Americas RMR Rating toooooo

2023-04-04 12:40

i know last episode was this talk about cs2 just being a continuation of csgo, but does hltv have something planned for the end of global offensive?

2023-04-04 12:42

God valde Pog

2023-04-04 12:49

will SPUNJ walk away again when NA is talked about?

2023-04-04 12:50

Watch them go over Americas RMR in 2 secs.

Can’t wait to see HLTV Confirmed paint a picture of what we can expect of the RMRs.

2023-04-04 12:53

Will be nice to hear from his pov.

2023-04-04 13:00

why did they kick him out? why was he learning chess? heh

What does he think about 9INE

I think that they are a very intriguing team. Some fun facts - the team name would read the same, if they left out the "INE" suffix. Just "9" and it would still read the same. I think that is very disturbing, that the casters do not read it as "NINEINE". THIS should be talked about more. I think KEi and hades habe been in really really strong form recently.. making NINEINE progress beyond expectations :)

You think players about to compete at perhaps their most important event of the year will take 2hrs to take part in the podcast?

2023-04-04 17:21

i mean only half of the teams are in/traveling to copenhagen right now, those of rmr A, and with the stream being at 20 CET there's probably someone happy to come on the show from rmr B also maybe a complexity player has some spare time in the airport and he could hop on

2023-04-04 18:57

so in answer to profs questions you would answer: yes? y u have b0t brain?

2023-04-04 19:31

players that compete in the RMR have been playing multiple matches of CS2 beta on dust2, a map that isnt even in the map pool so i dont think joining you, if their practice day ended, would be worse than that

2023-04-04 19:53

Wtf u guys wandering around hltv comments chad

2023-04-04 23:04

To everyone on tonight's show. What is the one roster you would want to join, and who would you be replacing, to try and qualify for the major? (Prof if you want to be cheeky limit Spunj to Australian only teams).

2023-04-04 13:44

Question for SPUNJ: Will he return to competitive play when Counter-Strike 2 gets officially released?

2023-04-04 13:46

sad for valde, another major missed. he's a clever and capable player and he could be a very good support/anchor player for so many teams. it was a mistake to join ence and take high fragging roles, I hope he can find a new home soon.

Please built Fantasy teams together

2023-04-04 14:04

they got valde after bashing him last show damn

2023-04-04 16:11

Did April Fools break Striker? For Valde: he's been talked about as a rifler, a star player, a smart player (and thus maybe good as closer, clutcher). So maybe Valde himself can tell me: how should we see him and what's his best role in a team? Also, after the article about financial woes and two orgs mentioned being danish - any whispers among danish players about possible fallout? For SPUNJ: okay, so now you've coached the CS2 showmatch, what else has to happen for you to actually venture into coaching?

2023-04-04 17:47

Cool, looking forward to hearing some words from him (Valde) after all this time. I wonder what the challenge was for him to perform better, was it role issues? Looking forward to the show :)

2023-04-04 18:05

CAN THIS ONE BE ON YOUTUBE RIGHT AFTER IT'S DONE AND NOT THE 24 HOUR WAIT PLEASE

2023-04-05 15:41

Not really, just wrong spot in the team. If he would have been anchoring or something he would have been good addition most likely.

2023-04-05 15:51

His aim is just bad lately

2023-04-05 16:24

Was a great show as always, Valde's input was great, and I like how he is eager to share he's thoughts. I think I saw him at least one other time on here, a while back, before ence, maybe, was also very insightful. Also on the ranking regarding the RMR, I mostly agreed. But damn group B, like it was pointed out, have a lot more t1 teams than group A. I hope my boys make it, there is a chance!
