Talking Counter: Episode 35 w/ karrigan

[@Ansee7]

just got off work, went downstairs to turn the grill on for a couple of steaks. Went into my TV room to throw something on and low and behold theres a 3 hours podcast with KARRIGAN. Holy smokes boys lets get it going

Other than Karrigan being super quiet for me it's great so far! I love the Pro guests

[@fncfeh]

THIS IS THE BEST PODCAST IN THE SCENE. this hosts, asking the for the insights, with this open and honest pros. THIS SHIT IS LIKE CRACK

[@TakeTheQuantumLeap]

Favorite csgo podcast the recent guests are just icing on the cake

[@dayne6475]

This is one of the best podcasts ive ever seen, idk what it is but ive never been able to sit through 3 hours of podcast before, all your episodes are just great

[@jessicabutterfly2364]

Found HLTV confirmed a while back and been enjoying it and heard about this other podcast from there a few times but slept on it and jeezzzus what have I been missing! Talking Counter is the best Podcast for CS out there! The last 2 episodes with Niko and now Karrigan is just the Icing on the Cake! Thanks for the amazing content! Keep up the superb work ❤

[@usrname1y]

For me the old By The Numbers with Richard Lewis and Thorin will forever be the best pod by far. HLTV confirmed is great for falling asleep though

[@jessicabutterfly2364]

@@usrname1y yeah some episodes were good but i cant put up with Thorin.. the guy is a massive twat! Lol 😆

[@Ryan-9000]

Great podcast yet again! Loved every second of it. 1:16:45 this maybe be the wildest question Karrigan has ever been asked as a pro player lolol 😂

[@EXiLExJD]

Another banger ep of the best CS podcast :)

[@toxndz]

ANOTHER ONE! really appreciate you guys bringing these pros on for long form conversation!

[@cristianonacort1217]

Hi YNK and company, big brazilian fan here, congratz on the good job you guys are making... Yanko, it would be really cool if you manage to get Cold on the podcast, I know you guys are great friends and that would be nice to pick his brain about the current state of CS, ofc if Cold is available too... thanks and keep it up!

[@PARISONFIRE]

love the podcast, please calibrate blacklevels for the tv screen and balance iso for the tv screen, then setup a little light above the table to get a better feeling. overall darker and spotlights. would do a huge difference. thanks

[@BradLee-ob6xq]

Been watching this episode through the course of several days and wanted to thank you guys for the insightful content and also leave a little feedback. Yanko you have a tendency to talk over others and get very loud. I hope you take this professionally and not personally, there were many instances where Chad or Karrigan were attempting to present an idea or elaborate on a topic and you would aggressively cut them off by loudly repeating your opening phrase several times until they conceded to let you speak. I didn’t think it was necessary to add timestamps as that would be quite pedantic but there was an example where you got quite carried away describing times when your calls as a coach won rounds. I was going to leave a more frustrated comment along the lines of accusing you of enjoying the sound of your own voice but I cooled off first and tried to be more respectful. Ultimately I hope you keep in mind that the renowned guests of the show should be stars and the excitement of viewer is focused on hearing their insights during these rare opportunities. Thank you for your time and keep striving to improve in all aspects of your professional methods.

[@gosling_choked_floyd_POG]

Great comment, aside from being too sweet. I'll correct it for you: Janko please shut the fuck up and let guests speak

banger pod. hit the like button. karrigan is easily one of my favs to listen to about csgo and life. guy is really thoughtful and hardworking and it shows, glad hes able to lead a team like faze.

[@JawadKhan-yq5yj]

Pure csgo conversations are GOLD .. thanks for this content ❤

[@editdev]

wow i cant believe cardigan said those things about source 2!! Im hyped

[@MakoCS2]

this is the best cs podcast period the gems in yall shit is crazy

[@mymicisasian1410]

1 Hour in and this is one of the best counter strike discussions I've ever heard. Every single team that wants to play to win in lower tiers should listen to this.

[@karthikp2904]

Baller episode mate. Just finished what probably is my final most exam in my life and I'm chilling listen to these bid brain dudes talking about sports and games and mental attitude. Loved it

[@bulldogmicro4279]

This is the type of content I want. Not a bunch of commentators sitting around a room rambling about what they think is going on in game. Commentators should pick the pros brains apart each episode it's very interesting. I also enjoy the more humanity in the esl pro matches. The team speak listen ins, hearing the players sometimes, and the more human nature of the commentators commentary during the match. You can't talk about the same thing all round sometimes it's ok to talk about other things when the game is boring.

[@PDritty]

Just finished listening this morning. Good podcast! Karrigan's a good leader.

[@stef9019]

Arguably even more hype than the Niko episode - 3 hours again guys you're spoiling us🥰

[@jtleg6]

If possible, please raise overall volume of output just a bit, could also use a little more balance to the low end on the sound. This is my favorite podcast at the moment but I have trouble hearing without headphones. Cheers guys keep up the great work!

