DAMNN, Elige's been hitting the gym. Makes me inspired man.

EliGE smiles more in this video than he does on stage through a whole tourney. He’s a different dude when he’s locked in 😂

Mom, can we buy a Johnny Sins?
We have Johnny Sins at home.
Johnny Sins at home 💀

well to be fair it was the only map they won at dallas

[typhoonf]

walking up from ramp as a T with this new change is rough... you gotta check 10 different spots where someone could be sitting. Also... when you're just solo q'ing with a bunch of randoms, you could get away with 1 or 2 smoke lineups on A, whereas, now you need like 3-5 different places smoked off just to get a plant and we know the average prem player won't be throwing a single one.

We have only seen 1 vertigo at Dallas so far. I guess teams felt they weren’t given enough time to prepare.

[robertmarginean]

Honestly, I think these changes might end up giving the CTs even less incentives to fight for the bombsite, because
1. You don't want to weaken your B/mid defense by shifting more people over to A
2. You can deny the plant even more easily than before and it becomes easier to retake the bombsite as well
3. The Ts will have to spend more utility to take the site, so they will have less for the postplant
So you don't really have any reasons to take unconfortable fights to try and hold the site

New vertigo fucking sucks, you can always count on valve to fuck things up

'stale' / 'stagnant' is what we expect from the map health of CS2.

WORST map health of any fps game Ive played in 20 years.

[FinalMorningstar]

maybe call it "short con" (for short connector) because it connects a short to mid

[hobophobiccityplanner]

I think you might see one player playing kinda A rotate/mid. Mid control I think is going to be so much more important now.

[jonajon]

Some some of the new angles across back site now. Heaven can see short. Short can see the back of the catwalk. Awesome.

[No-nrhb]

elige already has a nasty counter to that smoke wall in the pocket fs 😂

[BrownDeluxe]

should have been only the catwalk xD that hole in wall is to much xD

[flapjacktv]

i want the connecter door back on a site tho

[LangleyNA]

EliGE.... Do you... have nade line-ups you want to show? :) What's that grin on your face?

[Liam-cqbg]

Didn’t this guy get eliminated from that big tournament yesterday

[newkindofviking]

I don't know, if it's being Danish, and it might sound like a contradiction, but he's too monotone for me to enjoy he's contnent. I relly like the dude, and I respect him a lot. Clever guy. Warm, in he's own right. But it can sometimes feel lige a chore to get through. But the small golden corns is worth going after!
