15:00 i get elige didnt get many playoffs but hes #5 in rating against top 10 teams. hes statistically in the top 10 in 20 fucking categories. i just hope he keeps his insane form on faze, wins some trophies, and his ranking for next year is more indicative of his level.

[@thereportoftheweek787]

Yeah unfortunately elige is going to have to make his top 10 status undeniable for these haters at HLTV.

[@PlankDot]

@@thereportoftheweek787 They aren't haters. They're a reputable pillar in the Counter-Strike community. They cannot make assumptions nor can they compromise their own criteria. They are consistent and have very clear things they look for when they rank players. Elige sadly did not have enough playoff data for them to rate him highly without breaking their own ranking system. The fact he made the list without getting playoff results is a testament to how good he was this year.

[@aa4a-a4]

​@PlankDot EliGE and XANTARES being ranked outside of the top 10 represents a colossal failure of their criteria then

[@CaliM3-S65]

@@PlankDot hes a top 10 player tho. This is top 20 PLAYERS not top20 TEAMS FFS. He shoulda been like #12 at least. They are absolutely biased against na

Elige to Faze is absolutely hype, and HeavyGod to G2 is going to potentially be absolutely nutty, also rip Falcons.. again

[@gonzalocanas8335]

yeah same with Snappi outside Falcons, make my day when he get kicked...well Ropz to Vitality for free is a bomb too, Faze did it again like with Twistzz...

[@ziemniak0killl251]

falcons could actually be a really good team maybe even top 5 if they get the heroic trio, then the roster will be degster, teses, kyxan, niko, magisk and it will definitely be a ticking bomb, definitely a title contender if other top teams are not in form or even in form

[@BurgerBurgerBurger]

HeavyGod is ass, he will flop out

[@manmadegodx]

Perhaps Niko can buy a major trophy of someone with the Falcons money, the closest he'll ever get to winning one.

[@hans4379]

The roster isn't that bad. Realistically it's heroic with 2 upgraded players. #8 ranked team before. They could do good things. Falcons just known for fumbling

[@vishalprksh]

Falcon is still a new org figuring things out, keep the yapping to a min.

[@minibeech03]

im with prof on the blast invites. Falcons absolutely shouldnt have had an invite. My guess is Falcons cut a deal with them. But then if they also get the heroic core, what happens with Heroic that got invited based on the now falcons core. Now heroic is nothing but sjuush.

[@Flashv28]

With heroic core its fair imo

[@hans4379]

Falcons will bring in viewers. Lots of attention latley hate watching and fans alike

[@josephbagert7501]

Biggest winner is Elige himself. Complexity is my favorite team but i gotta be realistic. They can’t afford to help Elige. Also just happy he’s going to faze (my second favorite team).

Happy new year to u 2 random HLTV Confirmed listener🎉

[@turkeyman631]

I agree with Prof. Hate when teams pick up a player who was hot the year prior, put him into all new positions and then has a shocked face when they dont perform like they did on their previous team. If you're going to get Elige, put him in his preferred role. Unless you are willing to see a drop off in his form and think it will still work for the team.

[@ckvt1337]

yeah but I feel like everyone in faze has enough experience and skill to make this work

[@JackShaneDyas]

@@ckvt1337 I think elige goes to faze and karrigan builds the system around him. Faze need to reinvent themselves anyway. So seems like a good plan. I think u can trust that elige will perform if given the opportunity

[@smoothbrain_cs]

Happy New Years :) working new years eve and needed something to keep me sane rn thanks fellas 🎆✨

[@tobiaswollmann6859]

Ropz moving to Vitality removes the possibility for Faze to have a secondary awp. Thinking about the last major that saved their asses quite a bit. I don't see EliGe doing that for example (where twistzz was able to that in the past as well). Not sure how hard that hits but Faze loose that possibility in my eyes

[@MusicJunkie37]

karrigan to roll back the years in 2025

[@rbrt6241]

That shouldn’t be an issue in current meta as wee rarely see double awps anyways

[@kripzzy6732]

Elige will probably be able to do that with Rifle

[@fab647]

Frozen can secondary awp. But yeah, the golden days of ropz and twistzz being able to secondary awp are dead:(

[@ocinn2666]

karrigan has been a great second awper back in the years u can still see him pick up the scout in d2 alot

[@michaelrenee9738]

It’s not HeavyGod for Niko. It’s HeavyGod for Nexa. Malbs was the replacement for Niko

Zvonimir, Milan and Chad walk into a bar...

[@Goodarz_man]

The first half half of 2025 will be the most important year of degsters career. He knows that he just has 6 months and imo the only way that he has a chance to stay in falcons or be able to join a good team after that is him and falcons winning(not even a top4,just winning) nearly every tournament in that 6 month period with him having great stats and Impact in every one. Hell,maybe even a good result in the major might be needed. And If that doesn't happen...he is in huge trouble.

[@hans4379]

I see him having a better performance in the past since he knows his job is on the line then getting picked up by another T1-T1.5 team with falcons buying someone better...M0nesy? (Cope)

[@forsenstunlocked5967]

Skinionaire was misspelled again ”who wants to be a skinonaire”

[@jontelongcan]

Elige to Faze is the best transfer. Will lift Faze to the top 3 again.

[@rage9715]

Expect more orgs selling their trio for easy cash and for mid teir orgs to buy a rank 22 team to get invited to easy events. See it happened already with herotic and flacons.

[@kripzzy6732]

Who will buy if not falcons

[@hans4379]

Honestly I really don't see this happening. CS is already hard for orgs to make money in and buying players + the ranking is big money simply for the invites. Falcons have oil money they don't care. Many organizations can't spare the cash for that

1 women team out of 32, whats the problem with that? They are top 25 so they probably won't be in most of the tournaments, and even if they qualify they'll probably do as well as a tier 2 team in a tier S tournament, won't be a nuissance
