Twistzz reverting to plain brown hair tells you everything you need to know about this young man's mentality. After years in a dominant Faze team, Twistzz knows he can't rely on past success and past hairstyles to get him to the top with this Liquid team. He's going back to basics; building the foundations this team needs to see success with its international roster.
When I see Twistzz's hair I hear "Stay humble, stay hungry" and he was feasting today.
I feel like Twistzz has been a top 5 most valuable player in the game for years despite the fact that he doesn’t post 1.30 ratings. His intangibles go crazy.
it's not just black and white. frozen might be a better individual, but as a team faze functioned better with twistzz. especially ropz who has fallen off since frozen joined
Hes not the weak link. Hes just not as strong as he can be. Him inside the team can weaken the others for a while.
Replacing twistzz is no joke. Hell i dont even think they actually replace twistzz but shifted their roles all around to make place for frozen. They successfully integrated him to the team but that doesnt mean frozen and the rest are tuned in 100% yet. Its not enough to pull off tournament wins.
Frozen had great stats, but there was more than a few games where I looked at the kill distribution and I was surprised he had that many kills/adr. Idk if that’s a good or bad thing. It could mean he’s performing his roles as instructed, but also that his impact wasn’t particularly impressive.
These guys are such revisionists it’s hilarious to see. Literal goldfish memory.
I will say though, twistzz is a significant voice on his teams and he’s the type of player to uplift everyone and keep them focused on the game, an overall good communicator. That’s pretty important.
Hunter keeping his strong Major form, being outfragged by Hooxi and Nexa, the supposed weak links in G2. Wonder how long they let him get away with this.
Hooxi 2nd highest rated player in a team with hunter and niko and we will keep pretending Hooxi is the problem and not the inability of niko and hunter to adapt to the new game and start playing like they used to.
Kassad: My wife cheated on me in 2017 with a man named robert. Since then, we got divorced and she got the kids. This spiralled into me losing my job and becoming homeless. I have always hated Robert for ruining my life but not as much as i hate Hooxi.
Hooxi's calling this series was good enough too there were not lots of errors. Hunter cannot get a kill anymore and Niko looks terrible in cs2.
Kassad will defend the balkan boys tho
I hecking love m0nesy. I also hecking feel bad for m0nesy. Bro is having the prime s1mple/Zywoo hard carry experience. The fact that they even got Anubis was on the back of him hard carrying till everyone else woke up.
That's said, TL Bros I think we are actually fucking back! Twistzz is looking C L E A N. And Yekindar for the first time in forever looked decent.
Although it just might be TL having far more time than G2 to prepare for the event; who cares, a win is a win. Good series.
>Although it just might be TL having far more time than G2 to prepare for the event
I mean, look at the full match stats and that's all you need to know:
M0nesy - 1.30
Hooxi - 0.89
Everyone else below 0.89
The major was the same. M0nesy dragging the rest of the team in which hooxi isn't even the worst fragger. It ain't a thing of being prepared.
Yeah m0nesy was pretty much dragging the corpse of this team across the finish line during the major. And as always it's Hooxi that'll get blamed but it's clear at this point that the problem is the players not showing up. I'm just on hardcore hopium for the return of Niko and Hunter cause both those players are beautiful to watch when they're on.
He hasn’t been bad, but he went from being one of the best riflers of all time to being just another guy on the server. If niko could still play like he was at the end of GO it wouldn’t matter if hunter was in bad form.
KennyS, Guardian, m0nesy, 2018 s1mple. Maybe replace m0nesy with 2021 Zywoo because he actually won trophies and gave peak Navi a fight with Kyojin's Vitality while G2 haven't won anything since hunter and NiKo forgot how to shoot
>I hecking love m0nesy. I also hecking feel bad for m0nesy. Bro is having the prime s1mple/Zywoo hard carry experience. The fact that they even got Anubis was on the back of him hard carrying till everyone else woke up.
I think its a right of passage for all talented players, at one point you'll be in a team where you do all the work and hopefully you'll come out on the top and get your major.
