That's going to be loud.
You French, you people, I cannot wait to see you, man.
It's been how long?
When was the last time we were there?
When you, I mean.
Last time I was there was, uh, when I was there, 17.
Yeah, 2017.

I think it was late last time.
It's a DDR.
I think we've been there for any other time.
10 years.
It's been a decade since we've seen you guys.
I hope that you guys haven't forgotten about us.

You want to shoot like Matt wear this hoodie.
The blue windbreaker, you guys have all seen it.
Everybody's been waiting for it.
Karma's rucking one of them right now.
And I got to tell you something.
What?
That's just dope.
It's a little loose.
It feels good.
I mean, I got a big one.
Yeah.
It's a little too big for you, my man.
But anyway, right off the rip, I guess.
So Seth was supposed to be here, but he got, he ate kebabs, chicken kebabs yesterday.
And he's been in the toilet, nonstop.
He made him?
No, he bought him from a new place.
He told me.
And then he actually texted me at around like 5.30 in the morning.
I was on the toilet when he texted me.
He's like, dude.
He's like, dude, I'm not going to be able to make it in.
I've been puking all.
I've been puking and shitting all night.
And I was like, yeah, all right, but whatever.
You already told me that you're wanting to come.
in on Monday. That's why I told him. You already told him. He's like, when? And I'm like,
when we said that we moved Monday to Tuesday or content from Tuesday to Monday so that we can
go to the major? He's like, he's like, yeah, I will see. And then all of a sudden you magically
get a stomach bug? Yeah. And then I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, no, no, hell no, no
he's like, he's like, why would I be up at 6 a.m. in the morning? And I'm like, it's,
oh, he ain't going back to that. A good point. Such a decent point. So I just left out of
that. I didn't reply to him no more. Decent point. Anyway, so how did you guys spend the
weekend. Obviously, Father's Day weekend. Did you do anything?
I didn't do anything different.
No, me either.
I just did the watch party.
Riley, what about, did you get anything for Father's Day?
You picked up dinner.
Well, his wife's pregnant with twins, guys.
I mean, that makes sense. Aside from that, no one has any excuse.
It sounds like his fucking days. Yeah, I picked up dinner
today. Yeah, yeah. I ordered mine. I ordered, I ordered dinner from
Fleming's. Ooh.
Yeah.
That's great. He's great.
Just ate it there in the kitchen, watching the game.
but yeah so nothing you didn't do i got a i got a i got a i got a an inset a supreme incense holder
and a um a a a little fucking shoulder bag i got a card and some candy but i think it was mainly
because bella wanted candy yeah cool man was like good enough for me this is what like i
personally like it's it's it's uh i don't know do you like do you guys celebrate father's day
at your house like with your like do you your mom and your brother get anything for your dad or
No, my dad hates gifts
Yeah
You know
Are you like the same way?
No
No
No
My dad's always been like a firm believer
Like if I wanted it
I'd have it already
Yeah
Yeah
Yeah
I don't get me anything
I don't want to like
hurt your feelings
Same
So same
So I'm somewhere
Around the same ballpark
Yeah
So I mean
If you get him something
Like
Just get him alcohol maybe
Like
You might drink that
Eventually
But other than that
He's always
He's always been
A hard person
I guess for
So
Yeah
He likes being at home
So
Yeah I don't know
I got my dad
Like I get my dad
A present
I was supposed to go to the soccer game with him
to today Argentina versus
I think it's like
Who is it?
Who are they playing?
Belgium or some shit?
Is that here?
Yeah, Argentina versus VS, man.
That's it.
Yeah, World Cup.
Austria.
Well, then good day, mate.
Let's put another shrimp on the barbie.
I don't know if that's Austria.
Do you never seen Dumb and Dumber?
Wait, is that?
That's from Dumb and Dumber?
Yeah, he's in the limo.
He's driving the limo.
he hops through the window to the backseat,
lowers the window,
pretends that he's being chauffeered,
opens the window,
looks at the lady,
good-looking lady,
he's like,
he's like,
hey,
well,
you know,
does the whole bit.
He's like,
where you're from?
She says,
Austria.
And then he's like,
ha, ha,
well then,
good day, man.
You know,
Jim Carrey,
man,
one of the funniest ever.
Yeah.
But since we're leaving to,
to Paris tomorrow,
we have a lot of content to do today.
So I'll try to take them to,
to another one when we get back.
or to one when we get back.
When you guys fly out tomorrow?
In the afternoon.
Yeah, like a 5.30.
We're all in the same flight, right?
Yeah, it's like three something.
Yeah.
Wait, yours is at three something?
Yeah, I think we're like 350.
What time do you guys land?
I don't know my fucking phone.
You probably looked at it right.
It's like 15 something.
Okay.
No, I didn't.
I don't know how to read military.
I'm pretty sure we're all in the same flight.
Mine's at 532 p.m., I mean, unless I read it wrong.
So I went to the girl, so I had a,
I had a breakfast meeting this morning at the diner, as I usually do, before content.
And then after I'm done eating, I go to the garage mall, drop a dooski.
And then I'm back.
I, this is the first time that I don't have my phone with me.
And I feel like a little bit like naked and afraid.
Yeah, same.
Yeah.
So solidarity.
You didn't even bring it with you?
No, I left it at the garage mall because I took a shit there.
And then I watched my hands and I ran out because I saw the time.
I'm like, fuck, I'm going to be late.
And then I, for some reason, didn't check my phone at all on the way here.
I mean, it's not that far of a drive.
Yeah.
And then when I got here, I got all the way up to the elevator and I'm like, fuck, where's my phone?
I'm like, fuck.
It's in my car.
So I started to walk out.
I see Matt out there having a smee.
And I'm like, yo, content's canceled.
And he's like, didn't fall for that show.
He knew immediately.
I said, I'm filming something.
Yeah.
I'm filming something.
So I decided I'm like
I told him like yo I forgot my phone
I could be back in like 10 minutes
And then he's like he's like I won't use my phone
Either solidarity so no one's allowed to use their phone
Until the phone is in my hands
I'm gonna
I'm gonna see how quickly
Medina gets back with that phone
He might get in a mix
And he can't even contact you if he does
Yeah exactly
He might just be like holy shit
He might be at the gate right now and tweaking
At the gate no he's got all instructions on how to get in it
If not he can call James or someone
Anyway it doesn't matter
We're fucking deviating here
Happy Father's Day to all the fathers out there.
