smooya got no filter, love it
that is why Steel is very chill with him
Same reason he has no team haha
Smooya is amazing, the definition of an english man
Smooya is GREAT and called me "fucking gay" for saying that. Which makes him even better!!
Striker standing up for Elige is heartwarming. He fucking will.
That was... prof :( -prof :(
He is aswell
I love Smooya onthe show man! He is not one of those boring guests who talk like they are at a funeral the whole time.
Mongolz about to make top 10 after this major
Yeah man, they have very good chances to make it 3-1, 3-2 and then play close matches to not bomb out of legends stage.
Make smooya a regular on the show!
YES. F people who said no to smooya
Smooya for president!!!
love smooya
Smooya is fun. I like Smooya.
SMOOOOYAAA
stop it!
SMOOOOYA
SMOOOOOOYA
The best episode in a while for sure
Good episode, smooya always bringing the good banter and speaks what he thinks. Definitely not my fav player on the server but love listen to him yapping
loved Smooya @ ESL Cologne :) that was awesome, wish BIG would have won that Tournament!
feels like smooya always gets invited when the rest is busy
"In awe of this guy, this man, this seasoned human"
what a fitting guest for the occasion 😂
31:44 insane in the membrane ahh laugh
its too perfect
The spunj disconnect absolutely got me cacking
great hltv confirmed
smooya rocking the naf merch gotta respect
Smooya may just be the best guest
this hurt to watch a bit at the end because everything beyond first round match ups can change if your predictions for the first round arent all correct and they kept going about "yeah but this will be the 0-2 match up if x loses"
I love smooya!
"in to the beach" :o
Navi getting underrated hard
Smooya is so good at putting the hosts in their places and asking tough questions. Here is a dude that lives and breaths counter strike.
I would love to see the goat dominate the game again. ❤
Sth tells me its not gonna happen. He doesnt look like he has fun with the game anymore, even in his streams.
looking forward to the YNK segment at the major.. F
PLS HAVE SMOOYA ON MORE
Who the F doesn't wants Smooya on the show. I want Smooya permanently on the show. !
MAJORRRRRR WOOOO
Didn't neymar knifed zywooo 5:56
anyone know how to create slideshow like "24 teams power ranking" or some instructions to do that?
Hey, it was just a simple graphic + presentation software for screenshare. So something like paint.net or photoshop + google slides or powerpoint could do the trick
Make smooya a regular on the show. He can spill all the jucie beens from playing fpl
When he wins a Major and then retires he is ours
speak his minds, others mate secrets everything, long live the rat king
Fucking love Smooyaaaaaaaa
SMOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOYA
Thanks for the news about Apex losing 13-6/7 in their boot camp Smooya...gotta rework my entire pick ems now...this will be the 5th rework but i swear this is it lol
Now, I was a critic but you got it wrong Chad. I wasn't disappointed in Smooya per se, but rather how the guests could have much greater variety. Fucking give me forest already, I've asked for a century. I'll take ztr too tho! ty
true, nothing against smooya but mofo been in the show multiple fking times already. not like he add anything of a value to a show anymore(cuz hes in low tier scene n no interesting progression in his career that people care about anymore) plus theres alot of new/old people in the scene that never been in the show yet.
Pls invite smooya often :D
Mongolz Playoffs run in 3 days
SMooYAaaaa
Notification squad 🎇
Smooya is a great guest, funny, honest, and has a very different view and insight into the scene. Youre a bum if youre bitching about smooya
ive barely played a cs match in my life where im not half baked.
💩
Is Smooya from UK? I thought he was but his accent has a vaguely eastern european tinge. Is it from playing CS with other Europeans?
Too much time playing on BIG 😳
You could something similar with twistz - north american yet sometimes a tint of european when doing interviews its natural it happens i guess
Hes doing the schteve mclaren thing
Just your typical northern mess of an accent
Rat king himself!
