[@True0Devil]

I hope you'll never drop the podcast format. I know a lot of people don't like long videos, it might not have the same amount of views as short and fun videos, but this is peak content for me. True fans appreciate what you bros are doing here.

ethan saying that if he doesn't make LAN next year he'd retire really puts into perspective just how seriously pros take the game. they aren't just in it for the bag, they're in it to win and to actually achieve something so it doesn't feel like their time has been wasted pursuing this career

[@topebaldemoro9200]

Ethan said he will igl no matter who they got unless it was Fns. Damn, that's respect.

[@a2shiesty1]

why are they complaining about the shorter year? They have a shorter year because they didn't qual for anything 💀

MORE PLS THIS GROUP OF FOUR IS SO FUNNY TOGETHER

[@xFernz]

Great video. Love that they are taking a deep dive into specific points instead of skipping past difficult questions - taking accountability is refreshing! Can't wait to see what this team can do with a few months of practice as opposed to a few weeks!

[@twaiszy]

extremely nice to just see them sit together and talk i hope they enjoyed it too and will do more

[@frankiefrisbie8854]

so nice to see men’s mental health and therapy getting exposure. Keep it up! ❤

[@saulalarcon1261]

Thank you FNS for such an amazing podcast. Best Valorant Podcast by far. Please win next year Im begging I bought the nrg bundle too.

[@KianoushAlavi]

100T and SEN’s podcast are also very good

[@Zesty_15]

This podcast is exceptional. Real conversations and the AV setup is A+

amazing format and smart use of offseason time! This is a great way to show the personalities on the team and keep fans engaged. BRING THE NRG!

[@satvikkhandagale7797]

I think this is the best valorant podcast no joke

18:27 Sam and Austin looking at each other like "oh shit it be like that huh" 👀👀

[@adithk855]

This felt like a therapy session for the boys..

[@dwtkj]

rlly good format and very entertaining/interesting to hear them talk abt the game. the guys are hilarious (more pls)

[@Vansshh__]

Loved this video, great insight into the team. PLEASE MAKE MOREEE

[@yyar3622]

crashies was hilarious in this podcast LMFAO

[@ZZiquelleTV]

Wow. This episode was quite revealing to the ideology of the team not doing well with change which is the nature of all things, hopefully a coach can come in and develop new ideology for players like Ethan to not just have the idea that “esports is esports” but actually be pro-active when change happens.

[@bennyg2086]

They spoke about it in the vid but having carry over records was so wild. The fact that some of the teams who didnt make the major have to start the next split with pretty much no chance of qualifying for champs and have to play the split out knowing its practically for nothing is crazy 😂. Whos idea was that fr

[@greatmesia]

Love the camera that is honed in to both crashies and som. You guys should use it more instead of the other camera that shows all four these guys. The color pops a little more unlike the other you use. The color is completely off

[@jmeistur2879]

I agree about the format it sucks, you play so little, and 3-4 matches if a team does bad your season is pretty much over, or a player gets dropped. Its very stressful for a new player to adjust themselves in such a short time, Not enough time is given. You got to be 100% in form the moment you join.

[@guwopzy]

would love more of this long form, chill, content easy for yall too, little setup, with high roi, make some short clips post on yt, tiktok, reels ez

[@makotoniijima9211]

W podcast, love this, hyped for next eps, maybe bring in max

[@sareatonin]

love this, can’t wait for the next ep.

[@IzanagiSMT]

This was so good guys, keep it up!

[@Just_Goggles]

Ethan admitting to being a food wars fan is crazy. Him saying its his favorite is actually wild!

[@quinn7467]

I thought Ethan didnt want to talk about his fav anime cuz of the reputation with anime fans and he didnt wanna seem weird And then bro pulled out Food Wars 💀

[@bishwomagar264]

Great podcast Bring it back

[@tvaddict6491]

Very refreshing. You guys weren't bad last year. Just ran into BLG, that's all. I wish you luck for 2025. I might not agree with some of the decisions, but I do respect the hell out of NRG. You all have accolades under your belt and it's due to talent. All the best guys! Take a reasonable amount of break and then back to the grind.

[@MeepGamingYoutube]

"Ran into BLG" is crazy.

[@r4jivaim]

Hope crashies sticks with the roster, he had a rough season but I’m sure he’ll return back to usual form

[@luvdie]

they were all spitting about how the vct schedule is terrible. It's wild that there's such a long break, and that they split the teams Into groups and splits. riot need to get their shit together

[@cigarafterkiss]

they’re not my favorite team but these guys r fun to watch

[@abhineelbajoria5238]

39:00 FNS Predicted kru vs 100T win, spam battle through smokes. The flood retake with kj ult ,100t leave site and had to play rng smoke battle which they lost…

[@kindredspiritgg]

This format is also a big reason how KRU got into champs instead of 100T. The fact that KRU went on a 6 series loss streak and still made champs is crazy to me.

[@Zvilll]

Love the podcast, yall keeping it real. I respect that.

[@bluegaming5395]

G2 have shown how strong a team they are this season, getting beaten with a relatively fresh team versus the probable future americas champs is a rough one for NRG to have to beat

[@123rtXd]

riot should encourage and give prize pool money to off/season events and hopefully NRG will be there

[@reve_x44]

Invite NRG to red bull alongside Sentinels 🫡

[@magmoz565]

Hopefully the format will be better next year, it should start in January instead of February and I guess now for tier 1 it’ll be jan - end of august. Not ideal but 4 month break isn’t the worst if they start supporting more off season tournaments

[@thenightjackal]

FNS without the webcam mic is actually just a different person entirely.
