I wanna thank you guys for going at it, again and again, without regrets of the shitty situation we are all in.... i've said it before, but let me say it again - i truly appreciate HLTV Confirmed, you guys are just awesome :) Especially considering these times it's just nice to have some CS content that are not just the new nades, epic kills, and games all over the place , but some actual content considering the wheres and abouts of everything around CS. The discussion on RMR and a given future major i find particular really interesting, and i'm sure Valve are listening to some of your more than valid points on this subject. And Launders, thank you for telling players to invest a few bucks in a f***ing decent cam! And btw SpunJ.... get over yourself on the 6th man, every team lied to you (Virtual hugs) - Embrace the storyline, if it's Bubzkji never gets to play or someone got sold for the biggest amount of money ever, or Nivera gets to play 1 map out of a 7 map pool ;) And also SpunJ - go to Denmark, you are few hours away and you'll just be better off on the rona situation - ask ESL to fix a hotel room in Copenhagen, and meet some friends! And Striker, you're on point, candles are not meant to smell - you keep telling them! And Prof.... have another smoothie! Thanks again! #ToTheStars
Machine and spunJ have become the top tier in terms of CS talent. They both host, analyze, color and play-by-play comentate all between the two of them. The Beijng finals was great from the both of em. Congrats on the award win too brother.
Spunj is spot on regarding the ADs on ESL's channel. It's so annoying when I want to tune in and then greeted by 3 of the same ADs every single time. So many times I was like screw it and tuned in to Flashpoint instead.
@@luvingyouu Yeah, I gotta tune in on RUclips the next time I watch ESL. Twitch ADs is getting more annoying than RUclips. Never though I would be saying this, damn. lol Plus, being able to rewind on the fly is a very very good feature of RUclips streaming.

I love this show but this was the first episode I was fully watched without skipping on little part. I hope they will have this little format every once in a while to catch up with the more background side
Twitch ads midround are the primary reason I switched over to youtube a long time ago, and the stupidest part is the ads will be the exact same one playing 3-5 times in a row...
u know what launders said about "listening to the game " that is 100% me ..i have wireless headsets i always have a csgo game on doing stuff around the house ..i think i listened to/watched like 10 hours of cs today (lockdown not much else to do)
Back in the day I would often fall asleep to csgo as background noise. For the past couple years I haven’t been enjoying casting nearly as much due to a number of factors. I really liked Lurpis’ idea of a tri cast with 2 ex pros and a colour commentator. I have been less interested in being told what I can already see and the same surface level analysis although I understand how good play by play can help viewers and listeners especially who are not paying complete attention to watching the game, follow the game.
Imagine being me, I started my cs go experience during Katowice. I got ONE (1) full match of viewing experience with a crowd and then nothing. I hate my life
Regarding the twitch ads, since I have had a decent internet speed I actually stopped using youtube because of the quality and twitch chat. The reactions are nice to have when something "pog" happens. This year was impossible because of the ads, luckily I didn't miss any important rounds and decided early to watch it on youtube. It happened multiple times tho before I stopped trying twitch but don't know if it keeps happening. Anyways, the point is that I really do think the problem was a big deal because many did the same as I did and, once this problem is fixed, maybe the broadcast should be more interactive with the twitch chat, because a bunch of people spamming !DHLDROP A the whole time isn't engaging at all. Now I need a reason to come back to twitch and honestly I cant see any.
There are so many cheaters it’s impossible to save online cs until cheaters will be banned and cs will get a functioning anti cheat.. if not is worthless playing..
theyre right. tier 1 CS is so boring right now. the same teams competing on the same maps with the same casters. i put on some random japanese first strike event with 2 no name teams and that low level valorant match was way more entertaining than the finals of a 250000 dollar CS event. i think everyone needs a break
its online, may as well make garbage online even better with best of 1s. these complaints are bizarre. if you feel compelled to do every event possible and TOs think 16 hour days are reasonable, then there is something else that's wrong. degrading the format because you're overworked and there's too much shit going on is... a strange solution, conveniently tailored to a certain perspective.
Cs will die it's not as exciting anymore, this online thing is boring af, and the same maps over and over is fucking BORING to watch. Remove dumb molotovs and stupid smokes and put them autos at 2000$ and you gonna have fackin ACTION

As an Aussie it's so nice having a commentator like SPUNJ, I wouldn't be able to understand a word if not for him speaking fluent Australian.

