[@jayymonty]

Thank you so much stew for delivering such an amazing performance. I watched a lot of tournaments back then because of NA (despite Im from Asia). Csgo major gave me an amazing experiences eventhough I just watched it live. Stew, tarik, hiko, simple, and even skadoodle gave me hype back then. Thanks a ton as it brings back memories ❤

I find it funny how Tarik actually had energy, was watching and paying attention and was into this CSGO watch party compared to his Valorant watch parties. For his Valorant watch parties he never really has energy, his "energy" feels forced and he doesnt really pay attention to the matches. YOu can tell he just does the Valorant for the money and doesn't actually care about the game or the community. Just milks the stupid valorant community for money. FNS is the one that really does pay attention and watches because he likes the game. FNS only issue was that he would get mad at chat too much.

[@PPL_call_me_H]

Not to put Stew down here.. But the fact the man was gone for 5 years, blasted like this after so long, won the entire thing does not give me hopes for the nex generation tbh. Sure there's a Monesy, yes there is donk.. We have up and down Zywoo, but look at the other generation and how long most of these players have been around. Normally they should be way passed their prime when it comes to action speed, cognitive responses and such. I dunno man.. They deserved the win though

there are a lot more better players. the skill and knowledge of the average tier 1 pro is greater than it was 5 years ago. there are just less standouts.

you're talking about a guy who's had pro experience in CS so of course he would pay more attention to the matches because he understands the game at a deep level much like FNS. And you're comparing a literal grand final of a tournament in which he has the same level of energy for all grand finals even in Valorant.
