AleksiB is tactical genius. He is most know of his signature tactic "going B, but then farm G2." He also has second little known tactic of "throw every single Ancient games, but win them all in major playoff." What a absolute legend. Top 3 IGL 4 sure.

One thing that was not mentioned, but it is worth it. B1ade's impact seems to be huge. He faced huge challenges: - War in Ukraine and you need to remove the russian players - S1mple's burnout - Switch the language. He managed all of this. He proved that hard work pays of, there are no non-replaceable players, The team is not about gifted players, and he can build a top-level team with the resources that he has. For me, it proves that B1ade is one of the greatest coaches of all time in CS history!!! Anyway, Thanks for the review.

People keep misunderstanding the greatness in Aleksib. Time and time again he has taken the job of elevating lower tier players and making it work and raising the expectations of those squads massively. Then gets tossed and the squads just fall off. He knows how to get the teamwork to make the dream work and people dont see that for some reason even after all these years.

I bet he genuinely thinks these IGLs are good but just not compatible with his play style. what he will never admit (looking at how he's ruining G2 now) is that his preferred play style isn't compatible with winning. Any time he won something it was when he trusted an IGL for a while and bought into a real tactical system. when his teams start to play fast and loose gut-based CS it only looks good in the group stage, at best. and it's just so fragile, it has no floor. if a few things go wrong there is no procedure to fall back on so teams like this just implode in their bad matches.

As a Navi's biggest fan this was The Best Major for me

I feel like the edge is so small between all of these top teams that it really comes down to just whoever is heating up that day. MR12 ensures anything can happen and all five of Navi was just hitting on all cylinders in the GF

Such a great run from Na'Vi. If I wasn't a fan before, I am now. I love that core, I love jL and iM, they are SO legit. This core is fun, youthful, and damn good too. Let's go Na'Vi!

I freakin' love when Dimitri shows up on camera.

Navi deserved the major. As hard as it is to say as a Faze fan, they did. So happy for Aleksi, w0nderful and jL, each for their own respective reasons. Not to undermine the rest of the team either. A well deserved victory

aleksiB once again with his tactical expertise 🔥

I cant be happier i knew they have huge potential so glad

Andrey B1ad3 is Erik Spoelstra (the Miami Heat coach) in the CS World. People might not expect from him anything but somehow he delievers big time

Lets go, dimitri my man!

I expect an apology from theScoreEsports for sh*tting down on AleksiB for the last 2-3 years .

It would be cool to add trophies each season for certain things. Like, keep the major trophy (obviously)… but with the Major being at the end of the season and being the biggest event of the season; what if they did what the NHL do like the lady bing, calder, art ross, vezina, etc. or even just have a skills competition after the major right before the player break for bragging rights.

4:50 wish you had shown JLs deagle ace here. Navi was down early, completely changed the vibe of map 3 and was imo his biggest moment as the mvp of the tournament

Congratulations!

I saw in comments that this was the first major champion for a finnish and a lithuanian. Congrats, and let’s wish that there will be more! With love from Ukraine and good luck for NaVi 🇺🇦🤝🇱🇹🤝🇫🇮🤝🇷🇴

It’s really worth to mention Blade here. Absolutely GOAT among the coaches

Faze vs Spirit what a series the best that Counter Strike can ever be.
