Hard work and dedication always pays off boys, you just need to be ambitious enough to seize the moment!

[José Morgado @josemorgado]

Wow. Wow. Wow.

39yo Novak Djokovic defeats Felix Auger-Aliassiem 7-6(10), 3-6, 6-3, 6-7(4), 7-6(10-4) to reach the #Wimbledon semifinals for an incredible 15th time.

5h15

There will NEVER exist another Novak Djokovic.

Insane stuff.

[Janko Paunovic @YNk]

That’s a steal for Heroic but I’m surprised to see there wasn’t a bigger market for Brollan, think he still has a lot to give outside of the IGL role

[HLTV.org @HLTVorg]

HEROIC complete roster with Brollan https://t.co/voYJGQGWpg

[Janko Paunovic @YNk]

@ds69938688 Where did he say this?

[Janko Paunovic @YNk]

Sounds a bit far fetched, sh1ro is a big voice for Spirit and his style suits them

But who knows what happens by the end of the year if molodoy can keep improving

[Polymarket Counter-Strike @PolymarketCS2]

Rumor: Team Spirit are interested in signing 🇰🇿molodoy if he becomes available after FalleN retires, according to @PBraunerGG. 🤯

Despite the rumor, Polymarket gives Spirit only a 13% chance of making roster changes before September. 📉

[Janko Paunovic @YNk]

I hate the word deserve when it comes to competition. But I do believe NiKo will earn his Major one day. And all the losses will only make victory taste that much sweeter.

[Janko Paunovic @YNk]

On one hand, his experience would be a good addition to FUT and his floor is higher than cmtry's

On the other, is he really a good fit for their aggressive, slightly wild playstyle? I'm not so sure

[Polymarket Counter-Strike @PolymarketCS2]

OverDrive: “SunPayus wants to go to FUT, but they don’t have money for him. He doesn’t want to go to HEROIC.” 👀

Polymarket currently gives FUT a 96% chance of making a roster change before September. 📈

[Janko Paunovic @YNk]

@Maj3r_ You can be proud of what you achieved, best of luck with whatever comes next!

[Janko Paunovic @YNk]

Maj3r really helped put Turkish CS on the map, truly an end of an era, always a great guy to talk to at events too

It makes sense for Aurora to start fresh with a new IGL+coach duo if they're going international already

[Polymarket Counter-Strike @PolymarketCS2]

End of an era 💔

Maj3r steps down from Aurora's IGL role to spend more time with his family; he will stay in the organization in a new role.

Polymarket currently gives Aurora a 93% chance of making roster changes before September.

[Luís Mira @luismmira]

Working on an article about the impact of the new Major sticker system on the economy of CS esports.

My DMs are open. Anonymity is offered.

[Janko Paunovic @YNk]

Neo probably isn't rated as high as a coach because he had karrigan as his IGL

He's a super smart guy and I think a team with fewer egos will fit him better, Astralis might be onto something here

[Polymarket Counter-Strike @PolymarketCS2]

🇵🇱 Neo is set to become the new head coach of Astralis, according to HLTV.

Polymarket currently gives them a 74% chance of making a roster change before September. 📈

[Janko Paunovic @YNk]

Jimmy did struggle on MOUZ but I think the Spinx addition made it harder for him to find impact

He had a great rookie year in 2024, this could be another good move for Aurora if he can find some of that form again

[Polymarket Counter-Strike @PolymarketCS2]

Aurora reportedly targeting 🇫🇮 jimpphat as their top priority this offseason.

After parting ways with coach Fabre, the organization is expected to go international and make multiple roster changes.

Traders now give them a 93% chance of making a roster change before September.

[Brokas @ItsBrokas]

Falcons truly had the MOST DIFFICULT playoff run to win the major (based on avg. HLTV rank of opponent right before major start).

Falcons Cologne: 3.00 (Vitality #1, Spirit #3, Furia #5)
Cloud9 Boston: 3.33 (G2 #7, SK #1, FAZE #2)
Astralis London : 3.67 (FAZE #6, Liquid #3, NAVI #2)

Then there is Vitality in Paris: 27.33 (Into the Breach #27, Apeks #24, Gamer Legion #31)

[Janko Paunovic @YNk]

You’d think NaVi was set after Atlanta but a disappointing Major can change a lot…

Does jL make a return?

[Polymarket Counter-Strike @PolymarketCS2]

Richard Lewis: b1t wanted to join Falcons to play with m0NESY and feels wronged after NAVI blocked the move.

Traders predict there is a 78% chance NAVI makes a roster change before September.

[Janko Paunovic @YNk]

This G2 change is wild, r1nkle and SunPayus couldn't be more different as players, sAw will have his work cut out for him with r1nkle

Have a hard time seeing this one work out tbh

[Janko Paunovic @YNk]

Just because kyxsan wasn’t the right fit for Falcons doesn’t mean he’s a bad IGL, this would be a great pickup for Aurora

[Polymarket Counter-Strike @PolymarketCS2]

According to KRL, Aurora are closing in on Kyxsan.

Traders on Polymarket now believe they have a 52% chance of making a roster change before July.

W or L move?

[Janko Paunovic @YNk]

Looking like Valve will change a map every season, so don’t see it happening before next year

[Is Cobblestone Out? @CobbleisOut]

Cache is joining the map pool in July, when is Cobblestone coming next? 🏰

[Janko Paunovic @YNk]

Falcons win the Major and then their permaban gets removed 😂

Good news for them and NaVi, Spirit to an extent as well but Vitality, FURIA and G2 will not be fans of this change

[CS2 @CounterStrike]

Season Four of Premier ends on July 6th.

You must have 25 Season Four Premier wins and a visible CSR when the Season concludes to earn your Premier Season Four medal.

For the Season Five Active Duty map pool:

- Overpass
+ Cache

Champ has arrived 🏆♥️

[Anders @OnFireAnders]

Just a brief word on why I personally care about Niko winning a major.. Linked here is the original iNation lineup. For people who weren't around, you missed out on how actually good YNk was an AWPer. But you also missed out on a 16 year old called NiKolinho who was very obviously a once in a generation talent. I probably casted every single iNation game played in 2013 and most of them in 2014 and if you could find the VODs of this, you'd be hearing a lot of conversation about how much of a talent this guy was and what a bright future he has and all that. Following someone's career for this long and watching them not win the major that their skill level almost compells them to do, for me is a fairly emotional journey.

No doubt since then Niko has had his own challenges and has at times been his own worst enemy, but im here for that part of the story too. If they don't win today, I won't be sad because it'll be an unreal victory for another friend of mine in Fallen, but I will be waking up at night worried that Niko never does it. For me CS will always feel a bit wrong if he doesn't.

[Janko Paunovic @YNk]

@d1ckb0mb @teddcs_ Jace smo slavili nekad 😂

[Janko Paunovic @YNk]

The greatest run in Major history! Worth the wait