If you are a father who's not taking care of his child,
the matter of the circumstances, go fuck yourself.
Be a fucking man.
Step up and do what the fuck you have to.
Don't let that woman get in the way between you and your fucking offspring.
If you're a regular dad,
like the ones you see before,
you're right here and you're taking care of your business, man.
Continue to take care of your business, man.
It is an honor and a blessing to be able to be a provider, a good one.
Okay?
So now you know, I don't fuck with you if you don't take care of yours.
Anyway, let's move on.
Texas bounce back.
I don't know if it was a bounce back.
Karma, what do you think?
Hell yeah, bro.
Good shot.
Yeah, I mean, we got a first Neslo in, what, the last fucking game of the year.
Yeah.
That's pretty.
I mean, that's weird.
That is weird.
Yeah.
All year.
Watching that roster.
I mean, I guess, honestly, we.
What is it?
What's the, what was, remember last year?
Don't say the P word.
The P word.
The problem.
Don't say, what's the problem?
No, no, no, no.
So I have two things.
to talk about and maybe
you two are actually the perfect people to talk
to this about do you think that this whole like
chalked mentality is
is weak athlete mentality
like if you if you were to think about Jordan
and Kobe and those sort of great athletes
out there the Brady's of the world
do you think they're like oh man I'm checked
today I'm not going to be able to throw the ball right
like my teammate said some weird shit and I got
checked shut the fuck about the
like when you've been
here have you been around it or
or you've talked do you does it feel
chalked. No. No, no,
checked or choked or checked moods?
It's not at all. No, no, no, no.
But look, you see this, right?
You know what that is? You know what that is?
The fuck is that shit and I'm broken, you know?
Because it's not.
It's not. I did almost, I did almost light it up, but no. I don't, I don't think, I think we're good.
I think the confidence of the boys going into this thing. Obviously, outside of the game
shit, it has, and just for the record,
Outside of the game shit has always affected this organization the same way as affected any athlete in the history.
We are humans at the end of the day and we do go through human things.
So obviously that's going to affect the game a little bit, but we seem to be trending in the right direction with the Nestle that you see there.
I'm not happy about it personally.
I don't know what, I don't know if you remember last year, Damon, but when we were going through that rough patch, I looked at you and I said, who broke my team?
I said, what happened to my team?
Why is my team broken?
We win a world championship and then all of a sudden we can't fucking shoot for dick
So I didn't ask you that this year because I don't feel like like we are
I just think that we hit the I mean the online season's done
Obviously what there's we had three events left
I mean I think the year went pretty fucking good yeah I would say like all things considered
Yes
We're just so used to ones you know bro like two game sevens go differently you're looking at
Yeah two championships this year
And game seven, like, you know how that is.
It's like a coin flip.
Yeah.
And I mean, I think like definitely like in the moment, like after them, like they were definitely like, wow, what the fuck.
But I mean, ever like every time we've got home, like it's just gone away, you know.
No one's thinking about it.
Honestly, like we're just trying to get better.
I think literally the biggest thing is just I think we're getting more on the same page with some things.
Like I'd say it's been like it's been a little weird throughout this year.
I think the biggest thing is like the gun shit though.
The meta change.
Like for some reason, like some days, I'm pretty sure in that last match, like for Toronto, bro,
I think we're like, we're not two ARs again.
I'm fucking dead.
It's just like, I don't know how many events or how many more matches we got to go, like
losing the teams.
Yeah.
So I think are weaker that are using that fucking gun.
Yeah.
Like, I agree.
I don't get it.
Because there were, there were like weird things, right?
So like, I'd say for like the minor, like when we got railed on scar, right?
We had like a talk like what, maybe two weeks prior where we were like, damn, what's going
out with our scar?
Like we're not losing our P or we're not winning P1s or not when P2s anymore.
And then we're like, a lot of people are running fucking two subs the whole time.
So sure enough, we run two subs or slamming everyone.
Get to that one.
We're run two subs or run four ARs.
We're like, okay, maybe we were fucking trolling.
we're like looking at it the wrong way
like Scar was always like
AR AR heavy
we switched back to it fucking the day after
the minor team we scrimmed gets
25 points on the mat
around four ARs
it's like a beast with a dude I swear
AN is like godlike with the AR it was last year too
same with Kyle I mean you saw him snipe
yeah yeah he hit a sniper bag
I don't know I'm be honest like I've been
I've been like hammered into them like
dude you guys I mean it's mainly
Mason Brennan but I'm like
where you guys need to run this gun like the mpc yeah i think more mace for sure
definitely mace for sure but like look at look at the g2 the other day and when they played us
brad nasty didn't even have a fucking a r yeah he was perma mpc the one map caesar rails us on
on colossus colossus is what guns he used an mpc but i go see him the other day and he's
fucking using a r on it and getting rail they're getting rail i was like what the
So I'm like, maybe these teams don't realize it or I don't really know.
But I mean, I said even before, like, when this gun first got introduced and it was like really good, like not the first iteration way back, but like this new one.
I mean, I've kind of been just trying to nail it in their heads.
Like, bro, the team who wins is going to be running around this fucking gun.
Yeah.
The only team we're like kind of losing to sometimes is running a fuck done of them.
Yeah.
Text Medina.
See where is that?
No.
I think nine hours to fucking get here.
Yo, are you as the coach telling Mace, yo, I mean, obviously, you know, Mace, Mace can be told so, but the players, right?
Do you tell them? Do you tell them? I basically told him like, bro, you need a use it.
Or you're going to lose is basically what I'm saying.
Yeah, but did you tell him, say, hey, I've been saying.
I'm your coach. You have no fucking choice. I'll tell Hector, not to pay you.
I mean, the biggest thing for me is like, see, I think he's going to do it, but like, I keep telling it to Brandon.
Because, bro, when Brandon, like, Brandon only only use it, like, right now.
on like a few hills, like on gridlock,
he was on fucking the house hill, the showers hill,
and the P2 hill and bro, every time he does it,
he's fucking frying.
Yeah, of course.
When we do two V-2s, who's fucking frying with the sub?
Yeah.
Believe it or not, Brandon.
