30:00 have you ever beefed with each other or blocked each other?
37:40 how would you rate cs2 transition from 1-10
47:22 what CSGO lineup was the biggest what-if in your opinion?
56:10 current mouse, and mousepad combo? And how important is mouse choice really at a top level of cs? Any stories of pros with weird mouse and pad choices?
1:08:00 Is grassroots programs in high schools a good shout for building the next generatrion [of gaming/esports]?

[@atahannd.9937]

Goblin king is a great discord role name maybe for admins or something

[@jonofrombc]

47:22 The Astralis lineup after Kjaerbye with Magisk but with Karrigan instead of glaive

[@OnurOzalp-personal]

im super jacked about that as well

[@dayne6475]

Who makes the pictures for all the episodes

[@W4LT3Rego]

I wonder too, the art is always very cool

[@sn1pe34]

Great show and good picture goodness gracious what a banger

[@nartouthere]

move over creamy moses, we got goblin king moses now 😉

[@TalkingCounter]

Don't. You. Dare.

[@avaNNNt]

no way kassad went for CerQ as awper

[@tech4172]

Wouldn't doubt it he always had a hard on for him saying he could be the best awper 😂

[@air_lyubomir5301]

I love it

[@Jay-ll2qe]

I think it's poizon, especially after what ynk said at 28:20

[@Jorppuli]

Why not smooya also?

[@TYLERLOVESBMX1]

He did

[@m1LKbagzz]

Bro just announced ChrisJ

[@NicholasEllis-pe2lk]

Nice graphic good points very subtle but fair.

[@W4LT3Rego]

My biggest what if was the device-rez-hampus-brollan-esetag roster (even though brollan was never on that roster, but if NiP could have kept the roster then brollan was just bound to transfer)

[@Manuwu]

All hail The Goblin King.

[@XxBOYSRBACK2xX]

Shoutout

[@NicholasEllis-pe2lk]

Had to watch a second time 1:50:00 Kassad is Goated This was a fking amazing episode by Spunj and Moses are great and McDonald’s runs shit shhh

[@jamieeddolls5605]

So who do we think is the Bleed awper? Seems like it's someone controversial. Maybe REZ because of Hampus or Smooya? Could also be someone old like Guardian Or Allu.

[@air_lyubomir5301]

It's cerq

[@tech4172]

None are good that u mentioned but I guess that doesn't matter

[@kyo8808]

cerq most likely. Prof basically leaked it on the latest hltv podcast. ( could also be poizon)

[@Jay-ll2qe]

I think it’s poizon after what ynk said at 28:20. Remember that the main reason why col benched poizon was because his work ethics were terrible. Also throughout this year, he has been on twitter complaining about how a org hasn’t signed him yet.

[@air_lyubomir5301]

@@Jay-ll2qe ynk always spoke well of poizon though. And in the past he has commented several times that he doesn't understand what kassad sees in cerq

[@aleksandartomasevic8458]

Brollan hampus jks cerq VLDN

[@STOREpappa]

38:30 I've played CS on and off all of my life, but this transition has been so horrible, namely because of the rampant cheaters. Why the fuck should I waste my time when about 25% of the people you either face or get teamed up with ruin the whole session. I'd just play a way more rewarding game, luckily there are loads of fun good games these days to sink hours into.

[@rx.ar1414]

NAF 🦥

[@Jay-ll2qe]

28:20 Sounds like something poizon would do especially since his work ethics are terrible

[@kujiisz]

discord link broken

[@SuperKurvaszad]

Just wanted to let you know, that I'm still disappointed about the fact that you forgot about the AMA announced early this year with e-mail questions.
