My problem with BlameF is one simple thing, he doesn’t win rounds. The reason I give Ropz/kscerato a pass is because they win rounds, BlameF since joining Astralis doesn’t win rounds. In COL it’s justified since the other four players (when they had obo) were so aggressive that BlameF winning clutches made sense. You could make a fair point that winning rounds with washed up xyp9x and burned out gla1ve is hard but kscerato proves that it’s possible if you’re truly world class. We understandably roasted Happy for the same thing a decade ago, BlameF isn’t any different.
To further explain my point, while stats wise maden was far from a star player during his tenure in Ence, all of his kills were impact kills that changed the tide of a game, BlameF is getting cosmetic frags that don’t close or influence the round in a meaningful way.
Dude just awoke an ancient memory of happy. Bro used to throw his teammates to the hyenas and then go beat his meat in a corner on the other side of the map. Probably the biggest baiter ever
Can't really agree here Hawka. I think there is a marked difference between the round situation the trade frags come in. he has good trade frag stats, but when you are trading a player in a 4v2 down to 4v1situation, that is no longer good enough impact. Suggesting him being ona bad team limited him & comparing him to Ropz especially is extremely unfair. Ropz on Mouz was still having defining impact in their victories and was sacrificing his numbers for his team playing really tough positions. you don't see Blame sacrifice his numbers for anybody. That is why he couldnt get the best out of Dev1ce especially. Frankly, I followed a lot of Danish CS, and NA CS when he was in CoL and always hated watching BlameF... Hes the kind of player with the playstyle and potential to be etither a top, top B site anchor on CT (because of his propensity for both staying alive/buying time and clutching) But also as a T, he has that potential as a god tier low sens aimer to be your 2nd man in the pack Niko style, lasering the trades, then deadly holding angles in post plants. He doesn't do either of those things. The issue, and reason i hate watching him is because you would never want to be on a team with him. The BaitF thing isnt just because Blame and Bait play on words... there is real fire behind that smoke. The number of times, across all his teams, you see him doing a 0 impact late lurk where he remains silent the whole time, doesn't take proper map control to allow his team a T side roation or draw any rotation from Cts, doesnt ever show any aggressive potential to open a round vs buys and ends up having 0 affect on the round, his team run into a stack and he gets 2-3 kills when the round was already gone... Then the times he isnt late lurking but is in the group taking site, the number of times he is totally separated from his team, last in, not the utility guy, just allowing 3-4 teammates to die before even coming through to trade the last is beyond unacceptable. I've screamed at my monitor wtf man so many times watching him clean up 2 over-zealous enemies overpeeking when in a 3 or 4 v1 because Blame had no round impact until it was too late and the opponents knew it so overpeeked. To me, the baiting is real, it is obvious, it skews his stats and makes him a 'Win more' player. I.e. hes putting up good numbers regardless of your teams success because he makes sure he gets his, but he isnt making you win more. Hes just situationally useful. I've never seen somebody with so many frags have so little impact at all levels of the game. the ONLY time you see him going agressive is in established anti-eco rounds. It is a damning pattern. Why would anybody want to play with that? Also... he clearly has huge input on the calls, as a vocal personality, even when he isnt first caller, he is making secondary calls as a lurker. This comes into question as his team is so often as aforementioned, running into stacks when he is the Lurk... why isnt he gaining the information, forcing rotations & making better secondary calls. then as an IGL himself, i think he has proven he doesnt have the ability at this point. Without K0nfigs agressive play to help balance out his passive style especially, he sticks out like a sore thumb and did on Astralis as a player, playing his own game, separate from his team.
Couldn’t agree more, as someone who watches most of the matches in major tournaments, he’s a player that’s very frustrating to watch. I can’t explain it the way you did but he’s lurks have almost zero impact and it’s particularly egregious when you consider the fact that’s he’s actually a good aimer with good game sense. If he didn’t bait as much he’d have so much more impact. Now the reason why he doesn’t get much hate is because he’s actually a good person in real life or he seems to be in interviews or in public when he talks in interviews. It’s very difficult to call people out when someone is a nice person even when they do something bad or odd. Which is why the casters have a hard time calling him out because they’re conflicted as it doesn’t reflect his personality. Furthermore, he’ll bait his team and clutch the round a good potion of the time. For example, on ancient he sends the team B ramp then baits them by coming cave. Everyone knows his baiting but it ends up being a 1v2 and he miraculously clutches the round. The bait at that point seems irrelevant because hey he so the round. How many times in a game has a team mate baited us but we forgave them because they made up for it by winning the round. I have one or two friends in my discord server that is like that and it’s really annoying when it happens to you. Even if the round is won it doesn’t feel right when it literally feels like you’re being sacrificed.
blameF is only the problem when he overestimates his abilities and tries to IGL. As a rifler he does put up good numbers, but I think he let the success of the coL roster get to his head.
blameF is a sick lurk tbh, he just needs to be a lurk/eco closer for literally any EU mix team and it would be a massive improvement for all parties involved...
