RL is an absolute treasure in the esports industry. I'm really looking forward to what's next Rich. Great interview.

I'm so hyped for those documentaries. You gotta love Richard, I'm proud to support him and be part of his community

[@Rabbitzor4]

Amazing interview. I've watched hundreds of hours of Richard and Thorin over the years and you guys still manage to hit some new points/ideas to think about. Thanks

[@CatnamedMittens]

I'd buy the RLS book instantly

[@nartouthere]

you guys are the best duo. keep up the great work

[@horst29]

Esports without you two is so vanilla.

[@Thugslife50]

Much love to both of ya, 2 incredible people who've influenced the lives of hundreds if not thousands in a positive way. Stick true to yourself and keep going, I'd say. But that's a lesson both of you teached me.

[@TheOlaMG]

I dont follow e-sports. But i have followed richard lewis and thorin for years, youre doing amazing work, keep it going💪🎉🎉🎉

[@MrVolt16]

This got really somber and depressing towards the end. Really kept me thinking.

[@Niccokai]

The day Richard Lewis leaves Esports will be one of the saddest days, he's done phenomenal work whether its been on desks, writing articles, breaking stories, he's been such an integral part of esports ,of course it'll be interesting to see what he steps into next but to watch him leave Esports will be sad. Excited to see that book will pick it up right when its available!

[@itswolfeeeee]

Unfortunately, that time has come. He'll be missed in esports 😕

[@whatgoglikeno6120]

something is missing in the simple intro but i cant put my finger on it

[@NoradNoxtus]

He went pg

Who was the grifter person mentioned at the WSOE section?

[@Smurfejonas2]

I never watch the analytics or desk segments anymore. Richard is on point as usual with what its missing.

[@WalknTalknStevnHawkn]

tried watching the desk for BLAST a few times... 3 wet cardboard personalities.

[@swayzecsgo5530]

For Richard statement at the end that he'll always just throw his stream on over a coffee or a beer is his absolute high point. Richard is at his best just chillen and talking shit, just Richard being Richard. His streams where he plays Democracy are some of my favorites!

[@Biblionaut]

57:40 i cant wait for that book. 1:09:00 you bet your ass.

[@ptg_st3v3oh62]

Oh god I hope he records an audio version of that when it comes

[@14_IQ.points]

This part 2 was really good. The feels.

[@OriginalRaveParty]

What a class pair of interviews

[@Torsav]

This is an amazing conversation between you guys. I haven't watched/played CSGO for roughly 5 years, so this was almost like a time machine and catch up on all the rubbish I missed out on. Always looked forward to you guys behind the desk. Godspeed boys.

[@bjenks278]

It’s so sad to see how people treat Richard. I’ve never seen a person who gives more to everyone else and will always help others over his own personal gain. This is someone I will always make the time of day for. I’ll support you to the end, both thorin and rich, even though I hope it never comes.

[@jiminkook4445]

It's fascinating to see, How thorin's personality comes out in its purest form whenever he interacts with Richard Lewis, That's something I haven't noticed from interactions thorin had with other people, It's almost like they are two spiritual brothers that somehow ended up meeting each other in this material world.

[@dusanbiga4948]

They are close friends and have known each other for years how is that even remotely surprising?

[@mihirx27]

Mate, you're fantasizing a meeting between friends.

@@jiminkook4445 Wow Mate, you've blown my fuckin' mind! I was actually quite impressed with this writing mate. You should consider writing short stories or novellas. They might even sell.

[@Mizzraim]

Long time viewer of both of you and especially BTN. Just wanted to thank you both again, you've been helping me through my work days for many years.

[@pkhei1]

It's really nice to hear that Richard is doing better because of his community, great ending, and a great talk!

[@mnnervi]

I've been following you both for so long however I dont recall listening to something this sad and depressing. Hope you can find it in you t keep going!

[@trnqulizr1289]

i agree with your points at the start about desks. a lot of time i treat it as if no one is on the screen, they need to be more content clip and entertainment focused like richard lewis was saying

[@KeenJT]

Near the end of this interview really hit home for me. I recently took a job after working for myself for around 2 years. I rejected a few jobs prior because I was worried what people would think about working for someone else after having my own company. After taking the job I have noticed a lot of my anxiety has gone and I am more happier. Do things for yourself, not for other people...good chances are they don't really care for more than a few seconds..if that.

[@TheMustangs05]

I saw eleague when I was in high school and was inspired to build a pc and play cs

Great interview, cya at the major!

any smart tournament organizer would hire top tier security to have you 2 there, I really hope to see you 2 pair up on an event soon.

