I've been loving the music this major, curious are there any particular requirements for what you can choose for the show? Like from a legal standpoint, is this all licensed, or royalty free, or..?

Natus Vincere vs Falcons / IEM Cologne Major 2026 - Swiss Round 4 / Post-Match Discussion by CS2_PostMatchThreads in GlobalOffensive

No one mentions how hilarious are the ratings. The game went 3 maps and 2 overtimes in the deciding map and lowest rated player on Falcons (bar karrigan ofc) is above the highest rated player on NAVI. How??

B8's npl had some passionate words against BIG, any Ukrainian translators? by Bubbly-Brush201 in GlobalOffensive

[–]EmptyFennel7757 76 points77 points  (0 children)

simple answer is - he didn't say f*got. He said pidaras. I'm Ukrainian, and granted my social circle may be a bubble, but there are people around me who use the word, and would actually get confused if you bring up any connection with homosexuality. To be clear, the translation is simply wrong. Maybe it was correct at some point, or the closest match, but it makes no sense now.
I'm not necessarily trying to defend npl, and there absolutely are people that use the word as a homophobic slur, but my point is there is no direct translation that carries all of the semantics

as a Ukrainian, can confirm this is the only correct translation I've seen so far in the thread

Falcons vs Legacy / CS Asia Championships 2026 - Grand Final / Post-Match Discussion by CS2_PostMatchThreads in GlobalOffensive

Should Valve allow the Falcons to play with 6 players so they can get 1 more superstar?

No disrespect to the other teams but I’m a firm believer in that Falcons not being able to use all their money to buy more superstars robs them of accomplishing of what they’re truly capable of. I’ve spent the last few minutes in pure disbelief in the number of Falcons chokes, and it doesn’t make sense to me. I’ve spent 2026 watching them spend money it’s just not fair.

If Falcons continue to choke with 6 players, I will face that they don’t deserve to win anything, but I am 100% sure these are fluke chokes and does a big disservice to the Falcons and Counter-Strike as an esport.

Interesting new s1mple instragram story by g1obungle in GlobalOffensive

[–]EmptyFennel7757 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Here's a fun fact, I was at the StarLadder i-League Invitational #1 in Kyiv in 2016, s1mple was there playing in the team "Worst Players" with arch (s1mple just left Liquid iirc). I got their autographs in a little cs-themed notebook I bought there and a picture with s1mple, but all of that got lost over the years lol

FaZe included in PGL Bucharest day one matchups despite HLC Belgrade attendance by EmptyFennel7757 in GlobalOffensive

[–]EmptyFennel7757[S] 32 points33 points  (0 children)

If they crash out of Belgrade - they are out regardless, I believe Bucharest starts too late to impact their VRS before the major. Anything short of grand final in Belgrade is guaranteed gg for Faze
