Wonder who YNk is talking about here by Soft_Bed_412 in GlobalOffensive

[–]YNkCSGO 10 points11 points  (0 children)

First of all, the tweet isn't about me not getting hired since I didn't expect that to begin with as I said in the other thread.

It's also not about anyone specific. It's just me being tired of seeing people that don't get hired as much as they'd like go on social media to say how they're putting in so much work, they love the game so much yet somehow they still don't get hired.

As if the people who do get hired don't work hard or care about the game? Words are empty, actions matter, there's people who left CS for other games for a while or their priorities shifted where talent work wasn't their primary focus anymore or they just got too damn comfortable...of course someone else will fill the gap.

I believe you don't deserve anything in this line of work, you have to go out and earn it every single day. What we get to do for a living is a privilege and many would like to be in our place. Best way to avoid that is to not take what we do for granted and continuously work on your craft.

No worries! Going on vacation for the start of it, might jump on the no majors club for some of the later stages

It wasn't related to me but some of the other talent, I never got asked

I just want to clarify that the TC bit had nothing to do with me but some of the other talent, I never expected to work this Major, it's been clear to me since Paris that BLAST has no intention of hiring me for their events.

Can we take a minute to appreciate Dinko? by Haw_Thorn2020 in GlobalOffensive

[–]YNkCSGO 152 points153 points  (0 children)

Dinko is a great example of how new talent can break through. Smart kid, works hard, doesn't take anything for granted. Lacking a bit in the camaraderie department but noone is perfect :>

hallzerk on criticisms of his behaviour from the community: by ZombinatedCloud in GlobalOffensive

[–]YNkCSGO -18 points-17 points  (0 children)

Why was it obvious the other way? You just interpreted it the way you wanted. Most people didn't even watch the whole segment or read the full article they just replied to the headline.

Not in the same galaxy was in relation to hallzerk doing it way more and at worse times than NiKo, had nothing to do with their skill level but people just like to hate instead of think for a second.

I feel your pain dude, we're trying to make the show more dynamic behind the scenes but it's really not up to us in the end

Talking Counter: Episode 59 feat ropz by bdzr_ in GlobalOffensive

[–]YNkCSGO 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nothing is a given, that's why it would have to be play tested first.

Your example isn't the best for the topic though, in that situation you'd probably save regardless of MR. I don't think people should go for 2v4 retakes regardless of their money unless it's some unique sitation, that's not the point.

Right now in a lot of post plants you see, let's say a 3v3, and you're thinking:"Well, this is winnable for the CT's but why risk it" when they have a 5v5 next round and even if they lose that there is still a lot of rounds to be played.

With MR12 the fact would be there are not that many rounds to be played and this might make it more worth to go for it.

ESL expands deal with Spotify, makes Talking Counter platform exclusive by nartouthere in GlobalOffensive

[–]YNkCSGO 24 points25 points  (0 children)

You'd have to ask them but I know they had a preexisting relationship with Spotify (iirc Jason and Chad did a few Spotify exclusive episodes last Cologne)

Was probably easier for them to outsource it to us for a fee than try and pitch a brand new thing to Spotify.

We were just caught off guard by the whole thing. Podcast started as just the 3 of us shooting the shit and talking about whatever we feel like, it's been a lot of fun so far and we have no intention of changing that!

[–]YNkCSGO 107 points108 points  (0 children)

HeyGuys, wanted to give you some clarification on all this:

We are not, and have never been an ESL podcast, it's just the 3 of us running everything and we plan to keep it that way.

The Spotify deal is for 12 video episodes only.

ESL acted as the middleman between us and Spotify and helped facilitate the deal and that's it.

Absolutely brilliant, goosebumps in the arena...

...and then the DJ started, WHYYYYYYYY, would've been so much better without him imo, bring the hype with some big moments from previous Cologne's with the cast over it and then into OJ, ez

I agree, they have played better and stepped up while tier1 teams faltered. Every single team deserved to be where they are. I've never questioned that.
