Mans got a family to support, sometime you gotta go for the money (If that's why he would move)

Yeah, that’s what I mean. It’s completely fine to take the money instead of the work that makes you happier, it is what it is. It’s what people with regular jobs is forced to do most of the times anyway. Or maybe is true and he just likes Cs a lot more, I was just saying that you shouldn’t assume things, you never really know…

NA CS isn’t really that dead. It’s in a rebuilding phase realistically. The casual scene is fine but competitively it’s just newer players getting the opportunity now that they wouldn’t have before.

NA CS created a bubble for itself before Valorant existed. Hopefully the same doesn’t happen in val.

Extra Salt is picking up a few wins against teams outside of NA and more NA teams like Party Astronauts and RBG are getting the chance to compete in Europe, this is only good for NA. I don't think it will ever be at its' peak again but it's slowly but surely healing

Well the problems with NA CS is that players in the scene were always the worst problem. They cared more about egos and reputation more than winning and orgs left when time after time players failed to show results. Imagine how different the NA cs scene would be if it were different. That’s the problem I could see happening in NA VAL. You can already see it with some players. It is a rebuilding phase for NA so we will see how it goes.

When do you think the peak of NA was?

Considering Nitro is switching to csgo there can be only 2 things, that could be the best NA cs team in a long time(highly unlikely) or they will disband and Nitro will be left at a place too hard to recover from. I can't think of a way anything happening in between but maybe my cs knowledge is outdated

I doubt teams would pick nitr0 up, he hasn't played CS professionally in a year plus he was trending downhill when he switched.

Team Liquid is rebuilding. Stewie and Fallen are leaving.

Nitro's career was already rolling down hill. If somehow he is given a shot at igling it would make matters even worse due to his outdated knowledge of current meta and poor performance. A recipe for perfect disaster

Nitro will even be outdated due to evolving meta. It will be great if somehow 100T sign kennys(near to impossible).

Wait, what is this roster, this is so random LOL:

Jonathan "⁠EliGE⁠" Jablonowski
Nick "⁠nitr0⁠" Cannella
Richard "⁠shox⁠" Papillon
Vinicius "⁠VINI⁠" Figueiredo

It will be tough to establish a synergy between the players. Also does Shox and Vini speak English? Comms will be a big problem in this team.

I don't know about Shox, but Vini does since he lives in NA. But will Liquid give them time to play together tho? I can't see this roster being better than the old one for a while.

Vini kinda makes sense because TL doesn't have a good support player. Shox not so much.

Vini wasn't performing that well. Also the synergy game would be worse and his macro play was average at best

FalleN most likely to some BR team or he's gonna remain teamless for some time
NAF and Stew most likely not switching to Valorant, the report is they will go to EG who are rebuilding their roster
