Counter-Strike's most difficult role - Coach Roundtable

[@thomashelbas2929]

B1ad3 talking about CS for entire hour? Im watching that. He could charge 100$ for that hour and it would be justified

[@cryisfree510]

i’ve always wanted to hear B1ad3 talk about CS in a podcast so this definitely scratches the itch

[@Parkmegan2000]

💯

[@fakieCS]

Theres a 2 hour long interview on hltv's KZbin from a couple of months. Might want to check that out after this on

[@Neuronecia]

100$/hr blade's podcast >> s0mple course (real)

[@Yorick1989]

I really feel like B1ad3 did get the best out of every player he worked with. The synergy between him and Aleksib is also very good I feel... I think that Aleksib could become a next B1ad3 as a coach; tactical and work ethics wise.

[@dracvich]

B1ad3 is the Mourinho of CS for me Absolute class in both their personalities and tactics, always a joy to hear them talk

[@AstroSully]

B1ad3 = Mourinho Zonic = Pep

[@max13494]

[@AstroSully]

@@LeoVS44I mean Astralis themselves haven’t been great. Every Astralis players attribute their success to all 6 individuals. It was everyone’s cumulative effort that made them the greatest.

I think both @max13494 and @AstroSully are right, I just idolized him too much.

[@yurirv4184]

Young dudes, NEO in 1.6 was like s1mple in CSGO, this guy was the GOAT of 1.6 with f0rest. He was a BEAST.

[@xlgapelsin6173]

NEO and F0rest in 1.6= S1mple and Zywoo in csgo

[@zizzyballuba4373]

he's a bad coach

[@CBUCK1994]

check hltv 1.6 stats

[@darkkislich]

As a f0rest fanboy back in the day, NEO was formidable and his team MYM/VP was so strong so resilient, I was scared for f0rest/SK,fnatic's chance of winning. In 1.6, NEO is truly the goat, yeah his stature is like s1mple in CSGO, and f0rest would be like Niko but even more successful (Not that Niko is not successful, but f0rest got more).

[@yurirv4184]

@@darkkislich yeah, neo was an all-around player, sick movements like s1mple, f0rest was Sharp aim like Niko, f0rest is the og king of aim

[@Jop3lius]

NEO is really humble, dude was insane in 1.6 and still recognizes it as a team effort. To a certain extent that is true, if team mates give good info you have better awereness of situations but they can't lift you to the individual skill level that NEO was playing during the time.

[@AstroSully]

Facts 😂 Bro said “he was a player” like he wasn’t the 1.6 GOAT

[@homerp.hendelbergenheinzel6649]

i feel like neo is still in a rather steep lerning process when it comes to coaching. i watched him closely during the interview and i think im sure that he took this talk at the roundtable as a chance to absolutely study what is said and learn a lot.

[@xlgapelsin6173]

@@AstroSully Neo and Forest both are like this "Yeah i was a good player in 1.6 but just a player at the end of the day" While both of them were fighting eachother for the title of 1.6 GOAT

[@yesterdaystech86]

the VP team effort was Neo wears a backpack and others climb aboard for the ride.

[@jedenzet]

@@yesterdaystech86 not true at all. Neo was a star, top of the line but he was able to shine because of the team - he admits that since their first major win. You wouldn't be able to recreate their success if you'd have 5 Neo-like players. LUq was an amazing, aggressive AWPer, Loord and Kuben were always tactics/support players with utility, baiting, distracting and Taz was great overall. They allowed Neo to be this entry/lurker/clutcher. Every single one of Golden Five players were great on their own but together they created a perfect team that filled all the roles needed at the time.

[@Yara-d9v6b]

I love how NEO is always smiley and there to learn from B1ad3 and sycrone 😊

B1ad3 is actually funny asf. i always see this guy as a serious, no shit taken, strict guy but he has a good personality. and the fact that he only posts when he wins t1 tourneys on his ig. wishing he wins more now

[@tylerfedeli2004]

it's like the funniest facebook boomer type of thing but genuinely funny

[@grig517]

I love the story of it more. S1mple was always trying to convince B1ad3 to have insta but for a long time refusing thinking that having insta is pointless. And S1mple suggested to post only trophies cos' its funny and B1ad3 found it funny too

What an amazing conversation. Each of these coaches being so different across tenor, style, background, and team situation added so much depth to what was being discussed.

[@bobbyross7700]

Idk why I like Neo so much. Just seems like an awesome guy to be around. All 3 of them really

[@TtavisMartin]

Im more excited for this than the igl's. Mainly because im old and its interesting to see how these coaches had to adapt through the decades of cs meta change/game change.

[@superoberjarl]

Neo: 😀😁 Sycrone: 😀👍 B1ad3: 🗿🗿

[@goodguyhello]

So that’s what B1ad3 sounds like lol. Idk why I’ve never heard his voice til now.

[@funserious2632]

he used to do alot of after or pre-game interviews , now they seem to ignore the coaches in that regard

[@a.d2019]

For me it were the other 2 lol. B1ad3 is the one I’ve heard speak the most in interviews etc of all coaches. Just 2 days ago I think banks spoke to him.

i love hearing neo talk

[@br3ak_]

I was really looking forward to Blade talking but as almost always he doesn't really say anything. I am not sure if it's because he's not super confortable with English or he just wants to keep everything to himself and does not want to leak anything, but yeah I don't know. Listen to him when he says anything, then pause when he's finished and try to make a summary, mission impossible.

[@Hellhammerrr]

i legit thought i was the only one! like, the guy is very smart for sure but i think a lot of times his talking lacks focus and is all over the place.

[@kekW-m7h]