NaVi before Heroic because Wonderful is a better AWPer than Nicodooz
Heroic has a better IGL and more consistent players and Nicodooz pops off enough
Nertz though
What the fuck is up with that graph with teams going into the major 21% is larger than 31% and 2% is almost as large as the two others.
I feel like they are underrating Navi a bit too much. So far this year they've only lost once against Spirit (only team that took a map from them), once against Falcons and once against VP. Not a single loss to bad teams they 100% should win. I'd probably have them like 7th behind VP and EF probably 11th.
falcons is shit
still waiting on the goat's return to domination
smooya is still playing, but in tier 7
@@know_ledge i thnk hes talking about the actual goat, s1mple
@@know_ledge i mean s1mple but smooya when it's fpl: Dominating smooya when it's playing in a tournament: *when tf did he last play*
but the pickem is wrong right? you have to pick 2 3-0 and 0-3 and 6 go 3-1/3-2
IS pick em challenge on and im blind and cant find it ingame ? Anyone who know plz answer and do not troll,ty
Hasn’t been released yet afaik
do it link
I think it started today
koi 0-3 is crazy, they won to spirit before kato, they have a decent chance for wining 1 game at least
EF at 6th is insane, they are nowhere near being playoff favorites
they'll fold in the first three matches.
"He hasnt played in 6 months". Um He streams it almost daily.
Officials are different
Smooya zip it up brother 💀
smooya baiting spunj
mlung2001 : "Movement accuracy is way higher, ur counterstrafe doesnt need to be as precise to get kills u wouldn't have gotten in csgo, sprays don't work cause of subtick so everyone just bursts and taps now, peekers advantage is way stronger so playing smart and holding an angle when u have better aim rlly isn't an option as someone who is mechanically worse than u will Ferrari instant dink u. I'm sure u experienced this. Everyone looks way better at the game, but thats just because of how much easier and less skill based the game has become."
i too thought that sprays don't work, but then donk showed that now famous spraydown against faze eco at overpass A site and my doubts dissolved. Donk sprayed long range and was shifting and moving while doing it. Spray is great, our skill is broken.
Milan "Like" Svejda
Milan "blah blah blah" Svejda
Putting on the pounds like a good englishman
let s1mple be s1mple. What you learn in a month, he will learn in a week
Lets be honest he hasnt done anything really noteworthy for the past year
@@luca7675 he hasn't even played in the last 6 months
@@0l3g good thing a year is more than 6 months :)
@@luca76751.24 at EPL S17 and 1.19 at EPL S18 isn't noteworthy? 1.24 at IEM Rio 2023? Bro had like 4 EVP-worthy performances. You filter for the last 12 months and he looks like a Top 5 player. We all like to clown on s1mple, but let's not kid ourselves here. He is the best player in CS history and ZywOo has a decent way to go before he can change that.
Who has a problem with Smooya?? clearly no-one that listened to the last one with Smooya
The VP hate is crazy. They will be in the semis
barely semis
Someone show smooya the clip of Neymar knifing ZywOo xD
lvg 24? 😂😂😂we will see we will see
why do they keep putting random episode numbers, and what is the pattern?
Smooya's European accent is rather adorable
Smooya been watching too much Ohnepixel, same mannerism.
Whoever wins the Ef vs Mongolz will go 3-0.
just got the format wrong
PagMan Mongolz will make playoffs
Guys... I dont want to be an a55hole but in the Metizport match snappi had 19 kills on 3 combined maps... Its pretty clear that they lost because of him and not simple. I think simple played fine considering the break and gameswitch.
U think Snappi is bad?! NIP will keep Alex. He got 6 kills during a bo3 vs fucking SAW.
Na bro Snappi is far better then all of us but if falcons want to get T1 they cant afford a low fragging igl.
Except, Simple was paid Snappis entire yearly salary for a 10-20 showing on Vertigo against part time CS players...
Underestimating G2 professor bot
I want to watch this but can't stand smooya. What an ordeal.
