Summer shuffle: ENCE, G2, Vitality changes analyzed (feat. kassad) | HLTV Confirmed S6E24

[@jorocinak1238]

Gotta love kassad. No censorship. Tells it how he means it.

[@nicolainilsen5101]

And casually drinking vodka 😅

[@Pisslowstomper]

True that. He's no filter gotta love that

[@luxxnn]

Kassad is just such a genuine dude, cannot hate on this guy haha, nice Episode.

[@kussbaby]

Kassad shitting on EG never gets old. This might even be better than his feat. on Snake & Banter.

[@KanaalMTS]

I love Kassad, he's perfect for this type of podcast. I sometimes dislike him as analyst on tournament because he doesn't have that kinda analyst vibe, but in this podcast form he is killing it 🙌🏻🔥

[@tinychamberz]

yup. as an a analyst hes too loe energy and just kinda is there, almost as unprofessional as stunna

[@Pisslowstomper]

For me it's that he's really stubborn on his opinion on the broadcast which is fine but he is not being so diplomatic as it is expected on those kind of broadcast. I think he has room to improve on that. Love him on this podcast tho.

[@tinychamberz]

@@Pisslowstomper to be fair i like him more and more, and he is a very good coach, judginf by the results he had, just the pairing of him, ynk and stunna is horrible. im probably the only one but i constantly see stunna, looking anywhere else in the studio and not paying attention to what the others are saying, like hes in a dogpark.

[@sadasda477]

@@Pisslowstomper also, you love him on podcast, because podcast has 2 dumb nerds and one chad and one ex coach, obviously ex coach with his friends in game would be fire.

[@noiceman]

You can tell Kassad knows what he's talking about when he recognizes how important a player autimatic is.

[@niigu]

Totally agree. NA needs more autimatics. I was hoping for him to take the role og IGL in the new iteration or go to complexity (as IGL, or just to contribute with experience).

Having played against mezii, I genuinely don't understand how fnatic aren't building the roster around "mezii go kill". If they'd got roeJ, nicoodoz and HooXi, you've got a major quarterfinalist core with the experience of KRIMZ and the robotics of mezii. that'd be a scary team imo. kassad's a great no bullshit interviewee too, damn.

[@ilikecounterstrike]

fashr is a pretty good pick up too. I think the logic is that all the players are experienced enough to know how they want to play, and none of the IGL's available were good enough to warrant getting over fashr.

[@brendenlim2158]

@@ilikecounterstrike azr? Hooxi????

[@plate1014]

has anyone from copenhagen flames even been picked up other than jabbi? if not i think that's pretty crazy considering how great they have been. I'm a little surprised astralis haven't picked up nicodoz. 22 year old Danish speaking awper who is a clear upgrade to farlig and has shown a lot more promise than farlig. unless the longterm plan is device and they don't want to spend more money I don't see why he wouldn't be at the top of the list for astralis

While i agree with the views on ESIC funding is the biggest issue, To create a body to deal with infractions with E-Sports it needs funding at the moment ESIC doesn't have the required funding

[@TheHajsan]

Why is no one talking about xtqzzz? What is his philosophy and how does it differ from aleksi’s? To me it seems like g2 are downgrading their igl because of their coach. If the difference is so big - didn’t they know about it when they hired them? To me, g2 would have been better off with just doing the jks change and give aleksi some more time

[@jeremymcintyre5316]

What kassad said about the North American scene is correct… But please, as NA fans we really need to be patient. We just have to accept that we’re behind the CIS/European/Brazilian markets right now. This is partly our fault for mismanaging the talent we had between cloud9/Liquid/Evil geniuses/NRG But a lot of this also comes down to how covid and valorant has slaughtered out player base. North America will be great again but we need to give it Atleast 3 years of solid backing before we see fruits. Franchising hitting Valorant will hopefully give us the first “wave” of new T3/T2 players. From there, it’s our job as a region to really push to keep the T2/T3 scene alive. We really have to get behind them. Not only the T2/3 scene but also the academy side, we need as much NA youth representation at the WePlay academy league as possible, europe is miles ahead and are churning out talent like no tomorrow, monesy/torzi/phzy/Krimbo/JDC/regali, list goes on and on. If we can sustain this for just a couple years, we will see the stars align just like they did for cloud9 to win a major, and for Liquid to have an era and win a grand slam. Until then we need to accept we need European help, and we need to stop comparing ourselves to Faze/NaVi/G2 - they’re championship teams and are miles ahead of us. I have 0 doubt we’ll catch up, but we’ve got to be patient🙏🏾 please stop expecting liquid to challenge for titles with what NA has to offer…

In the case of Brollan leaving Fnatic, Brollan wanted to get sold, its hard to force a someone to stay and be motivaded when he wants to leave, if Carn would have put up a beliveable masterplan on how to bring Fnatic back he would probably have stayed but...Fnatic is kinda like G2 right now, fumbling in the dark...

They were in talks with Boom4le and he refused because he wanted to remain in Russia due to his "close circle of friends", then AleksiB looked completely lost in his last interview after they got knocked out of Cologne, the guy genuinely didn't know why it all went wrong. Hooxie was on some interviews with Thorin and Sammler and he spoke with them and actually really wanted to lead this team. However he does, the guy has passion so I think he deserves a chance because I think he'll give his best.
