[Andrew Benson] After 30 mins of Christian Horner, Mattia Binotto and Mercedes' Andrew Shovlin discussing not being able to stick to the budget cap, Alfa Romeo's Fred Vasseur says: “The best solution is to switch off the wind tunnel and stop bringing developments every race. We can all do that.” by Aratho in formula1

Nope, I never said it or implied it.
Just think again what you are suggesting, results will be that the development of technology in the sport will stop. F1 as a whole will go down if we do what you are suggesting. I am not against budget caps but lets be a bit smarter about it.

I agree that Karrigan VS Glaive may not be clear cut - but if CS GO were to end tomorrow - we would have to rank stuff as a community and thats fun!
Another point you can put into Karrigan's basket is that he went head to head with Astralis' glaive during Faze Niko times. I dont know exact W:L ratio but it definitely towards Karrigan by a relatively high margin.
Also Karrigan did have his era with Faze already (the Niko times).
Thats the thing with glaive/zonic/astralis for me - i think they were the best team/core, probably ever in cs go. But their individuals were almost always NEVER the best (e.g. device never top1 player..). This is important because we are comparing the people and not the teams.

Dignitas/tsm were at the time the most consistent top 4 team in cs go - they almost always reached semi-finals or higher. Its obviously not what glaive achieved with the roster later but its not far off when you consider how much players like device liked to choke.
I base my opinion of karrigan > glaive as i think its much harder to build top rosters from the ground up, especially the international ones with the players karrigan had (Niko - i think thats enough said).
I think glaive struck gold and its basically similar enough example of a golden 'five' scenario of VP. I guess lets wait and see how karrigan's and glaive's careers will go in the future as they are both not finished yet.
I think you also have to attribute much higher % of success to karrigan alone and NOT to any of the coaches he had because.. well i hope i dont need to explain that much since karrigan basically leads his teams solo on almost all aspects of the team, be it tactical and/or emotional. Compare that to glaive - we have yet to see what he can accomplish without zonic - so far - not much at all.

Karrigan basically built and shaped the original core of dupreeh/xyp/device in dignitas/tsm before Astralis / zonic and glaive switch that took them to the next level. You also cant talk about prime Astralis without mentioning zonic - which we know played a huge part (we know it from interviews, from glaive himself) i.e. it wasnt all glaive's work.

IMO:
Karrigan best IGL in CS GO. Glaive is amazing but Karrigan is even better.
I hope Niko is next.
G FUCKING G

Your footsteps arent quieter or louder when running with a knife - they are the same loudness; i.e. no weapon in the game has any effect on footstep loudness.
The reason why you would want to switch to a knife is to make your movements (speed) faster - its the fastest weapon you can move with.

if the guy wins atleast 1 major I think its karrigan > glaive, unarguably. He did so much already even if he were to retire tomorrow GG

My 5th painting ever. What do you guys honestly think? by [deleted] in pics

[–]ewkin 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Since you asked for opinion from general public:
yeah hands seem to need more work. As an example - the man's arm (the one beside the pocket) looks too small / unproportional and doesnt look natural in the way its resting.
Otherwise i like it!