No, I believe it.
It's just that- I'm just that-
I'm just sitting there like now, I'm like, bro,
you see these shitters using the gun?
Like I know you don't want it and like when you're on point
what they are, it's good.
And even like, den overload,
I've been trying to like get them to do it more.
Yeah.
every time we play it i'll be like yeah brannan see like we could have been way faster but you're
pream and he's like well yeah but i'm like but but yeah like we could just be going and everyone
else right now is just fucking going no that's that's true i'm like there are moments though you know you can
it's it's almost weird because the a r is like the fucking flex right now it feels like yeah
it's almost like almost perma three cells dependent on the map and then the ar is like i mean
Ernie does it.
Even Caesar did it, like I said, on Colossus.
Yeah.
You'll see Jamie with it.
Jamie.
You know what I was that?
Sometimes there's maps where he's
Parma.
Yeah, like that's insane.
If he's using it, like,
the shit's busted.
Would you be, would you have switched
already?
Okay, well, here's the thing.
The only reason I give Brandon
the benefit of the doubt is because
his pistol's actually so good.
Yeah.
You can kind of defend himself up close.
Whereas if it was me,
I'd be running around off the side.
Yeah.
I don't got that pistol shot.
Yeah.
I do think Mason's use it more.
just for the general pace of the game
because Kyler-R-N are actually so fast
and they take so much space
that if they even have a little bit of support around that
it would just help every push for sure
So I mean you look at like do the Toronto match
after it I was like
bro you amazed for you using fucking AORs on Den
and you were getting fucking railed
both you were negative and Kyle and A were the ones getting killed
Yeah it's like
Yeah no it's weird
And it's just shitty because
I mean online like
Yeah like dude sometimes you have no chance
what they are
I'd say on land it's way better
You have more chance
Like sometimes like with how this game is
Like you just need to be fast
And like if you have the M15
You can't you can't run into someone
I mean you can still do it with a pistol
But I mean at the end of day
The pistol only got a couple bullets
Yeah like the guarantee one but like
If you got that gun you can get a
You see people get four piece one clip
Yeah well one clip
Even when you're weak
Yeah like that you know so
Dude that kill that Caesar
Or Ebezi got on Caesar
And that one
Dude, that was really good.
Match was fucking insane, dude.
But that's like, I feel like, dude, it probably happened so much.
On Hasi?
Yeah, on Hossi.
Across the, it was like a 1v3 for 8.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Because there's so many people using it and it's just like,
just like, you might not see the POV all the time,
but that shit's definitely happening a lot.
Dude, that shit's happening all over the map,
probably all the time.
Like, when I'm sitting there watching all day,
I'm not, I'm not like saying it every time,
because I'm kind of used to it now, but I'll be like,
looking at my chair, like, yo, what the fuck?
Yeah.
What the fuck has you got shock on now?
So yeah, I mean, I don't know.
Yeah, I got my phone.
It was open to like, I don't know.
We'll see, we'll see how it all goes, but I mean, I'm going to keep saying it.
And, you know, depending, even, you know, if we go, we, who knows how we're going to do this weekend.
Oh, here it is.
But I just think if this gun stays like this, dude.
Keep in mind, Abe was a week.
That was a very bad example because it was so fast.
But like, Abe gets weak.
Is this the way you're talking about?
Yeah, yeah.
Look, he's weak, 50-9 HP.
Cesar slides in, hits him.
Seager isn't a miss a bullet.
Yeah, but Abe doesn't either.
They had an M-15.
And Abe kills him, yeah, and Cesar has an AR.
So, like, Abe just fucking just staples into the wall for a pivotal 1B3 game five.
Like, it was just like one of those ones you can't.
On this same map, Abe fucking shoots across, across from, you know, that center jump-up?
Yeah.
To the right corner.
Yeah.
And fucking nothing was shown about a pixel of the whoever he killed, and he fucking snapped on him so quickly and murdered, like, literally murdered him.
That is crazy.
When you're on.
point with it like yeah i've seen some kills like even just in scrims where do you think they'll
like chow you across the map yo is it me or was fucking brandon shooting fucking marshmallows this
past weekend because he was pulling a lot of fucking like literally like you where no bullets
could have gone anywhere else besides like where he was shooting i mean he's the one i always watch
and i don't know sometimes it just looks insane but yeah i mean yeah i definitely know what you're saying
like on the first map specifically i saw two two instances where i was just like like
I was screaming at the top of my lungs on the fucking couch.
I'm the what the fuck was that?
Yeah, I mean, dude, when you play Toronto, like,
I mean, at least when I remember,
from what Brandon tells me, it sounds similar,
where it's just like, it's always just some weird ass fucking server.
Because they're, like, in another country, mind you.
Like, and you have to fucking, you know.
But they're in, like, another country,
and usually the server's pretty fucking close to them.
It's always closer to them than it is to the Texas players.
And that's, like, eight teams.
Like, I mean, I'm not saying it's an excuse
because I think Optics been fucking mega scamming in matches.
in my opinion, but yeah, they were playing good that day too.
I don't know.
Yeah, I mean, for me, like overall, I mean, dude,
the search and the overload is just the biggest thing.
Like, yeah, we lost two hard points.
I didn't really care about losing the hard points.
I mean, I think when we get to land,
like our heart point is pretty fucking crazy.
Yeah.
So, like, that's where like, hey,
you can't bitch about getting knocking kills or any of that.
But, I mean, the biggest thing was the search.
Search was definitely the most important thing.
Yeah, yeah.
And then I was like looking for it.
Definitely, definitely scammed a bit on the den, but, but I think the general, yeah.
Slid outer and just child in between me too.
He had like two of them.
He just fucking died.
I literally looked at my camera.
I was like, I can't defend that.
Dude, like the other one, it was like, I think we almost got, what, 3 v.
Ford.
Two v. Ford in like five seconds?
Yeah.
Like two v. 4.
Okay.
Bro, it's because like, like, Brandon was like stuck in that corner outer and Kyle was like laying in that
spot before.
And like, Brandon turns around, shoots Jamie because like, aunt called him out.
And it's like, I'll get him, I'll get him.
I'm like, okay, that's fine.
Brandon, you're in a fuck spot, but once Jamie dies, you're chilling.
