WHY STEWIE2K IS THE BEST PICKUP / NIKO TO VITALITY??? - Hot Take Point Made 25

[@fyroe]

Duncan "I̶ a̶m̶ e̶s̶p̶o̶r̶t̶s̶" "I am fucking ropz" Shields

[@dari191]

Thorin and Kassad arguing and maui sitting there like a child watching his parents fight is so fucking funny. No hate for Kassad or anyone for that. Its just such good entertainment.

[@jpe93]

i would hate to be someone who takes these guys too seriously. wouldn't be able to enjoy the pure comedy they bring

[@smr_0172]

i have to listen at 3 different volume levels when these 3 are doing a show lol

[@9inetap]

Lmao it’s like my friends in discord

[@daniel01045]

If Loudness Equalization is available in your audio options in windows/audio settings (i.e realtek) then you could enable it to fix it.

[@sleepless_160]

KZbin has a stable volume feature now

[@DanRobards]

Zero room treatment too. Shitloads of echo and a headset mic. Audio wise one of the worst podcasts 😂

[@nsf_318]

@@sleepless_160yo that shit was already on and didnt know 😅

[@alcazar9266]

really enjoyed the final episode of hot take point made

[@Vexian]

fire

[@ravensburgerburger3989]

Unlucky go next talkshow

[@polterghast12]

This has to be the most entertaining episode yet! Never change Kassad.

[@ConvolkJT]

Thorin and Kassads argument was the most heated I've ever seen on a talk show

[@RiggedandReady]

These takes are getting heated!

[@JackShaneDyas]

nah this isn't even that bad compared to American talk shows

[@nightfire_CSGO]

If it was anyone else their friendship would be over and this would be the last ep of the show. But these 2? Just banter, light work. XD I love them

[@davids8127]

That's what happens when 2 semi dumb person with big egos argue

[@Gomezio]

You must not have seen the final episode of Listen Loco

[@singular9]

Thorin roasting kassad about Niko is GOLD. Kassad so triggered lmfao 58:00 4 minutes of pure liquid GOLD

[@falc0n717]

Thorin vs Kassad, the funniest banter duo known to man

[@heinrichrahm1531]

Fr Kassad is the perfect fit for this show

[@augustus8034]

what the fuck just happened in niko's section

[@cd2194]

[@saratchandrab4384]

Time stamp or whose hot take?.

[@conormcfire]

58 mins ​@@saratchandrab4384

​@@saratchandrab4384the niko section

[@Flare97]

So from 41 minutes ​@@saratchandrab4384

[@jockpong]

Thorin, Kassad, and Maui could apply this format to anything - racquetball, pantone colors, lawncare youtubers, etc. - and it's still an instawatch for me

[@paradoxofgodexisting]

I am laughing so hard!!! Its true, Duncan, i do watch these 90+% just for your jokes and banter. Never dismember this legendary trio.

[@bramma10official]

Kassad: I will not call a major win a fluke, that's disrespectfull. Also Kassad: Blast banana cup... MAJOR.

[@trocoplaytv1254]

Also frankly it depends on your definition of a fluke, in my opinion a team can fluke and still be the best team in the world on that day. The fluke part is that they're almost never or haven't even once ever before been at that level until this fluke.

[@friendlyneighborhoodtoaste8216]

Well calling a win a fluke is different from calling the major itself Not prestigious

[@onecon7745]

G2 Perfecto

[@Onomynn]

Yeah cause vitality beat the mighty Apex, gamer legion etc.

[@galapagooose]

"You are insane, yes" lmfao

[@ericlin3330]

The "I'm fucking ropz" rant is the funniest shit I've heard all month

[@m1cky286]

just watching the thorin vs kassad section is hilarious and you have maui reacting in the background and that is basically just how I am rn now😂😂

[@9inetap]

That banter over the Niko section was hilarious 😂

[@KooKoo1825]

That Kassad and Thorin argument was funny af 😂😂😂. Kassad was getting so heated over the counter to his argument and eas doing the Dona thing.

[@kokoukaga9902]

i cant with thorin's comment at 58:55 💀 the whole argument was crazy

[@toniskug6983]

What i love about the part they argue is how they just play it off without being pissed like a little kid and running away. 3 men accepting opinions and joking about it😂

[@viggy2k66]

Loved the content. But on the niko segment I feel like there was an interesting discussion that didn’t happen. Kassads point is that he doesn’t agree with Duncan’s speculation on Nikos in game character traits as an igl. I think if Kassad knows Niko personally, then would likely have insight into how he acts and behaves. I don’t really care much for the bias point because ultimately this is a show of pundits and so you take that for what it’s worth. Thorin seemingly was tilted that his opinion on the matter was being disregarded purely because he doesn’t have the relationship with Niko that kassad has. Which is entirely fair. But I think there is some truth to both points. Frankly kassads take on Niko is interesting and I wish it was actually developed. What is Niko like on a server? When Niko does his facecam tilt, does it affect his team? Has he matured as a player emotionally? These are questions I wish were answered. Ultimately tho the segment kind of devolved to shit throwing at each other and personal attacks. Which is fine, but I will say it did feel awkward and unpleasant to watch. Just my genuine thoughts on the matter.