@@xsision5513 or he wanted to be IGL in the first place, this aint first time we see a highly skilled individuals wanna be IGL and fell off; Niko Yekindar Electronic
Out of the two "baiter" Jame and BlameF, Jame is way more likeable, because you can see Jame is "baiting" for the higher chance to win the game and sometimes when I watch BlameF I genuinely think he is baiting for the stats
This might be the laziest video you've put out in recent memory, man - it's just "Look at these Complexity anti-eco rounds, here's a baitF meme, here's a couple of HLTV stat pages - all from CSGO, not the game we're playing now". There's absolutely zero actual work put in to 2024 Astralis and the problems they faced, which is such a deep topic that really needs to explored by a high-level analyst. This is churned out.
To be honest old cs go pros should prove themselves deally hard to make people hire them, in cs 2 new fresh youngsters are cheaper and shoot much better
Yes and very. It didn't took that much to figure it out. He would mostly be the last one surviving, barely not doing that much from the mid rounds and prior to it.
@@ballertheking1038 They for sure have similar ceilings, I'll give you that. Nawwk is just consistently better than Hallzerk, and that's really what Col needs.

@@supergilley04 I'm not one of the people calling it a fluke major win, but Navi aren't exactly a strong "major champ" team either. "No issues" is winning a tournament, which Complexity hasn't done. In fact, they're never even in the conversation for winning tournaments.
Honestly kscerato has the problem as blamef in astralis or col in 2021. He is furias best player so he plays on his own, because the team will honestly hinder him. And nobody can tell him to do something otherwise because he has the stats to back it up, but its not helping the rest of the team. I also believe people in similar roles have similar in game mentalities, for me blamef kscerato parallels are real.
ENCE -Kylar doesn't make sense for them and Liquid won't -skullz until after at least a year since they're in for 600k with skullz and blameF's contract is till 2026.
Didn't skullz use to play entry roles on Pain or whoever he played for before Liquid? Would maybe suggest move BlameF into Skullz roles and drop Yekindar for Skullz to take his roles.
@@Fyr35555 Nah, he was a dedicated lurker, especially once lux became Pain's primary spacetaker after NEKIZ's departure. biguzera also is much more aggressive. IIRC, skullz had a 14% opening rate which would puts him in the bottom 5%. Currently, he's in-line with other lurkers.
The tip-toeing is crazy. blameF's stats are the most inflated in the Tier 1 scene and he's by far the highest ecofragger. Take it from the horse's mouth: HLTV. Yes, blameF has great aim. Yes, blameF is amazing at getting multi-kills. Yes, blameF is a very good cerebral player. He has all the makings of a star. Problem is, his playstyle simply doesn't work in pro CS. His kills aren't impactful. His "openings" are off stacks where he gets run over because he's often isolated on CT if not playing for trades. He doesn’t know when to take initiative to the point that people compare him to Happy (though he's arguably worse). Every game it is more of the same; either blameF gets run over and calls for help or his team gets run over while he's flanking for 2 minutes. The only reason he has even been in the conversation in Tier 1 is because he has the skillset to be a KSCERATO, a NiKo, or a ropz. The issue people have (and the issue his teams have) is he doesn’t leverage that. Astralis is the best example, but it isn't as if he didn’t have this problem in Complexity. It was just covered up because the issues in his IGLing were more glaring. I think we can all agree though that he does deserve to be on a team, no matter his flaws. Probably not a Tier 1 team (apart from G2), but definitely a Preasy or an OG. He needs to take the time to reinvent himself in these lesser pressure teams though so he can make a resurgence in Tier 1. Shame the only team he can even have a chance of being on is G2 because no one else would nor could buy him out before 2026. Not even Falcons since it doesn’t really make sense for their team to pick him up with the type of players they have.
@@Fleischgewordener_Sterbehelfer Absolutely not. ropz is a passive lurker, but he plays different positions and is still more active on lurks than blameF. He also isn't an ecofarmer. blameF has only ever had one mode: passive. It's almost like a "do nothing" phase except he is slowly lurking out, just one inch per second. He is also one of the worst savers in CS and certainly the worst rifler saver. His KAST% is massively boosted because he literally just gives up when he's in clutches or retakes. ropz goes for good looks whereas blameF will play it safe 100% of the time. See, if you only look at stats and don't watch the games, ropz and blameF do look nearly identical. Heck, blameF looks better even since his stats are so inflated. But watch the games and it becomes clear why ropz has the stats he does and why blameF has the stats _he_ does and how one contributes to winning and the other doesn't. You also have to think about the teams they're on. FaZe has rain and karrigan, two hyper-aggressive players plus Twistzz who can also take initiative. Astralis had gla1ve and then replaced him with b0RUP, that's it. ropz plays the way he does because his team needs him to since they're already quite aggressive. blameF plays the way he does in spite of what his team needs him to do since they're already quite passive.
