>>1552128usa?
>>1552131Yeah
>>1552128>>1552139you have cs3 to live for, you’ll be fine
>>1552128>>1552139Looking from a somewhat socialist (not communist, we have market capitalism) country your healthcare&pharma industry looks pretty diabolical
>>1552123Would be cool but there's no more spots available at G2 since Jimpphat is taking NiKo's spot and kyousuke is replacing huNter.
why the poortuguese flag lol
>>1552166He speaks Portuguese
remember when csgog actually played cs
>>1552166his parents are brazilian
>>1552166Jonathan 'EliGE' Jablonowski is a proud descendant of the Portuguese Conquistadors.
>>1552175it's /cs2g/ and I still play csnot in yuletide however since I'm visiting family
>>1552182cs2g never played cs thoughever so there's nothing to remember
>>1552175Please observe the title of the thread. Thank you very much!

you can just tell jL is really good at eating pussy
>>1552190kyousuke
donk is getting out'goat'd
>>1552214Step aside donk and m0NESY, kyousuke is the new goat in town.
>>1552214working hard for that G2 spot
>donk knifedthis is your top 1?
is he better than donk?https://clips.twitch.tv/BigRockyEmuSMOrc-gLdhSlEB2QwZw_at
donk got kyousuke'd

>>1552153Considering they conspired to create a generation of opioid addicts, I agree
>>1552153it is. there's great care available if you fork over the money, and the for-profit industry does help fund a lot of the innovation but it fucking sucks for 99% of us lol.>dude just have insurancethe vast majority of people do and medical bills are the #1 cause of bankruptcy>pay premiums every month>pay copay>pay deductible>pay out of pocket>pay out of pocket maximum>finally get bills coveredit's insane, the propaganda against single payer [confusing it with gov run] has done wonders for the corporations against change

>>1552282>>1552281>>1552257>magixx to iglperfection
>m0nesy outawped by dekoyeah he's done
>>1552112my favorite banks was when NAVI won major and Banks asked iM "you suck but still won, explain" becasue he';s a navi supertard fan and thought iM was bad for NAVI, zero respect
fact: donk got more aces in the major than you did in 2024 (vs eco doesn't count)https://youtu.be/dYLuZdmPGyA
i saw that banks was voted into top3 "talent" in this hltv thing. Is this some kind of meme or there are really some people who enjoy his work?
>>1552303https://x.com/BanKsEsports/status/1870239113464406367
i love how Kyousuke took a giant steaming pile of shit on moneys' chest.
>>1552314what a looser. And i thought hooxi begging for a job was kwab of the week
what's our thoughts?
>>1552329Only good under nitr0, disaster afterward. Hope Liquid can find some cracked zoomer with insane aim to replace him.
>>1552329holy KEKindar
>>1552329>liquid is the best because i ran it
>>1552329>what's our thoughts?my first thought is wtf is up with that photomy second thought is "expected"
>>1552222holy fucking mogged
>>1552329long have we waited
Liquid misspelled his name in the farewell post kek
why are people acting like he's a total shitter?
>>1552351>MereksBWAHHAHAHAHHAHHAHAHHAHA
>>1552356>all matches>all timecope
>>1552356can you change those to top 20 and the past 2 years?maybe lan events too
>>1552360>>1552361still better than karrigan
>>1552364>h-he's better than this shit boomer!!ok
>>1552356he's been bad for a long time in Liquid and it's not improving, no one thinks he's a total shitter, he will find another team and probably bounce back
who's 18?
rainwaker will save liquid
>>1552374mezzi
>>1552364its kinda funny that you would expect that such cs2 should really boost such type of the player
>>1552364>entry fragger in his prime versus 34 year old igl>bbut at least he's not karrigan!
>prime
what are the odds magixx is 18?
LuL
>>1552405hahahahaha
>>1552405>>1552408what's funny?
>>1552405Ropz is our guy loooool, fazesissies in shambles!
>>1552409your downfall
i'm seeing a pattern, top 1 next year
>>1552410is this a bold prediction?
was magixx right?https://youtu.be/oDu35WaNwJ4
>>1552356>>1552364it's over bro, stop trying to shape the narrative just go back to latvia and live on the liquid money until you od alone
>>1552410boldest prediction in estonia
>>1552424Bruh, imagine if he said donk
why do people pretend he's good?
>>1552432fooled by randomnessread nntaleb
>>1552432how does a bad igl get his team to 8 finals in a year?
>>1552329jame time?????
>>1552405shanghai saved this man
>>1552432he plays as selflessly as hooxi did. 0.9 rating in those roles is above average
>>1552432he has fucking igl:ing highlights from 2024, which should be an oxymoron but somehow it happened
>>1552441apex made 6 last year, nafany made like 10 a couple years ago
>>1552472people meme on apex because he malds and gets admittedly carried by zywoo, but he's still a tier1 iglnafany was relevant only during the online era = he was never relevant
>>1552472apex had zywoo, aleksib's best weapon is jLoser
>>1552480apex is inarguably on a tier1 team, don't think I'd go further than thatand I wouldn't talk shit about covid era cs in your shoes considering 50% of navi's wins this year were basically crowdless studio lans
which teams are tier 1?https://liquipedia.net/counterstrike/Portal:Teams
>>1552486for me certainly the current hltv top8 with some outlier candidates outside itOn a broader scope something like top15
>>1552491I find it somewhat helpful to see what are considered gatekeeper teams: ef and big, so certainly above them

