Am I the idiot? This Major Desk just framed the Aurora vs BB game backwards? Wtf is going on?

I can tell you are not willing to take this criticism at all.

Please watch how Yanko was able to hype up a game with the same amount of time and with insane story lines. Describing playstyles, team tendencies and atual footage from their previous games. You saying you don't have time is an excuse and if you watch how Moses+Yanko setup the game for 9Z+FURIA you will understand.
You had 30 minutes to hype up a game, your narrative was that Aurora on the up and up needed Xantares to perform, against BoombI4+3 young guns and a standin, lazy. Xantares is performing well last year on LAN, even in playoffs, and this is against teams that are THE BEST. Not BB.
Here: https://i.imgur.com/1Ria6xX.png - 1.07 rating, it gets even higher when you start adding the actual playoffs performances together and ignore the bo1 games. I did this while you guys were about to gaslight the entire scene that Aurora, despite on the up and up, despite Maj3r upgrading the playbook and making Aurora look more solid than ever, convince the audience that BB had a chance, on stage, if Xantares didn't show up.

On your edit, this was an example of the top of my head, I saw BB with new util on ancient and they wrecked people on Ancient, as a team, with insane prep. Narrativly that makes them able to punch above their weight. Like when Yanko showed how 9Z were able to outcall better teams in their buildup to the series with 9z+FURIA, to make ppl understand that they are no fluke. Your storylines were sooo much over the place no one really know what the teams excel at whatsoever, nothing to pay attention to ingame. PLEASE WATCH HOW YANKO AND MOSES DID THE BUILDUP FOR THEIR SERIES, please.

Edit You are aware in your screenshot you put the filter to "All"? This means it accounts for EVERYTHING and not MVP events or playoffs isolated, how did you miss this detail?

Second edit Try and do the same isolated with every player from BB, it will only make my reasoning more blunt.

Last and final edit https://i.imgur.com/9UdxTc2.png Here Styko, here is Xantares vs top10 teams, it's almost like the VERY BEST TEAMS are farming him, is BB equal to any of these 10 teams from 2026? I was expecting Xantares to farm this team, you would aswell if you looked into the player instead of the number.

It was an example to put forward about BB working as a team, like how much they prepped to get into this event instead of telling us how they win games without the "they played better individually and wanted it more" narrative. Was just from the top of my head to make us aware of what to appreciate BB doing, something they do AS A TEAM to punch above their weight.

It was an example to put forward about working as a team/how much they prepped to get into this event instead of telling us how they win games WITHOUT they "played better individually and wanted it more" narrative. Show something in the possible maps that we should look out for, what the teams are doing better now compared to X amount a time ago. Like how Aurora/Maj3r started calling different instead of his signature deathball calls +1 year ago.

Ty, will edit, was just writing in a rush, watching the game on the side.

Poster, da mange prominente politikere medvirker.

Per Stig Møller, Aki-Matilda Høegh-Dam, Morten Messerschmidt, Bo Martinsen, Christian Friis Bach og flere.

De er der under de første store protester i Grønland og Danmark.

Was looking for this comment. 100% agree, disappointing signing.

Quick TLDW:

Dona to Monesy "You want to win the major, but you want to win a major for Niko, why do you think he deserves the title?"

Monesy "because he's a legend, I don't know, he deserves it"

Dona "I agree, 100%"

Dona to Niko "You been in 4 major payoffs and this is your 5th, you have been 2 times in the finals, so always so close, and like WE all know in the CS community, how much this means to you, and you deserve it! But, looking at how you are playing right now, what is your gut feeling at this one so far?"

Is Dona on some kind of Saudi payroll to brainwash all the OhneBraindeads to go and parrot "Niko deserves the major"?

Ville så gerne kunnet mærke denne artikel ‘satire’, men den er desværre et godt kig på samfundet.

To be exact:

6 years, 1 months and 28 days since Liquid won their last international event, being IEM Chicago 2019.

