    Why FURIA Will NOT Be A Top Team in 2026... (they're overperforming!)

    Will This 100 Thieves Project Succeed? Will We See A Proper Return For s1mple?

    Dive into a deep, no-filter breakdown of the latest Counter‑Strike roster madness as major orgs like 100 Thieves and BC.Game reshape their lineups heading into a new competitive season. This video covers why 100 Thieves may be choosing long‑term development over instant VRS invites, the risks and benefits of skipping a core buy, and how veterans like rain and dev1ce could guide a new generation of talent through online qualifiers. We also explore whether building from scratch can outperform buying a ready-made core, and how the structure of the new VRS ecosystem impacts every roster gamble.

    Has Vitality SURPASSED Prime Astralis? | Most Dominant First Year?

    Dive into this post-major Counter-Strike deep-dive with Thorin and Pimp as they break down why the new CS calendar finally feels like a real sports season, how the major as a year-ending event reshapes roster moves, and what player breaks should really look like in a modern, hyper-competitive scene.     The conversation then shifts into an all‑time greats debate: is Vitality’s 2025 run better than Astralis’s legendary 2018? They compare trophies, semi‑final streaks, Intel Grand Slam runs, and era difficulty, arguing that Vitality might have the highest “floor” of any CS team ever. They also praise apEX for actively chasing history, talk about the “wrestling villain” crowd dynamic, and dismantle lazy takes about “old CS being bad” by comparing how every era always plays at its own 100% level. They then discuss the donk vs ZywOo conversation.   If you enjoy era debates, behind‑the‑scenes details, and real talk about what it takes to stay on top in CS, watch the full episode, drop a comment with your pick (Vitality 2025 or Astralis 2018), and subscribe for more high-level Counter-Strike analysis.   Come join LFN hosts and fans for some fun competition in Mechabellum this holiday season!

    Is This The Most STACKED Major Playoffs In CS History?

    Get ready for one of the most stacked CS2 Major playoffs of all time. In this episode of Counter-Points, Thorin and Pimp break down why this Major format with VRS seeding has actually worked, how it created a logical narrative through all three stages, and why the playoff bracket is almost the dream scenario for competitive Counter-Strike. They talk about how teams like FlyQuest naturally hit their ceiling, why this playoff field is statistically one of the strongest ever, and why there’s basically no way to get a “bad” semifinal with this bracket.     Come join LFN hosts and fans for some fun competition in Mechabellum this holiday season!
