Dazed is also really natural on camera. He could easily become a top analyst in the scene if valve would let him.

He is really, really good and it's a shame he doesn't want to do it full time. I'm excited to see him and Yanko on the desk together when they get to the stadium.

SEriously. Crazy how you can talk about players in terms other than "lovely" and "amazing".

Thorins more of a 'historian' than an analyst. Too bad he gets used as the latter.

Xenology is an unnatural mixture of science fiction and formal logic. At its core is a flawed assumption...

he gets used as the latter because an esports historian is the sort of job you'd put on a parody cv

I like watching pros but never know when stuff is on. Is there anywhere that has aggregated event schedules?

Avios esports ticker is great. I'm kinda in the same boat in that I just don't give a drat about what teams are actually playing/winning, so I just click it, and it shows me all esports events happening at the time, for the games I selected.

He's more like that guy who's always in the pub watching football. He knows all the results and he follows the gossip. I dunno maybe he has a phd in counterstrike studies from Harvard but I doubt it.

Thorin is crass and annoying and a shitheel a lot or most of the time, but as much as it pains me to say it he usually knows what he's talking about

He doesn't exactly break the mold with his hot takes. Pretty hard to get "niko is a good player" and "NA teams are bad" wrong

Edit: then again, he was one of the people making fun of c9 even after stewie was performing so nevermind he's actually still thick as pigshit

He still is probably. But he improved from "anchor" to pretty decent. His form when first picked up by Luminosity was dreadful, the worst Tier 1 pickup I've ever seen. But I guess we're seeing now the basis he was picked up on, just took a long time to find his feet or smth.

he has games when he outplays FNX and Fer though. I think SK is pretty equal skillwise right now.

It's been said before but I love Dazed's segments so much. I'm sure YNK has similar analysis but I never feel as enlightened. Maybe it's the way he says/presents things.

I do wonder if there would have been more high profile matchfixing if their punishment wasn't as severe. Assuming there is next to none right now, that is.

I buy tickets to IEM Oakland because I live in the bay area, and I say, what the hell, I like Team Liquid, I'll get behind them. Buy a cap and I'll bring a mouse pad to try and get it signed. And then they lose in groups! OK, I'll cheer for C9 instead, they're also NA. And then they also lose in groups! NA CS!
