ay let's keep w0nderful even though he is a certified choke artist, but we won't sign monesy who would give us a vitality contending roster, naaaah, let's keep xqc

sh1ro won't come and there is no need for him. monesy has an expiring contract, was brought up in their youth system and is not pro-war and is currently signed for g2. but navi won't sign him cuz ''we don't want to deal business with russians''

the entire org runs on their cs team who just happen to have the greatest coach in all of counter strike.

that's just a mechanic though. both players neeed to run in the same direction and it also requires you to strafe correctly not to fuck up the movement. If he fails it he blocks both of them and loses his team the timing which is essential if you want to get an early advantage.

I just don't understand their direction:

• ''we don't want to deal business with russians, which is why we won't sell our cs players to russian orgs and won't sign any russians
• ''proceeds to buy shao and suygetsu''
• ''keep shao for like 2 years now
• refuses to buy monesy EVEN THOUGH HE IS THE PERFECT FIT FOR THEIR CS ROSTER
  Wtf is this org

perhaps one slot for every region winner and no ascension tournament for the region?

pack up the bag, kick everyone and hand over the slot to team spirit/mouz. crazy how they had the money to buy an fpx four but then couldn't do anything with it

time to go back to cs unc

yes and that makes egg first, chicken second

See metas and comps as technical regulations in something like Formula One. If Ferrari brings something massively overpowered which is within regulations, most teams will follow them. why not create something of your own? cuz it takes more time to find either for the same outcome or for something less impactful

no they haven't, which is why they think of it as a high school sport drama where the characters suck, suffer thru training and then win.

chronicle instead of nats = most trophies won

they were the first org to condemn the war and moved their HQ to Belgrade along with their staff. Also allowed for their Ukrainian players in dota, yatoro and mira to be openly against the war and host charities for Ukraine. They are clear

spirit are serbian

navi has so business staying at franchising, spirit is a way better candidate

cuz cs casters just love to talk shit, especially if it was pro league or something. Like they are drinking beer during pro league games, theye are almost unfiltered

david luiz at arsenal man, why did you make me cry

vitality and gentle mates to toronto it is then

imagine an Omen TP but you don't know where you end up, the ultimate gambling device

Omen TP but random should be the ult. Either you TP one meter away from where you were, TP into enemy's backline or simply TP on the Operator's crosshair. GAMBA

ange1 can call up his buddy s1mple to carry him, just like s1mple did for him in cs, I feel like s1mple while high and drunk still outaims 2ge

there are plenty of other esport players from Ukraine who help by donating their money to the great deeds, like helping the refugees, donating to restore the destroyed towns and buildings and help fund the volunteers :) I don't wanna say that ange1 didn't do it, but I don't see any posts yet

yeah, round-robin done incorrectly :D

WHAT a performance from ange1, 30 reposts, 12 political posts liked after his team lost yet another round, 5 posts arguing with JL, 4 beggings for navi ceo not to end the franchising contract, 2 snus packs consumed and to top it all of 1 ''We still looking for ourselfs on stage, bad game from us.'' after getting shit on, truly GOAT status

it's fucking tier 2 :D

bro was too busy arguing about:
-the return of ex-cs pros to cs from val with jL https://x.com/OfficialANGE1/status/1873857064319308286

-arguing with derke's take on util/aim https://x.com/OfficialANGE1/status/1896726566576550112
-advertizing nataNk(also didn't navi screw him beecause they first tested him and then just let him go?) https://x.com/nataNk1wnl/status/1900109589036544234
Bro just grind the game you are paid for lil bro, doesn't seem like you are trying grandpa. So sad to see navi's money go into this paycheck stealer when they can just afford to +monesy to make their cs team unbeatable

wasn't it that the lower placing team still goes to ascension? But given that they qualified to champs it is likely that the level between them and the ascenscion candidates is really big

first ever tie in the history of franchising

TS was founded by fucking scam afaik, so not surprised

I have to admit that I disliked him in 2020, but now I know I was dumb. Like jamppi got broken down mentally because some fucking CIS youtuber thought it was funny to make thousands of kids/teenages send jammpi toxic messages

bro I am so happy to see jamppi get the respect he deserves after the bullshit he faced in cs

ever wondered why stuff like march madness bracket or world cup predictors end up never having the perfect prediction

ban navi so that they can spend more money to make their cs roster better, thank you!