[@drianol4624]

Man this is by far my favorite show all time and its not even close.

[@navox933]

Please never let this show end. Kassad might be the unintentionally most funny person on the planet.

[@nonAehT]

you could tell Maui regretted not bringing Popcorn to this one

[@singular9]

Maui taking over the show a minute in is hysterical. Thorin malding.

[@phantomlightnin88]

Thorin and Kassad's argument had me rolling. Never change this show lmao.

[@kernc7786]

I desperately need someone to put the We Cry Together instrumental over Kassad and Thorin arguing

[@varunnarain50]

I don't think I've ever rewatched a single episode several times in a few days. This was absolute gold.

[@keelancranfield-brooks8103]

This has become It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia. I love it.

[@MusicJunkie37]

We been starving

[@pashalecqua]

INJECT THIS EPISODE INTO MY VEINS LOL THORIN AND AND KASSAD ARGUING FOR 20 MINUTES IS SO GOOD

[@adakt]

"id give a take but you know her better than me" duncan squeezing the joke till the end, this episode was a banger!

[@Conflictful]

"Are you fuckin anyone in G2?" wasn't on my bingo card but fair enough xD

[@davidnewberry9861]

Couldn't stop laughing during this one, absolutely phenomenal content

[@luvhcchris]

Thorin v Kassand was amazing 😂. Yes we tune in for the clips 🔥😎

[@Joke89ful]

It is the best HT when this lineup is here , love the Kassads reactions to Maui...

[@vedser]

There werent any HTPM episodes with different leneup though

[@evolvedHE]

This is literally the only lineup

[@xavierbaltazar2453]

What? 😂

[@1opaldude]

this show every episode gets better and better

[@BuRnOuTTHE1]

HTPM was a great series, i am excited for season 2 and wonder who the new guest will be :D laughing so damn hard, gold content as always and no Kassad we definitely dont hate you

[@animaaad]

pleaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaase guys change the thumbnail. l was literally like "wtf is this video in my recommended, l didn't care for it, until maui mentioned it on his stream. u need to have your faces on it, it's def the best that way

[@csCherry]

Yes this thumbnail looks real generic

[@astar2394]

yeah I 100% agree. especially when it's a 'podcast' too. you want to see who is on it and it's already instantly recognizable with the background being synonymous with HTPM.

[@Sander17_]

The banter in the niko section was insane, never change Kassad.

[@Drysco]

This episode was so hilarious guys, this show is by far my favorite currently running counterstrike podcast

[@davidethanj11]

Haven’t laughed this hard at a talk show in forever Kassad and Thorin that was brilliant

[@TheDonod]

THIS IS THE BEST EPISODE EVER

[@ke3ph]

This episode was excellent. Everyone on form, biting back at each other.. very funny.

[@fishin11345]

Maui brought out the popcorn with the rest of us for that Niko take lol

[@beckett7242]

This is one of the greatest cs talk show episodes ever

[@peepopoo4387]

Thorin makes a ton of content and I appreciate it all, but this is the best show because of the dynamic Kassad brings. I don't think anyone can make Thorin throw his hands up in the air like Kassad. Thorin's used to being the bull in the china shop, but Kassad is on another level of bullheadedness.

[@notoriousgg9329]

That was a fantastic final episode of hot take point made.

[@dofstudio9978]

Only fuck that was one of the funniest Hot Take Point Made 🤣🤣🤣

[@blondedd]

The banter between kassad and thorin was lovely thank you guys

[@WhosAr7z]

Stewie2k is America's hero in the Alien's vs Human's grand slam.

[@RansomWilson782]

Never let this show end.

[@Decon89]

great show. funny how kassads last ht might not need to happen if they win vs TS today at blast. also, pleaaasse lower the mic vol on thorin or higher it on kassad and maui!!!

[@rooneygasparpinto3342]

Always fire, I don't know how after that many iterations of this show the hot takes seems to be still getting spicier 🔥

[@TopeTorment]

That Niko section was one of the best moments ever on HTPM

[@iliekturtles2709]

Thorin is right: this show is about being entertaining and not analysis. Thorin and Kassad having a shouting match will never boring to watch

[@caged3249]

This show has to be consistently the funniest CS podcast. I look forward to this one over all the others

[@pkftw4166]

Played on speakers this fine. Sound wise.

