nothing best

I wanted to thank HLTV for posting this up and spreading the word. It means a lot to me for my hard work to finally reach a bigger audience. Also I would appreciate feedback and suggestions for future episodes. Let me know what you like, what you dislike, what you would like added or changed, etc. This show is mostly for the NA scene I guess, but it is really meant to be a contribution for the whole CS:GO community. With that said, this is for you folks and it is still a very young project. I hope that you enjoy it and my other commentary and streaming work. But know that I am also open to feedback! Also if you screen is stuck on a black video or the audio cuts in and out, cycle through the quality options and it'll fix it. Not sure what happened in the processing stage when I uploaded it from Twitch.

Well done mate, its really interesting to have more insight on the NA scene because its so different from the European scene. Can you do one with DaZeD as well, he is a very intelligent player i would like to know what he thinks about the same topics that you asked n0thing.

2014-02-07 19:22

I have been thinking of that, not sure if he will go for it but I will see.

2014-02-07 19:40

Great interview. Really in depth stuff. Maybe try player from Europe in future?

Would certainly consider though right now it is a primarily NA based show.

2014-02-08 00:52

Yea that would be amazing

2014-02-08 14:49

Dude, would u be willing to cast my 10 man battle royale event this Sunday? :3

2014-02-07 20:21

nice

Interviews with players in nothings level are always great. but i'd rather if you picked your topics carefully like thoorin for example. example: first 9 minutes he didn't seem to care/know about anything that is related to europe.

2014-02-07 20:50

I mostly just wanted to report the news, I didn't figure he'd comment much on that part. But i honestly though he responded well anyway.

Hey, great to see a new podcast (new to me, at least). Great to see people furthering the community and informing the audience, especially cool in this interview setting. However, if I have one criticism, it is to make sure you're a little bit better informed about the topics you're going to discuss. Really make sure you've refreshed your memory, and even have a few pieces of paper or tabs open or something with the information you need. A clear example of that is not knowing what's happening with LDLC and CM. Make sure to read several sources, really internalize what is happening, and then have the information handy so it doesn't look like you don't know what you're talking about. Other than that, best of luck with the next ones, really enjoyed it!

2014-02-07 23:29

Thanks man. I really had done my research on LDLC but just the name slipped me... Was rather unfortunate. But ill def make sure to have it right in front of me next time, thanks for the feedback.

2014-02-08 00:54

Great work as usual Dust keep it up man and the NA seen is sure to grow!

2014-02-07 23:40

Thanks man!

great work dude. pls do more episodes with players from other teams not just iBP and coL freakazoid or moe would be nice

2014-02-08 01:30

Working on it.

2014-02-08 06:45

...if any of you have a black screen when palying the video simply change resolution to 240 and u good to go...

2014-02-08 02:27

Then u can change it back to 360 right after. Idk why it is doing that.

2014-02-08 06:46

Nice episode, first one of this series I've seen and it was great. I enjoyed it more than some of the fnatic pod casts. Some of the questions felt a little repetitive in that maybe you didn't realize the answers would be the same every time you ask about preparation for different tourneys. Not a big deal though Also, #23 has it on players Great job though, keep them coming

2014-02-08 03:59

Thanks man will do!

Does i am only with few isues with this YouTube video? Screen is black all the time and sound is lagging every few secends, unwatchable.

2014-02-10 13:35

Just cycle quality options.

2014-02-10 22:15

A little bit late comment, but atleast now i found time to watch this. Thanks, this was really interesting and entertaining, great job and good luck on next episodes. In the start, it was interesting, where you and n0thing touched to tho CS news, which of course is almost all about something in Europe and n0thing wasnt quite knowning all about it, so, for me, even this is show more for NA, it would be very cool to got conversation with someone from Europe, touch more about Europe stuff and in the same time get thought and opinions from European CS player about NA scene. :) Alrady following to you and waiting for next episode, keep it cool.
