Hard work and dedication always pays off boys, you just need to be ambitious enough to seize the moment!

Vitality never did great at Bounty, top teams don’t care as much about it, could be a chance for someone like FURIA to steal a win

@TCynisco Firepower is more than just mechanics

@YNk talking about a decline of firepower, when they add tikuak and Darkmeister... I normaly like your takes, but this just shows you have no clue about those players.

controlez worked out so well while he stood in for them I'm surprised they didn't bring him back Considering firepower was what made MongolZ dangerous, we might see a steady decline from them for the remainder of the year

@packerman120 Cobrazera wasn’t a bad player either but not everyone can deal with the pressure of playing tier 1 CS, I know maaRaa has done it before but how deep can the talent pool really be over there?

@YNk Can't say I'd consider controlez "firepower". Sure, he was fine on Mongolz but tikuak is arguably the hottest prospect on the Mongolian scene and has been much better this year than controlez. DarkMeister the real wild card here, but maaRaa has certainly identified talent before.

@bit1 Congrats!

Sin palabras, amigos. Muchas gracias a todos los que nos bancan y, principalmente, a mi equipo y a 9z por confiar en nuestro trabajo. Hoy podríamos estar en nuestras casas descansando, como otros equipos, pero sabíamos la importancia de jugar este torneo para consolidarnos en la escena Tier 1… y logramos todavía más que eso. No se olviden: en enero empezamos con 0 puntos y hoy estamos en el Top 6 del mundo. Confíen, loco! “En 9z pasan cosas increíbles.” @9zTeam 🙏🏻💜

Rainwaker walked so Jorko could run

They still might, but to be a legit contender, it feels like they need to upgrade on iM Unless they move him to IGL and get someone for Aleksi

This would make BCG a lot more than a marketing project, barring electronic everyone else is very much a solid piece How they all fit together in terms of personalities is a completely different matter though

Wow. Wow. Wow. 39yo Novak Djokovic defeats Felix Auger-Aliassiem 7-6(10), 3-6, 6-3, 6-7(4), 7-6(10-4) to reach the #Wimbledon semifinals for an incredible 15th time. 5h15 There will NEVER exist another Novak Djokovic. Insane stuff.

That’s a steal for Heroic but I’m surprised to see there wasn’t a bigger market for Brollan, think he still has a lot to give outside of the IGL role

@ds69938688 Where did he say this?

@YNk sh1ro говорил, что хочет в 2027 году завершить карьеру. Если не завершит, то его не будут заменять

Sounds a bit far fetched, sh1ro is a big voice for Spirit and his style suits them But who knows what happens by the end of the year if molodoy can keep improving

I hate the word deserve when it comes to competition. But I do believe NiKo will earn his Major one day. And all the losses will only make victory taste that much sweeter.

On one hand, his experience would be a good addition to FUT and his floor is higher than cmtry's On the other, is he really a good fit for their aggressive, slightly wild playstyle? I'm not so sure

@Maj3r_ You can be proud of what you achieved, best of luck with whatever comes next!

ENG Sometimes even the most beautiful stories have to end… and give rise to a new one. This wasn’t an easy decision for me, but I have decided to take a pause in competing and spend more time with my family. Being an IGL was always a great job, but being a dad and a husband is also very important to me, and this is where I want to focus more in the future. Throughout my journey as part of the “Turkish Six,” I gave everything I had to bring my team and my people to the top, and I have nothing to regret. It was a beautiful chapter in our lives. We shared great moments, faced difficult days, worked hard, and went through so much together. After this beautiful journey and all these years of competition, I feel the time has come to dedicate myself more fully to my children and the people closest to me. But I will remain with Aurora, and I have some good surprises to share with you in the coming days. During this journey, we always felt that we had the ongoing support of the 6th player - our fans. And I want to thank all of you for being with us even in the hardest moments. Because of you, we never felt alone and always had the strength to continue climbing to the top. Special thanks to all my teammates during this grind period of life. We’ve faced so many things together, both bad and good, but all of you always acted with respect and did your best to reach our common goal - bring TRCS to the top. Thank you all for that. I also want to thank Erenay, Bekir, and Berker. Sometimes they had to deal with all our stress, emotions, and little mood swings. They were the heroes in the shadows of this story. A special thank you to Aurora as well. This is a remarkable organization. Thank you to Adalet, the CEO of Aurora, who did everything from day one to make us feel at home. And of course, Cenk… the hidden hero of this adventure. Always there for me, always there for us. He tried to solve every problem in the world, motivated us when we needed it, and never left us alone. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. Don’t worry, I’ll still be around. I love you all.

Maj3r really helped put Turkish CS on the map, truly an end of an era, always a great guy to talk to at events too It makes sense for Aurora to start fresh with a new IGL+coach duo if they're going international already

Working on an article about the impact of the new Major sticker system on the economy of CS esports. My DMs are open. Anonymity is offered.

Neo probably isn't rated as high as a coach because he had karrigan as his IGL He's a super smart guy and I think a team with fewer egos will fit him better, Astralis might be onto something here

Jimmy did struggle on MOUZ but I think the Spinx addition made it harder for him to find impact He had a great rookie year in 2024, this could be another good move for Aurora if he can find some of that form again

Falcons truly had the MOST DIFFICULT playoff run to win the major (based on avg. HLTV rank of opponent right before major start). Falcons Cologne: 3.00 (Vitality #1, Spirit #3, Furia #5) Cloud9 Boston: 3.33 (G2 #7, SK #1, FAZE #2) Astralis London : 3.67 (FAZE #6, Liquid #3, NAVI #2) Then there is Vitality in Paris: 27.33 (Into the Breach #27, Apeks #24, Gamer Legion #31)
