[Last Free Nation @LastFreeNation]

Snake and Banter with @Mauisnake, @Thorin, and guest @TechGirlZA is streaming everywhere now!

Sex ended the Vitality Era.

@Fleahayden This team might win. And then if they do a few more times we can discuss favourites

[Sam “Tech Girl” Wright @TechGirlZA]

So we like MOUZ now right?

[Sam “Tech Girl” Wright @TechGirlZA]

Annnnnd he’s back for the babies. 👶 Remember when jL said he’s signed with an org? I feel like that was a bit of a bamboozle 😂

[Polymarket Counter-Strike @PolymarketCS2]

jL stepping in for mezii at BLAST Open Porto, then for apEX at PGL Masters Bucharest. Both away for the birth of their children.

Polymarket traders predict a 24% chance Team Vitality make a roster change before September 👀

[Sam “Tech Girl” Wright @TechGirlZA]

Agreed

[HLTV Confirmed @HLTVconfirmed]

"As much as it's BLAST Bounty - studio with a bit of a crowd, it's still a LAN game, against one of the best teams in the world, it's against donk. It's really impressive to see [Spinx] do this." 💪

@Professeur_CS on Spinx's MVP worthy finals' performance

[StarLadder CS2 @StarLadder_CS]

👀 And here are all the participants of the StarSeries Season 20 Main Event!!

🔥 Those were exciting closed qualifiers, and the teams have shown they’re ready to keep fighting! Who do you think will be crowned champion?

[Sam “Tech Girl” Wright @TechGirlZA]

@jingerboogie But me, I was the problem 😂😂

[Sam “Tech Girl” Wright @TechGirlZA]

When an esports entity announces how they are going to revolutionise South African esports, folks are quick to follow them blindly.

In the past, I’d call them out & say hey not sure that is feasible or maybe sounds too good to be true. Folks at those entities would bad mouth me as their defence saying I was butt hurt they weren’t paying me or, my fav, I was “washed up”, irrelevant & not being hired in esports any more. It happened a lot over the years . Some examples:

Kwese
“ESL Africa” (spoiler, this was never ESL themselves, who have hired me numerous times. Kwese just purchased the naming rights from them)
Nodwin Gaming “South Africa”
ATK

Tell me ZA Esports… where are they now? 😂

[Sam “Tech Girl” Wright @TechGirlZA]

@Triton_csgo Yup. But they were all going to take over. They were loud about that.

[Sam “Tech Girl” Wright @TechGirlZA]

Gone. Or at least the original owners sold. That set up was always questionable, allegedly financing DNMK while also having ATK, then the constant stories about JHB branches, teams reportedly struggling to get shirts (or paid) while playing in EU … but any time I said anything: “hater”

[Sam “Tech Girl” Wright @TechGirlZA]

@NaoriMizuki Noooo wait, who did I forget?

[Sam “Tech Girl” Wright @TechGirlZA]

Heading into BLAST playoffs: it’s Spirit’s trophy to lose, especially if you look at how the other lineups are still getting a feel for new players. But a South African led Liquid deep run will be dope (can’t believe we’re in this timeline).

[Polymarket Counter-Strike @PolymarketCS2]

Falcons, Vitality, and FURIA are all already out. ❌

Spirit are the only top 5 team left in BLAST Bounty S2. 🐉

Polymarket traders predict Spirit will win at 52%. 📈

Can anyone stop their guaranteed win? 🏆

[Sam “Tech Girl” Wright @TechGirlZA]

Being at home for longer than 4 weeks has resulted in me spending way too much time with my dogs. And now I get actual anxiety at the the thought of not being with them at any moment during the day.

So that's new and a bit weird.

[Sam “Tech Girl” Wright @TechGirlZA]

@Rb__sa I’ve tried that. They can’t tell me if YOUR branch is closing

[Graham Pitt @messioso]

We just took down the world champions and all they can say is Falcons didn't show up.

We podcasted our way to the top by BUILDING a studio to enable us to create even more podcasts and the whole scene memed on it. Step out of the echo chamber and pay attention @100T_CS @Roobet

[Sam “Tech Girl” Wright @TechGirlZA]

@Rb__sa @Travesty_Kruger I made a booking for 8 August but have now seen community discourse that Merchant Place is closing 1 August for rennovations? What happens to my booking?

[Sam “Tech Girl” Wright @TechGirlZA]

One online game, at the start of the season, in a tournament most teams don't take too seriously... and we've written off the Major winners and have elevated 100T to top 4 contention? CS fans are wild.

[Polymarket Counter-Strike @PolymarketCS2]

After beating the Cologne Major champions, 100 Thieves are the 4th favorite to win BLAST Bounty S2. 🤯

Polymarket traders give them a 5% chance. 🏆
