When I started CS back in beta status it was the best thing about the game. Kill your friends, then insult them. Or get killed and insult them anyway. The spirit gets carried on even 20 years later.

this is pure entertainment, I love this environment when teams can trash talk each other so much! Reminds me so much of the good old MDL back in the days :D

[@ondraspendlik9759]

Damn, NIP used to be my favorite team back in the day (early CS:GO). They were all such nice guys, this lineup feels like the complete opposite. Not only they're not hitting the same performance levels, they also seem to be super toxic. Seems like Xizt himself isn't too happy about what his players are doing. I guess he isn't against a bit of trashtalking, but they're overdoing it hard. A Scandinavian, and also the calmest guy from that original lineup, he has to be dying inside hearing all that :D The NIP guys are lucky the coach isn't allowed to speak outside of timeouts! Too bad, I was getting ready to support them again with Xizt joining, but the players seem to be such trash (talkers).

Its just so funny that NiP did the most banter and probably in the most disrespectful way, yet they didnt even qualify for play-offs despite having 3 chances to do so

TAZ and Hooxi trash talking to this degree against a tier 3 team that almost beat them is.. quite embarrassing tbh. I don't mind trash talking between teams on equal playing field, but this situation is just laughable.

@Btwixed all because of Zywoo. At this point, Apex is just riding Zywoo's career LOL

[@setiyoung1611]

Dude every team does a little bit of trash talk. Go back to Kato you got Spirit and Mouz, the Asian and Brazilian teams talk mad shit but its in a different language (Brazilian teams are known to be assholes, from old Luminosity to modern Furia tons of shit talk). NIP and Fnatic to Faze and Vitality today. Its part of the game, obvs.

Imagine being Hooxi, having 2 of the best players in the world, can’t lead your team to trophies and you go and do this

[@schinken800]

True but NiKo is nowhere where he was years ago, you cant consider him one of the best anymore. So its basically M0nesy wich is playing way above his teams level yet they cant play around him to win games

[@Chirag0212]

Banter means??

[@kamilianos]

it's an exchange (usually friendly) of jokes and mild insults between people. The more intelligent and less insulting, the better. If you take it to far, it becomes and insult or being rude. I hope it makes sense. It is common to have workplace banter, sports team banter, pub banter etc. It's not common in every EU culture. It's definitely a thing in UK nations.

[@champizthename8513]

It just means 'friendly beef' it comes in different ways though.

[@fourier27]

Definitely taking a liking to the few teams able to stay most professional, M80, FlyQuest new favorites in that regard. Even some of the older pro’s (Apex/Cadian etc) don’t seem to grasp that they’re role models for an entire community of kids, mimicking their behavior.

[@akosnagy612]

Dont be too soy this is all fun and banter. Dont forget these guys play a video game and make bank doing it

[@fourier27]

@@akosnagy612 Banter is intelligent. Insults are cheap. ESL should change their heading, most of these are brainless shouts of adrenaline. I get it, I just think it’s a disservice to the community, and especially if talking about inclusivity and diversity. I’m assuming the average 14 year old boys aren’t dishing up clever remarks to those girls that dare brave the scene, for instance.

@@sweetdannyandlisa6537 that's true, but I'm not used to see this behaviour on a professional level. I think these top teams and known faces have a privileged position for transmitting good sportsmanship and they often don't.