Jamie dies, Brandon turns around full, full gens, just chowes out.
And that's when Kyler looks like he's scammed because he like peeks up from the box and they both fly out.
Brian's like, yeah, Kyle, I like scammed you twice pretty bad that map.
But, um, I don't know.
I feel like we talked a lot about search like this last week.
And I mean, well, unfortunately, we only played like one actual match.
but I think the whole idea of it
because like our grid
I think our grid
I want to see the last time
we played it was like
but the only last time I remember playing it was
versus fucking thieves
and I swear there was camp
and their spawned
it was in the minor I think
we are railed on what map
on this map I think
unless I'm thinking to someone else
but someone we play like Lee didn't move
or no maybe it was gentlemen
I'm not gonna lie a lot of teams don't move
versus no I mean
trust me
I've been nailed that into it
All right, it's time to talk about prize picks.
Let's put in some picks for the upcoming major.
Of course, we're going to go Draza and Simp less.

Yeah, that'll be fine.
I'm excited
Okay Troy
Coy hasn't been doing bad
But like people were also acting like
They were like dog shit
No I thought they were dog shit
I mean well
I think Kleenex is not happy
I thought they were dog shit they went
It's weird though because it's like
Two weeks ago they go round 11
Game 5 was C9
It doesn't make sense
Then a weekend
It's past weekend they go round 11 with you guys
And then they also reverse sweep G2
In the most like insane
And G2's been doing pretty fucking good
I'm saying in the middle of that series
like G2's gonna get top for this event,
but the end of it, I'm like,
I don't think they are anymore.
I don't know what the fuck gets washed.
Weird, really fucking weird, man.
3-0 and overload.
Up 2-0 in the series,
2-0 in the series?
That one was crazy.
You lose.
Up 100 in the HP game 4?
Up 120 game 4?
Yeah.
Lose.
Up 3-0 game 5 in the search?
Lose.
Well, the search one was fucking...
Like, look at this shit.
Like, it's weird.
The last map, I thought it was guaranteed
that like G2 had it in the bag.
I was like, oh, okay, they were again.
Thought they had in the bag.
A good test before the event.
And then I was like, oh, never mind.
You guys just shattered before the event.
It's not good.
Then the one round.
Was it the one round?
They TK.
And Brenner, you were like, oh, don't worry.
Like, that just, like, fucked with how they were going to play that round.
Coy TK on D.
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
And they lose like 3 v.
4.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Yeah.
Kipps was in a blind.
And then he ranly just turned into God.
Yeah.
And then that map, it was crazy.
Kipps has gotten really fucking good, by the way.
Kips is fucking insane.
Kipps is disgusting.
Yeah, yeah.
He's fucking disgusting.
He's hungry, man.
You know, he's got shit to prove all these other veterans.
Like, they've proved some.
I tell you some,
Kleenex cannot be happy.
He just looks unhappy the entire time that he's on fucking camera, you know?
And I can see, you know, obviously, who has Toronto let go of?
Like, scrap, obviously.
And then Joe Deceives, huh?
Apparently Shotsie on Splice.
Yeah, but by then, like, Ant hadn't proven himself in Call of Duty yet.
So, like, I'll give him that pass.
He was like him and Halo.
Yeah.
At that time,
you don't let go with it.
Yeah,
but that has only happened once with you, though.
Huh?
Up until,
up until Shatsy doing what you did,
you were the only fucking proof of concept that got there.
But look at them.
Enable.
Enable has one,
but,
I mean,
from a dominant standpoint,
like...
Okay, I'll take the gas.
No, this is not a gas.
It's fat.
I'm just reading from a book.
Man,
he's probably just pissed their fucking losing.
Yeah, yeah.
And it keeps offense,
too,
or not in Kipp's offense,
but one positive,
for Kips, like, you lost Joe to seeves, that sucks, but it's gonna give him more room to
like shine.
Yeah, man.
Like it's, he's been doing it.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
No, Kips is definitely.
And I'm not just saying that because he came from the huntsman and blah, blah, blah, blah, blah,
none of that.
Speaking of the fucking huntsman, where Zinni at?
Zin, when you made the decision that you made to do what you did,
is this the outcome that you were fucking hoping for?
Because that's the outcome that I told you what's going to happen.
I mean, like, even if we, Zinni,
Zini, even if, even if it all goes according to plan and we get the player they want,
we're still not guarantee that we're going to place anything.
We're probably going to end up sixth.
Oh, shit, look.
No, I'm kidding.
Yeah, T6 this weekend.
We did lose to Bush.
We did lose to Bush again in like a crazy game five, but.
They got trakes now.
So, like, Bush are insane.
They're on like a fucking like AP now.
Like they are insane.
Well, who's on the team?
Yeah, I know.
Yeah.
Even Byron's having a weird resurgence.
Like he's fucking domicry.
Well, bro, they're probably happy as fuck.
They got a guy who like should be in, like, definitely should be in the league.
Yeah.
He's like a good play.
Yeah.
It's not like someone like someone was bad and got dropped.
Yeah.
Like, I mean, we have to grab him.
No, it's like, well, why is this guy?
Yeah.
It's like, grab this guy here.
Wait, someone fucked up.
Wait, why is he on the fucking.
Why is he available?
Yeah.
Neptune too.
Why is the Neptune?
Bro, if I'm Bush, I'm picking up Neptune also.
I don't think NEP wants to play challengers.
I don't give a lot of teams of him son.
Who's this?
I think he's on the gentleman's bench, though.
So, like, he's not trying to...
You know, it's weird way.
I wonder...
I don't remember.
I think your champs roster is locked after that, like...
Yeah, that's why I think it's locked now.
Yeah, so, I don't think nothing's gonna be a chance.
I don't think so.
Which is fucking insane.
Insane, dude.
Because I know Cloud 9 can use them.
Oh, yeah, yeah.
I know the London Royal Ravens...
I know fucking top eight.
I mean, the bottom eight teams can use them.
Yeah, but it's like...
He probably doesn't want to get stuck on there.
Well, then fucking put it in your contract.
They need them.
And any org should be like, yeah, dude, fuck it.
Yeah, we'll take the wins.
Yeah, but does Neptune want to take the pay cut?
Like, when you get benched on a CDL roster, does your pay go down?
Some people are standing until later on.
