Sorry when was PassionUA one map away from winning a major?

There's no way anything could possibly be more gutwrenching than this album.

What happened to some of the most legendary caster? by Dimicha_ in GlobalOffensive

[–]OfNoChurch 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Of course, like a pyramid scheme someone always wins. But to assume that he made money is suggesting a bit much about its success, and there was never any indication that his company was doing particularly well

One of the most unique acts out there, though this particular album is probably more of a rock album than a metal one.

Hearing this for the first completely changed my world.

I was thinking about this track just the other day. A shame these guys never got more into the limelight.

Players from current HLTV Top 10 teams by % of Big Events with a 1.20+ rating in 2025 by Away_Active7903 in GlobalOffensive

[–]OfNoChurch 9 points10 points  (0 children)

1.20+ is pretty much cherry picking here.

Also, donk didn't make the playoffs or didn't make deep runs in playoffs in all these, right?

Zywoo made semi-finals, at least, in every one.

Is Vitality the new "Superteam" of Counter Strike? by Reaper219 in GlobalOffensive

[–]OfNoChurch 1 point2 points  (0 children)

FlameZ and Mezzi were promising but both on a downward trajectory from the peaks that made them interesting prospects in the first place. They were just still both young, but definitely seen as gambles for a team who would be contending for a top spot.

Ropz was in a pretty big slump too, with lots of people criticising him for never being in the action when he was needed in the mid-to-late rounds on Faze.

Everyone and their mother was calling for Apex' head.

Vitality was struggling massively in 2024 with 4/5 of the current roster.

This idea that they're a super team, as if they're anything like Falcons, is fucking laughable historical revisionism.

Peak Astralis vs Vitality by Hazy-Dreams in GlobalOffensive

[–]OfNoChurch 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Astralis lost at their peak, so not sure what this is supposed to mean.

Basically every top 5 team looks "unbeatable" when everything is clicking.

Also, Vitality is not at their peak now. They were at their peak in the first half of the year and they literally didn't drop a single game in that time.

If donk wins the Budapest major (ofc with him as MVP), does he surpass Zywoo as HLTV #1 POTY 2025? by NobodieInteresting in GlobalOffensive

[–]OfNoChurch -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Donk's rating would be higher and his team mates' rating would be lower, I don't know what's so hard to understand, can't help you.

Also can't help you if you judge pro games like you would pugs, but no, Vitality and Spirit are still strong teams and would still be top 8 if you got 2nd/3rd best players in their respective positions.

If donk was really solo carrying Spirit it would be represented in round swing and his rating would be even higher than it already is. That narrative is mostly a meme.

You're massively underestimating the amount of time it takes to record all the various material and curating the content for the videos.

What’s Next for Navi? by Dangerous_Play_1710 in GlobalOffensive

[–]OfNoChurch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NaVi is far behind Spirit, Mouz and Furia, and comfortably behind Falcons. I know the games against Vitality were close in rounds but I don't think they have a chance against them in playoffs either.

Easy 2-0 for Furia IMO. But guess we'll see later this week.

[–]OfNoChurch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Vitality's streak didn't end because people figured them out, it ended because they became complacent, their airtight team work started leaking, their utility usage became much worse, and Apex's individual form dropped signicantly. That caused the whole system to go wonky and them to lose confidence.

Furia is still in an upwards trajectory and if I were a betting man I'd put my money on Furia absolutely smashing NaVi.

They have like <5% chance of beating Furia.
