AMANEK Fit the Roles G2 Needed; Mistake to Force JACKZ - Reflections with Aleksib 2/3 - CSGO

Aleksi talking about bad communication in ENCE and the solution being to lock them in a sauna is the most Finnish thing I've heard

I can listen to Aleksib forever

[@yrrahyrrah]

24:45 I remember when Mantuu during the OG times was asked what his favourite map was and his answer was: "Mirage". When asked why, he said: "Because it's Aleksib's favourite map". This interview brings a tear into my eye because it showed how genuinely loyal and selfless of a teammate Mantuu was to Aleksib and the original OG lineup. Don't either forget how much he struggled with his wrist injury but still managed to play at a high level. He got way too much slack for the lack of OG's success.

I love how he mentions our egos want to force outcomes by overthinking under pressure, and end up ruining it. It's such a common recurring problem.

He was talking about expectations. In the 1st part of this interview Aleksi even explains that during the ENCE days allu had bigger expectations about winning in relation to the rest of the guys. Aleksi and the others were happy to be participating in big tournaments, whereas allu - the veteran - was thinking about winning the whole thing, since he had been there before. That was my understanding at least.

[@tommey2331]

I don't think he refers to them as being equal in skill, but being like a head figure in a team with a lot of experience.
