🇬🇧 mezii has passed NiKo and s1mple in number of notable trophies: 🇬🇧 mezii: 19 🇺🇦 s1mple: 18 🇧🇦 NiKo: 18







apEX spoke about zonic & Falcons in a recent episode with Thorin: "I think the three biggest people that helped me through that path of IGL are XTQZZZ, Matt & zonic, so I have big respect for Danny. I always defended him as well when people called him a fraud on social, because I know he is not a fraud. I know he's a hardworking person, I don't exactly know why he's struggling that much. Probably the two IGLs he got under Falcons were not top tier, and people underestimate it I think, because you know we always say the same, people will say about me that it's easy, you have the best players in the world, you play with Robin, ZywOo, that's easy, but let's take the example of FaZe in 2017/18, why didn't they win a Major?Because it's tough to manage to make good players play well together. Because if it was easy, every superteam would have worked, the 2017 G2 team would have worked, we would have won Majors as well, so people need to understand that... If I look at Danny, I think he had really great players, but maybe not the right pieces. I expect them now to change with the arrival of karrigan. It's also going to depend on how he makes those things happen, because even though he's a great IGL as well, you never know what can happen, but Danny, I know he's been working hard. It's always tough to have this view from the outside, to not exactly know what's going on in the team to be able to judge, the sure thing is the results haven't been enough, in the last year and a half they won one trophy that was ‘tier 1.5.’ It wasn't an S-tier trophy, it was Bucharest, the last tournament for degster, you expect more from a team like them, there is no doubt, but I think now with karrigan, they might have more sense in the way they play, and also be sure that in tough moments he's going to be there to call in the right way, and that's something that people underestimate, that sh*t, because it's not easy... I actually hope they will be better, because I also want to beat them in those big moments, of course they beat us more than we beat them the last few times, but were those the most important moments? I am not sure.” (via @Thorin's reflections With apEX 1/3)













Le plus drôle avec tout ça, c’est que des gens (parfois même des joueurs ou des analystes professionnels) trouveront encore le moyen de dire que s1mple est toujours le goat de CS et ça même après que Vita aura gagné Cologne.






Any IGL from the top-10 teams could step into apEX’s shoes and Vitality’s level wouldn’t drop by much. karrigan took a team with chrisJ to #1. apEX is a great IGL, but karrigan is not out of conversation because of trophies. This is som HLTV type shit, more trophies = better IGL
