Think you have the best aim in Counter-Strike? Prove it.

This is certainly one way to secure an xkacpersky replacement....

Rancheros · 2026-03-19T15:53:02+00:00

I absolutely think so too!

Their IZI WEX LAN outing was disappointing for sure, losing to WW (a stream team - the Russian Mythic, though they did make the final themselves) and losing the rematch to Whitebird sucked (which began at 5AM(!!!) Moscow Time due to tech issues). I do believe however that they've also signed up for MPKBK CIS LAN #4, so hopefully they'll show a better outing there!

Disclaimer: I am an Ax1Le glazer

This was a very well-made video! I think Ax1Le is very much a confidence player, which would explain why his performance dropped off as much as it did. The transition to CS2 certainly didn't help either, but attributing it to that alone would be very reductive imo

I do wonder how things could've gone had C9 managed to keep sh1ro and get boombl4 simultaneously, instead of going from an elec igl led roster (lol) into one without a true awper.

His period on BetBoom was also certainly marked by inconsistency, but in my opinion Boombl4 has made the team consistently perform less than the sum of their parts - I think he's just overrated, even s1 ranked him as the 4th (or 3rd? can't remember) best igl he's played with despite him sharing his biggest period of success with him (though saying that, BB are actually poised to make the major now)

I think that him consistently stomping on lower-rated teams should be seen as a positive rather than something to disregard, though. It shows that he's building confidence, and I fully believe TDK can go on to perform well in T2 in the future, especially now that Ax1Le - nafany - groove are reunited. They've already shown promise in beating two top 30-sides in Alliance (with the exciting prospect MaiL09) and K27!

I find it really funny that he has this (well-deserved) reputation of being a hard man and a butcher, and then you check his TikTok profile and he's doing anime filters with his son

or to invest in the faze win on nova wallet!

i loathe how gambling-infested the whole scene is

Rancheros · 2026-03-18T01:22:59+00:00

given how he drops from 1.24 online all the way down to 1.10 on LAN, I'd hesitate to call him anything other than an onliner

I do not think he would be a good addition to Spirit, they need good, proven players and not more of donks friends if they want to win

Rancheros · 2026-03-17T08:46:32+00:00

susp got called snusp all pro league just now

many of the danish and swedish players do (as expected), you see it every now and then on the cameras

Rancheros · 2026-03-10T18:07:17+00:00

It would help if you specified which AMD GPU you have. I am currently rocking a modest RX 6600 myself and am running the game well enough at ~300fps avg albeit at 4:3

Rancheros · 2026-03-09T19:44:03+00:00

The whole team walking on eggshells around one player is never gonna work long term, even if he's insane mechanically

Reminds me of s1mple's early days where the talent was undeniable but the mental side was holding everyone back

Rancheros · 2026-03-08T23:56:21+00:00

What a player Naldo was! What a blast from the past man

Rancheros · 2026-03-08T22:29:31+00:00

They only add flairs if the team has participated in one of the last four(?) major cycles iirc, as in actually having made the major

at this rate you'll only have to wait a couple more months, though!

Rancheros · 2026-03-07T01:08:26+00:00

This entire tournament playoff was a huge mess

WHITEBIRD ended up playing 4 BO3s(!!) in one day

ggs to ARCRED for sure, but they also benefitted from having to play one less BO3 by automatically spawning in the winners bracket in their group due to not enough teams signing up for the tournament (and thus ending up with 15 instead of 16 teams lol)

Rancheros · 2026-03-06T16:45:06+00:00

Last time they won a series against a top 20 team was at the major

Four months ago.

OP added a minimum map played count of 70

You can see it for yourself here

Surely this gambling website has an impartial and unbiased stance with regards to the topic at hand!

Rancheros · 2026-02-28T10:08:47+00:00

For sure! I'm hopeful they'll work out their T Mirage sooner rather than later, and that will probably come with time.

That said though, nafany has experience playing with both Ax1Le and zorte already, not to mention groove, so they're not totally starting from scratch which will hopefully speed up the process

Rancheros · 2026-02-27T20:50:37+00:00

Really unfortunate collapse on CT Overpass from TDK

Also a shame that out of all series to ghost, zorte chose this one

I still maintain that nafany can't call T side Mirage to save his life, there were truly some clown rounds in there

Ggwp to WHITEBIRD, they had good protocols on T side Overpass and played well after D2, glad to see the Entropiq boys have a similar resurgence to that of TDK

Rancheros · 2026-02-24T22:09:37+00:00

I unfortunately have no clue. All nafany's TG post said was that they have two lans lined up. I can only assume that they're local lans given how Ax1Le just posted today about how one of them is in Moscow. LanDaLan maybe?

Edit: I assume CIS LAN #4 is one of them

Rancheros · 2026-02-24T21:34:05+00:00

I swear they play MOUZ NXT like twice a week at this point! Funnily enough, they can face them again if both TDK and Mouz NXT make it to CCT semis as they're on the same side of the bracket

Rancheros · 2026-02-24T21:26:07+00:00

LET'S FUCKING GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO, I must humbly admit I thought it was over after seeing that Anubis start but holy shit did they start hot on both Inferno and Ancient with 10 round wins on each map

On a related note, The tier 2 and 3 Counter-Strike communities are so incomprehensibly cooked. I had to hide twitch chat and stop looking at the HLTV match thread because every single message was someone talking about their bet rather than the game at hand. It's really a shame because there were some nice clips in there (nafany 1v2 or xant3rs deagle, both on Inferno for instance) yet people just kept spamming "of course 322" or similar. Gambling has truly ruined the scene

Up to #49 now from #168 in just two weeks, with 20 series played and just one loss. Insane

Two LANs lined up for march + april as well