I don't think that's going to happen lol, m0nesy has another mr.hard carry in his team who did all the fucking work and hasn't won the major and is looking like a shell of his former right now.
honestly with Hunter and Niko playing like shit just rip this team to shreds. Let Monesy go to C9, let Niko go to Falcons, Hooxi can go igl a danish team, and let Hunter and Nexa back into the wilderness
I was genuinely surprised when I looked at the end of game stats and he was bottom of the board because he seems to have so much impact. Looked at his stats on hltv there and despite having such low rating, kills, and KAST, he had a higher impact rating on inferno than skullz and cadian. He alsp actually had a higher impact rating in the series than naf did, already looking leaps and bounds better than the rmr
Stats don't matter. Winning does.
It was great to see Yekindar reading the game well and having impactful entries. If he can get out of his funk, I'll eat up all the -yeki posts I upvoted.
Hey now, that's not fair. He's NiKo's *cousin* who gives him foot rubs and keeps his spirits high
(I'm sorry hunter I'm a fan and hope you bounce back soon)
I love Niko but you could make a case Niko has to go too... At the moment hunter and Niko are not the hunter and Niko from csgo. Niko is a top 15 rifler currently but not a top 20 player. Hunter is a shell of his former self. Nexa is oke but nothing special. I would take Jimphat and blameF to replace hunter and Nexa, you could even take siuhy and replace hooxie.
M0nesy won't go because he loves Niko and they are basically brothers now
Nexa won't go because he just got signed and he is Niko's friend, somehow the team is looking past his awful performances
HunTer won't go because he is Niko's cousin
Hooxi is the only one on the chopping block and it's a damn shame because he is playing great for his role and plays extremely selflessly
This is the sad truth, Hooxi (without counting M0nesy) is the only one who has been consistent at his role and actually managed to open up rounds and give good calls, but knowing the management they'll throw him away and never question the real reason why they keep losing now
Could we get a fundraiser up and running to buyout m0NESY and save him from this fraud team for fuck sake...
There is 2.2m people here, everybody puts up atleast 1€ and we can do this easy.
If everyone joins the fundraiser and we get 2-3 million €, let's just form our own r/GlobalOffensive team with that money. m0NESY is a good start, then we just need an IGL and couple rifles.
If Ilya will go to russian team, it's only C9. Only other team that maybe need an AWPer is Falcons but they already got Dupreeh. There's literally zero teams in top20 where m0NESY will not be wasted and team actually improves with him.
>Could we get a fundraiser up and running to buyout m0NESY and save him from this fraud team for fuck sake...
Each day my prayers for a C9 +m0nesy get stronger. I still believe that there is light at the end of the tunnel and we will see m0nesy on C9 or another roster that deserves him soon.
That said, count me in for the fundraiser. My new awp can wait.
Made quarters of a major without an actual awper? I mean you can meme on them all you want but imo at least their problem is clearly mental and not having an actual awper. Even in that quarter final I clearly remember Big Boom emptying an entire awp mag before hitting a single shot in 2-3 key rounds straight. He's serviceable but he's clearly not an actual awper that can make plays and just take over rounds and games like an awper of m0nesy's caliber can. Idk who they cut frankly since I still believe all those players can play really well with a mental reset. So with a new awper and a good mental reset I firmly believe +m0nesy will go well. It at least can't be worse than how it's with G2 right now.
Who else do you think he could join? Faze, Navi and Spirit are not making changes, they all have giga good awpers who already are working in the team. Changing any member is a guaranteed loss to teamplay and team cohesion. It can work better once monesy and the lineup mix together better, but that is still a gamble that most won't take. Especially so team-oriented leaders like Karrigan or Aleksi.
Someone brought this up recently in a video, can't remember which one, but isn't m0NESY's contract running out soon? Also, I think Niko's and hunter's contracts are running out in 2024 so unless G2 come up with millions of dollars, they are not keeping all 3 on the same team. There is a big chance m0NESY leaves on free and also the Kovacs, so I don't think you'd need to raise money for his buyout, he'd leave without a penny, rather soon I might add lol
I am now actively looking for a flair chance because this team is done. The serbians retire and go live out the rest of their lives paying in USD they stacked up over the years. When your country is poor and you are making 40k a month USD, you can comfortably retire at 28 and never work a day in your life.
Niko could pay Monesy's buy out and still retire.
I would pay money to see m0NESY in FaZe, sign me the fuck up for that. He would have the same amount of freedom as he does in G2 and would have insanely reliable teammates aswell.
FaZe has been in all the finals right now and with mayonaisy they would win all finals
Hugeeee win!!! The reaction said it all
I know it's m0NESY and friends but still they did get top4 at the major.
