Хайлайты для тех, кто не может в английский (Quick recap in russian): 1) Янгстерс собирались не как "академка" а как параллельный состав, и подход был изначально серьёзным. 2) Хоббит сперва планировался как капитан, по после опять переключились на нафаню. 3) Грув и Фин - главные "архитекторы" успеха команды, хорошего примера в капитанстве у нафани до этого не было. 4) Пацаны не выгорают потому, что хотят установить свою эру (ну и молодые ещё). Также нафаня слегка попенял европейцам за нежелание работать. 5) Хоббит сильно забустил мораль команды и уверенность в своих силах. 6) Лучший момент в жизни - Катовице. Худший - поражение от Форзе на квалах к Флешпойнту. 7) Нафаня любит играть против Героик из-за их высокого уровня подготовки - как челлендж. 8) Играть против СНГ команд он любит в финалах и полуфиналах, но не любит в груп-стейдже, потому что приходится отправлять домой своих. 9) По поводу ЛАНов не волнуется в целом. А ещё Гамбиты не могут определиться с тех-спонсорами, потому что всем нравятся разные марки гарнитур. 10) Высоко оценивает потенциал Спиритов, Форзов и Энтропик. Хвалит ВП и Екиндара в частности. 11) Объяснил, почему Хоббит хотел отдать МВП Широ - Широ практически штатный психолог команды, всегда спрашивает кого что беспокоит и поддерживает. 12) Широ и Хоббит иногда серьёзно помогают с коллами (до 50/50). 13) Интерз - один из лучших саппортов, его уровень ошибок в плане игры - почти нулевой. 14) Пацаны почти всегда на буткемпе, кроме Хоббита, а ещё у них свой шеф-повар. 15) Хвалит Бумыча как капитана. 16) Мажор в Стокгольме может не состояться. А может и состояться, никто не знает. 17) Воксик собирает супер-команду турков, непонятно, кто капитан и кто на мэйн авике. 18) Дэпс - новый тренер ЕГ, у Мауз - новая академи-тим. Ничего особенного. 19) Нафаня считает, что команды из верхней сетки должны иметь легкое преимущество по пикам карт, но при этом финалы нельзя проводить в один день с полуфиналами. 20) Нафаня считает Г2 реально хорошей командой, но при этом у них серьёзные проблемы в коммуникации. 21) Новые НИПы - крутые, Хампус - крутой, постоянно убивает нафаню на праках. Но НИПам нужно время чтобы сыграться. 22) Акума - скорее всего читеры, но из-за лучших условий РМР-а это уже не важно. К23 и 100ПГ вряд ли выйдут из группы. 23) ВП сейчас на буткемпе, Екиндар наконец-то приехал в Россию. 24) Совет начинающим капитанам - смотреть как можно больше демок топ-команд и во всех действиях искать логику. 25) Ребята с ХЛТВ поздравляют нафаню с крутым интервью и вместе со зрителями респектуют за всё. 26) Нафаня просит не кибербуллить Интерза, Гардиана и вообще игроков в целом, особенно когда они играют не на стату, а на команду. 27) Настроение на стриме - "дари добро", "гуд вайбс" и так далее. На этом в принципе всё.

[@aleksandarmilcic5780]

Nafany cool dude

[@Keyc94]

I think it's normal that a guy like S1mple or zywho has many fans and haters. It is the burden to play on the top. But players like Tizian Sanji or Interz gets hate because they don't play for stats. They have a lot of other things to do than to make 20 kills per map. Even after Yekindar said Sanji is the most important player in the team. Even after AleksiB said Tizian is the hardest guy in BIG to face because of his utility use. And even after Nafany said Interz plays "perfect" people will still hate them and call them first out, when the team doesn't win. For a Tizian I can say you will not find a better german player for his position, that is a straight fact. So why hate??

[@thebigsam]

because it's a MM mentality. If you are losing, you have to blame someone for this. And the first person who comes to mind is the guy who is bottom-fragging. When in reality you are all getting fucked.

[@yashjobanputra3832]

Hampus said most annoying guy on G2 is Amanek

[@maba5202]

I dont know why so many people always hating. Tizian is a defensive lurker thats goes for clutch plays. Sanji is the mp guy in vp plus he is also passive player. If you have a yekindar in your team you need to have a player like sanji or tizian as well.

[@worm9862]

Yeah it's normal, but it shouldn't be normal to absolutely violently hate a player because he for example got top 1 HLTV, either because he is the really good and you hate him for destroying the teams you bet on, or because you consider another player as the best and had some dude decided on rating him top 1 which you shouldn't care about. That was the big thing that was causing hate in the early half of the year. The idiots who blame supports or target them when they lost have existed forever and I would fucking bet money that a lot of the people who are in these comments going "wow how true nafany the hate is bad" were the exact types that WERE DOING IT. Just keep that in mind next time you go on the CSGO subreddit, cunts.

[@KB-oj8mb]

Hating on players like interz and calling support players/ B players bots for having a low ADR/KD is basically confirming your own ignorance and idiocy. Most likely 99% of these haters are hardstuck 1k elo with 2000 games played. A lot of respect for interz for fulfilling that role and I’m not sure Gambit would be a top team without him.

1:10:53 Prof, I guess, was trying to make nafany speak about Entropiq from player point of view, but his whole question was wrong: 1. Talking about change in roster for the team that made huge progress since the beginning of the year is stupid 2. If you watch Entropiq games, you would know team doesn't rely on El1an. He is a star player, but only because he is an awper 3. The second star player is not obvious only because the entire roster of Entropiq consists of star players. El1an and Lack1 were star players of WS, Forester and Krad were star players of Hard Legion and Nickel was second star player of EPG before WS happened. They all are perfectly capable of dominating on the server. And if you look at all matches of the team, you would find exactly that: there are maps and matches where either one of them will go beast mode and will drop 30/60 bombs. They are very good. And as Nafany said, the only thing they need is time and also more experience against top-10 teams.

What does nafany’s name mean? Any meaning/origin behind it?

[@saessence1]

Most likely it is based on Nafanya - a character from a fairly popular soviet cartoon "Домовёнок Кузя" about a domovoy (a household deity that pagans used to beleive in). The cartoon itself had a main protagonist - Kuzya, who is young and doesn't know much, and Nafanya - his old and wise friend, kind and ready to help, but somewhat shy. Also Nafanya is a slavic version of a biblical name Nathaniel, which means "God's gift". So I guess that fits nafany just all right.
