Flom stating something that is immediately contradicted by his own logic is the only downside to these highlight videos. Like in a 4 minute video, it’s actually impressive. Love the dude and happy he covers CS news, but fuck maybe like an extra minute to actual detail why Ropz > Vitality is a bigger/better move than Elige > Faze or the obvious Niko > Falcons (a multiple year top 5 player) would alleviate the feeling that it’s actual something that’s been thought about and not just some brainless internet “take” that is reminiscent of the braindead tweets we see.
What you mean? He explained it right after without contradictions (though a bit messy) Ropz is best move because of skill upgrade within Top20 and best fit Elige is good move cause he's on par (or he alluded to better than Ropz) skill wise but still large role issues in the team that weren't fixed Niko would be good move if Falcons wasn't clown car so likely not going to work as a team and Niko is just gonna be wasted there
@@Stumbler69513 what I am hoping for is more a twenty minute video, giving time to bring in more details. The 4 minute stream clip is fine, but it feels rushed. When fl0m is not eating, he has so much more to say. I value his opinion and analysis, and would love more of a focused video. Maybe that's content for the main channel, idk.
Ranking the roster moves so far (based on impact of the move) 1. NertZ -> Liquid He will be the best player on this team, and a top 10 player in 2025. 2. ELiGE -> FaZe He will be the spark that this team needs, that they lost when TwistZz left. 3. Ropz -> Vitality Still a great transfer, but just not as good as the 2 prior. Should slot in great and improve this team.
How can a barely top 20 player this year be considered a better roster pickup than a top 4 player and rifle goat? In just about every possible metric, Niko is objectively a better pickup for any team. There is no reason to disrespect Niko because you don't like Falcons. It is also an extremely biased opinion, based on the last year, that Ropz is an upgrade to Spinx. I don't know why it is seen as acceptable by some commentators to let complete fan bias override all objectivity about these players.
You’re so right, how is replacing Maden or Dupreeh with arguably the best rifler of all time not a better pickup? 😂 I’m all for hating falcons but what is he talking about?
You have a good point but consider these things too: in 2023 Niko was hltv #2 and ropz was #3. last year was a bit weird with CS2 getting up to speed as a game, and there's reason to think this particularly affected ropz's play. Niko's a legend, but it's not crazy to say that they are similar in skill. I think Niko will improve Falcons more than ropz will improve Vitality, but the quality and completeness of Vitality generally matters more than Falcons based on their placings in the scene.
@@noahbrackenbury There's nothing wrong with saying that Ropz is a great pickup for Vitality and that in general Vitality have the strongest looking team in the world. Ropz is a great player, and Zywoo, Flamez, and Mezii are already there with a proven igl in Apex. That's a great roster overall, but if you look at Niko and Ropz as a one-to-one comparison, then Niko is objectively the better pick up. If you put Niko into that Vitality team in place of Ropz, apart from Niko's famous bad luck at majors, you'd be suggestingn them as even bigger favourites in every big tournament in 2025, wouldn't you?
@@salvificblood ah yes that makes sense, the idea of Niko going to Vitality instead of ropz definitely makes it a theoretically bigger pickup. I think fl0m specifically meant amongst the moves that have actually happened, this is the most impactful (dismissing Niko -> Falcons as possibly unimportant to top level CS and more of a money move for Niko)
@@noahbrackenbury I do think it’s very tough to say how falcons will be though. This is a totally different team with fairly solid pieces from Heroic, and Niko has taken a much worse team (G2 with Amanek and Jackz) to a major final before. I do think Falcons basically bought their way up from a top 40 team to a solid top 10 team that could make some runs. I think people just view their off-season as a failure because they didn’t get Monesy and Jimmy, but you’re right that vitality should be one of the top 3 teams, but they were before as well.
Ropz, Zywoo, and Flamez on the same roster sounds amazing. Hopefully the hype will end up as good results.
ever since I liked and subscribed to this channel I have gone completely bald and yesterday I bench pressed 500 pounds, thank you fl0m
Would be cringiest roster reveal if not for Falcons NiKo video
is dat you in your pfp?
At least it has cs highlights
You are forgetting the MOUZ siuhy. That one was worse
Lmao what? This is the least cringiest I’ve seen so far. Did you see FaZe Elige announcement?
@@DonkCheatsthat was fun as hell though

Agreed. Would love a "flOm reacts and explains rostermania moves (you won't believe #5!)" over the first take reactions.

🍄🍄 cause this is a shiit take
one thing you're forgetting here is that ropz was FREE for Vitality.
I know you from NA, cos this is some hot copium
@ nah, it just changes that team the most
If vitality still doesn't win trophies we need to have a conversation about apex
+1 firepower
Not to shi on vita but they really pulled a "spinx was the problem" ahh move
vita cooking
Mezii and apEX huge firepower! The entire world scene is afraid of this power
😂
@@thehunter6563i can also cherry pick the weakest links in a team like you did there
