Hahaha I'm hyped I can listen to HLTV on Apple Podcasts now. Internet lags out sometimes on twitch when I'm at work. Also I hope they cover a little bit on the implications of the Ukraine crisis on the CS community. Many top 30 teams are Russian and NaVi is 50-50 split between the two countries (counting Blad3). S1mple tweeted about bombs in his city. Will this affect their performance and mental health? 1 hour ago ESL said that IEM Katowice would continue as planned and that they are keeping close watch on the Ukraine situation.

NaVi as an org pledged their support to Ukraine, so the Russian trio is either gonna be dead silent on their opinions or they support Ukraine as well, and I know other orgs have but I'm not sure on CIS teams. Jake Lucky made a tweet abt it but I'm too lazy to look

I wish they would mute spuNPCj's never ending rants instead. Save that shit for your blog and talk about video games.

2022-02-24 22:34

Just wondering how will ESL protect Russian players from being DDOS during matches? Or prevent the event from being hijacked by political views of either side.
