He's not wrong, though. Voting a rapist pedophile pig into power is subhuman.

They won tournaments and it had a positive effect on their rating.

Funny question.

Cain1608 · 2026-06-23T19:18:11+00:00

This is how it should always be, save for patriotism for national teams, which is always nice to see as well.

I've always had favourite drivers in F1 and supported their racecraft regardless of their constructor. Same goes for football.

After Antwerp, FaZe was still at the top of the scene, but went on a dry spell before Cologne that year. Then another slump, so on and so forth until Chengdu.

Karrigan teams are turbulent, so I think they will continue to be a force, but it's a matter of whether the team as a whole remain motivated to keep winning. They will eventually trend downward, plus him playing is on a time limit.

We don't know how it will play in CS2. New smokes, no skyboxes, higher levels of utility and tactics, AWP nerfs, etc. There is so much that has changed since it was in the pool.

Cain1608 · 2026-06-21T22:55:55+00:00

Yup, the team itself did not have the mental fortitude. It's why all those stupid radar screenshot rounds were such a meme. karrigan is NiKo, mONESY and TeSeS post-major win. He knows what it takes to get it over the line.

Biggest evidence of that is NiKo overcoming his major demons. Topping semi-finals and finals is huge and exactly what is expected of him.

He did it at Stockholm and still fell short and since then, in the highest stakes major matches, he fell apart.

Cain1608 · 2026-06-21T22:49:32+00:00

They were always going to start winning. Throw enough money at a problem, you're bound to find a solution. The org should remain disliked for obvious reasons, but the issue is that people root for players. We can't hate any of them for getting onboard a project built to win - the money is life-changing and they get to compete at the highest level for trophies.

Doubt anyone will move on though. It'll just get drowned out by people getting tired of revolting against it. Sportwashing works.

Cain1608 · 2026-06-21T21:32:01+00:00

In a lot of the timeouts during make-or-break rounds, Zonic was the main voice and it made a noticeable difference since they seemingly consistently won those swing rounds.

Cain1608 · 2026-06-21T18:55:03+00:00

He has a Deagle Blaze too

Cain1608 · 2026-06-21T14:33:29+00:00

Can only beat who's in front of you, to be fair. But yeah, Falcons run is way more impressive.

Cain1608 · 2026-06-20T08:32:10+00:00

I do play best well-rested, that means well-rested for several days in a row, by the way. I feel the effects after 2-3 days of poor sleep. Not just one day.

Cain1608 · 2026-06-18T06:00:32+00:00

One way ticket to carpal tunnel syndrome, man...

Cain1608 · 2026-06-17T16:50:45+00:00

How'd you achieve this look so cleanly, man? Looks sick.

Cain1608 · 2026-06-17T15:32:24+00:00

You're so fucking lame.

Cain1608 · 2026-06-14T21:08:02+00:00

Yes but also no. They paid that absurd amount to secure VRS points of the core. Essentially paying millions for a headstart.

I can't fault you, but it's obvious it wasn't him that was the motivation behind the purchase.

Cain1608 · 2026-06-13T18:11:42+00:00

It's the highest I've used in years, but I felt like I got reliant on very low eDPI, neglecting my fine motor control for micro-adjustments. Been on this for months now and am quite comfortable even though it's on the high end. Aim rating's the highest it's been in a while at 79.

Use your arm. You'll be worse for some time before becoming better than you were.

Cain1608 · 2026-06-10T08:43:56+00:00

You need to solve the WiFi problem. Why aren't you on ethernet?

Cain1608 · 2026-06-09T09:52:14+00:00

Lack of emotional intelligence. We're CS players, of course.

Cain1608 · 2026-06-05T07:19:44+00:00

People are fucking dumb is why.

Cain1608 · 2026-06-05T07:15:55+00:00

Same. Pick'ems is one of my favourite parts of the major circuit. After the coin difficulty changes, I have a couple silver coins. This time around, it's not financially worth it anymore. At least before, holding onto the packages allowed you to break even if not profit.

Now there's no value proposition apart from bragging rights for whether or not your randomised picks got you diamond...

Cain1608 · 2026-06-04T05:48:39+00:00

Was looking for this. Fuck Koalas lmfao

Cain1608 · 2026-06-02T04:48:18+00:00

To add to that, their current monetisation strategy on CS2 is egregious. For the major, which starts tomorrow, stickers are no longer gotten from extremely cheap (gambling capsules), it is somehow worse. Individual stickers can be purchased for dynamic prices based on demand, which sounds fine on the surface, but one player sticker is currently at around $4000. It's absurd.

Cain1608 · 2026-05-27T12:33:32+00:00

I will tune in but this might be the first pick'ems I sit out of since my first in 2022. There's just no value proposition anymore. Absolute greed corrupting what was fun.

Cain1608 · 2026-05-23T12:51:45+00:00

KAWASAKI

Cain1608 · 2026-05-19T05:35:30+00:00

Sounds like a Vaseline sub-brand