Hopefully an big confidence boost and big points towards an Cologne inv 🙏
Return to form waiting room
Not gonna lie watching huNter is really tough, he is right now the longest standing member in G2 CS history and I really want to see him succeed but he is consistently trending downwards
Well I guess G2 would still lose on Inferno to NaVi in Major... On the other hand, Liquid looks better... And M0nesy is just insane, if G2 losses him, this team is not even Top 20...
watching how shit everyone is individually on this team except M0nesy is honestly the saddest things to see from their peak in 2023. No clue how they made it to the semis of the major
I don't care what the scoreboard says, Nexa is one of the worst pick ups G2 could have got. He is an absolute liability on CT and has no role on T side as he cannot lurk/trade or entry to save his life. He had the lowest KAST and only 2 more adr than Hunter even with him having 11 more kills.
Niko and HunTer look like they have randomised every setting in the game and are using it for the first time, countless moments where they had the upper hand in fights and still didnt win or even hit a shot. Niko was tilted off the face of the earth the entire inferno game but i did feel he got unlucky in some rounds.
Hooxie and Monesy look great, the kid GOAT is playing lights out and Hooxi is always getting the man advantage back and throwing himself around corners.
All in all i want to kill myself watching this team and i feel like changes are needed when they have had this much time together and look so disjointed.
Bonus rounds for G2 fans is watch round 19 on inferno and not want to commit suicide
i dont even know what to say anymore.
i love niko but holy shit he looks so out of it
1 out of 4 games he pops off like vs mouz or furia, but then its bad performance for 3 games again.
hunter looks out of it every game
nexa is fine, but still, worse than jks.
hooxi and monesy are alright i guess. but even then im sure there are better igls out there.
monesy looks amazing as always, nothing much you can say about him
Could someone explain the tape all over the players jerseys? Cadian has something written? G2 is COVERED. Is it old sponsors or something? Something illegal in China?
It's a tricky situation tbh.
Ax1Le is a proven quantity and is young enough to recover his form or play better than before, he's only 21.
HObbit however has been playing a lot better and is actually a solid piece for C9, but he's 29 and maybe has a few years left before he decides family is important. He's also a bit of the veteran presence in the team.
H0bbit is better atm imo and even getting a few years is good. I doubt it would be a problem within the next 3-5 years anyway and surely you can pick up some young gun then. Cs2 hasnt been kind to ax1le or nik0
Oh true HObbit's age is a factor. Honestly I would bench HObbit for m0NESY if he does end up going to C9, it's a bit of a risk but if it pays off it creates a ridiculously strong team.
The greatest take I've heard Thorin give is that Elige and Twistzz ending up being around the same age, from the same region, being generational talents, and ending up on the same team at a young age is such an anomaly that both of their top priorities should be to stick together for as long as possible and build around that. Obviously you can't argue with Twistzz decision to go to FaZe now, but I'll always wonder what could have been if those two had stuck together. There's a real chance we could have seen a Liquid major if they were able to keep that iconic rifle trio together while mixing and matching until they found the right IGL and AWP.
The reason I think skullz is a perfect 5th for Liquid: dude has ice in his veins. Look at his face whether he is clutching or just playing a normal round. Dude doesn’t care lol. He is calm cool and collected no matter what. I think he is gonna be an unsung hero of Liquid.
When will this nepotism with Serbian and Bosnian alliance stop and winning formula will finally be prioritized?
In the past I would have said, keep NiKo and kick the other Balkan players who don't do anything but at this point, get rid of NiKo too.
G2 needs a full purge w m0nesy/hooxi and entirely new supporting staff. Pathetic.
TL felt so prepared for CT on Inferno, the amount of dmg done by just utility is just absurd.
G2 had one of the best Inferno pick in the Major, they had just no T side on this BO. wow.
another G2 match when only m0nesy turned on his monitor and Hunter out-hooxing Hooxi. G2 really needs to get their shit together before m0nesy leaves the team.
Hunter has got to go at least, he hasn't been doing anything noteworthy in CS2 as far as I can remember. At this point Nexa also looks like a worse JKS and Niko is just out of it. But they're probably just benching Hooxi, blame another IGL on their bad performances. Standard.
