Yeah but i dont think in tier 1 like major you can win just buy 2 god tier aimers, sprit needs better igl, util and better awper shiro imo is one of the worst awpers in tier1 cs things, that being said he would fit spirit pretty well, and he is in spirit academy so pretty sure it will happen, good to see new players not watching 30yo grandpa's over and over again beside simple and niko i can watch them as long as they play lmao, and you can be sure reddit experts will hate him for baiting like they do hunter and blamef reddit cant understand that there needs to be baiter, lurker, igl not only star awpers and riflers

[@DD-vc7fq]

Spirit desperately needs this kind of player. Their T side has been absolute disaster because there is absolutely nobody to entry the site if donk dies. This issue has been already stated several times during this year, but you could see it the most in the Blast World Finals. All of the players (except donk) are way too passive and they constantly wait for donk to open up the site. You could see this issue in two Anubis games they played against G2. In the first game, donk went nuclear and had 18 or 19 kills on T side, entrying two people constantly, and yet, Spirit won only 7 rounds on the most T sided map (which was their pick). In the second game, donk couldn't get any entry and Spirit won 0 T rounds (the same happened on Mirage). Having 4 passive players combined with chopper disaster mid round calls and zont1x not going for headshots with the AK is what makes Spirit the worst T side team out of all elite teams. They need another aggressive aimer like donk so they don't rely on just one player.

[@sh1nenkai258]

i had a look at the roles and on t side its basically a 1 to 1 with donk with kyousuke being the b lurk on mirage and dust 2 whereas dnok is the brawler/mid player on those maps (lower b on dust2) so there would be a huge role clash with donk on ct though he only shares 3 maps that are the same with donk being ancient dust2 and nuke the maps he isnt is anubis mirage and vertigo where he is colliding wtih chopper and zont1x for this to work id think they'd have to swap out magixx and change some roles for zont1x like for example on mirage zont1x can just play the b anchor while kyo stayts short, on t side its a 1 for 1 for magixx and kyo where they both play the b lurk but honestly i dont think kyousuke could replace anyone due to the huge role clash, it would require either kyousuke to learn entirely new roles or donk sacrifices some roles on maps for kyo which you dont want as he is the superstar it could be the right gamble but it would take atleast 4 months until kyousuke would even peform casue of the roles and tier 1 inexpereince he has

[@jesusismylordandsavior3537]

People saying Spirit needs a better IGL didn't realize how good Chopper is, He come from Vega Squadron whos we thought gonna be big like Gambit but his teamate's inconsistency cost them and now making Spirit an underdog even before donk join. People always come up with something they just see but didn't analyze properly how valuable he is to the team. All he need is a team that perfectly fit to his system and now their system in indeed decent enough to compete on top level. Like I said on the other video Kyousuke can be a lurk or support rifler just like huNter and many other who aim is on point but needs to adjust. I also said they need Electronic for more experience since donk and kyo is kid and one like chopper can't handle both kids if their losing and they start to have tantrum like donks doing plus all they need is a genius Anchor and Electronic is a perfect fit for that and he is still killing it on VP. I propose their roster should be IF they change will compose of Donk - Entry/Main Rifler, Kyousuke - Support/Lurk/Entry, Electronic - Anchor/Supporr/Rifler, Sh1ro - Awper and Chopper as an IGL

[@hermezkonrad]

zontix doesn't lurk if donk doesn't score, shiro cannot get support to awp properly because donk is supported by chopper and zontix, magixx is almost always a solo anchor and that works only when team rushes his site, because when there's no donk, spirit cannot retake. If anything, presence of donk makes their strategy pool severely gutted. And it's not a problem of players themselves, strategies almost always revolve around donk either closing round or making an advantage. IMO, only change they need is more analysts to support Halle or his replacement. Kicking away zont, shiro or chopper will be detrimental to team and problems with magixx performance stems not from magixx himself.

Hello @STYKO I am a new subscriber in your channel and i must say i really like your content. Even though I miss your old cs scene plays, it's good to hear your voice and see your analyses.

[@Enriko291]

Bro is 16 and has an inventory worth of 20.000 dollars

[@Sudegink]

Majority of CS pro's don't even own the skins that they use in tournaments, most of the time it's rich Chinese collectors lending the skins to the pro's, so that their skins get's some attention and recognition, cuz otherwise it would just rott in the collectors inventory who barely even plays cs himself... These rich collectors take pride in that, it's a weird sort of flex for them. Next time you'll watch a tournament, take a good look at the knives when they inspect it, they are all name tagged in Asian characters. I'm not saying that tier1 team player couldnt afford the skins, depending on a player, they make around 50k a month, some more, some less. But a good portion of players are really young, no matter how much you earn, if you still live with your parents, there's no way they would let a kid spend tens of thousands of dollars on a in game skin... That being said, this kid is no exception, he has connections with the big players, and he can just pick what ever skin he wants from the collectors, and use it until it is about to get sold.

[@charbelilias3254]

Styko, the analysis was good, but I was waiting for an answer to the headline of this video? Would have been cool if there was five or ten minutes in the end where you talk about this, and maybe the roles, who would be out for him and so on..

[@Merquette]

m9 black pearl and hedge maze gloves on a 16 year old's steam account. is the org paying him in nice skins? are his parents looted? or is he getting loaned skins to play against t2 teams since his stats are high. I'm more curious in that at this point than his gameplay bc something is weird here

It’s not uncommon lol, collectors loan their stuff to pros all the time, even those not in tier 1. Half the names of the crazy knives you see are Chinese

Replace Chopper, yes he's the only other aggressive player that doubles up on Donk as seen in the Blast Premier that they died together a lot, but imagine Kyousuke and Donk 2v1ing swinging either getting killed or always getting traded consistently or heck switch up entry and have Donk and Kyousuke switch up who entries cause they're both so good at it. If not, idk replace Magixx or Chopper cause Spirit needs better support for Donk cause he can't dry peak and die 1st everytime. MORE flashes, more plays, more support.
