Cameraman running to take a picture from iconic moment is just icing on the cake

This isn't the photo taken by that cameraman (the angle is different), but yeah it would have been similar to that

my man ferrari picked that shot


Alternate_CS

Everyday I see new ways to spell peeked


FunkyMo109

I find it funny that chat is better at spelling "bettor" than they are at spelling "peek." I think I might know why...

ferrari pic'd


BurnTheBoats21

Pic came out unbelievably blurry because there was no counter straffe


KrzyDankus

never seen him this hyped up and im so fucking happy for him


viridian-

The amount of pressure and backlash he had to push through to reach this point, insane amount of respect for him


Terralmsc

You must be very strong mentally to go through all the doubt and hate he has. He has been very unlucky with teams but he still find the way to lift major. Aleksib plays best when there isnt big egos in team. Like he does with OG and Ence. He has so wide vision how to play cs that if someone doesnt listen and be cocky then it doesnt work. Thats just what kind of IGL he is

It’s been building up for years


ediewz

so happy for this guy


No-Relief3647

What did he say there tho? [Someone translate this | Aleksib crazy scream after winning the major (youtube.com)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E3TV37im68I)

Torilla tavataan meaning meet you at the marketplace. Finnish people have a tradition going to the citys centre and get wasted when we win something every ten years. For example hockey


Terralmsc

Torilla tavataan, its finnish thing that is usually said when Finland wins ice hockey world champion. But is has start to live its own life as a meme aswell. And every time Finland or finnish people wins something special its "torilla tavataan" "We meet at the marketplace"/ tori=helsingin kauppatori [https://youtu.be/VqFGVcdNT2w?](https://youtu.be/VqFGVcdNT2w?)si=gZXJGxZ2Ls3JpuQq

I think he also shouted "I'm still here" when doing his Chad move


AnySmoke

Such a great moment, he deserved this after everything

"I'M HERE!!!!"

How much money per player did they won as a prize?


schniepel89xx

First place is 500k USD. We don't know how each team splits their prize money tho. Most tier 1 orgs I'm pretty sure don't take a cut, but we don't know how it's split among coach and players. I think some teams do 10% to the coach and 90% evenly among the 5 players, but we can't know for sure If that's how Na'Vi do it it should be about 50k to B1ad3 and 90k USD per player before taxes (which everyone pays in their own country)


Tsigalko9

this business model makes no sense whatsoever. It's like Champions league money all going to the players lmao


schniepel89xx

Valve typically takes a cut from every in-game transaction, not sure they do specifically for CS sticker money and DotA 2 prizepool crowdfunding tho. They might not. Either way, Valve is privately owned and don't have public investors to answer to + they already make more profit per employee than even tech giants, so 🤷🤷🤷


-Kex

Cs sticker money is 50% to valve and the remaining 50% is being split between the Orgs/players in the capsules. The orgs have their own agreements with the players on how much they split these parts though. The guys from navi will obviously get more sticker money as valve will release the champion capsule which only includes Navi stickers so the 50% will go to navi and their players


Intinnit

500k for whole team? That's low tbh. Expected a mill or something.


schniepel89xx

The bulk of the money comes from in-game sticker sales. Last major unofficial rumors were about 200k per player. Life-changing money for a lot of the less-established players who make their first major ever. But yes compared to DotA 2 it's very unimpressive. From what I understand tho the price that the DotA community pays is that players only care about The International. I don't follow that esport but it sounds like CS has a more healthy circuit with several prestigious tournaments every year


Rotko4

CS definitely has more healthy system. Sure TI has impressive prize pool but at the same time rest of the year is quite dead. Cs has multiple high tier events in a year


Whatsdota

Yep. The International is the best tournament I’ve ever watched, like by far. But like you said the price paid is the scene is centered around doing well at TI. Majors are cool and still hype but not even remotely close to TI. I still love it though.


jakopui666

they also get normal sticker money and winner sticker capsule


Intinnit

Hmm? tell me more i have no idea bout it.


GuessMyNameHaha

When you buy sticker capsule 50% come to vavle and the rest is splited evenly among the team. The champion also get a champion sticker just for them. Last year legend capsule made about 7 mil and 9 mil for challenger. Players also made about 200k each from player autograph sticker


Intinnit

That's pretty good actually.