Watch on RUclips with or without a Adblock
So much easier, you can rewind, maybe not as good quality ? But I don't notice it really bc Idc that much.
Esl or dreamhack because i feel dreamhack is worse with ads especially they stream exclusively on twitch
I watch on RUclips because less adds. I was watching a match and it was 14-14 and then 9 adds like come on twitch
@@luvingyouu I get better quality on Yt as India doesn't have a twitch server
@@luvingyouu Yeah, I gotta tune in on RUclips the next time I watch ESL. Twitch ADs is getting more annoying than RUclips. Never though I would be saying this, damn. lol

@@Klepske lol ikr
Launders the goat best episode yet!
SPUNJ, CSGO omnipresence and basically ESL spokesperson. You know he's incredibly pissed when he gets this mad on stream.
This hltv podcast would be alright without him but with spunj it becomes so amazing
J
Launders bringing the CS nostalgia feels
I love this show but this was the first episode I was fully watched without skipping on little part. I hope they will have this little format every once in a while to catch up with the more background side

justice for chad
the gentle laborer shall no longer suffer

What a sad life you live
Very enjoyable episode. Launders was great!
Yo when xtrfy gunna realise that for all audio listeners their ads are just a quick vibe
just to emphasise this. THIS IS A PODCAST 'advertising'
10:31 jokes on you prof, that's not what my thousands of hours in mm are telling me
Imagine being me, I started my cs go experience during Katowice. I got ONE (1) full match of viewing experience with a crowd and then nothing.
I hate my life
The new intro is cool
best intro ever

Started watching on youtube too. Twitch ads are shit when you see 1/3 i just close. :D
another day another deeeem - podcast
For the people in the comment I recommend checking launders channel out
Does a lot of demo reviews
you can have multiple inputs to a headset and use 2 teamspeak servers - you cant stop coaches (nb not coach) talking to players online.
could even hack the other teams pc and listen in live lol - where theres a will theres a way
Spunj's story about the open window was 100
on timeouts they can switch webcam video source with pre recorded webcam video and still talk
Perkele
Poor Lukas... he is doing his best!
We still facing around 50% matches against hacker in MM with disposable account, so when will the VAC improved?
What rank are you? Mge here and I don't meet hackers almost never
@@mikikulesza Asia here, my rank SMFC GE depends on how many hackers online that week :/
@@ioptional I faced cheaters in 3 consecutive matches and I'm global, so no more mm for me, only faceit
There are so many cheaters it’s impossible to save online cs until cheaters will be banned and cs will get a functioning anti cheat.. if not is worthless playing..
SPUNJ billionaire confirmed.
Candles leave dust all over!
theyre right. tier 1 CS is so boring right now. the same teams competing on the same maps with the same casters. i put on some random japanese first strike event with 2 no name teams and that low level valorant match was way more entertaining than the finals of a 250000 dollar CS event. i think everyone needs a break
Make a server for 10 year coin owners. Less hackers, more veterans.
just watch the games on youtube with adblocker EZ 0 ad
Ads are still force playing very often, im losing my mind! 😠 For fuck sake twitch, damn it!
23:02 bahah
striker loves the F word
its online, may as well make garbage online even better with best of 1s. these complaints are bizarre. if you feel compelled to do every event possible and TOs think 16 hour days are reasonable, then there is something else that's wrong. degrading the format because you're overworked and there's too much shit going on is... a strange solution, conveniently tailored to a certain perspective.
Bring back Lans best CS ever RSA
BLAST currently is the best tourney to sit watch and enjoy
Yess. Whenenver I watch other events I always turn off thr stream blast is so fun
We can't. Period.

Amazing!!! Congrats!!!
Hi the first I'm DAD
Cs will die it's not as exciting anymore, this online thing is boring af, and the same maps over and over is fucking BORING to watch. Remove dumb molotovs and stupid smokes and put them autos at 2000$ and you gonna have fackin ACTION