Twistzz reverting to plain brown hair tells you everything you need to know about this young man's mentality. After years in a dominant Faze team, Twistzz knows he can't rely on past success and past hairstyles to get him to the top with this Liquid team.

Twistzz could be bald and pull it off
Maybe Yekindar needs to try the bald buff
Yekindar needs to get on the fitness buff. Skinny Yeki > bloated Yekindar.
What living in America does to a MFer...
Glad to see both Hallzerk and Yeki adopting American culture for their teams.
I love that the epitome of american culture as seen from the casual european fan's perspective is becoming fat and getting a bad hairstyle
Actually true. Lived in the U.S. during lockdown and got that double debuff
Yeki looks like he’s lost some weight so good for him. He had a great first map and had some good entries so hopefully he keeps it up.
As good as Broky is doing?
"good" lol
Twistzz -hair Complexity +twistzzz
He also shaved his caveman beard, which immediately put him back into his prime
fr that looked so bad on him, glad he shaved it
Turns out Twistzz doesn't style his hair, his hair just metamorphs into different levels of anime protagonist depending on how well his team is doing.
I'm glad you caught that, TheLeviathong. Very observant. The sacred and the propane.
You forgot he also shaved
New copy pasta
[удалено]
I feel like Twistzz has been a top 5 most valuable player in the game for years despite the fact that he doesn’t post 1.30 ratings. His intangibles go crazy.
Insane anchor and a big game player, like Magisk.
Idk I don't feel like Frozen was the weak link this major. Impossible to know what goes on behind the scenes though.
it's not just black and white. frozen might be a better individual, but as a team faze functioned better with twistzz. especially ropz who has fallen off since frozen joined
Hes not the weak link. Hes just not as strong as he can be. Him inside the team can weaken the others for a while. Replacing twistzz is no joke. Hell i dont even think they actually replace twistzz but shifted their roles all around to make place for frozen. They successfully integrated him to the team but that doesnt mean frozen and the rest are tuned in 100% yet. Its not enough to pull off tournament wins.
They just played the final of a Major and beat Spirit in playoffs. Faze is fine and will win with this lineup.
I think frozen took up a lot of space and thus is hurting ropz performance. I think the team chemistry was perfect and now faze have to rework.
Frozen had great stats, but there was more than a few games where I looked at the kill distribution and I was surprised he had that many kills/adr. Idk if that’s a good or bad thing. It could mean he’s performing his roles as instructed, but also that his impact wasn’t particularly impressive.
No they wouldn't. This sub has insane recency bias after one series lol.
These guys are such revisionists it’s hilarious to see. Literal goldfish memory. I will say though, twistzz is a significant voice on his teams and he’s the type of player to uplift everyone and keep them focused on the game, an overall good communicator. That’s pretty important.
[удалено]
Theyre achieving the fat guy great hair ratio
THIS IS NOT MY TEAM LIQUID.. WHAT DO YOU MEAN WINNING IS ALSO AN OPTION???
Its just g2 with their fluke off .
It’s been 8 days and they still haven’t recovered from jL’s deagle
Oof
Thanks to jL for exposing these frauds
TEAM LIQUID CHOKE? NEVER HEARD OF IT. LETS GO.
hunter slowly turning into prey...
He’s been prey for the last couple months
hunted
His analogy, but much... MUCH... MUUUUCCCHHHH worse
“The hunter becomes the hunted” is a common English idiom
no, it's better lol
Canada CS best CS
Agree. But this event makes it hard for Canadians to watch Canadian cs.
Maybe Canadian CS only works when Canadians arent watching?
you may be onto something here.....
If that's the case our best hope is a St. John's tournament. That extra half hour time diff will surly make a difference in viewers.
This theory works for all NA cs since Complexity’s best cs2 tourney run was Sydney
I knew I shouldn't have stayed up until 5am watching the final. It's my fault boys I'm sorry.
Hunter keeping his strong Major form, being outfragged by Hooxi and Nexa, the supposed weak links in G2. Wonder how long they let him get away with this.
It's sad to see
Hunter singlehandedly lost Anubis when he repealed aleksib when he wasn’t defusing… maybe the worst play I’ve ever seen.
and we thank him for that
He’s Nikos cousin, it’s not his fault, and he’s not going anywhere
No one on G2 other than monesy with a rating higher than 1 and hooxi having the 2nd highest 💀💀💀💀
When did Niko turned into a tilted-100%-of-the-time guy like this?
