@spunj @prof ask striker why the rankings are so biased

2022-08-30 13:23

I watched a bit of his stream vs a team they easily beat 16-6 on mirage. He started to rant at Aunkere because apparently he didn't like his tone although no one else from his team or viewers thought it was the case. I really don't see any future for this lad in competitive CS if he won't dial down on the toxicity.

+1 His team will fire him before the major starts.

well aunkere and fear are good friends with him so clearly they tolerate it or you are making it out to be worse than it is. They played with him for antwerp qualifiers and chose to do it again for Rio

2022-08-30 14:28

No, bro, it wasn't me. His whole chat started to ask why he was so toxic towards Aunkere.

2022-08-30 20:52

Time stamp or didn't happen

Pog. Last week it was GTR and now Smooooyaa. I hope we get another s1mple interview after the major as well

2022-08-30 14:31

SMOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOYA

2022-08-30 14:36

Watched a bit of his stream, Smooya is lightning quick on the awp but his teammates must be tired of his voice. If he could tone it down a bit he could be special.

smoya....

2022-08-30 16:30

I tried to catch some of Smooya's streams and he seems very commanding on the map, dictating a lot of plays. Are the roles set now for the RMR then with you/Smooya doing most calls? Which RMR matches does Smooya look forward to? BIG? Navi? Would he have liked Fnatic in the group? And can anyone explain why everyone seems to love doing the Smoooooya chant? Great name for it? God I want to hear this with a live audience. P.S.: Which person in CSGO should I stan to get my hand on (commemorative) Maltese 2 euro coins? I may be willing to stop stanning SPUNJ for this

2022-08-30 18:32

I hope SpunJ will talk about the ridiculous format of Blast. That every team that lost their semi-final can just go through the showdown what is just stupid. These chances are undeserved and I hate Blast for it.

2022-08-30 18:39

nais :)

2022-08-30 20:07

better than s0mple

2022-08-30 20:32

smooya... over and over again no thanks

2022-08-30 20:53

Will you have Get_Right as coach

2022-08-30 22:23

Very good ending

2022-08-30 22:37

Smooya thinks broky is shit and not a top 3 awper, can easily be replaced, I've lost all respect for this twat.

2022-08-31 03:32

He didn't say that broky is sh!t but he was right about broky beeing replaceable. Look at god-tier awpers and broky. You can't compare broky to s1mple, zywoo, sh1ro, degster. Broky isn't a star in this meta. In this meta agressive awpers with opening kills shine brighter than broky. What he meant was in most things awper is most important and they do alot of stats based for awper. In Faze broky isn't the guy who risk to open round and based on his stats with awp, at least 10 awpers could do what broky does for FaZe. He is a top player but he's not top awper and for example its hard to replace degster, zywoo, sh1ro, s1mple but its ez to replace broky. edit: even hades has slightly better stats in awpers meta than broky. The thing is, Faze has very different style than most teams and broky works for them but there is not a single awper from top10 who couldn't replace him

2022-08-31 08:30

I think your wrong but let's just leave it at that, you make it sound like simple or zywoo never miss, I see them miss sitters every time they play, it's embarrassing rofl, honestly they are both the most overrated players in CSGO it's sad.