Definitely not how it used to be.
Yeah.
Okay.
Yeah, yeah.
We could just send the bench and collect.
Yeah.
It ain't like that.
No, now it's, now it's, some people drop it to half or a quarter of their actual salary.
Okay.
Which makes sense, right?
Obviously.
still might be 10x fucking C-9s
Like even like quartered
Okay but where is he
I feel like dude
He definitely wants to play
Oh no he does he does
Yeah but what I'm saying is like
When he's not playing how is he
Where's he doing?
Is he playing ranked?
Is he playing ranked?
He's like streaming ranked
Yeah
He's streaming ranked just to stay warm
You can tell he wants to do that
Yeah no he's grinding
He's good he has to do that
Look attitude problem or inner
Relationship problem
Player problem like all that bullshit
Like US and Or who's not
I would pick him up.
I would have no problem picking that dude up.
Yeah, I mean, I would have, listen to me right now.
If something happened, I would have no problem at all picking them up.
Yeah, and who's to saying teams didn't try?
Like, who's to say Falcons didn't try?
To pick him up?
Yeah, to pick him up.
You know, like, who's just who said that?
They might have tried.
They might have just fallen through.
They might have been.
Definitely, like, it's crazy, but like, he might actually just wait until after champs
or something.
But you're running the risk right now of people, of teams settling in together,
They're not being a spot.
It's not open.
It's 12 teams only, dude.
Yeah.
I think if I'm him and you're kind of understanding you might not play a champs,
then your next black soft friend is playing at EWC.
And you're hoping in a team at champs that's good right now.
Let's say a top six team just fails at champs.
And then you're like, okay, I'll play.
And right now your stock is still high as a talent.
You're just aides as a teammate.
Yes.
But like you don't want to ruin your stock high as a talent by playing with a Vancouver or a C-9.
And it does suck because like from what we've seen like this year,
It's like thieves, us, phase.
The team he got dropped from, gentlemen mates.
And then like what, G2?
But then G2, like, I don't even know if they, like, those four teams you just can't get on.
Yeah.
So like, I feel like he was like the only option.
Like to be honest, because he wasn't going to go to G2 because Dill just got picked up.
Like all the teams that have a pretty good chance of winning, like there's no chance to get on them right now.
Exactly.
Yeah.
And then he doesn't want to join the bottom four.
Can't turn the top four.
So that's eight teams gone.
And then G2's gone.
So now you're looking at just Falcons, maybe breach, but mainly just Falcons.
Mainly just Falcons.
That's kind of how I was thinking about it.
And who knows?
Like I said, who knows if he got asked by anyone?
Yeah, who knows?
Logically, if he did get asked by anyone that was down low, I get him not doing it.
But he's also a guy who I don't think, like, he's not going to play challengers,
but he's not going to get off the game.
That's for sure.
Yeah.
I feel like I've seen enough.
The guy just fucking grinds.
Yeah.
And I do agree a major one MVP.
Like,
Shrakes' situation is definitely unique
because he's definitely going to be in the league.
But like Neptune's a major one winner
slash MVP.
Yeah.
Like he doesn't want to go from that to now playing this pup cup.
Yeah.
You know what I'm saying?
Like he doesn't want to do that.
Oh, we know how to go.
Yeah.
He's going to go fucking get on a bird
and fucking challengers.
It's going to do what T.
Yeah, exactly.
So, I mean.
I don't give a fuck.
I still would have.
And look,
I understand.
Like, on gentlemen.
I can at least point to like one dude who's like, you know,
headstrong and that's fucking ghosty.
So I can see him getting like bumping heads with like, you know,
ghosty with someone that,
but he was going out of with fucking Dylan.
You know what I'm saying?
Like, you know,
Dill's easy to get along with.
So it is a personal,
interpersonal thing.
Yeah,
I mean,
I'm sure he wasn't getting wrong with any of them.
I'm sure,
dude,
from my,
from my shoes,
it looked like that team was only going to get along if they kept winning.
And like,
that was,
like,
if you look at those four players,
you're like,
what the fuck?
They had success early and then they just,
stick like wasn't coming back together at all.
Yeah, and once those problems became problems,
they were probably very big problems.
They were probably just sick of it.
Yo, but shout out Gotaga, man.
He saw an opportunity to take a fucking player like Joe deceives.
He fucking took it.
Pay what it needed to fucking pay to get him out of there.
Boom.
Yeah, he wants a good team in Major 4.
Do you want to know why he did that?
Because he owns his team.
And he felt no issue with him coming out of pocket and paying what he needs to
for his team to become better.
Yeah.
The other,
on the other side, you're sort of like part of an organization and you're like making the best like
money sense. Like he's gone at the end of the year anyway. Let's take what money we have and
that sort of thing. But man, it's a good look for them. Like I think if I was a player or a fan of
them. It's like, yo, good looks, bro. You actually want to make a fucking great game.
Yeah. Maybe it doesn't work out the way this year ends. But like people see like, you know,
these guys tried to actually get a really, or they got a really good player at literally the
end of the year to actually give their team a chance.
Yeah, no, if it would have kept the other roster,
they would have fizzled out even harder.
And we didn't even know about all the shit going on.
Yeah, exactly. You know what I mean?
We were just been like, what the fuck? Like,
what is it going?
I don't know. They just suck now.
It's like, oh shit. They had problems.
They actually went and got a fucking really good player.
Yeah, and then they were placed still too.
Like, they have a whole new like looks slash feel slash vibe to this team
coming into this major.
Yep.
They can be very dangerous. That round one matchup, by the way,
is going to be fucking lit.
First phase to kick off their tournament in front of fucking however many thousands.
You think they're all going to be saying fuck you, Draza?
Yeah.
Oh, yeah.
Oh, I didn't even think about that.
Yeah, that's going to be a crazy one.
That's me loud.
You French, you French people, I cannot wait to see you, man.
It's been how long?
When was the last time we were there?
When you, I mean.
Last time I was there was 17.
Yeah, 2017.
Yeah, I don't know.
It was late last time.
The DDR.
I think we've been there.
for any other time. Ten years. It's been a decade since we've seen
you guys. I hope that you guys haven't forgotten about us.
We certainly have not forgotten about you guys,
even though it seemed that way
because we didn't have a show over there at all.
This is some good matches.
