14-8-2024 17:01

FaZe will take on Rare Atom in the online event's curtain-raiser.

mauisnake is back on a tier one broadcast for the first time since IEM Katowice

BLAST has announced the schedule and talent lineup for Fall Showdown 2024, the online event with the final two spots at Copenhagen's Fall Final on offer.

The two Copenhagen invites will be decided on August 25, in best-of-three 'finals', for each bracket.

World No. 6 FaZe were sent to Showdown after being defeated by Ninjas in Pyjamas at Fall Groups, and there is potential for a rematch in the top-half of the first of two single-elimination eight-team brackets.

Cloud9 and HEROIC have been drawn into the tricky top half of teams with FaZe and NIP, while Complexity, Virtus.pro, and Falcons are the highest-ranked teams in the bottom half of the bracket.

The talent lineup features a streamlined team of BLAST usuals James "⁠BanKs⁠" Banks, Conner "⁠Scrawny⁠" Girvan and Mohan "⁠launders⁠" Govindasamy alongside returning analyst Alex "⁠Mauisnake⁠" Ellenberg.

A fixture among tier one talent in the last few years, Mauisnake has had a quieter 2024 whilst building his streaming presence, and Showdown will be his first top event since February's IEM Katowice.

British commentary duo Jack "⁠Jacky⁠" Powers and Vince "⁠Vince⁠" Hill then round out the list to make a team of seven.

The full lineup is:

Jacob "⁠Pimp⁠" Winneche
Alex "⁠Mauisnake⁠" Ellenberg

actual truthbomb, from casting S tier events to casting nothing and now a tier2 qualifier

2024-08-14 18:27

How have you signed up this year and are already at 3000+ comments? All your baits are the same anyways, always playing victim while attacking others. Whole thing gets old quick does it not?

2024-08-14 20:39

rent free + blocked

2024-08-14 20:40

He definitely would be the sub in a relationship

2024-08-15 04:38

I don't think Maui is responsible for that narrative more than Zywoo's performance in certain games

2024-08-14 22:52

zywoo is in the running for top1 but somehow he sucks

2024-08-15 00:04

I didn't say he sucks, but he sure does ghost in some big games every now and then

2024-08-15 13:59

Lmao 0/8

2024-08-15 05:43

A brazilian who can't handle when BR players are critiziced. What else is new?

2024-08-14 17:34

Maui haters in shambles. Glad that it isn't the same talents all the time.

2024-08-14 17:04

maui haters still enjoying themselves fully aware that he's banned from all ESL tournaments anyway and nobody cares about bootcamp fall finals 20xx sponored by skibidi toilet X pot noodles

Maui decided to go full heel and found out the players and teams don't appreciate it. The guy was never a tier 1 player, and I would rather get more actual players commenting.

2024-08-14 18:00

Just because you played at T1 doesn't mean you can articulate well on a camera to an audience which is an entirely other set of skills. Same as most great coaches were mid players (Blade, zonic). Thorin has spoken about it before many unnamed pros trying out media after retirement and it generally just don't have the knack.

2024-08-15 04:32

Well said. Don't always agree with MS takes but it's a breath of fresh air to the scene. Most people on here just like to be jerked off hearing the same shit about their favourite player / team.

2024-08-15 04:35

this just ruined my day

I felt second hand embarassment watching that

2024-08-14 17:57

same. Imagine caring that much about strangers on the internet xd

2024-08-14 19:05

and later on he sucked off zywoo in person saying how he has cultural impact like zywoo gave a fuck about him talking shit in the first place - dude legit thinks the world revolves around him and his opinions... just embarrassing

2024-08-14 19:20

If he said that you can find the source?

