m0nesy is just getting started while sh1ro is top 3 already. They're both quite young and early into the Top of the top and are here to stay.

And about Source 2 (no)

Why not someone else from C9?

2023-03-14 14:34

Because no one else can speak english.

2023-03-14 14:44

hobbit, groove?

2023-03-14 15:25

Hobbit gives so careful and generic answers that you won't get any interesting information. Nafany will spill much more even if sometimes you can't connect pieces of information.

2023-03-14 23:58

He is their IGL, therefore he will be able to give much better answers

2023-03-14 15:36

GOAT dont cry this time men))

2023-03-14 14:37

actually my fav igl, looking forward to see him to taking C9 to new heights 🐐

"SPUNJ crying over Grayhound & Rooster" Topics KEKW

2023-03-14 14:48

tis the fate of an aussie cs fan (except for small periods between 2019 and 2020).

2023-03-14 17:54

Nafany owns aleksibot

2023-03-14 14:57

Not hard

2023-03-14 15:05

Naffers unite

nafany's first HLTV-C was the reason I became a fan of Gambit, hopefully this one will be just as good

2023-03-14 15:20

invite electronic

2023-03-14 15:24

does he speak english tho?

2023-03-14 17:11

"- SPUNJ crying over Grayhound & Rooster" Shouldn't it be "- SPUNJ malding over Grayhound & Rooster"?

2023-03-14 15:35

For the love of God please mention maui and just see if nafany reacts in any way.

2023-03-14 16:02

5 replies

why would he react?

2023-03-14 17:01

Well because maui is easily the biggest nafany "hater" out of all the analysts and talent (non players or fans)

2023-03-14 18:02

oh, true that

2023-03-14 18:07

why he hates him

2023-03-14 20:33

Because he has literally the best duo any team has in the scene with sh1ro and ax1le , should be contending for number 1 yet can't even be a top 5 team consistently. Not to mention he's had some awful calling when it comes to playoff matches , the ancient map that took them out of the last major comes to mind. Where he called a rush aat the same place over 7 times in a row and lost every round.

2023-03-14 21:13

Can you please ask Nafany what differences. if any he notices concerning the level of support he receives for his role as an IGL moving from Gambit to Cloud9?

2023-03-14 17:03

Nafany aka "honestly" inc ))) great to hear him again 2 years later on Confirmed

2023-03-14 17:33

no future with buster

2023-03-14 21:14

VOD subs only? what is this new bullshit

2023-03-14 22:35

Check on youtube day later

2023-03-14 22:50

Please ask him about not playing T2 events anymore. Is it decision of Cloud9, coach or players? Ax1Le recently mentioned that he preferred when they played more.