Looky, like, think about like that first
match, these Ravens, obviously on paper, it looks
pretty fucking boring. Thieves gonna win, probably.
Yeah. But like this Knox kid
just got picked up like a week ago.
And now he's flying to Paris.
I'm gonna play thieves on stage. On stage.
In the biggest stage. His whole life just changed.
In the biggest stage. Yeah. Well, he just played
phase online.
He's like, okay, the league's insane.
And now he's going to land.
He's playing thieves.
Yeah, it's gonna be fucking insane for him.
And the main's phase match obviously
is crazy.
Dalton's G2, that'll probably be a weirdly
close series.
And then T.J. Halley versus
Brandon in the big 2026.
Yeah.
Right of that.
That's fucking crazy.
What are the, oh, yeah, let's see.
Thank you, Riley.
So first match is G2,
Riyadh.
Oh, Al-Alva.
Yeah, right.
Like first match.
And that's the Bravo one.
and then, what's, I guess you can't.
Oh, my way, they have, they have phase and gentlemen mates on Bravo.
No, no, no, because optics on main.
So, okay, so that's a second main match.
Don't tell the players that they're going to be playing at 7 a.m. this time, okay?
Because that's going to do something to their head.
Wait, scroll down, Riley? Can you scroll down on this bitch?
I think there's five matches on Friday.
Yeah, there's probably more.
Way more, dude, all of them.
It's like, yeah, it's three-day tournament with 12 teams.
Like, they're going to have to crunch some shit.
Yo, let's do, let's talk about it though, because I think at this, I think,
I think the way that they did Dreamhack
was the best watching experience we could have had.
There was never a down, like, area.
No, for sure.
We didn't even have time to play games,
which is fine by me.
Yeah.
It was good from like the, like watching.
Oh, yeah.
Oh, yeah, it was the best.
Like this one, this one.
Yeah, it was the best.
It was literally the best experience.
Riley, agree?
I, Riley agrees.
Riley was getting cracked by, huh?
Fucking.
Or Riley was like in his element.
He thought he was fucking,
what's his name in the Matrix?
When he's down there, like fucking with all the computers?
shit. Dude, you should find that
video of the CS major
that just happened. By the way, CS...
Dude, they're trying. Yeah, you should find the video
of the two observers
in the back. Bro. You got the smoke.
You have the molly. Got the molly up been in now.
You got to see this is fucking insane. Yeah.
It's pretty insane. And also, the CS major
shots out Nico. That was awesome.
Yeah, congratulations your first one, man.
That's like the whole roster.
Yeah, this. So this is the POV of the observers.
This is not AI. Like, this is not some
weird shit. This is like the...
First with the POV, I thought it was like fake.
Yeah, no, me too.
Like, I was like, wait.
Hey, I got the Molly fallback.
It's this guy and another guy talking back and forth.
Oh, big name.
Back to you, you're live?
I'll get ready on the apartment setup.
I'll just play like double field.
Okay, I'm live on it.
It's so sweaty.
Dude, it's so tired.
Yeah, and back to you and you're live now.
I got to show midwalk
yeah back to you like
I can pit for a motor swing
the unsung heroes of the event
dude shut out these dudes
and Riley
Riley does this but with faces
who say the most interesting thing right now
is what do you think
it's just like crazy though
I'll pick up a rikrador this is insane
dude and back to you
you're live in the moment
it's funny actually like watching
you're never like, bro, why am I watching this?
Like, what is it going on?
Yeah, like, what's making all these things possible.
It looks fucking good.
You're just like, wow, they know what they're doing.
Yeah.
But then, like, you look at what's behind it.
You're like, what the fuck?
I hate what he's like, yo, go here.
Okay, now go back to you?
Because you know the worst thing when I'm watching like a fucking,
like, e-sport in a video game is like,
but they don't ever get all the kills.
Like, I watch fucking Rainbow 6.
Yeah.
And like, I don't really like watching it.
Yeah.
Because you never fucking see anyone kill someone.
Yeah
Yeah, this is so teed, dude
Dude, he's got the little Oghado thing
Yeah
To fucking said it
This is so teed dude
And keep in mind
This is one round of CS
Yeah
Yeah, that's one round of that
There's ten players
That is insane dude
There's ten players on the map
Hats off for those guys
Yeah, shots out to them
Shots out to just
CS as a sport man
Way to fucking teach people
How to fucking run one
If only people would fucking open their eyes
And be in attention
Who the fuck spells optic like that?
Who the fuck is this Turtle I-O-I-O-I-O-T turtle?
Wait, how old is CS now?
It was just the birthday.
23, I think?
27 or however old.
25, maybe, I don't know.
But that was like their peak viewers, like ever, I think.
This past weekend.
That, yeah, it was like 2 million or stuff.
It's 2.7 mil.
Yeah.
It just keeps growing.
It's just like, when you're watching a major for them,
it just because like you're watching a movie.
To be fair, this major, like those, that bracket,
the storylines, yeah, the storylines,
was fucking in.
was fucking insane.
I mean, what was the match that had like
the crazy O.T?
Spirit and G2?
Spirit and G2.
That was like the 25, 22 on
with the 4K spray down
and fucking B-Site.
Yeah.
The Magic 4K, he'll probably get graffiti there.
You know, I also didn't know.
The Magic's 4K.
I like woke up that morning
and like saw that clip.
Yeah?
Wait, it was a 1V.
He was by himself.
Watch you. He's gonna pull it up.
No, yeah.
I watched him.
I didn't realize in the moment
it was 1V.
I thought he was just there and got a 4k.
I was like, yo, that's kind of crazy, but then I like re-read it.
Look at the minimap.
Look at the minut mat.
He's like, he's having his whole team go sell fucking A and literally die for it.
And he's hoping they were probably gonna kill a couple.
But now he's like, okay, and I literally saw him getting the spot.
I was like, yeah, loki, this is not a bad spot to play this.
Yeah.
Dude, he just sprays them all down in double O T.
His reaction, this one right here, his reaction right there.
Holy shit.
I think after he's like, I don't even know what happened.
I just like, mouse one and they're all dead.
Yeah, like, this is insane.
How does he even see them though from this?
I don't even think he cares.
He's just pre-trying the whole clip.
He's just letting it sing.
