hi benja

[@AT-gr4qx]

It's crazy to think how important these conversations are to the legacy of siege eSports. Catching people while information is relatively fresh in their minds, and understanding the thoughts of those that make influential decisions is so valuable. The behind the scenes info is also very entertaining. I love this content Mr Supr.

[@highgroundatz]

Fascinating stuff. SSG has been my favorite team since Pro League Season 8 or 9 and Bosco and Rampy might be my all time favorite players. Lycan has been a part of this team/org for as long as I've been following them, it's weird seeing him and the other 2 guys go. I think he's gotten way too much flack for various reasons. You can tell by listening to this that he's a smart guy with a great understanding of how to be a coach in this game. I'm still looking forward to seeing how the new roster performs.

When is the next video being uploaded tanner? I am already up to date with all of your videos & now I have to eat my lunch while looking for videos to watch

[@highgroundatz]

@@fellowbiodegradablehomosap2871 I've sort of been waiting for all the official roster announcements but seems like everyone is waiting until the last moment. Maybe I'll cook up a little something for you.

Bosco, only person to win SI on Console and on PC. Man deserves his flowers.

[@1draigon]

Bosco, Fultz and Rampy were such an amazing combo…

[@Booshie]

22:17 "I needed to get rid of Bryan ASAP" LMAO

[@AdventurewithLynes]

Great conversation. I've been playing and following for many years and it's been great to get to really know Lycan. He's been such a big name, and to have an extended conversation with him was really enlightening and very awesome.

[@thouxanbando]

very insightful and entertaining episode, this show is very nice

[@AintNoWaye]

OH THIS WILL BE GOOD. maybe he can also tell us how in the world fultz stayed on the roster

[@justinnault6744]

Have you found out yet

[@thouxanbando]

kkkk

[@AintNoWaye]

@@justinnault6744 nope

[@jayuchiha_]

Merc is likely to join and thats his bff so it only seems right to keep him around with the new roster 🤷🏾‍♂️

[@AintNoWaye]

@@jayuchiha_ idk if theyd still have their duo power from Oc when its been like 3 years

[@123tyrol]

Good format, great content. Hope you don't stop.

[@Meatful]

Would love to see an interview with one of the ex-SSG players too

[@burreedo_9981]

Idk about anyone else but I like lycan way more after this interview. Great work supr.

[@thestar37]

Jesus the amount of commercial breaks in these clips xD

[@Eroeliassen]

Isnt it the job of the coach to make the team play togheter? More than just if you want to play aggressive or passive. No hate towards lycan but it seems to me that the main job of the coach is to make the team make plays togheter or drop the "troublemakers". And it seems like lycan was the last one to realise the "problems" with rampy

[@SoloSwaff]

Loving all the podcasts Supr

[@LiterallyPolio]

I miss the contemplating handheld explosive guy

[@EveradusBremensis]

Best r6 esports content right now!

[@mikkaz3975]

Not that it matters all that much, but SSG lost 5-7 on 3rd map against G2 at S.I 2019, so not max O.T

[@BigGov74]

Man need more stuff like this so good

[@CarnieHobo]

SSG is such a legacy org I hope everything works out this season but idk if a roster wipe is the right call

[@anonymousanonymity2815]

It absolutely was the only call. This team needed a rebuild badly.

[@1draigon]

Will this be uploaded to podcasting sites? because it’s rather long to keep KZbin just open 😅

[@UnfeelingMonster]

I don believe any of the new episodes are going on podcast sites, it’s exclusively on youtube now

[@pengxin2icy]

He tweeted that is KZbin only

[@fellowbiodegradablehomosap2871]

I didn’t know Troy was that recognized in siege

[@anthonydamato0803]

Top 3 North American player of all time

being as impatient as I am I listened to the podcast varying between 1.25x and 1.5x and it legit makes it sound like they did adderall haha

[@isaacchristopher9965]

Adverts every 3 minutes on a 2 and a half hour video kinda make this unwatchable ngl. Otherwise very interesting content

[@cooperbuss1297]

Two questions. Who is Brian? And I love this content. Where can I find more stuff like this?

[@DelusionalLionsFan]

Brian is Shuttle I believe

[@Mr_Episode]

​​​​@@DelusionalLionsFan he is not shuttle, he was only on the roster for less than a month and never rejoined the team after that. Bryan was on the team twice and was just a really mediocre player.

[@Nicko-NB]

Bryan is how he spelled it and he is just a really mid player that played for SSG and Rogue at one point. Bryan was literally his gamer tag

[@frz_-]

@@Nicko-NB Wasnt he good on Rogue Ominous and Excellence??

[@Nicko-NB]

@MykLz unfortunately he seemed to never be a great player. Pro League was kind of the wild west back in the day. A lot of people in the scene were simply there because they showed up and participated. Not necessarily because they were the best of the best. Over time more and more people showed up and a process of teams changing their rosters to get the best possible players started to occur over time. People that weren't as good would finally get dropped. Bryan was one of them. He did survive a while because he was better than some but around year 3 it became clear that he could no longer hang with the best and he started hopping around teams hoping one would keep him. In the end none kept him long term. Not even trying to be a jerk, but it's the truth. I understand that it is very difficult to be a pro and I'm sure Bryan is so much better than me that I would look like a blind 5 year old child playing against him in a 1v1 or whatever. He'd make me look real bad lol. But at the level he played at he could not compete

[@MagpieR6]

what was wrong with brybry

[@squeeeps]

Any other Lycan haters in the comments? Edit: he explained why I was a hater better than I could even do it

[@badbwoydes]

Not anymore after this video. He's actually alright.

[@cazrep]

This guy waited till he got a few likes to edit it to ask about lycan haters. Smooth move meme lord

[@7aemr]

ssg one trick, as all they've won is a major 3 years ago and nothing else. while tsm has shown to be dominant internationally placing top 3-4 consistently and winning the invite 2022, dreamhack and the na major as well. the wrong team qualified for si 2023. no hate, just the facts.

[@marcosreinoso4184]

Gotta show up when it matters.

[@marleym001]

not really a 1 trick, SSG consistly did well in there region and well internationally won invite 2020 and a na major (which dont really matter though) TSM tend to struggle regionally won that dreamhack right before SSG won invite so not really a good point as to why there better, they may have won invite 2022 but had the hardest fall off of a major winner. if your trying to use facts atleast use them right. and this was from a big TSM fan who was always rooting for them.

[@7aemr]

@@marleym001 doesn't matter when tsm won dreamhack and doesn't matter tsm "fell off", they had two new players join the roster at least learn context. tsm has still won more than ssg not to mention tsm's invite win in 2022 was literally them fighting to qual then going on to win THE ENTIRE THING same thing when tsm won the nal major, they were in the loser's bracket and went on to BEAT EVERY TEAM in the nal to win the final. ssg pales in comparison with what tsm won.

[@7aemr]

@@marcosreinoso4184 true

[@1draigon]

i mean TSM lost to them so LOL Obviously SSG deserved it because… yeah they won and fought for it
