What Makes A Great IGL

[@Mauisnake]

CONGRATS ON QUALIFYING

[@becksjr.2710]

Thanks!

[@KindrachukOW]

@@becksjr.2710 bro thinks hes part of the team

[@ashsplaybook]

😍

[@ashsplaybook]

Thank you for the kind comments everyone 🥰

[@ENDYZ]

bro tried to sneak snax into the thumbnail 😊

[@ksdekamil]

Finally, Snax gets recognition as one of the best IGL. Since he joined G2 they have most won rounds as T. His calling style is so unpredictable. Definitely top 5 in the World as IGL right now

[@xlgapelsin6173]

Hard to judge Snax properly with his team. He has crazy firepower and it shows that when the individuals struggle they fall flat incredibly hard. Although he has some funny calls sometimes

[@mathewleung6945]

Top 5?

[@ksdekamil]

@@mathewleung6945 yeah, definitely

[@pikkanenkappeli7910]

we will see next season is snax really a good igl

[@cazy66]

congrats on reaching the major! you'll gonna be a future top 1 coach for sure

[@Leobiazzi]

Loved how you explained the thought process behind that Snax call. Congrats on qualifying for your 4th Major in a row!

[@artes9222]

"I go fake A, you go B" is among top 5 most common things you will hear in a typical matchmaking tho.

[@ashsplaybook]

@@artes9222 The difference is that at a Pro level every player knows exactly who the A/B guys are, so if the B player is towards A then it 99% is an indication that he has grouped with the team

[@kacperjankiewicz8986]

The great example is Twistzz when he realized that Faze was playing B stack once he had spotted red gloves what A player use. It is hard to get to a random people plays a random matches on faceit or matchmaking. Teams make a hundred mistakes and at the end the matach is won by the team made 99 mistakes comparing to 120 mistakes of opponent every round. On pro level one minor mistake may cost you a loosing round and another 2 because of economy.

[@k07baa]

In Poland, people say that Snax should be kicked from G2 just because "he doesn't get many kills." People don’t understand that an IGL doesn’t need to get kills but rather lead their team to victory. You explained that very well, and I hope that when people see it, they’ll change their opinion about IGLs.

[@rasmuspedersen8261]

Ash i have to give you some credit for these videos, they are without comparison some of the best videos cs have to offer :)))

[@ashsplaybook]

Thanks! I hope that we can keep the quality up, I have a fantastic editor and Zero is also amazing

[@YakuzaGoon]

Coach Ash getting some more respect on his name after that beastmode RMR reverse sweep, love to see it, prolly the least glamorous role but undeniable impact considering falcons didn't get through with s1mple and other ultra tenured players but GL reverse sweeped with a new team.

[@CS2Tactics]

This was a fantastic video, top quality as always. Congratulations on qualifying for the major, I’ve been rooting for you guys pretty hard.

[@kokoukaga9902]

congrats on the major! always loved the content

[@aranyak1881]

The quality of these videos are amazing, from the narration to the 3d visuals, awesome stuff

[@AL0129]

Uploading videos like this mid major shows ash's dedication to constantly improving too

[@lukaki8088]

I respect your opinion. These 3 are great igls

[@eusuntlorean]

like as always. Great content Ash!

[@kohuseurakaunotar]

You deserve bigger paycheck than gamerlegion probably is paying for you. I hope some bigger org like G2 Falcons Liquid or something like that pickes you up and 10k month. KEEP GRINDING!

[@okmancs]

you are an insane coach just grind some more and surely a major will be yours

[@ppqkastike]

I love your voice and personality so much!

[@cd2194]

snax on the thumbnail of this vid is wild

[@BART_G]

Respect big apple.

[@bgbd182]

cause he's literally the subject of the vid

[@t.w.videos1739]

@@bgbd182nah snax isnt an igl hes a slot filler

[@cd2194]

@@bgbd182 thats even more crazy lmao

[@Supermrluke1]

Ash can you make a video on what to do tactically and structure wise once a team of 5 has come together and the roles are set? Do you work on a default for all maps first and then on set strats or how does it work?

[@ashsplaybook]

Usually a few basic defaults and 1-2 set rounds, and from there I try to see what we are lacking and underusing and slowly build up the Playbook™ from there

[@Supermrluke1]

@ashsplaybook thank you for the reply mate. Im happy for your deserved success in the major!

[@lmaomatt]

hi ash, what would you say are the main / best qualities of ztr ? since you said he is "the next big thing". great content as always

[@ashsplaybook]

Will probably cover this topic in a later video early next year 👀

[@bravosixactual3000]

Correction: mouz did hit #1 once in late 2019/early 2020 with the Karrigan/frozen/ropz core

[@BART_G]

@@bravosixactual3000 nah they were 2nd back then

[@GGBandyta]

Siuhy could play Steve in Minecraft real life adaptation

[@usertim1205]

Wonderful channel! ;)

[@NinjaLuggage1337]

Insane for Qualifying, 4 BO3s just like how you won 3 BO3s to qualify for Legend Stage.

[@vasinphumimas3813]

Unpopular opinion: Falcons should replace Zonic with Ash.

[@duplad8546]

why would ash downgrade

[@Anand-lx8pp]

​@@duplad8546 money

[@duplad8546]

@@Anand-lx8pp true but he should join a much better team than falcons. He could easily replace both taz in g2 and even qtqzzz in vitality. The only two irreplaceable coaches rn are blade and sycrone imo.

[@vasinphumimas3813]

@@duplad8546 he cant replace xtqzz since apeX doesnt like british flag.

[@Goose29100]

Not including the best IGL of 2024??

[@alang.2054]

You probably mean the best coach's puppet of 2024, aka bo3 merchant

[@de_iure]

Aleksi is nobody without Gla1ve. Any IGL that Blade had under himself thrived good, whilst Aleksi failed with many good teams...

[@P4r4IIax]

great video

[@bobby_au]

how do i improve as an igl :( im watching vid and cs2lens every morning and going through recent games and strats i still suck. i struggle getting 5 people in a server doing dryrun

[@melexie9155]

You will definitely learn more from your own analysis from the last games and adapting to your opponents during the game, than mindlessly repeating pro's tactics.

[@kaboot45]

Poland.

[@bartomiejszeliga8961]

Snax was no IGL in VP

[@ashsplaybook]

he told me multiple times on different occasions in person that he was

[@melexie9155]

​@@ashsplaybookhe was there when the Polish VP started to fall apart, before that Neo was the IGL

[@BogaDemon85]

@@melexie9155 True.

[@netyn]

For the most part he was the second caller, but I think at some point he was also the igl

[@senseiwu763]

Using snax and not aleksib or apex is wild

[@BART_G]

You did not understand his point at all, also, since he worked with snax (and not aleksib or apex) he has better insight into his leading and personality

[@senseiwu763]

@@BART_G I get it, but should have worked with better igl's

[@gomfer0817]

​@@senseiwu763 So you are just a troll lol. He talked about 3 IGLs from top 6 and it's not enough for you lol.

[@qeustrian7137]

​@@senseiwu763 apex is better IGL than snax XDD?

[@SplingerPL]

@@senseiwu763 Apex is shit Snax so much better

[@juho8082]

Where is aleksi, karrigan is washed like his team snack back ain't doing calls to his team, niko does everything. Glad from the recognition that siuhy got.

[@t.w.videos1739]

Snax top igl😂😂😂

[@SplingerPL]

Yes top igl

[@Ofiotaurus]

Congrats for qualifying (but calling Snax a top IGL is a strech)