Do you like he just heard audio that it's like,
it wasn't one guy there?
He heard a bunch of footsteps.
Yeah, like I just got to shoot.
You probably thought it was three, though.
You probably thought it was three.
Look at him.
Like that fucking NASCAR shit.
It's like pedal till I see God or whatever.
He was probably just like mouse one until I see the other side.
Yo, that was a dunk to his left, right?
Yeah.
Bro, I've seen, I've been getting fed nothing but Counterstrike this entire weekend.
And then obviously went down to the rabbit hole that they kept feeding me.
And that dude is fucking.
Donkey is crazy.
Turn it off.
Yeah, that is cool.
Like really sees BOV for a second.
Without like.
Then it gives you like, yeah, you don't have like the, oh, he's fucking dead.
Yeah.
oh there's four of them.
Because imagine it had the outline for that moment.
Like that just made it like so good.
Yeah.
Yeah.
You know, I was kidding.
FYI.
What'd you say?
The turtle.
Who the fuck is this?
I.
Oh yeah.
You're really upset on the song.
He spelled it right in the first sentence.
It's where he did it in the next one.
Yeah, yeah.
That's what I was like, fine.
Most wins.
And opting in past phase for most wins.
Like how?
Cool.
I don't know.
Yeah, I don't know.
Because I'm pretty sure they had like seven losses in that cold war here.
You guys have played more matches.
Oh, is that what it is?
You guys had 11 before.
Oh, because the minors probably.
And the minors as well.
Yeah.
I don't know.
Maybe.
I don't fucking know.
Because the minor is actually technically only first minor.
You guys got one win because you lost the semis.
And the second minor, you guys got two wins.
I mean, it's still a couple extra.
It is a couple extra.
Yeah.
I have no idea, dude.
Yeah, but then we only played fucking like four matches online every time.
Yeah, I don't fucking know.
Maybe it's a split that had 11 matches.
I think it's the 11 matches.
I think it's the 11 matches.
Yeah, yeah.
When you played everyone team once,
I don't know if you guys have done that before,
but I don't fuck Optic 5 and O, but T12.
What?
It was like major result, T12.
It's like win-loss ratio, 5-0 and then T-12.
Was that, that was-that was-emacy game.
That was the embassy game.
I think that was a Dan, right?
No idea.
You guys went 5-0 and just got soft 12?
That was Toronto.
I think that was the Toronto.
Just got this loss of the first thing you played and lost to the team and losers.
Yeah.
It was like dying the whole event.
Okay.
Fair?
Yeah.
That looked insane.
Wait, and the crazy thing with that is like, so that was like the first event.
I think I actually was like full time like coaching.
And JP's like, bro, we're fucking insane.
We show up.
I'm like, yo.
Hello?
JP's like, bro, I promise you.
I promise you we're not that bad.
Like, I don't know what the fuck that was.
Yeah, right, was this multiple team changed
Unable to find flights
Orgs back out less than a week
Yeah, wait, why did you skip past that?
Yeah, who's, wait, are you,
It wasn't our org, why are you skipping through it?
No, I'm kidding.
Multiple teams change
Unable to find flights
Last second to Paris is Brian.
Oh, I did see that.
I did see that for Cabal.
Dimensions and Rispy's team, I believe,
backed out randomly.
Myself, Dark, see what's Derek
the Goat already have team pass
but our org backed out last minute need help
with flights and B&B.
I'm not going to cap.
That sucks so good.
Wait, so when was, is it, did they find a solution?
Bro, yeah, anyone trying to cough up a four plane tickets to Paris this week?
Yeah, and Airbnb.
It's tomorrow.
Can anyone buy us four plane tickets to Paris?
Yeah, it's weird too because they were doing, they got stuck in the elite.
Like, I figured Cabal was like, I don't know, behind their players.
I mean, I don't know Cabal at all.
It doesn't work, I don't know.
I feel like some shit had to happen.
Yeah, I don't know.
Weird trip. Is there other ones?
The shit kind of always happens when
Borgs are pressured to buy international
flights, I feel like. Yeah, yeah, I was going to
But why wait until the last second, man?
Because they don't want to fucking break the player's hearts?
So this is worse. I feel like
it's so like, what's
the word, like, that it can just
like break, like, like, who knows?
Like, they maybe thought like
the team wasn't even going to stick. I don't know.
Maybe they were hoping they broke up.
Bro, look at this. What the fuck is this?
Why?
Yeah, I think it was during our match
Yeah, Tom was crashing the fuck out
I think during our match versus Koi
Like something happened with one of their guys
And those icons I think
Yeah, that probably made all this shit happen
Dude, this is insanity
I mean, but look, I'm gonna be honest with you
This is what we need in the entire scene
This is what we need in the entire scene
Right now the 12 teams don't have like this
This sort of like we need the 12 teams
To suffer a little bit, you know?
We need to all be involved in this fucking thing
Now why are we let a sweet host?
They are triple Texas, bro.
That's ridiculous.
Yeah, that's crazy.
Keep trying to this shit work.
I don't give a fuck.
Oh, that's geo.
I just let sweet host.
All right, fuck it, bro.
Yo, swu-fucky, go host, bro.
It's good.
Because you got to go at seven.
So boom.
So boom.
I'm on 70 pink.
Who's this talking?
Geo.
I'm on 60 pink.
I like geo.
Oh my.
Evil shots.
We are triple 60 pink playing against a triple team on five team because he got.
Triple 60 ping where they all live
West Coast he's gotta go where?
Yeah that's about okay
Okay, okay okay, okay, he was just trying to sabotage

That is super cool.
I would have those motherfuckers sweating

bicycle class
The Japan
It's fully embracing Mexican culture
For the longest time
That's so me
I'm out there
In La Troquita
Dude all the Japanese shit with the
After the Mexico
It's been so funny
Yeah
And the Koreans
Right now
I don't know
I think Japan right now
might be second faves
to Mexicans.
Mexicans have always had
Japan in high regard
but with K-pop and everything going down
and the Korean matches that they had.
Mexico beats South Korea, right?
Yeah.
I saw the world.
Do you see the video with the guy?
He's like sitting there and the girls like
jumping on him.
Yeah.
They're trying to kiss him and he's like,
he's like going like this,
but he's fucking loving it.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Yeah.
