best episode you guys have done.
Anyone watching this faze eternal fire game? You can see wicaidia definitely a better rifler than kscerato. Kassad was right as usual.
I cannot get enough of HTPM its the best format with the perfect guests. Really hope thorin could one day do something like it for league as well
I love the salt in this one 👌
amazing show, caught my self laughing multiple times
Gather round nephews, the banana cup is coming in full force
How did COL go straight to the Elimination stage when they didnt go 3-0 in the American RMR. Is it because they are ranked higher? Im so confused.
That G2 take, based off of the furia result, is bleeding out of both ends, thankfully. Hope it was too hot to come true
I almost never laugh when watching talkshow, this one gets at least two gets at least two genuine LOLs every time
G2 vs Furia didn’t age well
Bring out the bingocard
That Kscerato NOT in Kassad's Top 20 take is the biggest fiesta I've ever seen on this show 🔥 🥳 🎉
These are BANGERS every single time! People in the CS scene need to catch on and see where the real content is!
Kassads initial reaction to the Maui Furia IGL take was absolute comedy gold, Thorin was completely gone 😂 love it
One thing id like to add to the nivera in valorant thing is he was actually very good, especially at the beginning. Problem is that he was stuck in fucking prison rosters where scream had seemingly mind controlled everyone into giving him full power and letting him igl, they didnt even have a coach in one of those rosters. despite that nivera showed he was still a player who could do well
Thorin dropping more heat than Dipset in the 2000s
Fucking hell, that show is straight fire. Love it
Should be 45 secs for a pause, but each team should also get a pool of ‘coach rounds,’ maybe like 2 per game, or 2 minutes of coach talking during rounds. This would let skilled coaches be able to ‘call’ sometimes and make more impact, but not just call the game as was the issue before.
No idea what you’d get done in 30 seconds though, that’s barely a few sentences. Kassad is right, even 45 seems pretty small.
It’s a pipe dream due to the already insane cost of running a major, but a more competitive angle is the take elements of the old system and incorporate them in to the new one.
-24 Teams at the major
-Determined by a global qualifier LAN
-Regional Minors feed into said qualifier
-Previous major and minor attendees are automatically invited, the rest filled from open quals
-48 teams attend LAN qualifier (obviously never happening lol) with the same flawed slot system they have for the majors currently ie. more slots for the region only if said region happened to over perform in previous qualifier
-Top 24 from said qualifier attend major, which is seeded by performance at this LAN
-Alternatively bring back top 8 automatically qualifying for next Major (incentivising going further in the tourney for 2x sticker money) and make it a 32 team qualifier
This way regions that get stronger still have a chance to have more teams attend majors, but the seeding for the major itself isn’t impacted, and we never end up with the outrageous half Swiss bullshit that Americas had this RMR
It makes for better seeded majors, more competitive qualifiers, more international games, storyline potential, underdog potential, and a slightly more aligned incentive structure for the teams
Only problem is convincing a Valve to help fund it, a TO certainly doesn’t want to fund a 32 Team LAN weeks before hosting a bigger 24 team LAN with Playoffs in an arena.
Would love to see 100thieves or Sentinels enter the NA scene! Would be a huge boost to the region and get people playing again, it’s exactly the type of move that could help revitalize the region 🙏 (btw 100T & SEN are the only 2 NA VCT teams without CS teams, E.G. doesn’t count btw)
VCT NA orgs are:
G2 —> 🇪🇺CS team
Cloud9 —> 🇷🇺CS team
NRG —> 🇺🇸 CS team
EG ❌
SEN ❌
100Thieves ❌
59:30 Thanasis catching strays on a counterstrike podcast lmao
Kassad has completely lost his mind,that Fallen and Kscerato take are dumpster fire
As a BR fan… saying Fallen is the 3rd best IGL in CS2 is not a Hot Take… If this was CSGO i can understand the controversy.
best series alongside with counter points
listening to the last point after i picked g2 3:0 and furia 0.3 😀
Two 45s timeouts and allow coach to talk during freeze time
The best cs show by far
When he said Wicadia better than Kscerato i died
37:41 😂
One of the greatest closers in Thorin history right there.
on a positive note hunter is aware of his poor play. Well see tomorrow great content guys !
hahaha nice episode!
Ahahahah thorin getting fired up when Maui says furia doesn't have 2nd best igl of brazil. Shows how much he does not like fallen
kassad did not make it to the rmr btw
Kassad bringing the most insane wind-up merchant counter-hot-takes here 😂😂😂
Best min-max team is 9Z for Americas, less salary demand than NA or Brazil and they are consistent
I still think take an ex-CIS AWPer and Rifler + a Americas/Asia/Oceania and base yourself in MENA for a good chance to qualify in Asia or Americas.
How about if coaches could talk in freeze time of their team's losing rounds? Maybe only the first 10 seconds?
