I loved Hazed huge Val TSM fan back with the god squad, cutler hazed wardell subroza and drone I miss the boys

[@GregoMyEggoLive]

Love these long interviews, This one really hit for me and is just spot on with what I've been experiencing and reflecting on as an IGL & coach who recently retired (for now). Great stuff guys, more of this please.

[@xDamaging]

Loved hazed. Listening to his experience is so inspirational

[@kalhuaNG]

this is gonna be great to listen to! always been a huge fan of hazed

[@SaiWind]

I didnt knew of him at all. This was a great episode, I hope he comes back in the future

[@ddkesports]

We'll make it happen!

[@cybermoose17]

@59:00 it's like the same phenomenon as the hookah and u-haul mis comm's that people do all the time on bind! I did the same thing on fracture mixing up the sites' names and I wasn't a CS player.

[@gamist8166]

Just got into this. For VR esports, I first saw that "Echo VR" Game I think it's called. Out of like 5-10 games I first played with Oculus till I got burnt out eventually, that was the closest thing to a VR esport I saw. I'm not sure it will or did bring outside viewers in, though. Felt like a competitive game tho! Comms can be useful, a bunch of other stuff

[@adrianangg_]

it would be pretty crazy if the old TSM boys got back tgt

[@bixcs2]

stormlight archive ftw

[@rowancclark417]

Yes right eye peak is still in cs and yes it’s still strong :(

[@seren3797]

If Hazed wants an idea for a game I have a concept for a tac shooter lol

[@freyalanf]

Hey Daniel! I have a question what time would you say is ideal to aim train or can you do it at any time of the day?

[@ddkesports]

Any time of day is okay. I'd just be mindful, if you're doing it later in the day, that you have enough energy/focus to make sure your technique looks good. If your energy is low and it feels too challenging from a focus point of view, it might be better to skip.

[@freyalanf]

@@ddkesports thank you!! :D

[@Terrell206]

Ive heard before sleeping is really good

[@ME-yl7tf]

I adore hazeds awful cam. There is something quaint about it. It feels like I am back in 2014 watch a stream.

[@ddkesports]

I'm glad you enjoy it haha. I zoom the cams in a bit for framing purposes. The contrast between a dslr with decent lighting is big lol

[@user-qs5my7dq9l]

Get a family bro ur so old