I would rank s1mple over zywoo cuz s1mple achieved more with less. Like there is no way a team with zeus flamie and edward was supposed to be at the major final or semi final, or liquid with jdm and hiko and nitro

I don't care about the scenes here, and i would argue that fallen is a figure of SA CS, not coldzera. I rate them based on what they achieved and had during their careers. If donk suffers a decline just like cold then he will drop for sure. If we rank cold all time after his 2nd top 1, definitely top 4, right now, top 10

just needs a clear major win over the favourites and not tier 3 teams and I will rank him higher than s1mple, might even do with another cologne win

I feel like we are way too early into cs2 to have this conversation at all :D

way too short of a prime, 2 years and then he disappeared. Like relevancy bias for me plays a role as well, I rank donk being a solo carry in this competitive scene way more than cold's reign, like he fallen and fer were top 1, 4 and 6 in one year I think

stewie is an HM for sure, I would put him behind cold/fallen/kenny, like A tier player. IMO what stopped him from top 10 is his rapid decline since 2019. So in 2017 he was just a great player on a mid team, in 2018 he won the major then went to mibr for some reason, then he was vital for liquid to have that mini era but they choked, and then he just disappeared.
Twistzz is a weird one cuz he was always the 2nd/3rd best player on faze and liquid, never the main star, and his current liquid stint is just a disaster. great player, crucial to both teams, but for me he has to prove himself on liquid, again. If the rumours are true and they are getting siuhy, I would love to see him shine again.

I would say one more year of dominance from donk and he jumps forest to be like right behind niko and dupreeh. He is solo player, no team around him like astralis were a packed unit of 5 top 20 players. monesy is a strange case, he has been top 7 since his tier 1 debut but he is yet to prove himself without niko. Right now he is struggling with consistency cuz g2 are shit. I feel like his bet to be climbing the ladder is to go to navi. Main star with 4 support cast players.

cs2 is way too early imo, donk is great but spirit might let him down by being shit

I would say s1mple cuz I am biased, but give a few years to zywoo and a few major wins and he is the goat. Dupreeh and device are disqualified from the debate cuz they never got top 1 at hltv, can't be a goat if you haven't been the greatest in one year.
I would put:

1. S1mple
2. zywoo
   GAP.
   device
   . niko
   olof
   dupreeh
   magisk
   forest
   get_right
   coldzera/fallen/kenny

sh1ro is good enough to outclass w0nderfuls or torzsis, but he just can't put up an equal fight to monesy or zywoo. magixx either is a third coming of xyp9x (after perfecto) or just shit. honestly if i were spirit management i would try to get perfecto and kyou in, give kyou zont1x's spot, perfecto fills perfectly into magixx. More experience in perfecto, more raw power in kyousuke, 2 play makers (donk and kyou) and 2 round finishers (perf and sh1ro), basically turns into a navi 2021 archetype with an agressive rifler in elec/donk, a hs machine in b1t/kyou a clutch minister in perfecto and a flex awp in sh1ro/s1mple

vitality too good I am afraid, they outclass them in all positions but entry (and even still flamez is just elite in his role)
zywoo >> sh1ro
ropz >>>>> zont1x
mezzi >>>>> magixx
apex>>>>> chopper
donk >> flamez

probably not, donk kinda skipped the staying in academy stint and just went into spirit during the time which russian cs was very shit (c9 super team failed, VP were a meme, Spirit just got 0-3'd at RMR, best russian team at the Paris Major was fucking forze). He basically was the messiah in a region full of despair, so not comparible

I mean I like his personality, he seems like a chill guy, a bit egoistic (which is good), as he doesn't really want to share one team with donk, he would prefer to leave for another team

a lot of them afaik.

max 6k? when you host only 3 events in a year? wtf

do you even realize how weird it sounds?
active on oxygen comms
goes to nrg
apparently suddenly goes full dead inside
gets kicked for being mute
goes to a Portuguese speaking team like month after getting dropped
learns the basics of a new language
active communicator
something doesn't add up

my val understanding is very basic, but just trexx+nats igl + 3 russian elite players and we are talking about master/champs contender
