I'm from Bosnia, so I'm probably biased, but this is hands down the best CS podcast I've ever listened to. I already knew a part of Niko's origin story since I was one of the kids attending those tournaments his parents hosted back in the day, but hearing it from him is even crazier, literally a child of CS. So happy he made it this big, and he's winning now with Hunter.
I ain't even from bosnia . But niko is my favorite player . So i love this episode as well !!! Niko as a person is inspiring af. Him not giving up after manny failures and improving always.
I’m from russia and niko is my favourite person in the world CS. I’m happy that g2 found their way and become stronger. With love from Russia ❤️G2 🇷🇺🇷🇺🇷🇺
please keep doing these origin story chill vibe chats with as many pros as you can, easily the fastest 3 and half hours in my entire life. Love the regular pods too but having Niko on for beers and banter is an absolute banger.
Good shit gents, at 31 and competitive cs behind me its always good to keep up with the game in ways like this without playing it. Love the niko origin story, (mind blowing) that he and hunter's family both own net cafe's and grew up on lan. Cheers MainzE
I'm 30 and I just got back into watching counter-strike and cs related content. Very cool to see the scene is still doing good. I've been jumping on faceit after a 3 year cs hiatus and I'm washed, though. Haha!
thank you guys for this WHERE u find the time to do this is beyond me , i can t express HOW much i love this , thank you again ps, my kids started playing CS @7 :) i only let them play against bots till they were 9-10 though now they are 13/14 and i dont stand a chance i get " hey Dad GET GOOD OLD MAN" hahah
So excited to follow Monesy's career. Kid is insane and seems to be pretty mature for someone as young as him. Thanks for the pocast boys. Always amazing to have some insight into what it's like to live the dream of playing this awesome game for a living.
God damn this is excellent, my inner CS fan is so happy. Weird how people will place such weird expectations on CS players. Of course it would make sense they lose a couple games, they have been playing nonstop and building back momentum after career lows. It was weird how people were reacting on HLTV like they're washed and the era is over after one loss. This team still has a lot of fire and potential in the rest of the season. People act like CS players are robots and dehumanize them, when they are simply professionals doing a job like anyone else... It is amazing that we have so much talent and culture in this esport and we should all be kinder to each other and remember that we do this for the love of the game. This is NiKo's lowest point in his career statistically yet G2 is still winning. Truly an amazing story to see a great like this be able to flourish in a team and not feel like he constantly has to post his highest season ever to win, as CS fans we should be happy for NiKo and for G2 and where this team is at. It's a cliche at this point, but this really reminds me of old Astralis days where they were finally able to get the pieces they needed and overcome mental blocks to really win. One can only imagine all the emotions this team has gone through in the past few months. This type of shit is what CS is about! Teamwork and brotherhood/sisterhood... They've got everything done that they needed to have an excellent season and then some. Good luck to the boys
So fucking glad Niko came to chill with the boys, I remember him saying that he didn’t do podcasts but would be willing to do one with Chad since he is an ex pro and knows a lot about the game. Sick new episode fellas as always
Niko, Spunj being an ex pro,Ynk being an ex lower tier pro and working the desk and moses having been the coach of liquid. Its the golden 4 for cs podcasts
Dude I listen to podcasts everyday… this has easily become top 3 for me. I look forward each week boys, thank you for bringing the juice and making the best CS podcast going. Fucking awesome content if you’re an avid fan / student of the game.
I love this podcast. Niko is my favorite player. This is a match made in heaven. Huge thanks to Niko for taking the time and the talent for lining it up. +1 for the Niko gym marketing angle, I would legit arrange some vacations to go there as a pilgrimage. Bless you all.
i love drunk yanko, he has so much respect and admiration for a player like niko that he can't stop glazin him up. I don't mean this in a bad way, but in more of an envious way. I wan't to one day experience the kind of relationship it seems that yanko and niko have. Old head bringing up a young gunner watching him prosper into arguably the greatest rifler in csgo right now, he must feel so proud seeing someone from his region prosper to such heights. Feels like genuine friendship love
After many years of pundits saying that he was a bad teammate because of how he vented his frustration, it's great to see this humble side of NiKo. It's clear that he knows that the team around him are very important to this period of success. m0nesy couldn't have found a better team to win with because he has the steadiest teammate in the game (Hunter) to keep him focused on reaching his future place as the greatest player in the game. All whilst having the best rifler in the world taking the heat away from him, and JKS as a fourth star. Crazy lineup. 4 of them have been top 20 players in their career. Hooxi and Hunter must be man managing this team perfectly. Brilliant to see everything working together, no matter how long this run of success lasts.
I’m not from Bosnia, and don’t hold a bias at all. This is hands down the best CS Podcast I've ever listened to. Fuck yes that origin story. 👌 The sheer love of the game in this conversation, it’s what we want to hear, what we love. Lesgodaboys. Keep ‘‘em coming hot and swanky.
I remember playing with NiKo when he was about 6-7 years old ... he and his cousin .. we were 15-16 years old at the time and always needed someone to form the team .. since his dad owned the lan-caffe he was always there, playing CS ... even at his young age he was as good as we were ... we called him Nidzo :D .. and yes he is Serbian from Bosnia ..
This was one of the best podcasts I have ever listened to, I love the fact that on this channel no one needs to have a filter on, it's so casual and they can say whatever they want
This is a gem of podcast, listening to ynk, spunk and moses talk CS. So much better than expected! Came here for Niko, sticking around for the chill vibes. Feedback: Would appreciate if you guys sat more openly, and we could see chad and moses better, with clearer cam quality. Other than that, 12/10!
My favorite pro. Great podcast as I expected. I always knew Niko played since he was very very young but never knew his parents as well as Hunter's parents both had LAN cafes and were so into CS. The Kovac family must be extremely proud of them both. Great story.
@@jugi1231 its a new fuckin trend where everyone deserves an oscar no matter how stupid it is. and no it deff doesnt deserve it, and yes, oscar is only movies
This is gold ! Nothing else to say ... Wish more players come up for this invitaion and speak about they story and funny stories about they carrer or life in general ... I'm subscribed ... GG . have a good one ! Blesses !
I am just getting into csgo esports. Someone on reddit recommended this podcast. I am glad I checked it out. It was a balast to listen to. Best 3 hrs spent.
This is my favourite cs podcast, so much insights that you never know from just playing faceit or matchmaking. Spunj looks like he still has the competitive spirit left in him! he should consider becoming a coach when he's bored of casting
Great podcast i enjoyed it but all i want from this in the future is to turn up the volume a little bit more, i have the volume on 300% (chrome extension) and only now i can hear it like normally but still super good podcast!
The problem with Vertigo: EVERY round 3-4 people go A ramp where there will be smoke, spam through smoke from both T and CT, 1-2 people go B and show themselves - then make dicision after all smokes cleared on A ramp. Its the most boring to watch by far
I was not a fan of niko before this. It was just because i did not know him. I am from a motorsports backgrund and that is so family orientated and I recognise nikos backgroud so well. It hits the feels
Pretty cool content :) Gotta love hearing Ynk talking about his coaching times. I bet he's gotta a lot to say about the environment during Mibr but he's too cool to let it out. As a brazilian I'd love to hear it all 😜 Maybe you could get Fallen one of theses days, surely that would provide a very nice conversation.
Niko on a 3 hour podcast? This is gonna be an instant banger
Cool to see Niko on a podcast! Loving the video format guys keep it up!