[@aidanmango1731]

this was the perfect thing to listen to while studying

[@bambitv6968]

Banger as always, hope you get some other guests during epl.

"You couldn't speak "Brazilian" - It's actually Portuguese, but I won't blame you, specially after 6/7 beers lol - keep with the podcast guys, it's great!

[@assyrianMOTM]

LETS TALK ABOUT THE HISTORY OF CS... AND WHAT MAKES IT CS.. from everyones story.. they're up-bringing, the passion and competitiveness that cs brings that no other game does.. they are people from 1.5. cs 1.6 who still play till this day.... lets talk!

[@Kr1em]

loving the pods, would be dope to see Cadian on an episode!

[@nassolious]

I would love to design some pretty basic stuff for you guys and these episodes! These are great

Great podcast guys, love listening on spotify! Are you able to invest in some pop filters for your mics? YNK's P's are something on my car speakers :P

[@GmailNexus]

I've had exactly the same Experience in my Car today 😂 Glad I'm not the only one! Maybe positioning the mics at a slight angle so they are not directly in the Airstream will also help.

[@airbreyaresports5871]

best hidden secret in counter strike... real fans listen to this pod

Ah yes, an interview with Karrigan where I'm 20mins in and he's been able to say two sentences lol

[@dav1d_csgo]

3 hours of awesome content

[@h0undiwnl]

I fucking love listening to people talk about Counter-Strike 🥲

[@juantinajero9211]

I commented this on the last podcast with NiKo but is there a way you guys raise the volume a bit for those podcasts? I have it at full volume and headphones on and can hear fine but if there’s any background noise, I can’t hear what you all are saying

[@scapegoat4]

All this talk about how you guys have designed and are currently running pro league is an incredible level of transparency, very rarely do we get to hear the rationale for... anything, really! The "going back and talking to players about past rounds" could be an amazing segment just after a match: For instance, talking to G2 about that crazy round against mibr (?) recently where niko walked to ramp with some incredible timings. Better yet, talk to the player who missed niko as he was coming back from locker room, show that it was not his fault, make him laugh about the insanity of it! Also, niko WASN'T the problem, the ENTIRE TEAM was a problem! Finally we have the answer!

[@SinisterSixx]

Man, Karrigan is spot on when it comes to NIP.

[@PaoloPiergiovanni]

I love this podcasts, but for a 3hours episode we need chapters, pls!

Great episode again! One suggestion...can you turn up the volume on your guests? They are noticeably quieter than the rest of you.

[@Kickjess]

When I go to an arena to watch CS:GO I want the experience to be as long as possible, not be done in a few short hours and have to travel back home again :)

spunj thinking aim is what held him back is so insane

[@nihalguron97]

Yeah lmao

[@AstroSully]

Is he wrong though? It’s partly true.

[@nikisrb]

What was it then?

[@mymicisasian1410]

Didn't he literally say a bit earlier in the podcast when he was talking about his teams that what held him back was his inability to self-reflect and how he was in a constant state of instability? He also mentioned his aim which I still think is a fair point.

[@sadasda477]

@@mymicisasian1410 just look at spunj go extremely ranty when someone doesn't agree with his view not to mention spunj and all of the hltv confirmed crew ynk kassad they are too rigid and never open to discussion and they just feel they are right mostly

Hey Chad, next time yanko fucks with the levels stop him, thanks

[@PM-rx3up]

Ynk's mic could be a little farther.. Was a bit jarring.. Otherwise great podcast as always

[@superbAmoeba]

To shorten the length of the games, Valve should introduce white flags for the end of the round. For Example its the first gun round and neither team has enough money to hunt CT's hit the white flag conceding the round(if retake is not seen as an option) and if the t's agree to end the round it goes to freeze time.

[@Caleb-wp3xz]

please get Twistzz on on the pod

[@joachimragnarsson]

Lengthier matches doesn't equal a better experience for the viewer - quality counter-strike does. Watching people save and bait out utility by just sitting fucks the viewing experience bad. Watching defaults, taking space and getting those entrys is all fine and fun but the real excitement comes from watching clutches and retakes. The saving/percentage CS takes away too much from that, that's why maybe the losing bonus need to be less punishing. 90 minutes is perfectly fine for a match, 120 minutes is no problem either but 180-240 minutes filled with pauses and saving is boring.

Talking about to production, i still dont understand why there is a break in between maps. Why is there a 2-5 min break when the analysts could be breaking down the last map. Why not bring in what it meant to lose your map pick as a fav when playing against an underdog, why not talk about why broky/ropz is not in the server yet and how it could affect the series going in..... You see it in dota, in between games, the desk do their job and break down what happened, and go into the draft.
