What are those little packets that I've seen these players use in their hands between rounds?

Lumi off to a great start, but I've gotten so used to fnatic having like 11-13 rounds against them before they start crushing their opponents that I can't bring myself to get excited yet

god this feeling so many times over, how many finals have we seen fnatic down to just pause and come back.

Here's a naked Zeus in a pool talking about why EnvyUs is a trash team now

EnvyUs is trash because they've been playing dota2 instead of CSGO.

ayo im an expert knife trader and that karambit is a 35/5/60 at 221°, you got the P1P at 3:3.5 which is solid, but not a top roll, so like moneywise, expect to get a large strawberry shake and combo meal deal from portillo's, and i recommend the giardinera

yo Geschwafel, if you're not full of poo poo, you wanna give me some trading lessons? i'm loving kidding. it's obvious.

It was a very different game back then. IIRC there were leagues that entirely banned smokes for a chunk of original CS because they performed so poorly on people's machines and had a tendency to crash you

I don't recall if that was a thing in CAL/CPL but I remember that being a thing in PG and OGL when those were things

Smokes were allowed in CAL/CPL but yeah it wasn't allowed in OGL

you could also shoot through everything (almost). Ts rushing B on dust2? Blast them through (what is now) the wall at car.

HEs also did fantastic damage even to armored opponents without having to hit the guy in the face with it.

LG's movement might be the best in the world, they dodge a lot of shots and make a lot of plays off of it. It's reminds me of top tier JW when he would be pretty unpredictable with his movement and angles.

Am I the only one who's under the impression that ESL casters collectively get crazy over fnatic? Like, they just spent 20 seconds praising JW for picking up the bomb and jumping up on Inferno grill while not being under fire and having his back covered by teammates.

To be fair they've been on top for close to two years now, it'd be stupid of them to sound Anti-Fnatic.