[@elijahforrester1599]

Thorin and Kassad top 2 beards in esports

[@lewj0]

Launders and spunj are clear ngl

[@maleficluna7638]

yo this argument between thorin and kassad, kassad is actually right but still funny as hell, especially where thorin drops the truth bomb of "at the end of the day, people dont watch this for analysis but for the jokes i make" TRUE

[@amartin6255]

Funniest piece of content I have seen in a long time. Masterpiece.

[@peterenis3507]

59:45 wtf, classic thorin

[@cd2194]

PRE BANGER!! IVE BEEN WAITING FOR MONTHS

[@paterpen9832]

NiKo as Vita IGL is actually genius. Just think about similar roles like Mirage con and Nuke outside.

[@mikeadams6036]

This is my favorite episodes of this show, well worth the wait

[@Shinigami.GK3]

This fr is a top 5 episode I'm crying 😭😭😭

[@raavn.]

Fricking GOLD!!! 58:55 😂😂

[@floofy1]

regarding the navi fluke, that was the vibe that i got from their interviews too. the sheer lack of arrogance and most importantly, CONFIDENCE. theres like zero confidence from major champions lmfao

[@ElmerOmero02]

Thorin: NaVi themselves think the major was a fluke. NaVi: Hey, Thorin we are playing the finals at blast

[@volify_]

yo thorin and kassad! love it! be yourselves! real fans love it! y’all can disagree and it’s all for the show and love of cs. even at the end y’all are laughing. it’s great. stay the same!

[@TYLERLOVESBMX1]

Thorins banter is a fucking gem. Has me laughing right off the bat

[@Fabsh27]

Probably the maddest episode of this show, great fucking entertainment keep it up guys! xD

[@funkygizmo]

this show is so good guys. nothing but bangers every episode

[@jigsaw_3156]

great episode but pls don't use these stupid generic thumbnails in the future, i saw it and almost instinctively clicked "Don't recommend channel" before realizing this was actually a new HTPM episode

[@stittu]

if i scream my opinion at you, its more true. -Thorin

[@malooft]

“Kassad is the special needs kid” had me in fkn tears

[@tech4172]

Also kassad is crazy putting niko at top 5 atm

[@ShadowWasntHere8433]

i cant tell if Kassad and Thorin are actually mad at each other

[@evanroy4143]

Classic maui take on stewie when M0nesy + niko on team

[@pkftw4166]

I showed this to a friend who knows nothing about CS. He said I don’t know what they are talking about but I’d watch this show again.

[@kapilsharmaWorld_uncensored]

Its quite shamful that a major run and win by a team with 2 decads of lagecy is still being called a Fluke. Shame.

[@davidw7609]

Damn, Thorin got very butthurt this episode. was lashing out at Kassad like a wounded badger hahah

[@gregbeefcake007]

You guys are legends !! Big love for this show!

[@clean4011]

BEST EPISODE EVER!!!!!

[@floofy1]

i hereby officially declare that i do not hate thorin or kassad. that segment was funny af. Personally i'd weigh kassad's insights regarding Niko more over thorin's

[@neues3691]

The funniest thing about this show is kassad intermittenly forgetting it's a hot take show and trying to rationalise why a take is not reasonable.

[@kaptoxic]

8:20 what if Monesy this, Zywoo that -- doesn't matter, G2 didn't win anything in CS2 before Stewie came in and didn't do that well after either

[@dunemeister5718]

Time to just get Nikos mum on to outrank Kassafs opinion and find the real best roster move for him

[@Polyvalent]

Thorin writhing like Nic Cage in the Wickerman hearing that hot take

[@seekayz]

Funniest episode ever maui just laughing in the background the whole time

[@kidmoyer4179]

Im dead at the Richard Lewis part. This show is gold

[@booyaka2981]

Saying NIP is already better than EF, Falcons and 9z is absolutely bonkers

[@Carl-hp9hz]

best episode yet

[@SIN4YOUx]

Love the banter boys

[@blizz_cs]

This show will be cited in the new age of Esports talk shows.

[@Lordbaelish44]

Absolute banger episode

[@dayne6475]

37:05 not true. In that case they would not be able to play asia RMR because they have 2 from EU subregion but the asian subregions are split. Lets say someone had 2 EU 1 NA 1 SA and 1 ASIA, they would play EU no matter what, they would NOT be eligible to play in Americas RMR because they would be split 1 and 1 for SA qual and NA qual so they would go to EU qual since it actually has the most pertaining to any subregion

[@ImChrisZ_]

Thank you all!

[@erikekvall9704]

Banger ep hahaha

[@pooter-zn2hm]

1:04:48 maui's parents are fighting and all he can do is sit there. such a somber moment

[@t.w.videos1739]

This show is priceless never change😂
