Freelancer btw!
I'd love to make a FULL return in CS2 as a desk analyst and color commentator. I'm also open to doing paid content work.
I'm open to any & all opportunities! I know I have the experience, work ethic, and skills to do great work!
HMU with a DM or email!
The dev1ce situation in CS:GO has to be one of the most awkward mysteries in esports.
Radio silence for over half a year.
Obviously I wish him well if something is still up, but what in the world is going on.
It’s been a sad realization that despite my love for CSGO, I likely won’t be involved in any future broadcasts. I felt I had some unfinished business in CS, but it’s out of my control.
While I wasn’t one of the greats, I do feel I was undervalued and quite unlucky at times.
Imagine in CS:GO:
MR12
Lowest loss bonus is now 1900
M4A4 now 2900, M4A1-S now 2700.
OT is sudden death after 2-3 normal MR3 OT's.
Wanna get real crazy? 5k start money.
We need more gun rounds, less saving, and matches to be shorter AND have a defined max time limit.
Let me get this straight
@csgo
.
You left a bug in the game for years due to your own incompetence. And now you are also punishing innocent coaches who left it be by ceasing their ability to coach during live matches of some of the most important events of the year.
Well done.
How do we exist in a universe where MAD LIONS beats G2 in CSGO?????????????????????????????????????
Look at these rosters, rankings, and results prior to this lol. WHAT IN THE WORLD.
Teams that should be making steel offers in NA Valorant right now:
FaZe, TSM, Gen.G, NRG, Andbox.
This is obviously not considering personality conflicts, who wants to play with who, etc. I can't know those things. These are simply teams that have talent but need direction.
Tired of being treated as some kind of pariah by many in the CSGO scene when I've done nothing to deserve it. I get I've made some errors, I get I am not everyone's cup of tea, and I get maybe I'm just not good enough. But I still feel some of the nonsense I've encountered is BS.
Dropping grenades in CS:GO should only be allowed in freezetime.
Otherwise you wind up having teams stack utility on 1-2 players, have weird fake utility tossing, etc.
I like the spirit of spreading economy to get players utility in freezetime, but it shouldn't go past that.
Can we PLEASE get Vertigo the fuck out of the map pool.
It was ass from day 1. It was given many chances with multiple changes over the years. It’s still ass to this day despite all of them.
It has more than overstayed its welcome.
Get it out. Please. 🙏

"Some of the worst crosshair placement ever seen from a professional player."
This is some of the worst content I have ever seen from an esports site. I guess congrats on baiting clicks but you know fuck all about the game you are doing content for.
Tonight I was asked by
@nerdstgamers
to submit an invoice for the money Pulse owed. They considered it a sort of bonus for the talent's hard work for their events. It was incredibly generous of them, words don't really do it justice. This goes for all talent involved.
Tried to resolve this privately but have been getting strung along as many others involved have been.
@pulse_arena
owes a good chunk of change to all talent involved with Pulse Series. Not sure about teams/players/event staff but I’d imagine it’s similar
I think the crew working on the Valorant NA LCQ is great. Lots of talented folks! However, I admit I'm disappointed not to be a part of it/not even be spoken to about it. I felt I did well with the VCT gigs I did. I got great feedback from peers, production crews, and Riot. 1/2
Dear Esports Teams,
For the love of your deity of choice PLEASE stop naming yourself Ex -(ORG THAT USE TO SPONSOR US) or Orgless, or Teamless, or w/e.
A. It get's confusing.
B. You give free promo to an org no longer supporting you.
C. It looks bad overall.
Thanks!
This is only the 8th time in ~2 years of play that Astralis have been shut out in a series. This is also by far the biggest series loss for Astralis with only 10 rounds combined across the two maps. Also only their 9th nuke loss in 60 games.

