What happened at the RMR? C9's future with Russian team | HLTV Confirmed S6E14 (CS:GO podcast)

[@v1ruz312]

love the idea of a live hltv confirmed show in a bar enviroment - would be really cool to see a similar show during a IEM Cologne

[@outkripper]

only if prof is the bar tender in his trademark turtleneck

[@goneski]

I’d prefer a by the numbers in a bar I’m sure thorin and Richard would say some hilarious shit with some drinks

[@oversharingturtle4462]

Just imagine prof and striker being the bartenders, spunj playing the regular standing beside them and a rotating roster of players having chats with others in the background

[@Dean_AZN]

Having only come back to CS in the last year, it’s awesome to see more teams from different regions. Mongolia, Argentina and Uruguay

[@Goodborni]

FYI - BNE Juanflatroo did 2400 EUR damage after the celebration for qualifying for the Major. Which was paid by the owner of the primary Sponsor of BNE. Also from what was said it was damaged headsets not the monitors 😂

[@pol44r]

Astralis were literally 2 rounds away from not making it over heet idk how u can tell "its finally working", its still very weird, without konfig dropping double what he averages in map 3 astralis they go nowhere

[@scapegoat4]

Yeah, they need another consistent piece to... well, keep the team consistent. Atm it kind of feels like nip in the past where they relied on rez to pop off a little too much and when he didn't they felt kind of weak, but now that they have hampus and brollan rez has more chances to completely destroy people. Astralis needs "their own brollan" but the question then becomes "is there a player that they can sign over xyp" (whose kick is an entirely different discussion, due to the length of his contract): There are some potential players (such as TMB), but a lot of them don't have much if any experience at the top level, which astralis' management are probably scared to sign due to their recent woes with lucky and to a lesser extent bubzkji Bottom line, further changes definitely need to be made outside of farlig pulling a broky or k0nfig turning into niko at the major or some shit, 100%. Maybe not right away (as giving farlig a little more time to adjust would be wise), but if this continues...

Bad news eagles broke 2 headsets. Each worth 1200euro each. They did get fined, but their shirt sponsor Gjirafa said they would cover the broken equipment.. And they did hold their promise and covered it..

[@adamfalk9860]

I think you are very wrong in some of your resoning regarding etiquette. These are well payed players. They should be able to take a photo with fans even after a loss. I get that you dont do selfies in bathrooms and stuff but otherwise, show up for the fans as much as possible.

[@sargeant45]

Eh. Idk. They can do what they like. I wouldn't begrudge someone for not being in the right headspace to take photos. Ultimately they are pretty much only being paid to do sponsor work, media appearances and to practice and play CS. We are just here to watch and enjoy their game if we choose, they don't owe us anything else as players, in my opinion.

[@adamfalk9860]

@@sargeant45 I would not get mad if a player turned me down. But they should be prepared and aware that people will approach them either way

Having anyone paying taxes to Russia is a huge issue, right now Counter Strike is directly supporting a Fascist country by allowing Russian players play. Not taking a stand is despicable both by Valve, the TOs and HLTV.

on the casters: the fact that professionel caster that are getting pay for casting think a game i bad/boring etc. and then stop casting and start talking is completely uprofessionel and shouldnt be hired again no matter how bad the game is. it's their job and that they cant pretent to care even when they get money for it. they shouldnt ever be hired for any major, and thats half the caster on this years major.....

The energy for G2 was the same last major, people were even putting them in 0-3 bracket for the pickems; yet they made it to the final…

[@kenobizocker9796]

Last time they were bad before the major, this time they are already bad in between the cycle and its a fresh team aswell. Just the opinion from a G2 3-0 Picker :) But they shouldn't be underestimated just of that for sure

[@nisem0no]

1:18:08 - what are they referring to here (WRT Navi not getting along)? Is there a video or something?

[@bbgodR]

Talking(probably) about the interactions between Perfecto and Electronic during the RMR, which were heated. Also, there were mistakes in games in where the timeouts showed Blade getting fired up. I'm sure it's just Navi pissed that they are not in form. But who knows...

[@AngelAsianMusic]

Russian players are having a lot of problems because of the situation with their country. Particularly Electronic is going through a tough time because he has to make a decision with his wife and child, so is not easy to be focus on the games and have a positive attitude. usually electronic is a bit more lay back and chill, but he was more aggressive in the way he talked to the others, and they were seen having arguments and discussing stuff. is unclear if navi is going to stick together after the major.

[@HECKHOUND38]

@@AngelAsianMusic Damn that's a good point. Poor dude.

[@CrobianYT]

I've heard something about Perfecto being anti-war, whilst Boombl4 and electroNic's families being for it, which has made for awkies in the team. Don't know how true that is.

[@DomzyDX]

@@CrobianYT theres a huge flaw with this story. Electronic, boombl4, and perfecto may be russian, but they lived in ukraine for most the year for work, they have many friends who are ukrainian and teammates. Just about all of navis analysts and employees are also ukrainian. So being for this war seems unlikely even if they arent ukranian.

[@KeefeL]

Striker, I love you and think you're brilliant... though I just thought there was one point I'd like to make about the talent drama. Why is Sadokist there? Or in any recent events? Like everything has been swept under the rug?

[@Amarnath-ik4fy]

So how does this work. CIS roaster bought by NA org. So the team will be playing under NA region or it will be still CIS region

[@McBobghost]

Unless C9 relocates the team to NA, they wil won't play the NA region. They might still be CIS, though C9 has said they will help the player relocate, so I wouldn't be surprised if they end up playing in the EU region. The location of the org alone has nothing to do with what region a team plays in (think of the BlameF version of Complexity, or french Envy)

[@Amarnath-ik4fy]

[@Cayde_died_for_nothing]

I think it’s mostly that vitality‘s biggest problem COULD be a language barrier and that one would fade with time. With G2 on the other hand everyone was speaking English for some time now so there‘s a lack of additional reasons why they perform so low compared to how they could/should perform