[@lgzn]

Thanks a lot for this video. As someone who has been following CS for 20 years, watching CSGO live has never been more bland. I get that the online era due to covid is a big argument on saturation but casting and desks are saturated with the same type of mannerisms, jokes and even lexicon. The only way for me nowadays to watch EPL are the match highlight compilations on KZbin - sometimes muted. You both are very missed.

what happened with the fgc was so tragic...the same figureheads dictate that scene and you can see the regression

[@leavus]

good video! nice ending

[@HaasTheFirst]

Rich is goated, the documentaries are gonna be sick!

[@ethanevenson3855]

In terms of the stages, I feel like eLeague was par for the course. The presentation of a lot of big tournaments has been pretty well set for CS for some time, but the way that players were treated behind the scenes was a really big deal. eLeague definitely helped to alleviate the scum TO stuff that was pervasive at the time. It’s a shame that Richard got a taste of the American TV outrage in that way. In other continents, that kind of thing isn’t that common in other countries, but the “call the network, kill the host” stuff is super common in the states. I have a feeling that having to pass this stuff up and make others do the drills was more what got to Rich than the threats and stuff themselves. I remember pre-eLeague there were some incidents, but it seems like the compounding factor was the big tipping point.

[@CatnamedMittens]

How come Richard doesn't have a patreon?

[@cperka1017]

Probably too embarrassed to do something that would amount to e-begging, with how inconsistent he is with his content

[@hansgerber8654]

@@cperka1017 no need to speculate if you actually watched at least a handfull of his videos before making rather dumb assumptions.

[@coryjohnson9728]

How can a person threatening murder or violence over a rumor possibly believe that they are the good guy. I know it's 2021, but I still think murder is worse than being a supposed racist.

[@jihadalott992]

The same people who justify that its okay to "punch a nazi". The problem lies with what your definition of words actually is. Change the definition of a word and all of a sudden you can do heinous things to people and think/justify yourself as a hero. This idea of self identity politics where everyone is a victim is just leading people to think they are trapped in a corner and when someone is/feels trapped, they will do radical things to correct/fix it.

[@coryjohnson9728]

@@jihadalott992 In a world where making someone uncomfortable can be punishable by death, imagine the severity of the punishment that would be justifiable for killing someone's friends or family. By making their own actions acceptable under an artificial morality, they've doomed themselves to a far worse existence, assuming we can apply the same morals to their actions after the fact. The obvious fact being that someone who is willing to commit murder would have far worse skeletons in their closet than someone who at worst might be racist. A person of even normal intelligence would realize that cultivating a culture of forgiveness is the only way for person who justifies murder to have any hope of a halfway decent life. If a person actually believes killing a supposed racist would have them seen as a hero, then burning murderers alive might get a trophy and a parade. There is no logic to what these people think.

[@itsmonsta8614]

so sad s1mple didn't call me a fucking bitch in this intro :(

[@migmig42]

Long time listener, first call caller (i miss trash talk ;) ) good show and RL i will just say thanks for forcing me to watch CS when trash talk stop being about SC, it turns out to be fun. But one thing there always have annoyed me about RL are: Stop selling yourself short, you are one of the best host (if not the best), not only in CS but on tv in general, (but CS esport have have raised the bar for filler so high i cant watch stuff like election night, they are so bad at filling). And every tine you talk about it like you are just a placeholder until some good comes around i all way want to shake you and scream "YOU ARE THE GOOD ONE") (like a kid in a tv show and not in real life) /end i am high and one with the world rant, Tl;Dr thanks for the content to both of you and stay real.

[@razhmazh]

I wish I could win the lottery. I would sponsor Richard with his documentaries and book. No strings attached.

[@SeigiroSpica]

Do I have to watch another movie mid interview, thorin? Let me know now Ps: it was a great movie, it was worth it to paused

[@Huntoo712]

It'll be a sad and dark day when Thorin and Richard leave the scene.

[@smbaqirz]

Thank you Richard for this interview. Hearing your struggles is helping me to reflect on and marginalise the significance of my own problems in life. You have been an absolute treasure to the CS:GO scene and when you leave it I will continue to follow your content, be it the petty grievances, laughing at silly news stories, calling out the media or helping people you can from your position. I look forward to reading your book greatly. I wish you health and happiness for many years to come

Fuck man all that Richard is saying makes it sound like he’s just going to write his book and do all the other things and then just end it. I know Richards been to these dark places before and I just hope I’m reading too much into it and that he will just go on a vacation and do stuff outside of esports away from the assholes of the industry.

I barely watch CS anymore. Dry, same and boring. I mean after you've seen the crazy flicks, the insane strats and the cool execs the only difference is the desk and casters, and they're all either tryhard clowns or clone troopers.