>>1552484LAN vs. online is a very different discussion than lan event differences my man
https://youtu.be/7Q4ocyuMkMg
>>1552506why do people think kyousuke is moving anywhere?he's in the spirit academy program for another 6 months
>>1552510because he's good enough to be in a t1 team
>>1552515literally irrelevant
>top 20 for 9 straight years, 2nd place twice, 3rd place twice but no 1st>1st one yearwho's more goated?
>>1552503no shit, you have an opinion you're working backwards fromif you disliked navi and wanted to denigrate them you'd think epl vs turks with twelve people in attendance or ewc in front of apathetic indian visa-slave janitors was closer to a covid cologne or hotel lan than a real crowd event
>>1552521what does this have to do with the online era?are you feeling quite okay?
>>1552506haggard
>>1552525I meant a covid kato, but otherwise I don't get the gap in communication hereif you like navi you say they made 6 finals, lan is lan, inarguable team of the year. if you dislike navi you look at those events and pick a problem (prestige, bo5 choking, crowd, who they faced, early cs2, etc). if you like gambit you say they were mechanically insane and clear #1 but peaked at the wrong time, if you don't you can say they weren't playing real cs. just don't be shocked when other people remember 2024 navi differently than you in a year or twoit's always happened (awp merchant, tec-9 merchant, krieg/aug merchant, weak era, no-events era, too many events-era, only won because of major roster-lock rules, only won because everyone was shuffling), is currently happening (donk will be exposed any day now, navi were flukes) and will continue to happen
You guys told me its literally impossible to replace yekindar because he's the only aggressive player.
>>1552525>are you feeling quite okay?DEVASTATING>>1552558>he fell for itkeklmaowab
>>1552520I rate NiKo's longevity over coldzera's peak but I rate donk's peak over both of them. Unlike coldzera who was a baiter and always relied on his elite supporting cast to set him up, donk won a major almost singlehandedly. He got one good game out of sh1ro and one good game out of magixx, other than that he was a one man army. I don't think anyone else wins the major in donk's position. Even prime s1mple loses in the final.
>>1552560>DEVASTATINGawarded gold for this epic post :D
>>1552557what ever made you go on this insane tangent I will never know but do follow with great amusementJust to anchor this outpour somewhat in reality: go check out nafany's liquipedia page, the guy is almost nonexistant offline. I don't know how navi's year of 2024 factors into this but I'm sure you'll let me know
>>1485891
>>1552568>what ever made you go on this insane tangent I will never knoware you retarded or what>>1552441>how does a bad igl get his team to 8 finals in a year?>>1552472>nafany made like 10 a couple years ago>>1552480>nafany was relevant only during the online era = he was never relevant>>1552484>50% of navi's wins this year were basically crowdless studio lans
>>1552486None of them. The scene is weak right now, so the best teams are only Tier 1.5. Now Fnatic 2015... THAT was a Tier 1 team.
>>1552583only one of those was my post, which you dragged into totally unrelated discussionsmy post was about nafany being an online era merchant (which is undeniably true)this is funny though
what the fuck is nafany posting in /cs2g/ this shit is unhinged
idk about nafany but i'm convinced a number of na players and personalities post in this general
>>1552594I do
>you dragged into totally unrelated discussionsor you dragged a "how could aleksib be bad if his team was successful" conversation into an irrelevant discussion about the merits of other eras. why do you think I'm a die-hard nafany supporter when I used him as an example of a bad igl? given we both agree about that, even if their accomplishments were worth less, isn't he a bad igl succeeding against the competition he played, the point of the initial post?why when I said "you're a navi fan, so you'll see it this way" 50x, all in reference to the start of the conversation (i.e. aleksib), did you not say "I'm not a navi fan, I just have strong opinions about 2021 cs">are you feeling quite okay?>great amusement>this is funny thoughare you capable of having a conversation without constantly doing a jim-from-the-office-esque "welp, haha, isn't this crazy guys? what's going on here haha?"