From listening to a lot of
@wyattriver_
content I can confidently state that
@ValorantEsports
would benefit massively from having him as a regular on the analyst desk. He’d be one of best immediately and could develop into one of the greats of esports.
Could you please hire some people who are actually in touch with the pro scene and know the space to take care of things instead of the same small, limited crew we’ve had to struggle with for ages. It’s ridiculous this big of an esport suffers due to your errors & lack of support
If I am FaZe I am doing a karrigan/Twistzz entry duo, getting ropz, keeping broky, dropping rain, and then grabbing either an AWP and letting broky rifle or get another solid rifle.
Confirmed, this Na'Vi vs BIG match is the most one sided match in CS:GO Major history, tied with Gambit vs. Fnatic from ESL One Cologne 2016.
#FACEITMajor
Astralis stats are so nasty. Been to 11 events so far as a lineup, made 8 finals, won 6 of those finals, top 4 x2 and top 8 once. One of the top 4's and the top 8 were their first two events. So actually in there last 9 events they made the finals 8 times and won it 6 times. WOW.
Never say never I suppose but I’m done fighting for scraps and being undervalued. If something pops up great, if not, I tried my best.
Time to focus onward. Valorant certainly has given me hope I still have a future as an esports commentator and I’m enjoying the ride so far.
That is the first time Liquid has ever beat Astralis on D2 from the Taco lineup to present, this being the 4th time theyve played it. This is only the second time Astralis has lost D2 ever out of 15 games played on the map. The other being to North at Stockholm.
#IBPMasters
On the other hand, for someone who wasn’t a former pro or anything like that, I did accomplish a decent bit, met some great people, got to travel some of the world, and made some good memories.
Rough day. This day three years ago I lost my mother. We were very close and she always supported me working in esports and chasing my dreams. She was also a great role model for life In general. Love ya mom! Be sure to keep up with your family if you can folks. Means a lot.
Recap of Astralis map stats: 20-0 on nuke (2nd longest LAN streak in all CS:GO history, longest in last 5 years essentially). 21-4 on inferno in last 25 games, 14-5 on overpass, 13-5 on mirage, 8-1 on d2, 7-2 on train. Cache only slight weakness and still 4-3.
Excited to announce I'm the host of a new show for the
@DiscGolfProTour
!
It's called The Scramble and recaps all the key moments from Elite Series events throughout the year
This episode shows all the key stories from the 1st event of 2022!
#discgolf
Astralis has never gotten this low of a T side score on Nuke on LAN when they started T first half. The lowest before this I think was 7 one of the times they played Liquid. Not 100% sure on this one though. This is crazy from ENCE!!!
Steel calls some great CS for ghost. Great layered plays on T for map control and then executes as well as some good coordinated aggression on CT. Also gets value out of players who have struggled elsewhere or are lacking exp. Very underated IGL IMO.
As with anything else in life there were ups and downs and while I could have done without some of the BS I had to face, I am overall glad I took the leap. Who knows what the future may bring, but I do know I grew a lot over time and gave it my all in CS.
Excited to announce I will be serving as an Analyst for
@ESLCS
for Season 10 of the
#ESLProLeague
over in the Americas region. See ya on broadcast later this evening!
I really can't understand NFTs. Why in the fuck are people paying thousands of dollars for a fucking JPEG that is mostly just shitty copy pasted art and honestly borderline stealing art from popular shows and such. Like what am I not getting here?
I want to commentate more video games. I believe
@OnFireVince
does as well. CSGO, Valorant, etc. Let us cast your video games. We’re pretty damn good at the talking about video games deal.
@GatsbyCSGOyt
How long? It's been almost 8 months with no news? It's just sort of odd.
Again I wish him well and at the end of the day it isn't really my business what's going on. But again just a really odd mystery.
@Sliggycsgo
We could immediately tell something had changed. During that inferno game between North and mouz all of us at the NMC were like... "Is there a new obs?"
Well done man keep it up!
I know there will be many people who will have doubts about my return to Counter-Strike. It’s understandable.
Just know I never lost my love for the game, opportunities simply ran dry for me. But mark my words that I will make the most of this chance.
1/2
Ahem... clears throat...taps mic...
@pulse_arena
still hasn't paid ANYONE. It's been 4-5 past due months at this point.
@biggestnuckfan
won't even respond to emails or DMs at this point to try and resolve the issue.
No updates have been given since September.
Get it together
My wish list of people I hope Sentinels explore if TenZ is just too expensive to buyout:

Yay

All depends on what role you want/how Shahzam wants to sit role wise long term.
With my work at the CS2 RMRs done, I just wanted to say I'd love to make a FULL return in CS2 as a desk analyst, color commentator, etc.
I'm open to any and all opportunities! I know I have the experience, work ethic, and skills to do great work!
HMU with a DM or email!
I wish all big CS:GO events had similar in-game integration as the Major where I can watch in game and control what I see but still get caster audio and still count as a viewer for the TO.
@RLewisReports
Oh Richard... I’m so sorry for your loss. I can’t imagine how hard this must be. Take care man and if there is anything I can do or if you just need someone to talk to hit me up. My condolences man.
Some of these NA teams after this Stage need to be looking at
@wyattriver_
for the GM or Head Coach role.
Not many teams have the right management IMO.
Wyatt was nearly the GM of 100T and has a great understanding of Valorant. Many teams could use him.

#VCTNA
Fuck ya mousesports! What a god damn comeback, their biggest series win ever imo. They win CAC 2019 and now they have beaten EG and Astralis to make the Grand Finals of EPL S10. They've finally arrived! Great job dudes!
Incredible scenes.... Liquid have been grouped for the first time after 10 Finals appearances, a Top 4, and two Top 8's. And it comes at the hands of
@grayhoundgaming
on two maps Liquid are very proficient on. An incredible underdog story! A pleasure covering it with
@OnFireVince
Since this tweet is making the rounds again for like the 20th time (HOW?), I must do a cheeky self promo.
Watch some more glorious disc throwing of mine here:
Sadge news on the Valorant front for me today... ugh. Hopefully something turns the corner later on.
Do have a CSGO gig coming soon. Just gotta focus on what I can I suppose.
Was great being part of the NMC again. Was there everyday the last two in row and enjoyed every moment. Thanks for having me
@RLewisReports
@lolbanelor
! Great hanging out with everyone that came by!
@ddkesports
This is disappointing. As a fellow commentator in the space I can freely admit you are one of the greats we have in Valorant and just esports commentary in general. I've looked up to and learned a lot from you over the years. You deserve all the top gigs. Next time hopefully man!
Just like
@OnFireVince
, it’s unlikely I’d work at Blast as I’ve never done LAN for them. However, I worked with their staff on Blast Rising. It was a great time. I respect the changes they’ve made + their production value. But I’d refuse work with them until NEOM deal is solved.
Also, I’d like to take this time to do a little PSA that maybe Valorant coaches should take a look around at what happened next door and avoid fucking around before ruining coaching for everyone.
The last CS LAN I worked was exactly 4 years ago to the day at DreamHack Open Anaheim. Covid hit soon after and I haven’t traveled since.
After all this time, I head to Bucharest tomorrow to play a part in the first CS2 Major. It almost brings tears tbh. So nervous but excited.
Ya this is depressing. It seems Vince and I can't duo for the VCT due to region locking. We've put in a lot of time already as a duo in Valorant over the last few months and have done several jobs together and done well based on the feedback we've gotten. Hopefully things change.
