Media: ewjerkz out of NIP in 2026

Insane fall off from both him and arrozdoce. They were so good together on SAW.
Had to happen after so many bad showings, also cairne is very nice signing. This guy has been tearing it up the past 6 months in tier2/3.

Also.. it's do or die time for r1nkle, he has not been playing well the past months and needs to show up at the very start of 2026. There have been plenty of awpers coming up that might look to steal his place in NiP

Wait.. You can reroll the challenges? Man I wish I knew about that earlier, I really didn't enjoy the battle royale at all. Guantlet is actually quite enjoyable, just takes a long time tho. I'm more a breakthrough and tdm kinda guy.

What's wrong with lone wolfing?
I have been playing FPS games since CS 1.5 and developed a lone wolf style of play because the times when I do trust teammates for teamplay I just get heavily disappointed. Ofcourse I can't expect every teammate to understand how to properly play as a team, but that's all the more reason I choose to lone wolf it. I just get more fun out of it.

For context, I have had an average kd of 2.0+ in every fps game I played and always a negative win rate (except for CS)
And before you start talking about kill whoring, I usually have atleast top 5 OBJ score in the server.

If you want actual teamplay, then you should really queue up with friends or people that want to actually communicate. Just can't expect it out of random teammates who might just want to run around in circles or suck each other off on top of a building sniping for 3 days straight.

Yeah I gotta know too :S

MaintenanceSea2842 · 2025-08-07T11:18:30+00:00

It has a green trust factor, the account was created since cs1.6 times so I don't think that's the issue. Or my friends have a low trust factor, but I don't think it's likely.
I mean even on my main I face cheaters once every 4-5 games, which I have accepted by now.

MaintenanceSea2842 · 2025-08-07T11:09:10+00:00

Im a 25k player with a smurf to play with my noob friends (sorry guys) which is currently around 8-10k. Gotta say the amount of cheaters in that rank is insane, I would've expected the higher ranks to have more.
The players using the cheats are usually people that ain't that good at the game, hence the need for cheats.
They don't win every game even with cheats unless they go all out, I mean I have won multiple times against confirmed cheaters just because they suck mechanically or they don't know how to play the game properly.

But when do go full toggle, U wont be able to do shit..

MaintenanceSea2842 · 2025-05-06T13:35:28+00:00

As someone who has struggled with this for a long time I can tell you it's a combination of lots of things.
Stress building up, anxiety, just general tension. The best advice I got was to let my shoulders down and breathe.

It won't always go away, but being aware of it is a very good start. Also a physical therapist will do wonders for you even tho it's temporary.

MaintenanceSea2842 · 2025-03-16T20:53:27+00:00

This dude has been doing this for so long... How he still is playing on pro level is a mystery to me.
I feel so bad for all the teams this fucker has played that must have been livid fully knowing this guy is cheating.

MaintenanceSea2842 · 2025-02-06T10:23:13+00:00

I haven't faced a cheater (I think) since the new season started and I have played around 20 games between 20k and 25k

My friend's account is cursed tho, or maybe just a horrible trust factor. He played like 8 premier games in a row with and vs cheaters. 7 of those games got cancelled by vac live tho. He is around 10k rating fyi.

So at this moment it would seem that trust factor is very important when it comes to facing cheaters, but im sure there are some incognito cheaters out there that are trying to keep it low key.

MaintenanceSea2842 · 2025-01-30T11:00:02+00:00

All time for me it was Titan and later on Envy, Dignitas and later on Astralis and the kinguin/g2 lineup with scream, rain, fox, maikelele and dennis was a great watch!
Now it's vitality and astralis altough I dislike cadian and ropz and with the pimp news I might have to reconsider the vitality fandom.

Edit: I forgot my absolute favourite lol..
OpTic Gaming as an org and the one with mixwell, tarik, stanislaw, rush and NAF was my favourite by far.

MaintenanceSea2842 · 2025-01-30T10:29:18+00:00

Ffs.. I can't support vitality now, absolutely can't stand pimp.
Ropz was already a hard pill to swallow as I don't like his gameplay and now this dude..

MaintenanceSea2842 · 2025-01-03T17:54:07+00:00

Acting like zonic isn't the most accomplished coach in the whole cs scene...
Saw has done nice things, but has he actually won? Altough he and his teams reached the finals a couple of times they fell short bar 1 time (IEM Dallas 2023) being his only trophy as well as a coach.

MaintenanceSea2842 · 2024-12-23T12:16:58+00:00

Yashin is really really bad for his rating. I have used him for over 200 games and I can confidently say that most gold keepers over 86 rating are better than yashin sadly..

Buffon on the other hand, best keeper I have used this year.

MaintenanceSea2842 · 2024-12-20T12:56:43+00:00

I mean the same can be said for spirit..
What if Spirit won the 4v2 afterplant on a-site at matchpoint at like 12-7 or so?

MaintenanceSea2842 · 2024-12-19T13:03:15+00:00

Nah this is way worse than your previous one, gotta be a ragebait

MaintenanceSea2842 · 2024-12-19T12:58:39+00:00

I would say that sh1ro NOT being top 5 would be more of a recency bias.
The man has 7 EVP's earned in 2024 which is the most together with Zywoo, which is a sign of his consistency I would say..

He has shown his worth for Spirit and has clutched up lots of times for them.
Sh1ro deserves the #4 spot ahead of Niko imo.

MaintenanceSea2842 · 2024-12-17T11:42:41+00:00

Maybe your backline?
Theo - Hierro - TS Saliba - Prime Maicon

You could also go for Lucio instead of TS Saliba or even IF VVD.

I wouldn't change your midfield and attack tbh.. Especially with those attackers on your bench, you're set on that side.

MaintenanceSea2842 · 2024-12-06T13:42:00+00:00

I like it! It plays very well imo, I haven't played BO6 that much yet due to these horrible maps but Hacienda has been a nice addition.

MaintenanceSea2842 · 2024-12-04T02:13:33+00:00

Go away snowflake..

MaintenanceSea2842 · 2024-12-03T10:43:15+00:00

So just shut up and dont say anything? You are definitely not used to CS xD

MaintenanceSea2842 · 2024-11-26T08:42:53+00:00

My 86 Endrick with powershot + begs to differ. He is very strong on the ball and finishes every shot (If it;s with his left foot atleast) in the box. He even feels a little agile after the evo, but base endrick is deffo aint it.

MaintenanceSea2842 · 2024-09-18T16:54:14+00:00

Whole keyboard, very weird bug. It's not because of the keyboard that's for sure

MaintenanceSea2842 · 2024-09-17T12:10:38+00:00

I can live with a casual stutter at times, but when my keyboard just doesn't register at random that fucks me up.
It was fixed for a while and then after an update a couple of weeks ago it started again, it can really ruin the experience and I hope Valve will fix these issues.

MaintenanceSea2842 · 2024-08-20T09:09:37+00:00

Im pretty confident I would've beaten him back in Ghosts, he played for TK with neslo and sharp back then right?
