gla1ve discusses Magisk as IGL, Xyp9x's return, and PR training criticism | HLTV Confirmed S5E11

[@Diavolo222]

Glaive was way more open and opinionated than device. Good podcast.

[@mihirx27]

Glaive's been relatively free-spirited, considering his trollsome interaction with Twitter, and general demeanor in content.

Okay, I am not saying this whole conversation was a 200 iq PR movement but it was pretty frustrating when prof and/or striker asked an important question again to clarify or to get a bit more information and glaive just responded with the same answer, he could have said "I cant/dont want to talk much about it", also him responding "you said that not me" to a joke or a troll comment was annoying imo

[@deepankar853]

Kick spunj that guy is narcissist, he just can't accept the truth and always crying and focus on negative.

[@jonaschristensen4372]

Considering Gla1ve being stuck with the 3 of you "journalists" for 2,5 hours, of course there will be some PR stuff, but generally I believe he was very genuine about most of the topics and questions served to him. Thanks for a great show once again, I personally appreciate this angle you guys provide, on everything around the scene. I get a lot from this. Striker and Prof, you guys should shorten the leash on SpunJ when he starts ranting too much, or when his brains gets stuck in a spinaround ;) Ya'll doing great - thanks!

I wonder if aleksib would be a good fit for the podcast, i think he is quite opinionated and articulate, but probably get him after og finish somewhere significant in another tournament so that spunj can admit he was wrong, i'd love that

True Astralis do a lot of practice runs like that When dev1ce picked up the pri awp role in astralis, dupreeh was also tried as the pri awper for one tournament(3 or 4 years back idk exactly when) but that tournament didn't go really well, so dev1ce continued to be the pri awper.

@@gordonramsdale obviously it wasn’t anywhere close to astralis as they are the best team of all time but at the same time, most of NA’s players are young inexperienced aim gods as u said. with time they learn how to play as a team. the majority of eu pros have been playing way longer than the na players. also grim is performing well currently and it’s hard for stew to perform well when he igl ing and i think he’s still the hard entry.if liquid ain’t gonna win a major anytime soon then i sure think eg will. they’re mechanical skill is off the charts as well with a brilliant captain in stanislaw.

Astralis doing big brain with duo-igl setup that works. Glaive admitted Magisk leads on some maps and him on other. Not to mention they can support each other + call together.

As always, really good insights into how the players handle themselves and what their perspective is on the scene. I admit I am an Astralis fanboy, but still I have to say, really good interview of Glaive, he is really cool and looks like the break did something good for him that others could learn from.

Sooo the stuff about 7 man roster and how they want es3tag and Bubzikj work was a bunch of lies.

Crazy to even think about which option is worse. Absolutely gutted.

[@atfb19007]

Are you talking about Es3tag leaving because if you are he couldnt have told them that es3tag was leaving since it still was a secret but a six man roster is going to function similar to a seven man roster.

[@james6792-m1w]

The players in the team don’t have control over the roster moves. I suspect it’s all down to astralis.

I don't think that anyone who knows the setup behind Astralis organization can undermine the value of the folks behind the scene.
