8-15 to 19-16, 11 straight round wins as both T and CT against Liquid. That is a fucking amazing accomplishment. And then you go on to end Na'Vi's run at the major. And it's your FIRST fucking major. One of the greatest underdog runs in CS:GO history.

Prof vs. Striker POG

I'm going to be honest I don't really like banks being an analyst sort of. When he offers his insight he mostly just reiterates other peoples points and he doesn't speak in an intelligent way I have no problems with him moderating but he detracts from the quality of the points being made on the show The rest of you have really hit your stride and I think spunj brings out a lot of entertainment and attitude from you guys, the lack of which made the first season kind of lame. However I do really like the shows where you bring on guests and I think the one with lmbt and ynk was really well done

"Was ENCE's run a fluke?" of course it was

Fluke is a strong word. Luck is part of cs. They got lucky but they managed to hold the emotions and showed up when they had to. Anyway. I still think that nrg faze and navi are better than ence. Maybe nip too. We'll see it along the year. Best of luck for us all #peace.