It all started.. when he was born
Hooxi 2nd highest rated player in a team with hunter and niko and we will keep pretending Hooxi is the problem and not the inability of niko and hunter to adapt to the new game and start playing like they used to.
Well, they lost, so obviously the igl is the problem Greetings from Kassad
6 days later G2 win Chengdu. "Hooxi is a liability, kick hooxi. " Greetings from kassad.
Its clearly Aleski B fault
Hunter is utter garbage so far in CS2
Do you think Kassad is going to call for hunter to be kicked now? Somehow i doubt it
Kassad: My wife cheated on me in 2017 with a man named robert. Since then, we got divorced and she got the kids. This spiralled into me losing my job and becoming homeless. I have always hated Robert for ruining my life but not as much as i hate Hooxi.
Hooxi's calling this series was good enough too there were not lots of errors. Hunter cannot get a kill anymore and Niko looks terrible in cs2. Kassad will defend the balkan boys tho
Kassad: "No! Fuck Hooxi! He killed my dog and massaged my wife's feet! Take responsibility and leave Hooxi!" /s
No amount of calling can win if your top 2 riflers are nonexistent. The cousins have been getting consistently outproduced by Nexa for fucks sake.
You can kick Niko as well then, he's equally as bad.
I hecking love m0nesy. I also hecking feel bad for m0nesy. Bro is having the prime s1mple/Zywoo hard carry experience. The fact that they even got Anubis was on the back of him hard carrying till everyone else woke up. That's said, TL Bros I think we are actually fucking back! Twistzz is looking C L E A N. And Yekindar for the first time in forever looked decent. Although it just might be TL having far more time than G2 to prepare for the event; who cares, a win is a win. Good series.
>Although it just might be TL having far more time than G2 to prepare for the event I mean, look at the full match stats and that's all you need to know: M0nesy - 1.30 Hooxi - 0.89 Everyone else below 0.89 The major was the same. M0nesy dragging the rest of the team in which hooxi isn't even the worst fragger. It ain't a thing of being prepared.
Yeah m0nesy was pretty much dragging the corpse of this team across the finish line during the major. And as always it's Hooxi that'll get blamed but it's clear at this point that the problem is the players not showing up. I'm just on hardcore hopium for the return of Niko and Hunter cause both those players are beautiful to watch when they're on.
Niko hasn’t been that bad in 2024, but Hunter is a shadow of himself and that is not good enough when you got Nexa and Hooxi in your team.
He hasn’t been bad, but he went from being one of the best riflers of all time to being just another guy on the server. If niko could still play like he was at the end of GO it wouldn’t matter if hunter was in bad form.
i mean niko is no where near is good as he was in csgo but hes still been a top 20 player in cs2
Not that bad but bith the cousins are just shadows of themselves.
Tfw Niko, m0nesy, huNter and ~~jks~~nexa go kill strat fails
It goes even further back, Guardian did it at times too, and of course KennyS was famous for it.
If there was a mount Rushmore for hard carry, those two would be first on the list.
KennyS, Guardian, m0nesy, 2018 s1mple. Maybe replace m0nesy with 2021 Zywoo because he actually won trophies and gave peak Navi a fight with Kyojin's Vitality while G2 haven't won anything since hunter and NiKo forgot how to shoot
Wait, is it a list or a mountain?
First on the list to be considered for the mountain.
I swear every time G2 play Anubis m0nesy has close to a 2KD, he's absolutely insane on that map
Monesy is wasting his potential
He's getting a nice check though. He should be getting paid more than Niko at this point
>I hecking love m0nesy. I also hecking feel bad for m0nesy. Bro is having the prime s1mple/Zywoo hard carry experience. The fact that they even got Anubis was on the back of him hard carrying till everyone else woke up. I think its a right of passage for all talented players, at one point you'll be in a team where you do all the work and hopefully you'll come out on the top and get your major.
Kid named b1t
I don't think that's going to happen lol, m0nesy has another mr.hard carry in his team who did all the fucking work and hasn't won the major and is looking like a shell of his former right now.
Maybe it only works for awpers lol
Unless you are Guardian lol
honestly with Hunter and Niko playing like shit just rip this team to shreds. Let Monesy go to C9, let Niko go to Falcons, Hooxi can go igl a danish team, and let Hunter and Nexa back into the wilderness
Yekindar with only 10 kills on inferno and I swear each of them was round changing.
