    The way that's been framed, I hope everyone understands that it's not his sister who cause this, but his decision to attend her wedding. Because it's still a decision he can make. UNLESS he already knew about this, which would make it an easy choice to attend it if he's already out.

    ​@@juanframetallica82You can't get much worse calling than HooXi. He's got good strats, but I'd rather ask the 8-ball sticker than go to HooXi for what to do in a midround. The first 10 seconds of a round decide it for G2 as a team, unless m0NESY/NiKo put up a multikill. Absolutely clueless at developing a round, reading opposing teams, or calling around his players. G2's No. 1 issue since Day 1 has been the teamwork and at least half of that is due to the piss poor calling. With HooXi at the helm, G2 have never looked like they had any idea what any of their players are doing at any point in time. Move him to coach where he belongs. Also, Snax didn't have much time with the new GL roster. The old roster was doing nothing. I've seen people criticize GL's T-side, but that's ignoring that their Top 3 maps are Overpass, Nuke, and Ancient. That's the Top 3 most CT-sided maps in the pool right now. Not everyone can be peak Astralis where you just have an unbeatable T-side Nuke, a map where the only control T-side has is Lobby.

    As a regular viewer of the show, I am disappointed with Nart's appearance as a guest in this episode. He wasn't very communicative and didn't willingly involve himself in the conversation. Additionally, he didn't thoroughly elaborate on his points, which often led to awkward silence as Thorin and Maui expected him to say more.

I really, really doubt that he watches Nart's Pick Em videos or patch reactions, and the only podcast I can think of of Nart's Thorin might have seen is that one on women in esports he's referenced a couple of times on BTN/other shows in a comedic sense because it had like 15 women and then Anders on the panel for some reason.

    Aren’t the majors going forward going to be the last tournament before the player break (tournament break). Pretty sure that’s been known for a while now. This should’ve been an ugly point since the schedule got scuffed due to the release timing of CS2. Therefore we didn’t get a fall/winter major in 2023 and we got an early Major for 2024. But that all gets straightened out by Shanghai. And by 2025 things should be smooth.
