2020-09-21 13:39

Maybe cuz s1mple or niko didn't want to?

2020-09-21 14:27

And what?

2020-09-21 15:05

One bigger league during fall and spring split in to regions (EU, CIS/Asia, NA/SA/AUS) were the best in each region qualifies for the majors which are played in a tournament format. This would be a lot better then todays fragmented scene with so many different organisers wanting to host only the big teams playing against each other every second week. Ofc there would be lower leagues and qualifying up and down aswell. (Katowice and Cologne could stay as invitationals)

2020-09-21 13:15

THREAT is my all time favourite coach.

Until gtr makes coach

2020-09-21 15:06

Do simple next

2020-09-21 13:43

S1mple ghosting SpunJ obv for a reason. To join this podcast is a free choice unlike TO interviews. Before we see S1mple we will see Boombl4 or Blad3 from navi. And there is also nothing special S1mple need to talk about. he plays his game and that's it. Niko who said he want to talk about Faze should be the best option, if he chose HLTV for his Interview.

Great guest

2020-09-21 18:09

Can anyone reply the time frame when Chad starts his rant?

2020-09-21 21:18

he rants multiple times at various points very entertaining and he's not wrong on most things, but he should try to reign it in a little to give others a chance to speak. At one point, THREAT was just sat there for like 10mins feeling useless! The only thing I didn't agree with is that tournament organisers and teams should go to war. I dont think anyone wants to see a bigger tournament organiser crush or outbid every other TO ending up with a boring monopoly

2020-09-22 10:21

Ohkay I guess I'll have to watch it whole. Nvm.

2020-09-22 11:58

every team "rebuilding"

2020-09-21 23:15

all this started when draken got kicked. and ever since its only gone downhill. this team experienced so many changes and he is talking about rebuilding. say what?