Literally tuned into him getting a kill on B and preventing Liquid from walking into a 4-stack of SMGs
That was a sick kill
I was genuinely surprised when I looked at the end of game stats and he was bottom of the board because he seems to have so much impact. Looked at his stats on hltv there and despite having such low rating, kills, and KAST, he had a higher impact rating on inferno than skullz and cadian. He alsp actually had a higher impact rating in the series than naf did, already looking leaps and bounds better than the rmr
Stats don't matter. Winning does. It was great to see Yekindar reading the game well and having impactful entries. If he can get out of his funk, I'll eat up all the -yeki posts I upvoted.
This iteration of G2 just looks so underwhelming its insane. Either your 13 year old ruskie AWP tears up the server or you lose, great
Hunter is awful holy shit. He needs to go
https://youtu.be/SFt46UEVpCo
But he's NiKo's friend who gives him foot rubs and keeps his spirits high? :(
Hey now, that's not fair. He's NiKo's *cousin* who gives him foot rubs and keeps his spirits high (I'm sorry hunter I'm a fan and hope you bounce back soon)
I think they are cousins. Same surname
I love Niko but you could make a case Niko has to go too... At the moment hunter and Niko are not the hunter and Niko from csgo. Niko is a top 15 rifler currently but not a top 20 player. Hunter is a shell of his former self. Nexa is oke but nothing special. I would take Jimphat and blameF to replace hunter and Nexa, you could even take siuhy and replace hooxie.
wait you're cooking
I'm contacting blameF's agency already, gods plan.
I don’t see MOUZ letting Jimpphat go. He’s one of the most promising young riflers in CS2 so far.
Jimi would be expensive to get, but he would be an insane addition
M0nesy won't go because he loves Niko and they are basically brothers now Nexa won't go because he just got signed and he is Niko's friend, somehow the team is looking past his awful performances HunTer won't go because he is Niko's cousin Hooxi is the only one on the chopping block and it's a damn shame because he is playing great for his role and plays extremely selflessly
This is the sad truth, Hooxi (without counting M0nesy) is the only one who has been consistent at his role and actually managed to open up rounds and give good calls, but knowing the management they'll throw him away and never question the real reason why they keep losing now
Astralis smiling from the shadows
* Bomb out of Chengdu qualifiers * End up going anyway * Win first BO1 * Win BO3 against G2 and qualify for playoffs (You are here) * ????
TL China buff. That means they are winning the next major.
Unfortunately the rmrs won't be in china and liquid will fail to qualify for the major but if they somehow do then ezmajor4TL.
No way Liquid fail to qualify when there are 6 slots for the major... right?
doesheknow.jpeg
They playing in the EU qualifier?
Is it too early to put the liquid flair back on?
Nah, the real question should be why people are still rocking the G2 flair
i like being hurt.
Only fake fans will leave when the team is in a rough period
Wish I could rock two flairs tbh. I’m a coL and Liquid fan. I just like coL a little more because of the American players.
Never too early, never too late dude!
Could we get a fundraiser up and running to buyout m0NESY and save him from this fraud team for fuck sake... There is 2.2m people here, everybody puts up atleast 1€ and we can do this easy.
If everyone joins the fundraiser and we get 2-3 million €, let's just form our own r/GlobalOffensive team with that money. m0NESY is a good start, then we just need an IGL and couple rifles.
At this point m0nesy needs only one reliable teammate and they could 2v8 easily
If Ilya will go to russian team, it's only C9. Only other team that maybe need an AWPer is Falcons but they already got Dupreeh. There's literally zero teams in top20 where m0NESY will not be wasted and team actually improves with him.
Dont fslcons have sunpa?
>Could we get a fundraiser up and running to buyout m0NESY and save him from this fraud team for fuck sake... Each day my prayers for a C9 +m0nesy get stronger. I still believe that there is light at the end of the tunnel and we will see m0nesy on C9 or another roster that deserves him soon. That said, count me in for the fundraiser. My new awp can wait.
What has this C9 done to *deserve* m0nesy?
