Mauisnake returns in World Final talent list

The American pundit joins Freya, Pimp, and STYKO on the analyst desk.

Mauisnake is at a Big Event for the first time since IEM Katowice

The American pundit appeared on Showdown in August and has been re-hired by the Danish tournament organizer for its Singapore World Final.

Action begins on October 30, at 07:00 , with Natus Vincere taking on Astralis.

Yeaaaaah, unless those companies change drastically he won’t be working there. New TOs might pop up once the circuit changes so there’s a slim possibility of more desks like Elisa

can someone ask Pimp if he could make a documentary about it? Would be such an epic investment of resources, let's say for someone like Blast, to create such off topic video about someone who is really interesting to listen to. I randomly said Blast, not because they are a Danish company owned in part by Denmark who would maybe kinda sorta have an interest in promoting a personality of a Danish player. Blast would never stand for such nepotism!

It s personnal preference...putting it down to "haters" is so simplistic and symptomatic of special snowflakes who can t take any criticism whatsoever. I can think of at least 3 I dislike, Maui being one of them. Doesn t mean he s a bad guy or there s any hate in it, just don t like his views and opinion. Learn to make the difference.

Unlike others (pimp), he seems like a nice guy but from what I ve heard, his analysis are too simple and his takes are often very "fence sitter", trying to please as many as possible...only when he speaks of NA teams does he actually have a genuine opinion. Even then, I ve never heard much of an original take from him. That being said, it s only my opinion and I get others might not see it that way.

When all they can say is "he has bad takes", "L", "he's a yapper", "he doesn't know cs" and they refuse to actually elaborate further. They are indeed a hater. The title is as simplistic as their criticism

Richard Lewis is one of the best pundits we have. Do we have other analysts who watch more demos and can go more in depth? Sure! Thorin ALSO doesn't break down demos like that, his specialty is specifically the history of the game. The analyst desk isn't just about breaking shit down. It's also about setting up story lines, and being an entertainment product.

Thorin is a macro analyst which is fine I don't need everyone to do demo reviews and narrate rounds after a game like Maui or YNK. It's also fine to rely on the analysis of these people if you want to craft wider arguments. The problem with RL imo is that he acts like an analyst when he is actually just referencing narratives. Thorin at least references actual analysis even if he doesn't do the micro himself
2024-10-23 20:48

I mean you must keep in mind Richard HAS watched demos in the past. He's sat behind teams while they called and played in the past. He's had many conversations with in game leaders and coaches about the game. I think its reasonable to throw out some takes , even without watching demos, and trusting that you have a decent eye for this stuff. I think rl is pretty rusty, he stopped watching the game for a while and probably only started seriously watching it again since pgl. I think his analysis is weaker than it used to be because of that. But I also think that's temporary. And also doesn't reflect on his prior analysis work on desks back when he was "in form" But yeah anyway I don't think rl necessarily just references narratives. I think if you look at his analysis prior to him leaving the scene momentarily, that'll become obvious. Also he was one of the best voices for shining light upon up n coming tier 3 players in the space for a Long time. And that was based purely off his own observations , not narratives that didn't exist for said unknown players. But i don't necessarily think having a correct point = having a good point worth bringing up on a desk. I think sometimes throwing something out that's not correct but is great narratively. And then allowing the others on the desk to explain why they disagree with said take, Can be more valuable than rehashing a take everyone's already went over plenty of times over the last few tournaments. For example. Pimps infamous "should we start blaming s1mple" line. Yes that was pretty dumb, no we shouldn't blame s1mple, not then especially. But it was quite interesting to hear his reasoning, and then to hear counter reasoning. Rather than just hearing more s1mple praise , we instead hear a perspective against s1mple, and then we get the same s1mple praise we would've gotten, but now under the framing and lens of "how is s1mple NOT the problem" which adds aa bit of a spin to the desk. I do agree with everything you said though. I just think that there's a bit of preference here at play. Where you prefer a desk to be filled with people who are nigh guaranteed to know what they're talking about at all times. I just do indeed think that's nice, but would rather prioritize an interesting desk. Not to insinuate that you can't have both! I actually feel that color commentators are where most analysis is given in the post covid era. Analysts realized that on a desk everything is TOO structured, where the behind the scenes staff picks the points to discuss for you, so if you had some big point to make but they want you to focus on entirely different rounds, then welp you don't get to discuss your point, and you have barely any time to make a point anyway. So alot of them simply transitioned to casting (Moses and spunj are the obvious examples) as when you're casting you have the entire games length to break the game down. Plus it pays alot more lol so it would be disingenuous to not mention that I suppose. I think if you have a Richard Lewis as an analyst and not a host. You could really use a maui or ynk who have loads of in depth knowledge. But I think that's what makes him not an s tier analsyt. Rather than it being what makes him some c tier analyst. I mean if you have both pimp and maui you could really use a ynk or maniac (fuck him as a person, I mean solely as an analyst) So I don't think it's too much of a negative trait to say if you have rl as an analyst you should have someone there who goes into demos to balance that out. Anyway that's just my perspective, sorry for typing out the Bible in response :D

it's really hard to stand behind NiP and call your self reasonable, NiP has been one of the worst orgs around if not top 1. Currently in court over stealing player's sticker money, just one of the bad things that org is up to... Hampus interview on Thorin's channel will tell you more on how incredibly toxic and terrible of a working environment NiP is. No one in their right mind should ever support any of that. I understand patriotism plays a part, but if you want good Swedish values to flourish then you shouldn't support NiP. Supporting anything NiP stands for is a huge red flag in and on it self because of how that org behaves.