2024-08-14 19:22

I'm searching right now it's kinda hard to find but I will post if I can, I think it was after Blast Premier World Final 2023 I'm looking mens

2024-08-14 19:24

youtube.com/watch?v=ZrdCxoBOXhI 5:11:40 found it, to be fair this was before the clip you posted but it still serves the same purpose

2024-08-14 19:33

jesus thats such a 180 lmao. makes this clip even more strange. tf is this "cultural impact" debate even that he started to begin with

2024-08-14 21:12

cultural impact is who he likes the most at the moment

2024-08-15 00:07

Meds

2024-08-14 19:21

I don't think meds have anythin to do with it. That's just how he is men

2024-08-14 19:28

Maui running circles around the haters

for casting a tier2 qualifier? XD

He will also work the Shanghai major lil bro

Why do people even care what analysts are there do yall actually listen to them?

sometimes even more than watching the actual matches in full

2024-08-14 18:54

my beautiful sexy goat is back

Tiny hands are back. Dude has the smallest hands in the world.

2024-08-14 18:02

why do you care about hand size, just making sure they fit around your ****?

2024-08-15 06:32

awesome

plsnoooooo

Analyst is boring = HLTV cries Analyst actually has a personality = HLTV cries the fuck do u want then

2024-08-14 17:26

thorin

If thorin was back 80% of HLTV would make incessant threads whining so clearly youre in the vocal minority. The threads made when it was implied he got a gig were just painful to read.

2024-08-14 18:28

no, its only few that would make those threads and they are the vocal minority. Real CS fans know how good a job he has done many times before and can do again. We can ignore his hobby of ragebaiting on socialmedia.

2024-08-14 18:38

Cadian

ok i hate him but all hate aside, please explain how he has a n actual personality? the guy is legit boring, there is no enthusiasm in his voice, he isn't funny or witty either do you say personality because he makes clickbait takes?

2024-08-14 18:29

Man do you come across as a whining bitch, eh. You're literally paying Maui to live in that head of yours.

2024-08-15 04:54

If by personality you mean corny takes for views to impress kids then yeah. You can have a personality and be interesting without being a clown. Mauisnake is a 'table desk analyst' whose entire gig is to say 'kick x', 'kick y', 'z is shit'.

2024-08-14 23:01

Maui/personality Pick one...

2024-08-15 05:46

least stacked talent announcement of all time

can't wait for maui to do a cultural impact tier list in-between games

maui haters are unemployed

projecting much

2024-08-14 23:02

ah that one got to you huh

2024-08-16 15:06

2024-08-14 18:20

Mauisnake haters in shambles, they can't function knowing someone they dislike is getting work! People caring this much about a single piece of talent is beyond unhealthy.

Yea bro we are absolutely in shambles because Maui got his first event of the year 10 months in and it's an online tier2 qualifier KKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK

2024-08-14 18:31

Bro you're obsessed and that's weird. I've never had this much space in my head rent free dedicated to a piece of talent or player. But then again, when does a BR flag CS fan not obsess over people endlessly to an unhealthy degree because of insignificant drama?

2024-08-14 21:22

Oxygen thief smh.

He's a very divisive member, which makes him great entertainment. Notice there is one negative and one positive comment, both have multiple upvotes

2024-08-14 18:32

This guy gets it. I can understand why he can be seen as polarizing, however, he is a breath of fresh air on the desk and willing to say things others are not. I'm sorry if he pointed out your fav player had a bad series or is not performing to the level their team needs for success.

One of the worst talents ever. Maui is very, very, very bad analyst. I'm hoping for blast bankrupt

Snax hater number one got a job noway

2024-08-14 19:35

Honestly I think maui together with maniac and pimp are my golden trio when it comes to the desk. Glad to have him back <3

2024-08-14 20:46

ah Cols only fan. Likely had to pay to get the job. Whom will somehow spin Col elimination as praise somehow. Can possible speak truth about his fellow americans. The guy is the definition of bipolar. One day talking about how awesome a team is looking, 2 days later trash talking them for losing to a single team(quite possibly best team)

2024-08-14 21:28

the mental disorder you are describing sounds a lot more like borderline than bipolar disorder tbh. If you are going to use mental illness in a derogatory way, it should atleast be somewhat accurate description to the diagnosis.