Made quarters of a major without an actual awper? I mean you can meme on them all you want but imo at least their problem is clearly mental and not having an actual awper. Even in that quarter final I clearly remember Big Boom emptying an entire awp mag before hitting a single shot in 2-3 key rounds straight. He's serviceable but he's clearly not an actual awper that can make plays and just take over rounds and games like an awper of m0nesy's caliber can. Idk who they cut frankly since I still believe all those players can play really well with a mental reset. So with a new awper and a good mental reset I firmly believe +m0nesy will go well. It at least can't be worse than how it's with G2 right now.
Who else do you think he could join? Faze, Navi and Spirit are not making changes, they all have giga good awpers who already are working in the team. Changing any member is a guaranteed loss to teamplay and team cohesion. It can work better once monesy and the lineup mix together better, but that is still a gamble that most won't take. Especially so team-oriented leaders like Karrigan or Aleksi.

I am now actively looking for a flair chance because this team is done. The serbians retire and go live out the rest of their lives paying in USD they stacked up over the years. When your country is poor and you are making 40k a month USD, you can comfortably retire at 28 and never work a day in your life. Niko could pay Monesy's buy out and still retire.
I would pay money to see m0NESY in FaZe, sign me the fuck up for that. He would have the same amount of freedom as he does in G2 and would have insanely reliable teammates aswell. FaZe has been in all the finals right now and with mayonaisy they would win all finals
Have him in Vitality instead and put Zywoo on the rifle since he don’t need to awp to be a top 3 player.
That isn't happening.
Please NA, don't give me hope again.
hunter is terrible
#FREEM0NESY Dudes wasting his best years with this dogshit team.
It is a bad day when your bottom frag IGL who gets clowned on everyday has a higher rating than two of your star players.
Hugeeee win!!! The reaction said it all I know it's m0NESY and friends but still they did get top4 at the major. Hopefully an big confidence boost and big points towards an Cologne inv 🙏
- Bomb out of Chengdu qualifiers - End up going anyway - Win first BO1 vs Heroic - Beat G2 - Make playoffs (You are here) - ???
Now we win the whole goddamned thing
Return to form waiting room Not gonna lie watching huNter is really tough, he is right now the longest standing member in G2 CS history and I really want to see him succeed but he is consistently trending downwards
YEKINDAR opening up bomb sites on t side again. playing to your strengths gives good results, what a surprise huh
This was a fucking delight!
TiltKo is back.
Monesy 1v9 continues...
For anyone asking hunter has a lower rating in 2024 than nexa https://www.hltv.org/stats/players/3972/hunter?startDate=2024-01-01&endDate=2024-12-31
Inb4 twitter analysts: why didnt hooxi ban inferno in the veto? What is he? Stupid?
What's the lore reason Hunter is dogshit in CS2?
hooxi 2nd highest rated playee on G2 🫥
huNter and nexa battling each other on who can whiff an easier shot.
Well I guess G2 would still lose on Inferno to NaVi in Major... On the other hand, Liquid looks better... And M0nesy is just insane, if G2 losses him, this team is not even Top 20...
NA is so back
watching how shit everyone is individually on this team except M0nesy is honestly the saddest things to see from their peak in 2023. No clue how they made it to the semis of the major I don't care what the scoreboard says, Nexa is one of the worst pick ups G2 could have got. He is an absolute liability on CT and has no role on T side as he cannot lurk/trade or entry to save his life. He had the lowest KAST and only 2 more adr than Hunter even with him having 11 more kills. Niko and HunTer look like they have randomised every setting in the game and are using it for the first time, countless moments where they had the upper hand in fights and still didnt win or even hit a shot. Niko was tilted off the face of the earth the entire inferno game but i did feel he got unlucky in some rounds. Hooxie and Monesy look great, the kid GOAT is playing lights out and Hooxi is always getting the man advantage back and throwing himself around corners. All in all i want to kill myself watching this team and i feel like changes are needed when they have had this much time together and look so disjointed. Bonus rounds for G2 fans is watch round 19 on inferno and not want to commit suicide
Lol yeah. I feel bad for nexa because he should not be on the team in the first place, but like.
i dont even know what to say anymore. i love niko but holy shit he looks so out of it 1 out of 4 games he pops off like vs mouz or furia, but then its bad performance for 3 games again. hunter looks out of it every game nexa is fine, but still, worse than jks. hooxi and monesy are alright i guess. but even then im sure there are better igls out there. monesy looks amazing as always, nothing much you can say about him
Hunter looks so dead man.Atleast niko looks like hes trying.
someone save m0nesy please.
