I have to say, this is one of the best counter strike related podcasts out there... Maniac and Thorin kind complete each other... Thank you very much senhores!

donk in live feels like early godlike get right , especially the m4 sprays which somehow feels like it fires faster in their hands for some strange reason.

When he is aggressing on T Side making some vertically forward push, like jumping out of the aps window on Mirage, he REALLY reminds me a lot of Young Lekr0 in Godsent , i have been waiting for a player like this for many years, i am glad to see him here.

Love this duo! nearly a 2hour episode too, looking forward to it!

Perfect timing as always. I believe the duo of Thorin and Maniac are capable of the deepest analysis in esports. 🙏

36:28 Flamez has a good final, little bit to early for Flamez, again mentions Flamez 1min later in Blast final. Flamez joined after major :)

I think he was sort of in a stream of consciousness trying to say that the supporting cast on vitality has been strong for a few tournaments, and maybe he just left out ‘and at Gamers 8’ or something. I was weirded out by that too, listened to it again and was not sure what he meant.

JKS is one of the best CT anchors. You can't compare him to Nexa. His peaks are also higher and he was very consistent. That won't change even if G2 win. That said, there's a world where G2 wins, and that is if Niko, mONESY, Hunter and Nexa all have a crazy event right from the Elimination stage. At least we could count on jks to show up and put up 1.20 ratings in those crucial games. Now Nexa has to step up

3:35 I am glad Thorin made that remark. Not enough people are talking about the seeding and putting legend-stage teams according to Valve rankings have tidied up the ramifications of the swiss RMRs. Sure, Furia complained about Complexity going to the legends stage when they went 3-0, but it all makes sense when looking at the recent track records. Compare it to the Blast Major where Faze was the lowest-seeded team of the entire tournament because they survived the RMRs in the last-chance qualifiers, instead of blazing through it. The butterfly effect from that seeding ruined all the match-ups in that major

@@Ansee7 I didn't say OG was in the finals. I just said he made a mistake because FlameZ hadn't signed with Vitality before the Paris Major. He came in during the player break to replace Dupreeh.

Stats can be deceiving; one must consider the impact relative to the resources (flash setups , trade potential , hero rifles , all the strong CT positions) invested in the player. For example Elige back in Col is the player with all the resources , so his stats are a bit inflated (also he does play a lot against lower NA/SA opposition) On the other hand someone like Magisk back in Vitality had low resource allocation in his favor but he had such high impact , I was really surprised he was only 17th in the world according to HLTV .

The mezzi issue is related to his inability to clutch rounds. Dupreeh and magisk were insane in that department, that is the main difference of this roster.

Why are we not talking about chopper and going deeper into spirits system? If it is chopper controlling the rotations and system then i think he should be in the discussion with these other top IGLs. Not to mention his fragging potential. I really dont think TS is just the donk show

bit off topic, but good lord the talent choices for the PGL major were awful... some good cohices for sure like Maniac, but no YNK? no freya/stunna and instead hiring Sjokz? just so dumb :/

I think the coolest scenario would be vitality vs spirit and faze vs G2 in the semis, and then G2 vs spirit in the finals with G2 winning. We get to see zywoo vs donk, and in the end G2 come out on top so Niko and m0nesy get their majors and spirit are kept hungry and push themselves to improve even more. I say this all as a COL fan knowing that they won't even make playoffs haha.

And if ZywOo doesn't get those kills, they lose the game as well. He gets plenty of meaningful kills in early round that create space for the team and put the CTs on edge, forcing them to dump utility. You don't have to be in the circle jerk of ZywOo fans to recognize that he's useful to the team. I do agree, however, Spinx isn't getting a whole lot of recognition for how well he's been playing and how impactful he's been recently.
