    jL SHOULD NOT BE AN ANALYST...

    jL should not be an analyst for any more matches at IEM Krakow! This episode delivers some of the hottest and most chaotic takes in Counter-Strike, starting with a bold claim that jL shouldn’t be an analyst at IM Krakow until he proves himself at smaller events. The hosts dive into MOUZ’s struggles, arguing the team is “too soft,” lacks energy, and may be held back by an overly polite internal culture that avoids conflict or accountability. We finish with a look at a spicy prediction on whether s1mple will retire soon. Raycon's Essential Open Earbuds are here to help you go for gold!

    NIKO RUINED COUNTER-STRIKE

    We break down whether NiKo ruined CS by pioneering the super‑team era, analyze PARIVISION’s rise and why Jame’s teams may never reach another Major playoff, reveal why modern rivalries lack the identity of classic era matchups, and discuss how today’s meta pressures every young talent to chase super teams instead of building long-term cores.   Visit https://prizepicks.onelink.me/LME0/HOTTAKE and use code HOTTAKE and get $50 in lineups when you play your first $5 lineup!   Raycon's Essential Open Earbuds are here to help you go for gold!

    WHY SPIRIT GOT WORSE... THEY WON'T WIN!

    The crew breaks down why claiming apEX isn’t a Top 3 IGL is a “stupid take” and argues he’s actually the best leader in Counter‑Strike right now. They also revisit the s1mple BC.Game saga, explaining why his late‑season burnout may not matter now that he finally has a real roster behind him. The discussion turns to soulfly’s tough start with Aurora and why he may be labeled a “bust” despite the issues being out of his control. Finally, the hosts deliver a bold prediction: Team Spirit will win at most one event this year, citing role issues, recycled players, and unrealistic expectations around donk’s impact.     Visit https://prizepicks.onelink.me/LME0/HOTTAKE and use code HOTTAKE and get $50 in lineups when you play your first $5 lineup!     Raycon's Everyday Earbuds Classics are here to help you crush your new year goals!

The boys start by absolutely dismantling a viewer suggestion to play the “decider” map first in best-of-threes, using it as a springboard to talk about MR12, series pacing, and why format changes aren’t the solution.     Visit https://prizepicks.onelink.me/LME0/HOTTAKE and use code HOTTAKE and get $50 in lineups when you play your first $5 lineup!     Raycon audio products are up to 20% off this holiday season!
