Chad is completely right about the Astralis exit interview. I remember him doing interviews after his team got 16-0'd. Leaders don't get to dodge responsibility.
Glad that you can acknowledge the good/"real" things about Chad as well even though you recently criticized the Talking Counter guys about not being transparent about their ESL/Spotify deal. Criticism and praise are both important, glad you're staying real.
Did he really say this? Astralis was more than gracious to him. He underachieved the last three years but they just kept him and Xyp9x on the roster and they were getting big checks every month. No organisation is going to him that much grace in his career. I love him though, and I only wish the best for him. Still believe he has so much more in him
@@fredericooKyxsan said something like Gla1ve won't ever go back to Astralis in the last episode of HLTV confirmed and I think that's where he picked that statement from. This is Esports, even cadiaN said he can't say he won't ever go back to Heroic. You never know the future.
@@elizabethmurigi1131Xyp9x and gla1ve had contracts. You cant just kick them out without paying the big bucks. Sitting on bench is probably cheapest and you can still sell them.
gla1ve said he was angry at astralis at the beginning but said that it was understandable that they benched him. He said that anything could happen in the future though in the talking counter podcast
My point on Astralis, there high : can beat vitality & Spirit ,there low : can lose to any team .they just need to play without pressure , fix there error ,be confident & don't worry about all the hate that are waiting to make 100 hltv thread & hate personal DMs
this comment reminds me of the "just needs to work on aim, spray control, teamplay, comms, smokes and flashes" etc copypasta. it's not that simple dude. they're likely fucked
this might be the dumbest comment i've ever seen. They are all make plenty of money. making the major for those guys means more then just about any amount of money.
no disrespect to chad but Astralis with home major, top signing, hate from all(because of heroic statement ,not considering the other side) are high stakes than chad loosing in any match and going for the interview as a captain. that's barely any hate or pressure.
Makes 0 difference, you are the captain, you are the shield for the team. It says everything you need to know about BlameF as a leader, this team is destine to fail with him in charge
That's great, you've made a list of excuses. Precisely the problem. BlameF was the team general, and even more so since there was effectively no real coach. It doesn't matter the pressure or the stakes. When you accept a position as the IGL of the most accomplished team in CS history, it's kind of a given that pressure comes with it. He circumvented his responsibility and let it fall into the lap of one of their rookie players. Slice it and qualify it however you'd like. That's not leadership. Period.
As a Liquid fan it’s nice to hear someone “Ynk” not harp on Liquid just yet, like he said this isn’t a team that’s building off a core it’s a brand new team. It’s kinda funny how fast people forget all the growing pains teams like G2, Vitality, and even Faze had when they made complete reset roster moves. Why do we as a community have to be so negative all the time?
It's so cool to see the shape teams in the Asia RMR have taken over the last year, Mongolz and Lynn Vision both look to really have a chance in carrying the region further into more and more international events. It sucks that other teams that SHOULD have a chance like Greyhound and Tyloo struggle to find their consistency, but in spite of that I really look forward to seeing how much further Mongolz and LVG can push into tournaments.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHHA
gotta love that journalist memory THIS GUY REMEMBERS SPUNJ RENEGADES POSTMATCHINTERVIEW 2015 OF ALL THINGS
which will make Staehr's eventual kick all the more f'd up.

Hey, where can I send some artwork for the thumbnail!? Love the show I look forward to it a lot.
Feel free to drop it in discord, dm us on Twitter @talkingcounter, or email talkingcounterpodcast@gmail.com
We appreciate it thank you!
I didn't know that blame and device straight up refused the interview, the way they played and have conducted themselves shows a lack of a spine.
iirc gla1ve said he wouldnt rejoin Astralis due to how he was treated at the end of his tenure
Did he really say this? Astralis was more than gracious to him. He underachieved the last three years but they just kept him and Xyp9x on the roster and they were getting big checks every month.

Buying whole Ecstatic roster seems better than keeping Astralis's five
Astralis basicly has a quarter of the top20 players 2023. Even with bad leadership they shuld do way better

also dont think s1mple gonna perform that well in falcons
can’t believe sydney got canned, tragic scenes in aus
Ynk says "REZ BAD" , but you are not allowed to say why and in which context ? his replacement ?
Amazing analytical mind LOL .

That Astralis loss and their reaction was so odd that I'd go as far to say they might as well did a IBP move

this is true but blameF should still have done it. If you wanna lead lead, if not gtfo stop being a poosie(not you, him) and a waste of time.

Because people want to see people better and more successful than them fail.

WOOOOOOO
Astralis wanna be the villan so bad
Well, Ruggah coached North and they even won something, if i remember correctly
Dignitas and North when he had Konfig, Magisk, Cajunb, aizzy, and Rubinho. They won two tournaments and finished second or 3/4 in many tournaments.
