Interesting facts about G2 coming out. shox wanted to kick NBK and apEX and bring in ex6 and SmithZz, presumably with SmithZz as a rifler. KennyS said that was OK, bodyy was like nah I don't think so, so it was 3v2.

His justification was that there is bad chemistry within the team and that NBK and apEX are too individualistic and won't follow directions if things are going badly.

While I can see that having disagreeable players under a strict IGL like ex6 is a recipe for disaster, I can't say I'd be particularly enthused at the prospect of a team with bodyy, ex6 and SmithZz. Although in shox and Kenny you have one of the best riflers and AWPs, and theoretically a great IGL in ex6, I'm not sure the firepower is there with bodyy and SmithZz. Maybe in 2014.

What I remember hearing about ex6 is that he is super tight as a leader which is great if you have people who are at their best being ordered like bots but if you have shox you kind of probably should let him off the leash a bit. Obviously though more structure has to come from somewhere for g2. I would be a hard no on smithz coming back though. Maybe he would make more sense under ex6 but my memory of him is being a total anchor outside of dust 2. I can't imagine dumping him for apex or nbk and i can't think of anyone else you would want in. If you have to drop 2 maybe rpk and body as the guys willing to be ex6's bots to set up Kenny and just let shox be shox

Interesting fact about RL is that he's the thinnest skinned person on the planet. Has an absolutely colossal persecution complex since forever. Long before Twitter was making the rounds, he would delete posts and ban any users critical of him on cadred.org, which was the site he was Editor-in-Chief of. No matter how minor the complaint. However, imo he is a good desk host.

I read his maudlin backstory, filling in the other game gaps I wasn't so familiar with. Surely nobody in history is as adept at deliberately burning bridges and alienating people than RLewis. Even over a decade later he still throws himself little pity parties about how the world is out to get him lmbo

I literally remember seeing him moving to work at Breitbart and going :wtc:

Still, I don't necessarily fault any vidyagames journo for working somewhere, anywhere that pays you. Even the shittiest tabloid rags in the UK have (or used to have?) pretty unbiased review columns, or at least not contaminated by their "editorial".

RLewis being a POS not withstanding, I agree, journo in general is a tough nut, I have a few friends that got REALLY lucky breaks/knew important people, but without stuff like that you can very well start your career in a shithole just trying to make ends meet.

I wonder if simple on liquid would've worked if they tried it this year. The players have significantly more time between tournaments and for the first time ever. It's healthy for the (e)sport and may foster an environment for more successful mix teams in coming years.