>>1552610>>1552589
>>1552610meant for >>1552589
>>1552610I'm not a navi fan but if we're talking about tier1 igls aleksib is at the top currently; it's the only way that navi roster even makes sense, it has three nobodies, one great-but-not-superstar player in b1t (who had a pretty unstable year) and a superstar igl who squeezes out near-maximum potential from his pieces in the aggregate. And a great deal of merit has to be given to blad3 for building the roster, but he's still not the one moving the pieces round-by-round. And the teams results are the best of all in 2024, a very competetive year in hindsight. I can't attribute their consistent success to anyone else on the server.
mentally ill yekindar fan btfo
>>1552643>yekindar fanthat's a thing?
>>1552652there's one who defends him here, only one i've ever seen
>>1552654I think he gets somewhat overhated, but the falloff from the days when he was csgo's best entry (yes, that actually happened) to whatever the fuck he is now is understandably making people mad
>>1552576my sides
The last 2 threads have been especially cancerous.>nonstop top 20 discussions (no one gives a fuck)>was spirit's win a big question mark?>schizo theories about roster moves>KYOUSUKE #1>x/y/z-sisters how do we cope with a/b/c?Something feels so off. Maybe it's because /ourchink/ has stopped posting. Just doesn't feel the same without him, hope he comes back soon.
>>1552792But what about skin posting/discussing? Are you alright with that, Chudda?
https://www.hltv.org/matches/2378125/genone-vs-badguys-frost-and-fire-europe-season-1-closed-qualifierdrillas are back
>>1552792sorry im 2 weeks nofap
>>1552792>was spirit's win a big question mark?this is one guy who's upset that faze lost AGAIN to spaghetti arms
>>1552797i completely forgot about worohe should have been picked up by some org alrerady
>>1552795nigga I thought you sold your gay ass blood smeared pencildick knife
>>1552795sure! let's see everyone's collection.
>>1552824I've loaned out my skins to a friend because I don't play CS2.
tomorrow
>>1552792Would you prefer seething about Sexter and and Auschads for the millionth time?
>>1552824only have my knife left from my all black loadout which valve ruined when cs2 came out, in csgo its very high float made it look almost pitch black
>>1552844this is way better than that faggy red stiletto
>>1552852I sold it, stop fuming...
>>1552835Unironically yes. I'm tired of all these autists posting retarded shit. No one cares who's #20 or #1 get a life losers. Also tired of all these speculative roster moves with 0 evidence.>Donald J. Trump to Falcons>Xi Jinping to FlyQuest>Cristiano Ronaldo to Bestia>>1552844Anything's better than that rainbow flag.
>>1552859Why does discussion about who performed best this year upset you so much?
>>1552859desu you're right, there didn't need to be another thread since there is no CS on for a long time
>>1552221how the fuck can i play like this? obviously this is a highlight where enemy team made a huge mistake twice but i literally can't move around the map or peek like that
i would like to bring back isolating yourself in a confined environment and using your specified aim trainer
>>1552876Think of yourself as the main character.
>>1552897main character always has a training arc
>>1552876thousands of hours in deathmatch, have fun

>>1552961why didnt you include currency in your screencap, jeet?
>>1552654(the one who defends him hates aussies and uses yekindar being an entry to attack jks)
>>1552859I think it's funny to see completely retarded roster changes.
