Electronic's English is better than I thought, it seems he understands a decent amount. Hope he keeps learning CS, English and expanding his leadership qualities because he can be an asset to any team in future then.
he could speak english pretty well back in 2018 already. but he didnt feel comfortable speaking it infront of a camera- thats why s1mple was with him in interviews. or just s1mple doing the interviews alone.
@@AstroSully lol thanks but it's literally the reason why "Savvy Gaming Group has purchased esports tournament and league operators ESL and FACEIT for a combined $1.5 billion to form the ESL FACEIT Group."
I would love more of these, it’s great hearing players interact with each other in a more natural way than the fast kinda fake feeling segments during ad breaks
this is honestly so amazing to have you guys pick some players from the teams and have a sit down. love especially the heroic cloud9 talk for the ingame and thought about cs and the players it was deeper than i thought and could see resemblence of highly skilled fighter mentality. g2 and vitality was a lot of fun and the talk about the old days was so great it was truly unique. ence and astralis was more calm more generic not in a bad way but was exactly what i was expecting. not too much not too little. it was like 3 different worlds almost how the players thought and what they wanted to talk about. my fav of those is prolly the second "podcast" being all pros and strategy. the funniest was the last bit with g2 and vitality all thorough fun and good old days. need more of this for sure
These insights are so great, and I love them being very chill in their banters and having fun! Its great that players that dont get a lot of speaking could speak today, and also that the IGLs were so great in sharing their mindset and how they think when approaching the game.
what makes these 2 hours so great is that it all is banter even tho you can tell there is like invisible mini-beef in the air during some of the convos. But thats what keeps the fire burning in cs too
Great content from ESL! 🔥 Loved the interaction and banter between the pros, you also get to hear so many insights and genuine opinions about other teams and the game in general! This should really be done more often 🔥❤️
On the topic of Danish vs Swedish cs I think its just cause Denmark now has so many players and Sweden just has very few to choose from. Growing up basically everyone I knew was playing CS, and while I dont know what it was like in other nations, I could imagine that CS wasnt such a big part of everyones youth, but CSGO just got really big in Denmark and every single kid was playing it so 10 years later youre gonna have a lot players in the talent pool just because the game was much more popular
Swedish cs has fallen so much because they didn't take any of young talents in the past, first time when swedish cs got "younged" was in 2017 when rez joined nip, before that they basically recycled same players, same thing kinda happened to polish cs, real first time when new players showed up, was michu joining already failing VP, if in both examples teams got new young players, both of scenes would have better lifetime
love trash talk as long as it stays related to the game, bringing up personal issues or attacking their character is classless, but clowning them for a bad in-game decision/aim/etc is perfectly fine and brings a lot of fun to the audience
@@raintrunberg2195 could have the reverse effect and make them play even better. Don’t forget they won kato at the beginning of the year while having the pressure of the favorite to win.
trash talking has always been an esential part of cs. i feel like outside of the game there is no bad blood between the players while it adds extra hype and emotion to the match
2:02:20 This right here, had MUCH MUCH stronger "finale" feeling as the real ultimate event of CSGO than that garbage-ass Paris Major, how blast butchered my boy csgo major will never be forgotten.
As someone who played CSGO only a bit and just started watching CSGO esports. Why is Ted Mosby interviewing players ? I guess beeing an architect is hard these days

I agree tho the content is fire
Agree
Boston major set up was the best, where the players are facing each other and everyone is around them. That was the most hype event ever.
Berlin 2019 had that too! Remember magisk just shouting and pointing at the other team
i would rather Faceit major setup
PGL Krakow 17 was cool also.
Rio was mental though
Yes definitely the best event in csgo history, the schedule was on time, no too much delay and dont have too many broadcasting issue

Speaking with Apex and Niko is so awesome. So much knowledge. Pls invite them again
Loving the longer form conversations with the pros. It's great to see the players outside the server too
I love that all the players are low key friends outside the server
@user-fc8xw4fi5v And for the players it just work and a sport. Like Ronaldo and Messi lowkey being friends it's the same thing
Yeah it's a videogame bruv. It's not a combat sport
love the podcast-format, awesome to get to know the players like this
Amazing! love the idea! insight from the players is such a joy!
Love getting inside perspective from the players, so interesting
Banger video! Somehow made me extremely nostalgic for old pro CS even though I only started playing in 2019
this is honestly so amazing to have you guys pick some players from the teams and have a sit down. love especially the heroic cloud9 talk for the ingame and thought about cs and the players it was deeper than i thought and could see resemblence of highly skilled fighter mentality.
g2 and vitality was a lot of fun and the talk about the old days was so great it was truly unique.
ence and astralis was more calm more generic not in a bad way but was exactly what i was expecting. not too much not too little.
it was like 3 different worlds almost how the players thought and what they wanted to talk about.
my fav of those is prolly the second "podcast" being all pros and strategy.
the funniest was the last bit with g2 and vitality all thorough fun and good old days.
need more of this for sure

I'm loving the content you guys have been putting out around this event. Please keep this type of stuff coming, it's awesome!
I always love this podcast type of content! ESL is firing on all cylinders right now 🔥🔥
Holy Fuck, BlameF's voice is so badass-like. It perfectly matches how BIG this guy is.
he embodied the juggernaut monicker when he was still at the complexity.
Best content from ESL by faaaar!
This format is amazing! CS is the only game who can make an 2 hour long interview/session with pro players intresting. I love the CS community!
Podcast counter strike is a great idea, learned a lot thanks
This is great content. Thank you ESL
wow just wow thank you so much esl for this kind of content
if I could like this video 1000times I would do it, pls more of this ESL, great content
Love this format! All these guys are so interesting to listen to!
this was great, we need more of this :D
Quality content. This is what the next generation of E Sports should be like. Props to ESL. Thank you so much for this 🙏🙏
Awesome content!! Really enjoyed the format, hoping we get more of these interviews
This content is fantastic, alresdy putting an hour into this content. Solid stuff
love this long form content!!
Nice to see blamef being modest , he’s right one tournament result is not enough and astralis has definitely been on a uptrend once glaive got benched

Sweden was the best counter strike nation from 2009-15, there were tons of great players, how the swedish talent pool has become so small is crazy.
Swedish cs has fallen so much because they didn't take any of young talents in the past, first time when swedish cs got "younged" was in 2017 when rez joined nip, before that they basically recycled same players, same thing kinda happened to polish cs, real first time when new players showed up, was michu joining already failing VP, if in both examples teams got new young players, both of scenes would have better lifetime

time?
That was an amazingly insightful video.
Been waiting for this Video for along time
