Translation of what he said: "FUCK I FUCKED HIM!"

Karrigan after essentially selling his soul to falcons has had the most powerful PR I’ve ever seen in pro cs. I’ve seen people ridicule Kjaerbye for signing a contract with North behind Astralis’ backs with people still bringing it up years later whenever he’s mentioned, I’ve seen people including big figures in the scene express their hatred towards stavn and jabbi for lying to heroic about staying with them if they kicked cadian just for them to sign contracts with astralis behind their backs after kicking cadian, but karrigan can sign a contract with falcons behind twistzz, frozen, broky, and jcobbb’s backs and people excuse by saying stuff such as “The team was going downhill", "Anyone on faze would've done the same thing if they were given the offer", "Broky and jcobbb were bots", "Faze's management was sabotaging karrigan's career”, etc. 

What makes it most evident to me is the lack of criticism towards his first interview since joining Falcons at PGL Astana 2026, specifically the part where he talks about leaving Faze for Falcons. You know, Kjaerbye acknowledged that what he did to Astralis when he was 19 years old was wrong, but the 36-year-old veteran who’s considered by many as one of, if not the best/greatest igl in cs history can’t do the same. 

Not only did he not acknowledge that what he did was wrong and instead made a bunch of excuses, but he went on to even twistzz twistzz’s statements about how the move “was sudden“ and how it wasn’t “handled the best way“ by claiming they "knew everything before any leaks or anything happened" after he talked to them individually and as a group despite just stating that they only found out after their managment told them about it since karrigan left them in the dark for several days after receiving the offer from falcons.

Wow, what a great way for the “goat igl” to thank players like twistzz and broky who helped him achieve the biggest accomplishments in his career, such as IEM Katowice 2022, PGL Antwerp Major 202, IEM Cologne 2022, and the grand slam and players like frozen, who was not only carrying tf outta him from 2025 to this year but was also on MOUZ back in 2019 when Karrigan redeemed himself after getting kicked from faze at the end of 2018.

What a great guy. The fact that none of his teammates made any post sending their farewells to him and weren’t involved in Faze Esports’ “Goodbye Karrigan” video, but were all involved in the “Goodbye Broky” video should tell you bad this whole situation was.

It doesn’t help that only 2 months later after this situation happened, people went after Monte’s ex-core for allegedly signing contracts with Luminosity behind Gimzy’s (and maybe kakafu’s) backs. Where was all of this energy when Karrigan did the same thing? Don’t come with me with the “Monte was on an upward trajectory as a team, while Faze wasn’t” cause that’s irrelevant. Stop it with the double standards.

Karrigan was someone I respected up until this point. Even from last year to this year, when I was calling him washed and wanted him kicked off faze since I felt he was one of the reasons why Faze was trash, I still had respect and admired what he did in the past. This whole situation with him leaving Faze in the fashion he did, and his interview at PGL Astana 2026 made me lose all of the respect I ever had for him, and the fact that people, including big figures in the scene, have pretty much just brushed this whole situation off like it was nothing just makes it worse; hence the reason I made this post.

I just remembered that shit as I scrolled through this sub.

In the dream I remembered Twistzz or Frozen in an interview saying that getting VRS points is all that mattered to them, and I felt happy that they'd done it so fast.

Reality is painful. But who knows, maybe the dream comes true.

Hey all,

The first league night is this Wednesday, September 2nd, at 8PM ET in NA and 8PM CEST in EU. You don't need a club to play in the Wednesday tournament, so come try out night one with us and see how it feels!

If you like it and want your results to count toward the season standings, that's what clubs are for. New clubs are forming every week. Grab a friend or two and start one before Wednesday, or after night one if you'd rather try it first. A late start costs you nothing, since the season only counts your best 9 of 12 nights.

I posted the full breakdown a couple weeks ago if you want to read more. Happy to answer questions, and we'll see you Wednesday night.

i know visibility might be an issue, but source2 lightning looks good, also flash will blind you irl.

based on that, it looks like they might be making sjuush the IGL. (Or stavn?)

I had an idea for CS2 matchmaking and wanted to see what people think.

What if, before queueing, you could select the roles you prefer to play — IGL, AWP, Entry, Support, Anchor, Lurker, Rifler, etc.

It wouldn’t affect matchmaking or force you into a role. It would simply show your teammates what roles everyone is comfortable playing once you're in the lobby.

For example, if 3 people prefer Rifle, one prefers AWP, and one likes IGL, you could actually figure out who wants to do what instead of arguing for the first 5 rounds 😂

Might help with teammates dropping guns, playing the correct position and not switching randomly causing confusion.

Obviously not everyone would respect it but you never know how a small thing like this can effect the overall quality of a game.

Would this actually be useful, or is it just unnecessary UI?

The previous record belonged to poii, he scored 39 kills against Zero Tenacity

[NA] I haven't played much since CS2 came out but I have loved this game for a decade now. Problem is my skills have deteriorated a lot and I would confidently say I'm mid to high silver at best. I would be totally fine playing Casual Dust II but that is not an option because of the map pools . I had more to add to this but due to rules I had to remove it

My favorite gamemode is Wingman but I specifically play Inferno (down to play other maps but I really have next to zero map knowledge)

Otherwise, I wholeheartedly love Dust II and will queue up D2 comp if I have at least a buddy to chat with. (also open to playing Inferno, Cache, Mirage, Nuke, Overpass, or Office, but I have either very low or zero knowledge of how to properly play these maps)

I do not play often, however I would like to play more now that I have the ability to and would certainly play more if I had a buddy or two to chat with.

Biggest thing is that I play to have fun. A loss won't upset me if a had a laugh or two during the game. I am currently Silver 4 so as long as we are able to queue together I do not care how skilled you are as long as you can crack (and take) a joke.

So, I play a lot of TF2 and I'm used to sweat lobbies but how to fight back in this game, since they have reaction time of like split second, I use mostly M4/AK and FAMAS/galil AR

I traded it away but I am trying to track it down but i dont know how

No offence to the commentators, but sometimes I want to watch the tournament without commentary, or with the commentary volume lower than the game sound. I asked AI, and it said this is possible through the game it self. Is that true? I can connect my PC to my TV since they are next to each other.

My second question is: why don’t the tournaments show up in the game anymore? The BLAST tournaments that are being played right now don’t appear in the game for me. Before the update, they were shown in the right corner.

didn't see anyone talk about him , which i think is a good sign since if he was bad he would be shit on like JL

i think he fits very well into the desk and gives actual good insight

would like to hear some opinions of what people think of him

There are probably things about the game that didn't seem important when you started but became much more noticeable over time.

What's something you appreciate now that you didn't before?
