@skeatboart @HLTVorg Team managers and other support staff often run onto the stage when their team wins. It's not quite the same as being the coach standing behind the players - even if their roles are all important.

S0tF1k will be the one getting all the glory when Spirit win.

@RandomAtom3 @fandompulse 15 seasons.

I don't consider Stargate Universe to be a success.

@MaxLonged It's a moot point.

Within the next five years, you'll be able to tell AI to generate any card you want in pristine condition.

[Lu @lu_cs2]

@tkd_mst @mmaonpoint He was never going to make the White House card. It would be unreasonable to expect him to given the severity of the injury.

He'll probably be ready to fight before the winner of Pereira vs Gane is ready.

@debornair99 @The_Forty_Four Owen is such a “what if”

If he didn’t have the injury problems and didn’t go to Madrid, he could’ve been the greatest of his generation.

[Lu @lu_cs2]

@dachshundwizard I'm scared of what will be possible with AI in the near future. There's no reason to believe it won't be able to make flawless copies that will fool even the best graders.

In theory it should even be able to duplicate PSA slabs, so old grades won't be safe.

@olafkswg @CounterStrike I've been complaining about this forever.

Fade skins looked amazing in CSGO.

@Roknarr @KEMZ_w Memory bias is a thing.

You remember the insane shots that land, but forget all the ones that miss.

[Lu @lu_cs2]

@PeanutsHS @gavinfreeman724 @Roknarr This, and noscopes with the Scout are 100% accurate, unlike the AWP.

If you want to have some fun, stick a little dot on your screen where the crosshair would normally be...

@Lamar5k @Ozzny_CS2 2021 was still COVID CS. Very few LANs, and teams using coaches as IGLs.

2022 was FaZe's year - a team that was notorious for relying on skill.

I think the level of teamplay and tactics is higher now. Changes like blowing open smokes added nuance. Most orgs even have analysts.

@micFreeman237 @TouchlineX His short prime is why he’s not compared to Messi and Ronaldo.

He’s greater than Neymar.

@zipelCS It’s crazy how much better they looked in CSGO.

The mid part being darker completely changes the appearance of the gloves.

[Lu @lu_cs2]

@gabefollower I’m glad they’re making things more consumer friendly.

Can’t have people popping open capsules like they’re Pokemon booster packs. Nope. This is much better…

Last spotted somewhere in Yosemite National Park

@TheWarOwl It’s been a decade since that s1mple noscope on Cache, and there are still thousands of fans out there who still don’t understand the insane luck involved.

In their minds, that 2nd shot landed because of skill.

[Lu @lu_cs2]

@BlkkCS They're clearly trying to change the holo effects each time, as well as the background...

But there's a limit to what you can do with team logos before they become unrecognisable.

A NAVI sticker is still a NAVI sticker no matter what they do - and we have too many already.