aaah Bosnia, the land of landmines
Good stuff your from Bosnia because Niko is from Serbia🥰
@hoydenn2276 no he is Serbian, but from Bosnia
The reaction from Spunj after Niko said jks has a higher ceiling then Olof was so funny. Best part of the podcast for me.
2:45:05 onwards
Absolutely hilarious. Spunj grew a diamond down there
yea casters oppinion vs pro player , very tough to choose xD
spunj thinks he knows better than the greatest rifler of all time, what an idiot.
Olof GOAT 🐐
All kinds of history being made recently.
Perfect timing for this btw, covering almost half of my shift.
You took NiKo's first time and went at it for almost three hours and a half, god dayum. 10/10
How do you manage to make it sound sexual XD

Get them on faceit if u haven't already, they are a prime age to start faceit

kinda nice to see the lads having a beer together
i'd give much and more to go out on a night in the pub with ynk niko and spunj
This was 3 hours of pure wholesomeness. Loved every bit of it!! Thank you for making these
Cs would not be as big without these 3 casters, literally more important for the scene than any player. Legends 💯
i just spent 3hours and a half of my free day listening ,this is by far the greatest CS conversation i ve ever heard

Loved this episode! Big surprise to see the video on Spotify also....didn't realise Spotify did video. Good shit.
Great stuff, I never listen to anything that's more than 3 minutes usually, yet I managed to listen to the whole thing in one go.

Best podcast ever! NiKolinho volimo te❤
this was a god like episode ... and i watched it 1 year late but its still god like no wonder why Chad told the guys that its his favorite CS talk
This was such an amazing episode, really hoping for more like this. Felt like i was part of a conversation between friends. Awesome job lads.
Bring Zywoo too when his group comes up
@nicollas Finco Still decent enough for conversation
Great to see those pixels with Spunj and Moses:)

Damn this is top quality content. This sort of stuff is why CSGO is such a great game.
the old cs stories are gold.

i kept thinking my sound was going through the wrong output its so quiet until the initial clap lmao
I'm just happy to hear they MIGHT play overpass cause I hate watching vertigo as well.
Holy shit, this was so entertaining and chill, ty very much..
Best CS podcast yet! Ynk said it right about Niko's origin story being an anime plot 😁
Easily the best cs content I’ve seen
The absolute disrespect from moses for putting his drink down without taking a sip after the cheers man smh
hell yea
