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)

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.

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
