Love you Richard

Tech problems aside the espoo masters was a great vibe and incredible event. It had been too long since seeing Thorin and Richard on a desk together and it was about damn time we got it again. Thank you Mr. Ricardo for brightening my week a bit more than usual.

Honestly, the long tech pauses were a blessing in disguise for fans like me as the extended desk segments added a lot of special moments due to off-the-cuff analysis, which made the event even more memorable. There are even desk highlights for this event, and most are over 20-40 mins long, when was the last time this happened !!

I hope that you now understand, that the fever you got after the event was the infamous Espoo Sea hag plague, and the only way to avoid it is to kiss the sea hag on the lips before midnight to appease her wrath.

Richard you are genuinely the goat in esports host work and journalism. Thank you for not giving up on CS and reporting in general!

I watched the event solely for the desk. I got to follow RL just before the Stockholm Major which wasn't a 10/10 event BTS and made him re-retire for a very long time. I am so glad that Elisa made this, made everything more enjoyable. I am really happy for you mate! Cheers from Brazil!

It's not hyperbole when I say this was the greatest counter strike desk of all time. Any iteration of the game. A classic combo with a sprinkle of the best and wittiest of the next generation... perfect. Also, I miss Duncan at events terribly.

Fraud watch in Espoo lmfao

@Pabl0z 2 ай бұрын

As a Finn, I'm sad to report that these sea hags are a common occurance in most dive bars and hard to avoid anywhere. Finns go hard with alcohol, because it's true that we are often introverted and alcohol loosens us up, so we drink to be more social. But that can lead to awkwardness, as you have witnessed, when people lack social skills and then get drunk and think they know how to socialize. I think the sea hag was just a lonely, at least a semi-alcoholic, with limited social skills, and just wanted company (and probably also into your pants). Hopefully you dare to come back as I'd certainly love to witness this desk live next time :)

I really hope this event gave Thorin that kick towards the realization that he might miss doing events after all. He's a treat on broadcast - just so incredibly entertaining - and I don't think it'd hurt him to meet up with old chaps at the events either. Really only want that man to reap some benefits for his hard work and dedication. Love goes out to all three of you and everyone that made this Elisa what it was and here's to hoping it wasn't the last hurra.

The fact that people actually made desk highlight videos of the event is a testament to how great the vibe was, thats something you just don't see with other desks

I've always thought people are just exaggerating Finnish drinking culture being mad but somehow Rich saying it has finally convinced me we're indeed not normal lol

@Tobygas 2 ай бұрын

Watched that event mainly for the desk but the narrative you guys kept building for glaive throughout the tournament was super intriguing. The banter was top notch and I wish we'd see that old DreamHack style of deskwork in the current t1 events. Stellar job Richard! In regards to your bar incident with the drunk Fin, Espoo is like that. As a Fin who truly embraces the introvert in me, I despise bars in this country because personal space goes out the damn window

@Juusopuuso707 2 ай бұрын

It was a great show and nice to hear you had interesting time in Finland. I will make necessary sacrifices to sea hag until she stops haunting your dreams.

@alexkennedy6493 2 ай бұрын

it was truly a blast from the past to see you and Thorin on a desk together again and i personally loved your ending to Mauisnake with the line of you maybe a fraud but your my fraud, fantastic desk with all 3 of you and i for one would like to see more of it, you guys don't get the credit or the recognition you deserve.

You know, I can kinda relate to the "weirdo magnet" thing, and it's awkward and creepy asf. But I now believe there's levels to this thing and you *definitely* have the most advanced version of it. lmao

Never ever go to Helsinki - Tallinn overnight cruise unless you want the seahags to drag you to the bottom of the ocean. Bars on weekdays do also contain some interesting characters from time to time.

@r3issi 2 ай бұрын

It was great so see you on stream and live on the final day on the arena, some of the best desk work from all of you to date. Textbook example of how to make a somewhat boring event entertaining considering the level of teams playing. I hoped for better attendance for the final day, but the vibes were still there. Regarding the Sea Hag incident, that's just finnish drinking culture. Try not to make any contact with the other customers, otherwise you might never get rid of them. Ofc not all of them are like that tho, so you just have to gamble, if you want to be social.

When you have a Faze vs Spirit you can go all buttoned up and analisys only because the matchup and maps will give hours upon hours of content. When you have a Fnatic vs NIP, you need to make the entertainment because the teams won't. Thanks for the desk man!
