Remember when
@BARBARRcs
said: "I think Plopski is better than Brollan" and everyone thought it was a joke? Well, we'll get to see a fun duel of youths as they mature in the two biggest Swedish teams now.
Stoked for

to get this opportunity.

I have ongoing health issues stemming from a Covid infection in the first wave, early 2020, including chronic pain. Never had health issues in all my life before, 31-years-old at the time. I'd do/give anything to go back and stop it from happening it.
Since leaving Spain I really miss sobaos. They're a confectionery made with All-purpose flour, White sugar, Pastry butter (AWP) and two big eggs (cojones, in Spanish).
I love sobaos from San Pelayo (pronounced Sun Pelayus) but I'm also really starting to like the Martinez brand.
Frankly, if I were told three days before the Major starts that my coach can't compete because of that one round from years ago, I'd also push back. The timing of this is ridiculous.
alex has been one of the most talented players in Spain since forever. He then became an IGL and called five Spanish bois nobody believed in to their first Major and an IEM Cologne semifinal. Respect from Spanish fans is felt, they are both happy for him and sad he's leaving.
Just to clarify, teams making it out of New Challengers are still New Challengers, not Legends. They will play the Current Legends in the New Legends Stage, and become (New) Legends in the New Champions Stage.
What about the Brazilian superteam? I'm sure you've seen the rumors. Will it work?
"I don't think so. I read the opinion article from Striker, I kind of agree with him."

@krimboCS
could have gone international, but he decided to play for the academy team with the dream of playing for the main team"
You love to see it.
Funny little sidebar that really has nothing to do with absolutely anything unless you believe in lizard people, nexa is player 9618 in HLTV’s database and Aleksib is 9816.
I love The MongolZ's story and I hope they go on to win much more (while elevating their local and regional scenes), but calling Compass an S-tier event is mad. There's no universe in which it exists in the same tier as the Colognes, Katos and Majors
Incredibly underwhelming experience. I hope it can be worked on tonight for tomorrow's show, but this place is turning into a night club a few hours from now, I've been told, so not sure how that's going to happen.
Wrote a feature on
@LuknCSGO
and his atypical path to the ECS Season 8 Finals, so go read!
Thanks to him, his teammate

@Hellpa_csgo
for sharing their stories with me! And as always to
@luismmira
for the idea and tirelessly editing my gibberish.
This
@Renegades
victory is huge for a team that lost a top IGL in February and has only had about a month's time playing outside of their small region during the past year and a half. Insane storyline going into the main event.
Alarm bells ring for me when being transparent and talking to a bunch of independent outlets is not the right way of moving forward, while back channeling and planning a strategy with the "right people" is the move.
I hope I'm wrong.
Sad to hear about
@RpKTANKK
retiring but thus passes worldly glory.
Just over a year ago I published one of my favorite interviews I've done, going through his career up to then. If you missed it, this would be a good moment to remember his exploits!
Incredible run by
@Movistar_Riders
so far at IEM Fall. I was happy with how they played before today and just hoped they'd put on a good show, but making playoffs is actually insane. What an achievement for them and for one of the few Spanish orgs that seriously stuck by CS ♥️
Ahora los jugadores tendrán que matarse de verdad y luchar para sobrevivir. Solo quedarán los más fuertes. Bienvenido sea, mejor tener un par de equipos españoles/portugueses buenos en una liga potente que 10 mediocres en una liga floja.
Con el quinteto francoparlante de Heretics en la Superliga, se repite lo mismo que sucedió en League of Legends: el inicio de la extinción del jugador español de sus ligas.
Y eso que la escena española de LoL era mucho más grande y potente.
F por todos los futuros damnificados.

@dupreehCSGO
went into a lot of detail when answering the questions for his top 20 article, where he gives insight about a lot of the inner workings of a player and a team from a personal and psychological perspective. I highly recommend giving it a read!

Standing on the floor at Riocentro you can still hear the BNE guys shout after they win a round and the arena goes silent. Perfect team to feed off of going against a crazy crowd.
It's super exciting to see a no-name prospect given a chance in a team that will play the biggest events.
Maybe it didn't happen under the best circumstances and will be muy challenging, but you take them as they come. The homie is a grinder and I believe.
¡Suerte, Martinez!
You motherfuckers don’t even know what the real GRIND is, I have been grinding whole my life to get where I am today. I have been grinding when there was no online qualifiers every 2nd week, no Tier2 events to prove yourself anywhere, no faceit or whatsoever.
I remember bodyy's last days in G2 like it was yesterday. Chongqing was such a strange background for everything that was going on and I think I was able to capture a bit of it in the intro. Rooting for DBL PONEY to become France's second team and fight their way into the top 30.
No x-ray in the arena during clutches actually bangs. A bit harder to follow, but the tension build up into climactic moments is so good. You get to really feel how crazy some peeks are.