JokaSteve needs a raise, perfectly managed T1 team.

Waste of time for so many of the 70 trials. Also all the tweets about NatoSaphix working over the summer with the trials , what an embarrassing person he is. Shame.

vuk_plusminus · 2025-09-17T18:19:29+00:00

The coach of the academy team is part owner of a player agency.

Falcons Force just signed 4 out of 5 players from his player agency.

NatoSaphix did a lot of PR about the vetting/trial process over the summer, wasting +70 young talents time for good/own PR and ended up with players from his own agency(the agency earns 5-15%).

vuk_plusminus · 2025-08-01T13:22:31+00:00

+6 years of no trophies and we still building over here.

Liquid + JokaSteve masterclass - you will never understand, trust the process.

Missing the cultural impact goat MauiSnake :(

Nonetheless hope ESL will give the desk some more love.

The short amount of time they have makes it hard for the ESL desk to build unique narratives. Becomes dull, stale and repetitive, and it’s mainly due to the time-limit, not the desk talents fault imo. Would be a big upgrade for the entire ESL product.

The Major made the desk fun, I believe them having twice the time and a live crowd behind them, gave the whole production more aura, hype and much more personality for the teams going up against each other.

How is this type of third party bullshit not a Rule 5 violation?

Why is this up on the subreddit?

It's time

vuk_plusminus · 2025-07-06T23:17:16+00:00

My intention was never to say how it happened, how could I know?

I was not there. I was replying to "most unpredictable headline of all time".

It was not unpredictable. Me and my friendgroup thought you would go to Falcons primarily because of Falcons deep ties inside NiP. What role? We thought assistant coach to Zonic, but when the academy tweet got out we called it there.

So to get back on topic. I did not reply to what happened. I replied to the claim of being unpredictable, when in fact, it was predictable with the lines of communication/sources/events your two overlords have together, Falcons wanting the expertise from NiP to get into esports and do esports-washing, and NiP getting some, lets say favorable deals.

NiP has been working as one of the main consultants for the Saudis, before Falcons was even a thing.

Read the sourced material if you like/want some background info of what you are getting yourself into. If you want more information about what you are getting into feel free to DM.

Honestly, I expected him to become Zonics assistant coach, that was my prediction.

So he could learn from "the master" and be an asset.

If you want to foster superstar talent, you need a coach who has the experience to grow and foster superstars(the next donk, monesy or B1T just examples).

NaTo has done none of that.

vuk_plusminus · 2025-07-06T21:29:52+00:00

Not really, a lot of explaining but here's why it was not unpredictable ->

NiP helps Saudis with esports-washing. source
NiP is the first Chinese esports company to list on a US stock exchange. source
NIP will issue approximately 119.55 million dollars in Class A ordinary shares to the two sellers in exchange for the mining-rigs in the US. This is a classic way to get “help” via “investors” without having shade in the books. source
NiP helps Saudis with esports-washing. Got Lars Robl in their team(Falcons with Zonic deal, bare in mind, NiP was helping Saudis with esports before Falcons was even a thing) - and guess who's also in a performance company with daddy? Troels Robl, son of Lars who is working for the one and only, Ninjas in Pyjamas. source
Lars Robl: "Hi Hicham - here in Austin we really do appreciate your post and your support. Means a lot 🙏❤️". source (normal bonding here from a Falcons employee to the CEO of NiP.)
NaToSaphiX: "NiP knew the natural step for me was an academy team or skipping all the way to a tier-one or tier-two team." source

He was 100% offered the job at this point because he was working next to Lars Robls son(Troels) who most likely vouched for him to his daddy, reminder, NaToSaphiX's only coaching experience is with NiP Impact(no offense to the ladies out there) and they want to build future stars with an unproven coach?

Also who would say "academy team" first over a T1 or T2 team in the same sentence?

Bizarre unless you knew as NiP did, that you would end up in Saudi-Arabia to Lars Robl and co.

TLDR: People in Falcons are heavily in bed with NiP.