You also don't like spunj, maybe this show isn't for you
@@slips. ESL shill Chad you mean? 😳
like why are there always these weird ahh bots on the vods lmao
seems like you overrated Eternal Fire and Heroic on the power ranking..
who would you put above them? Navi and C9 are trash
@@torinkeenan2718 they are inconsistent, but i'd say they could deal with Heroic in h2h, at least C9 already won them, and Navi won Eternal Fire
@@torinkeenan2718 navi destroyed g2 and eternal fire in the last 2 months,
Big time. People thinking EF has potential when in reality they just hit their peak and the only way is down from here.
@@19blvckthe problem is that Navi is inconsistent. At their best they can beat almost any team. But a lot of the time they play half as good as they should
1:33:53 did this mf say es three tag wtf
When you put KOI last place 0-3 you make a mistake; our romanian guy will 3-0! LETS GO KOI! ❤💛💙
Navi won g2 4 times already. Loat like 2 maps out of 15. Wtf :D
They're judging based of recent form. Not start of season matches.
Literally the reverse of when G2 was destroying NaVi in at the start of '23, but even still first time NaVi beat them they sent them to showdown and yet G2 went to win Cologne afterwards. Meanwhile the cabinet stayed dry last year for them, but this W0nderful lineup looks promising. Still think G2 is better if the important players peak for both teams though.
Pog
frozen as a guest twice in a row? smh
What's the implication here? smooya looks like frozen? no way
@@MusicJunkie37 At the beginning of the podcast there's Frozens name under Smooyas webcam,instead of his.
@@Xenolicz Ah, I skipped right to the 2nd timestamp so I didn't notice. Sorry OP, good one.
I will put g2 as no.1 in power ranking since they have the most firepower on paper, if Niko and monesy are on fire, g2 is destroying everyone, even spirit and vitality. Plus, I really want Niko to win a fucking major at least
copium
Vitality is laughing at this comment
if niko and monesy and spinx and zywoo are on fire simultaneously, vitality wins.
The mongolz should be 8 cloud 9 have lost to the mongolz
Leave s1mple alone💢
Lynn Vision will be the easiest 0-3 team barring a total upset.
Lynn vision is actually good, but not decent. They did not have a chance to go against middle tier teams in europe and America as the Mongolz was taking all the spots. I think they can beat pain, legacy, amkal. Not sure about the others.
like like like
putting navi behind heroic and ef is just a joke, heroic has only beat absolute dogass teams and lost even to og 2-0 recently... ef hit their peak and is in rapid decline
Hehehe, and then they change the format xD
Movistar KOI 0-3 what an idiots jajajaja
Excuse me?
Sorry Valve has done it again, Pickems are no more that easy or entertaining
smooya finally admitting he was trash in csgo lol
Striker is annoying!!
Smooya is actually so annoying. He makes a lot of opinions which doesn’t make sense, and he talks way too much to the point where he’s just cutting the others off rather than letting them finish talking. People might like him cos of his unique personality but he definitely doesn’t know how to talk on a podcast. Personally not fan and I’ve never disliked any guest before
some people are just passionate and have no self awareness
So nip is going for heavygod, artfrost and who exactly? i keep hearing mangoGs and i rewind like 800 times alrdy
Dude, haven’t you heard of MangoGs, the new prodigy? Def my fav player rn ngl
blud is waffling@@joseblua6566
its Magnojez for anyone wondering,lol
magnojezz is the new prodigy coming from team spirit academy. He outaims donk at times and they play together a lot. He's 2 years older than donk, though.
@@kittuojha sweet, nip went for 2 Russians instead of headtrick. I guess their Chinese sponsors won in the end
Put some respect to Asian csgo boys. LVG might upset some teams. Mongolz might go for 3:0. Mark my words.🫵
No matter what Mongolz will make it to Legends. Should they win their first match against EF, they are going 3:0.
2 hrs and 20 min podcast and maybe 20 min is actually good jesus what trash show Throin's shows are way better than this no wonder he makes fun of you guys he's absolutely right about HLTV