if you actually spend time and call yourself a fan of the game in terms of the esports perspective you should go out of your way to look at the stuff of the people you hate in the scene. I hate Richard Lewis but i cannot ever discredit his work. He does a good job and his work has sort of changed my view of him. Similarly i used to think maui was a larper and did nothing but yap but i spent enough time to see that he does good analysis. Look at his recent video if you think otherwise

What are you talking about. Maniac was one of the best analyst in CS scene. There is a reason Maniac was hired everywhere, whereas Maui barely got a gig in 2024. If Maniac had been an option, there is no way Maui gets hired. Almost all of Maui's predictions are wrong. A level 10 could give the analysis he gives. Most of the time, he disrespects and belittles other players and coaches. He is a wannabe Thorin, just not funny, but as stupid as Thorin.

No idea mate. Maui explicitly stated on stream after that it was a joke. I remember it in more detail now. It was probably on one of the podcasts that he does with Thorin, Hot Take Point Made or Snake and Banter he said something something then ended with "dickhead" comment. After that Maui was streaming on twitch and realised he got blocked by spunj on Twitter then he stated that he was joking on the podcast and thought it was obvious enough that it was a joke. Guess he wasn't the cool guy all along that people thought he was and instead has petty grievances here and there.

here's the issue where I support Spunj here: I cannot call you a "dickhead" because two of us aren't close, can't do that even in a joking manner. It takes a certain level of relationship between us for that to be allowed and for us to insult each other on daily basis without it being insulting. I think it's obvious that Maui is not that socially capable to understand that, on one of his "hot takes" during announcing news he said "oh I have a fun one here, Electronic and his wife got divorced!" - which is like wtf - man has a kid and wife is taking that away from him, there can't be anything fun about divorce. That one stuck to my mind where I realized that he has some sort of anti-social disorder that makes him unable to understand emotions. Even if you are a brick you wouldn't call divorce "a fun one". With a grin on your face. There wasn't even a trace of compassion. I was so disgusted by that that I blocked Maui's channel from ever appearing on my yt, as well as snake and banter. Thorin's good there but sorry, can't support that.

No worries I respect your decision and opinion. Personally after being in various Maui streams, I have seen him show compassion and sympathy so I know for a fact he's capable of that. What happened to Stavn's irl bro came up as a topic and he definitely had the appropriate reaction and tome of speech. I can't find the exact timestamp or stream tho, if you asked me to prove it kek

if he really becomes prime Electronic one would have to think really hard if the divorce was a good or bad thing. i honestly dont know at that point. good for his career bad for his child i guess is what i could say. Electronic has never looked prime in the past year or so sadly

one needs to be happy in life to get anywhere near their prime, with Electronic it's more than safe to assume that issues around his family have played a major part in his dip in form.

tattoo is so damn ugly.. but raid dip is not self induced, he is a player who does everything for the team and that team hasn't been functional since twistzz left. Adding another heavy baiter in Frozen wasn't a great choice. Frozen also took some of rain's spots so it's natural for rain to dip even if team was doing as good as they were before. I do not think Rain is the issue, his stats are a product of an issue within Faze and sadly I do not think there's a solution apart from removing either ropz or Frozen. They are both great, just together they are not a good combo imo

i had same take as you. imo Frozen should've slotted into all of twistzz's spots 1 for 1. team should not make a compromise just for frozen. if they had to compromise then that was a bad fit imo and frozen should never be in faze. First fault garbage Faze management ghosted twistzz and gave insecurity to twistzz regarding his future in faze. At the time the gamesquare and complexity shit no one knows what would happen if they would drop the faze roster or not and keep complexity. Second fault after twistzz actually left, Karrigan should make it clear to Frozen before he joins that he is going to slot 1 to 1 into twistzz spots. If not, then he should not join and faze should get a replacement for twistzz 1 to 1 spots and roles. Third fault karrigan = free frag when walk thru smoke because every team already knows to hold smokes when playing vs karrigan

I do not think Frozen is good in twistzz roles, he's not that type of a player. I also do not think Faze ghosted twistzz, I think he just got antsy and in all fairness he did a very stupid thing. Sign of doubting him self and a lack of confidence, he didn't understand his value. He didn't need to Rush to make any signings, twistzz as is has 0 chance to spend a day being unempoyed in CS. Any team would benefit from him. Company was busy with other things, he needed to be more open as well. I think him moving away from one of the best teams in history of CS is one of the dumbest moves in history, imo No1 worse move. Frozen is not that selfless, he has big ego and likes people dancing around him. He is good, just not a good fit for Faze.

He said alot of bs and backpaddled and rage baits all the time. For example he said Zywoo has no cultural impact but when he interviewed him after Blast Finals back then he completly sucked him dry talking about his cultural impact. He is just a tad bit hypocritical but so are Thorin and Richard Lewis, he is just part of the bad bois when it comes to CS broadcast talent. Ppl who just build strawmen in his defense dont know him or his story.
