@@nuginormandia4439 They're VP back then but when Russia invaded Ukraine the players are forced to abandon Virtus pro since it was a Russian organization same with Gambit Esports, they were sanctioned. So jame and his team formed "Outsiders" and put the logo of the polar bear so they can be known as ex-VP. Now the Virtus pro changes its ownership and moves to Armenia. The VK group who owns the VP sold it for roughly $3 million. Well it's a good idea since Virtus pro is a household name in CSGO.

[@jesusismylordandsavior3537]

Dude Aleksib is long gone since leaving ence. His style of gameplan is not catching up to the meta. He's good but anti strats won't work no more and he's still doing that. I don't know what he thinks but he's young and has a lot of room to improve especially if s1mple starts beefing with him if they come out dissapointed.

[@zjeee]

I like G2 but I’d put their success down to Niko being on top form. Hooxi is alright as an IGL but I think you could probably put any top tier IGL there and they would pull out a win as long as Niko keeps playing like this.

[@jesusismylordandsavior3537]

@@zjeee HooXi really helps a lot since NiKo has a pride against bad IGL. He is not good nor bad but he's improving a lot since we can see him fragging now that I bet NiKo told him to do. I don't have faith in HooXi though since he kinda choke a lot but his mind in terms of improving, improvising and helping his teammates through positive energy is what makes him a good leader for G2. You can see that he cheers his team even when losing and that was the leader supposed to do so (you can't see that on Aleksib btw). I hope this team wins CS2 Major though since NiKo TRULY deserves that.

[@matiasaraya5451]

@@jesusismylordandsavior3537 You could see Niko stressing but keeping his calm, he was on point in vertigo, same as hunter. But as you said, without Hooxi cheering them up I don't think they would have had the mental fortitude to pull the reverse sweep in vertigo.