It's like a really, really like
conservative, like
fucking stoic, you know, culture of like
politeness and mannerisms.
Yeah.
And then you have Mexicans.
And then you have full on crazy.
And then you have fucking Mexicans.
Look at that shit, bro.
Yeah.
Oh, yeah.
I've realized that, listen, if you want to be Mexican,
all you have to say is that you're Mexican.
And then we embrace you.
Immediately we're throwing you up in the fucking air.
I saw another one of these ladies were doing,
I don't know what fans they were.
Maybe in Mexico.
They were doing Oklahoma drill with,
uh,
The little
You know the orange cones or whatever
Yeah
Yeah
Like yeah
Yeah
That's funny
Hell yeah
Max Velocity has
Tornado seeking drones now
You know who Max Velocity is
By the way
No
All right
So I discovered this dude
When he was getting 9000 views
Oh yeah
I watch this guy
This is my
This is my
This is your guy
Well
He sends these in the tornadoes
Yeah
And they don't get
I mean
Apparently not
What
How
I fucking love this guy man
He had 110,000 people watching them the other day.
Live concurrence.
Just him talking about the weather.
Does he not give you a little bit of a...
Like, if somebody says, like, that's E. Matt Craig's cousin.
You wouldn't believe?
He looks just as teed.
I can see it.
It's super high quality stuff right next to all the vortices.
You can see them flying it through the tornado multiple times.
Damn.
That's insane
This is insane
That's my weather man right there
Him and Andrew Peterman
I only listen to two weather people
Him and Andrew Peterman
Is this the greatest G split?
What the fuck am I about to watch dude
What's a G split?
Oh
The Guinness
Split the G
Is it the first G or which G?
Oh shit
Perfect
Nah
Oh I just got the chills
Damn.
Love that.
Man, I got to tell you something.
I haven't, I'm a casual when it comes to soccer, fucking.
I used to watch a lot of West Ham and all that.
But man, the World Cup has been bringing a lot of people together this time around.
More than usual, in my opinion, because I've never really experienced it like this much.
Has it ever been here?
Maybe that's why.
Has it ever been here?
In the U.S.?
No.
That's probably why.
Yeah.
Oh, this is the thing.
There's a lady in there.
There's two ladies.
There's two ladies, as I'm saying.
Let's get concussions just for funcies.
Yeah, dude.
Party people.
People are alive in it.
YouTube purchased a storage unit containing 125,000 of Adidas's products from a former employee
gets a call from Adidas to return the merchandise.
He says, fuck all.
Fuck that
Yo, what you think of the garage mahal?
What?
Oh, relax.
Loud.
Dang, you play music?
We've ever bought a storage?
Yeah.
You've done it?
Yeah, I did one because
Rob Turkle was doing that for like an entire year.
You got to try it.
Oh shit, look at that dope-ass fucking.
No, I'm not returning that goddamn thing.
No, I bought this.
What if he's kept this little key?
No, you got to promote it.
Well, he said that they called them and hold them back.
Can they make them do that?
No.
What if he just held on to those shit?
And so right now I'm holding onto the items,
figuring out what they went back.
And if they do with the products back,
obviously try to figure out some compensation for them getting back.
Yeah. Yeah.
Because if you just saw,
it's over $100,000 of MSRP value of items.
And so that's paying $2,000 for the unit,
we'd have to figure something out.
there, but I'm willing to work with Adidas because, you know, they're a huge brand.
I've worked at them in the past.
They've sent me sneakers and- Oh, that's a little different here and cause any problems for
Adidas, especially with stuff that they have coming out.
And so if before this video goes live, I get contact to them, I'll let you know.
But I don't know if it's just not high priority because the World Cup's going on and it's
not that big of a deal of the things that are in there.
I have no idea.
Who you talked to where things go.
But of course, I did get reached out to.
And it seems to be about $120,000 worth the product.
We do have the unreleased products that I have not shown on camera.
there were some things that I didn't show
just because I knew that they were 2027
and still unreleased
and apparently that's what they went back
I don't know.
Okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, that's probably why the one of that.
This guy is a better man than me.
I'm gonna tell you why.
There are a lot of things that I would like do the right thing.
Like I think majority of the time
I'm always thinking is this the right thing to do
but in this particular case because it's Adidas
and they're a multi-billion dollar something
I would have made as much content as I could
on everything that I could.
I would have sent the unreleased sneakers to like a sneaker person.
You know what I mean?
I would have done content the right way.
And they're like,
oh,
you got 125K cars.
Yeah,
yeah,
yeah,
yeah.
Can you get like sued?
Yes.
You can get sued right here.
Yeah,
but think about it.
A billion dollar company is going to sue a small content creator like this dude.
If you start showing off unreleased products,
I could see that.
Yeah,
but that's what I'm saying.
I didn't,
I sent them to someone and I split that cheese.
How did you get them?
Fell off the back of a truck somewhere.
Or some guy who didn't know anything about
The culture bought a storage unit and sold me these shoes.
I knew that they were on release.
You know,
I would have,
from a sneaker head perspective,
I think that that would have been super cool.
Yeah,
that's crazy.
Unreleased 2027s.
The other thing is,
is like Adidas right.
Like,
Nike,
where's Nike and all this is what I want to know?
What's Nike doing?
You know?
I've no idea.
Like, dude,
they've fallen off so hard.
They shouldn't have brought back the fucking Wu tanks.
They shouldn't have brought back the undefeated four.
They just,
they just fucked it all love for everybody.
Mm.
What are you going to do?
Motherfuckers.
Ronnie Figg, unveils his first original silhouette of new balance.
I have seen those.
The gray ones are my favorite ones for very obvious reasons.
The red ones are fucking dope, too.
What's this silhouette, man?
Silhouette is the...
Like a shadow almost?
Yeah, yeah.
It's like the outline of it.
Base model.
Like you can tell a human silhouette just by looking at it.
You can tell what a dog is.
Oh, God.
The shape.
Yeah.

or a flower

adjustable toll

yeah look congrats to rani uh he is uh definitely
a piccazo of his era when it comes to fashion king collab in my opinion
no one no one does it better than him he could in my opinion and i'm no one to judge this man
but, you know, all the up shit, Disney stuff like he can go without.
But, you know, get that back, kid.
Do your thing.
