I was denying that Zywoo had better debut at his first year of Proscene? or said that monesy is doing better than Zywoo in his prime? If you are defending Zywoo each time when there's a monesy in conversation, then that means that you either salty or actually feel that my words have some truth in them so you decide just be a hater. Gtfo. EDIT: Also I've just checked that Zywoo already had some experience before entering Vitality. He was playing tier-3 for 3 years before entering T1, meanwhile monesy started his way only in the mid of 2020. So monesy is still younger at every single thing. GTFO x2.

In CSGO, you cant say that you hate or love a specific team. It's a beauty of watching teams raising up and preparing for more. For now, ENCE is so intriguing to watch, it gonna be a great Grand Final between two team. I do not know what skill SunPayus has. He is the most satisfied awper to watch right now. The miracle of CSGO is that, even you have knowledge for a decade, you still see a new play style raising and wiping out all other current Stars of CSGO.
