Episode 106: Russel "Twistzz" Van Dulken

[@thchiefe]

Best thing to come out of pro league is all the content with players

[@LETMEWATCHVIDEOSIDC]

better than the finals for sure

49:30 Twistzz really wanted to laugh there and then realised what Spunj said xdd

[@Nagini808]

Appreciate getting Twistzz on here. Great listen.

1:32:49 - YNk is correct and this is why I think twistzz IGLing is such a good move for him. There are basically no "good" IGLs in any of the top teams at the moment - Of course they are fantastic callers, but their mechanics and firepower is severely lacking. Twistzz being able to call while fragging just as hard as always is something very unique to liquid and anyone who can see how this team is progressing will know what a threat liquid will become to the top teams in the near future

[@djaycs2]

Listening to twistzz talk about the burden of online play makes me feel so vindicated, CS2 does not play well on anything over 30ms and it's so noticeable in comparison to CS:GO. Hope to see Valve tackle this soon. Great episode.

[@pradayou]

Russ is so well spoken, awesome episode guys - totally agree with what Russ was saying about the Pro League content, it brings so much personality to the scene both for talent and players. Would be sad to see it go

had a moment pertaining to the strange surfaces that make nades bounce crazy. was b main on anubis as t and a ct threw a molly from palace. there’s this gutter in the middle of the floor and the molly hit the side of the gutter and it bounced back into the entrance to b and went off mid air 😂

[@theZCAllen]

Great episode! Really fun conversations

[@GoodmanDontLai]

1:37:32 moses you're thinking of the Coaches Roundtable you did for ESL. Blade is the one that said he thinks younger players are more adaptable at around the 58:10 mark.

even in canada, you're lucky to get under 50 ping with all the servers being towards southern or central USA.

Never watched through a podcast episode so easily

[@minibeech03]

i think Liquid should change up the color of logo. Change blue/white to red/white being that the 2 NA players are Canadian and 4/5 players have a red/white flag.

[@jffrzon]

they had conceptual logos for some tournamentd when Taco was playing and I guess that's alll they can do, something conceptual and temporary. you gotta remember it's an organisation playing in more games than CS

[@dieeisleiche9511]

[@marrchy2682]

1:16:30 i hate this argument. Every sport or activity has different conditions for pros and amateurs. If im a football player in my bum ahh low level league. the pitch is shite, has holes, retains water long piece of shite grass. Its not the same for pros. And it shouldnt be, they have heated pitches, that get cut with a nail scissor. Its the exact same for these different level of competition. If 128 tick servers are to expensive for all cs2 spaces. Than OK, just give people who play to play competitive cs. Why should 1% of the player base, who want to have the most competitive experience be held back, by some bums who want to play Gun Game drunk all day, and valve think they have to have the same servers as faceit level 10s? What even is this argument.

[@SpongeCS]

This is a great argument that no one ever talks about.

[@xlgapelsin6173]

The main argument is that 128 breaks the game and it did do some funky things in csgo. No telling what it would do on subtick

[@marrchy2682]

@xlgapelsin6173 it's the same in other sports. A very good pitch has different ways it affects the ball or the players. The ball bounces less on worse fields. Players have a harder time running tho on worse field because the ground is harder. Same with the balls in general are worse quality. Are easier to shot and head. So can we just give the 0.1%of the player base that actually cares about the game to an extreme competitive level the option to play on 128 tick? Who will it hurt? And valve game mode servers can be on subtick? And regular comp severs on standard 64 tick to save costs?

[@xlgapelsin6173]

@@marrchy2682 Brother there is a reason its hard coded to 64. Something tells me the game completely collapses on 128

[@marrchy2682]

@xlgapelsin6173 bro you are completely out of the loop. We played faceit for 1 month of the closed beta on 128 tick. Valve literally coded out the option to launch non sub tick severs after that. Now its hard coded to 64 sub tick. The option is there, it's on valve to allow it.

[@Jerome-iwnl]

I bet Twistzz was calling half of Faze in the last year he was there

[@victors3806]

This is just my opinion you may be right though. He was second caller at least that’s what it seemed like. He definitely made some calls but karrigan probably led at least 60% he always creates the space and lets his team do the work after that. That’s where I think twistzzz steps in cause his mid round calls look so good on liquid

[@potatoz1295]

Yes he was with Broky, both of them made in game inputs to Karrigan's calls as Karrigan said and what we hear from the comms he shared