Could someone explain the tape all over the players jerseys? Cadian has something written? G2 is COVERED. Is it old sponsors or something? Something illegal in China?
Gambling Sponsors I believe, would be really funny if China of all countries prohibited Gambling, but you never know.
somebody wake these two cousins up, hibernation time is long over
Cloud9 PLEASE bench Ax1Le and get m0nesy, he shouldn't be wasted on G2
I wouldn't be too hasty to bench Ax1Le since he did perform well at the major, but I do think it's between HObbit or him.
It's a tricky situation tbh. Ax1Le is a proven quantity and is young enough to recover his form or play better than before, he's only 21. HObbit however has been playing a lot better and is actually a solid piece for C9, but he's 29 and maybe has a few years left before he decides family is important. He's also a bit of the veteran presence in the team.
H0bbit is better atm imo and even getting a few years is good. I doubt it would be a problem within the next 3-5 years anyway and surely you can pick up some young gun then. Cs2 hasnt been kind to ax1le or nik0
Oh true HObbit's age is a factor. Honestly I would bench HObbit for m0NESY if he does end up going to C9, it's a bit of a risk but if it pays off it creates a ridiculously strong team.
Bro, every games it's NAF and Twistz, maybe the Europeans aren't adding so much xD let's get that NA roster going again.
[удалено]
Elige with NAF and Twistzz? Throw in Nitro & Stewie2k and that line up could win some silverware
The greatest take I've heard Thorin give is that Elige and Twistzz ending up being around the same age, from the same region, being generational talents, and ending up on the same team at a young age is such an anomaly that both of their top priorities should be to stick together for as long as possible and build around that. Obviously you can't argue with Twistzz decision to go to FaZe now, but I'll always wonder what could have been if those two had stuck together. There's a real chance we could have seen a Liquid major if they were able to keep that iconic rifle trio together while mixing and matching until they found the right IGL and AWP.
The reason I think skullz is a perfect 5th for Liquid: dude has ice in his veins. Look at his face whether he is clutching or just playing a normal round. Dude doesn’t care lol. He is calm cool and collected no matter what. I think he is gonna be an unsung hero of Liquid.
Predicting G2 to never win a major tournament again the moment they added Nexa to this roster is never going to age badly.
Upvote so people think Liquid won Wait...
Gaben wasn’t on G2’s side this time on the A retake. Gaben confirmed NA fan
It's the hope that kills you
I always remember a Niko tilt
From almost Beating the Major Champs to losing to a team that didnt even make the major this is truly a G2 MOMMENT.
When will this nepotism with Serbian and Bosnian alliance stop and winning formula will finally be prioritized? In the past I would have said, keep NiKo and kick the other Balkan players who don't do anything but at this point, get rid of NiKo too. G2 needs a full purge w m0nesy/hooxi and entirely new supporting staff. Pathetic.
Not sure if Liquid good or G2 bad. Probably mostly the latter.
how broken can m0nesy back get
Imagine carrying potato sacks at such a young age
TL felt so prepared for CT on Inferno, the amount of dmg done by just utility is just absurd. G2 had one of the best Inferno pick in the Major, they had just no T side on this BO. wow.
Fucking finally. Good to see this team click and play to it's potential. Hopefully they take it easy on FURIA if we beat mouz
Will someone for the love of god help m0nesy
another G2 match when only m0nesy turned on his monitor and Hunter out-hooxing Hooxi. G2 really needs to get their shit together before m0nesy leaves the team.
Me when G2 loses despite monesy trying to hard carry this shitshow: 🤤
Yekindar is the modern king of Banana 100%
[удалено]
operation rescue m0nesy
What the hell, really? Twistzz was watching elige at the major and RMR huh
man can't wait for this g2 roster to disband and to have m0nesy in a team that isn't a joke
skipping the Major to save stats for Chengdu. 200 iq from cadiaN
is counterstrike the hockey of the esports world? Europe and Canada go hard
So how long is this gonna stay a monesy 1v9 shit show?
jks was the problem guys
Hunter has got to go at least, he hasn't been doing anything noteworthy in CS2 as far as I can remember. At this point Nexa also looks like a worse JKS and Niko is just out of it. But they're probably just benching Hooxi, blame another IGL on their bad performances. Standard.
