that all of your strategies are studied by every opposing team. They are not only looking for ways to counter your play but also things to incorporate into their own. Hoping TL will bounce back after some rough losses because it's much better for fans to have two superpowers (Astralis/Liquid) than just one.

    What im noticing so far with NA teams is that they are heavily momentum-reliant, whereas EU teams such as Astralis and ENCE (other EU teams as well, im just giving examples) maintain around the same lvl of play, no matter how hard they are getting outplayed and losing. They always manage to adjust mid-match and keep their calm. Even if they dont end up winning off of a bad start they make it competitive. When I watch NA teams winning the first few rounds they get hyped up and confident, but when they lose the first few rounds , they usually decline so much from their usual strategic play and just passively rely on smn from the team to pop off individually. I think that this is why NA teams are so inconsistent. Liquid is the 1st team I have seen from NA that have managed to be somewhat consistent when it comes to mental momentum, but they still need a lot of work to reach EU teams.

      From watching a few streams of NA players, it's obvious why, they like to dramatize allot, more so than EU players, and drama doesn't go well with mental game, since every single thought you have affects you more than you'd think, when you start overthinking your death or start thinking you're falling behind, you're fucked, that's most likely what goes trough their minds and is probably the reason they are so momentum based, because when you switch it around and they're winning, and over dramatizing their win, they'll be in a really good mood and they'll play better because of it.
      And this is great advice for everyone who plays, make sure you keep your train of thought clean, stay focused on the game and don't think your thoughts are meaningless and don't have any impact on you, because they are literally you, so make sure the only thing going on inside your head is the game and how to win, you have to "become" counter-strike to be truly good at it :)

It’s strange, it’s not anything special, but... it’s the absolute greatest quality video I have ever seen. I can’t quite explain it, it just is. There’s others I like better cuz they’re funnier, but this is hands down the highest quality 10 minutes and 33 seconds of RUclips content ever made.

    I think device knew liquid had to be atleast on partial tilt so since liquid knew astralis just dedicated to a ramp crunch and device was the only *Known* survivor who fell mustve fell back after that moli, devices play was counting on them assuming that he would go back and play a loose hold since he was awping. No way he would sit at the concrete after we [liquid] just beat your [astralis]ramp crunch. Either he would be at a close angle kennyS raid boss style looking for another pick to then run to another angle to pick another, or he runs to get a loose hold and wait for a rotate or more info of a push.
