2025-01-29 13:26

2025-01-29 13:41

Can you post the links to the highlights? I can‘t see the videos on my phone.

I see, no cookies from me

2025-02-02 16:57

you can click on the title of each moment and watch from twitch.

2025-02-04 20:00

Highlights instead of play by play actually good choice +1

2025-01-29 15:03

I think this is definitely better style of giving exciting updates. One thing I can comment on: You may re-think adding more clips. On 4 matches, you have 1 clips so far. You may not add every highlight but this version draws less attention than hoped.

2025-01-29 15:22

Agreed

2025-01-29 15:29

after the 2nd half of sAw vs GL, I'm convinced those 2nd and 3rd kills from Mutiris were just panic jitters

One Thanksgiving, Barack Obama went on a walk in NAs finest forest, when he noticed 5 kids hunting turkeys. However, rather than use their guns, the kids just ran directly into the turkeys and got bitten. Obama went up to the kids, and told them (like any great American would) “Kids, just use your guns”. The kids shit their pants and threw up. Those kids names? Complexity.

2025-01-29 20:26

what a holy copypasta

2025-01-29 21:22

that woxic clutch is definitely the most stylish clutch of the year so far

2025-01-29 23:21

link pls can`t find

2025-02-02 15:58

I'm too lazy to go find it. Just watch their Train overtime against Complexity, it's worth the watch anyway.

2025-02-02 19:38

thought the ultimate deagle 1v3 was gonna be a lot sicker :p

2025-01-30 05:39

nice Jba

2025-01-30 17:36

tier 1 clutch from a tier 1 team (jotaa's 1v4)

2025-01-30 20:01

Against half buy 1by1...

2025-01-30 20:12

Calyx would never.

2025-01-30 20:24

this was exactly what i said when it happened

2025-01-31 11:00

Wtf that was actually insane, clutch of the year already?

2025-01-30 22:36

I thought jota plays DOTA more

2025-01-31 01:52

Uhh look at the clipping ok a site inf (float textures above library/long) so annoying to spot

2025-01-31 03:45

kauez ace clip: 4 kills facepalm

NiKo, you silly gold digger, if you wanted money, you should have just told me! I’d gladly give you the amount you’re earning, just to have you stay in G2 and win trophies. All I’d ask in return is to touch your beautiful hair and run my hands over your soft, delicate skin while you brush your hard beard against me.

2025-02-01 14:18

reasonable crashout tbh, magisk is such a bot nowadays. Time to retire

2025-02-01 14:26

Enjoy falcons Niko

2025-02-01 14:37

180 Scout HSs are still impressive number for an AWPer!

2025-02-01 15:44

HLTV please: º

2025-02-01 16:02

2025-02-01 16:22

I this that was pretty cool

2025-02-02 15:16

why was it cool? hey im not going to do my job because i did not like this play?

2025-02-02 15:28

this is the most dumb play of the last 2 years for sure though and i understand his reaction. that said, spunj DID act unprofessional. not to dick ride to much but scrawny and launders would have handled it way better

2025-02-02 15:32

play was dumb, no doubt about it, but reaction was unwarranted, spunj acting like he can do anything he wants. Maybe he doesnt want jks to lose lmao

2025-02-02 16:04

Couldn't handle that polish gameplay

2025-02-02 15:05

it's coded in polish genes after pasha full control

2025-02-02 15:44

thats fucking cinema right there, ragequitting a cast scrawny and launders after nip amkal be like: wait that was an option?

2025-02-02 15:12

"why are we watching this?" "because we are being paid to" although spunj's reaction is justified, scrawny and launders are actually better than this

2025-02-02 15:30

"Why are we still here? Just to suffer?"

2025-02-02 15:53

ultimate tf are you doing? just shoot man LOL

2025-02-02 15:40

Obvious 322. Nothing more than that

2025-02-02 16:47

spunj what a cringelord lmao just put the fries in the bag buddy

lol, projection. Gets payed to travel the world casting a game.

should get fired, or not throwing tantrums mid game and refusing to cast because ultimate is braindead... unprofessional but expected from spunj, he usually is like this

2025-02-02 19:17

I thought it was funny. I had the same reaction.

2025-02-02 19:19

Spunj would never say this when jks loses important rounds for quickswitching like a comedian

2025-02-02 16:43

Malding polak It's an obvious 322 play... Ultimate will get sent back to t4 soon or ESIC banned

2025-02-02 16:46

Twitch link pls?

2025-02-02 16:54

mirage, first pistol round

2025-02-02 21:01

Ty brother

2025-02-02 21:03

I can never see this embedded posts. Nothing seems to be working. How do I fix this? Maybe HLTV can link it as well?

You need to enable third-party cookies. Site asked you what information you will share. Seems like you block all. Same as me btw 😆

2025-02-02 20:23

same problem, couldnt find the solution, but sometimes for some reason they working, idk wtf

Magisk!

2025-02-02 17:57

lil bro forgot he is playing vs faze now

2025-02-02 20:16

elige seems happier in his current tenure on faze than the entire time in complexity

2025-02-02 21:47

Wow, nice one!

2025-02-02 21:50

"i am 35 boys" punctuation???

2025-02-02 21:54

35 boys in a trenchcoat

2025-02-03 11:19

How I can see these highlights, doesn't work for me even if I disable adblock etc..

2025-02-02 23:45

delete cookies than accept all in the popup

2025-02-03 06:43

How to delete them, tried to look how to but didn't get it xd

2025-02-03 14:35

if you're on chrome, to the left of the link (website url) there's a little settings button (looks like two lines with dots at the end). Then in the dropdown, Cookies and Site data, Manage on-device site Data and trash bin on all the hltv related things.

2025-02-03 16:45

Thank you very much for real you are the best. Struggled with this very much.

2025-02-04 18:12

2025-02-03 20:36

I was quite confident EF will lose this time but how th they won that eco..

2025-02-03 22:56

Still no bomb timer on HUD

2025-02-04 00:23

that's an EZ tier 1 win right there baby

2025-02-04 00:50

Very nice finally give the link to the clip instead of just showing the embed video.

2025-02-04 14:46

EZ PR

2025-02-04 15:35

I think it's about time Astralis hands Cadian a gold watch and be done with it. He isn't and will never be Astralis material.

2025-02-04 15:44

Why is cadian the problem? Bring sjuush and teses back for device and staehr like old heroic and this lineup is better than it will ever be.

2025-02-04 16:59

Why do you say "Astralis material" like that's any indicator of quality?

2025-02-04 21:27

Just like in football, players in Counter-Strike can't get injured, right? For example, like Donk getting injured. Eternal Fire needs to win Katowice.

this is an awesome thread I wish I could see literally anything in it

2025-02-05 04:40

twitch.tv/eslcs/clip/OddArbitraryTroutPa.. You should add direct links to any highlights you post like in that xantares one. For whatever reason i constantly get Error: Video embed not shown. Yes i tried deleting cookies, i tried everything...
