The most challenging video that I've ever had to record
It's addresed to every single member of the @CounterStrike community:
- Fans
- Players
- Teams
- Collegues
- Tournament organisers
and others
This is a TLDR clip and the full version is on youtube

@tuaacs@MarsborneGaming Cxzi as IGL developed nicely, and while I'm unsure as to how freshie will do in his stead I do think the rest of the lineup is an upgrade in ambition. Wumbo and ogwizard are the future for NA and Grizz is still a monster. Exciting times at least
@Sh1nCS@CSGORoll@FaZeEsports a lot of firepower in exchange for killing the team, would rather get kl1m, gr1ks or even podi ngl
Senzu 100% would be awesome on faze though. Fuck it get kyxsan in there for karrigan too, you have time enough to start aggressively changing the VRS core so get started.
@BBloodybelgian@KenAijmNight I find that a high-level professional scene comes as a result of a thriving lower-tier one. You cannot necessarily plan for it, but if you create enough room for casual enjoyers to thrive, the system will syphen to the top naturally. It can't be forced, but it does grow with time
@KenAijmNight You literally compound social interest over time. Communities start somewhere, and if there is room to grow it will happen gradually. Once there is a stable base, then investment can help push it further beyond.
It takes proper coordination and dedication to long-term success.
@KenAijmNight Precisely, continuity should be the goal to achieve lasting success. There is a lot of potential, but it needs to be built up slowly over time and have a platform to stand on. Additionally, a central platform can also centralize investment incentives, shows where eyeballs are.
If @AuroraCS2_GG want to take their CS division seriously, they have to go international and there is no better place to start than with @ashhhcs
Every other top org has a premier coach, and Aurora look thoughtless in every game. Get Gizmy, Tauson and Ashhh, and you are back in.
@bjornt1_@readtldr Hmm I feel like cromen doesn't count because he was never touted as a top talent to begin with. Going back to D0cC, he was on prospect predictions and was offered trials by top teams. He could have gotten there but never did. Cromen never got those chances tbh.
@bjornt1_@readtldr Definitely worth a mention, while on the CR4ZY train you could add SHiPZ and SENSEi to that list as well. But the latter of course created their own demise.
Which reminds me, two additional top contenders for this category are Gokushima and deko. Both could have been great.
@kafingterard @lotusphxd @readtldr He is/was one of the most mechanically gifted players in his time, but he was toxic in-game and didn't have a winning mentality ('didn't care' about success because of his affluent background). He left for the army and hasn't found the same level of talent since. Hope he does.
@teddcs_ One cannot argue the likes of broky, hallzerk, ultimate, and sunpayus deserve to keep underperforming because of a weak environment when upcoming stars actively show the opposite. They sit in fear worrying the next pickup can't adapt the same way their current pieces don't.
@teddcs_ To touch on JBOEN, there is a good number of AWPers that could outperform a lot of the stable base we find in T1/T2. I find orgs are lackadaisacal towards AWPers hiding behind their "AWPing in CS2 is weak", staying complacent while Jorko, kashl1d, JBOEN, mhL and gr1ks shine in T2
