Agree

2021-06-01 13:09

nip should sign simple and play in the cis quali

2021-06-01 13:25

Honestly it's too late for that. The whole thing was an absolute cluster fuck that lasted for 2-3 weeks. This isn't something you can easily schedule. The best result is valve banning akuma and adjusting rmr points with the removal.

2021-06-01 16:32

The Pandora's box opened by Flashpoint should be closed. No match should be replayed ever. If Akuma was watching GOTV without delay, they should be disqualified and banned and that's it. Why Gambit should replay the RMR because of it? Why VP should earn their second place again, despite losing to Akuma? Why K23 should lose their playoffs finish despite losing to Akuma in swiss?

2021-06-01 13:06

Lmao, Akuma is trash. Even if they were clear, it's just a fluke run.

1 reply

they weren't.there is convincing evidence that's they are cheaters

2021-06-02 03:23

interesting to hear what will be the justification for recent defeats, in particular from akuma.

> recent defeats, in particular from akuma. you mean, like Akuma literally cheating? lol

2021-06-01 15:16

nope, i mean navi literally played bad against them

2021-06-01 18:55

I mean, even if Akuma was actually cheating, Na'vi played utter shite. But its all good now. They just rekt Etropiq on Etropiq's map pick :D

2021-06-01 18:57

Akuma cheaters

2021-06-01 13:03

Question: Did Blad3 consider getting back to his old role and find another coach?

2021-06-01 13:05

pog

Sick

cant wait

2021-06-01 13:07

B1ad3 is smart guy and usually quite straight forward about everything, even negative things and his own team. If spunj won't troll much, this might be actually worth watching. I wanna know what he thinks about recent addition to T1 teams "out of nowhere" like ztr to NiP or kyojin to vitality? Isn't it better to buy someone or get proper academy team than these huge gambles (which really doesn't pay off so far at all)?

2021-06-01 13:21

I think that Kyogin to Vitality was a gamble, but they had to try something else and also that not cost too much. Imo it's a good move when you look at where Misutaa is rn and the improvement he got dince he joined the team. The same can happen to Kyogin if they work well, because Kyogin is talented.

2021-06-01 14:56

It reminds me when device was on the show. Team did some bs and now he tries to explain everything

2021-06-01 13:18

this is cool

Great guest to have on, will have to catch the replay in the morning.

2021-06-01 13:32

2021-06-01 17:46

POG blade the worm

2021-06-01 14:04

extremum back in NA = revival

2021-06-01 14:39

Nice guest, maybe some questions about Akuma also

2021-06-01 14:43

POG

2021-06-01 15:07

nice, must-watch. B1ad3 is very experienced and a talented coach

2021-06-01 15:21

Is that why their win rate dropped 12% since joining?

2021-06-01 23:07

2021-06-01 15:49

Hope flamie will be back and play in upcoming major. He will doing great if major will be play on lan

2021-06-01 15:50

Maybe talk about real CIS problems like matchfixing?

2021-06-01 20:24

Very interesting to hear b1ad3s opinion about NaVi, Gambit and Akuma. Good stream so far :)

2021-06-01 20:51

based b1ad3 not afraid to say what he thinks

2021-06-01 20:50

The fact Blade is their coach just shows Navi management doesn't know shit about CSGO, they think stats means EVERYTHING and don't actually study the game. Blade is an absolute CLOWN, no wonder why Navi looks clueless out there.

2021-06-01 22:22

0/8

2021-06-01 23:01

Cry is free navi fans. Nobody cheated. You Navi fans can't even agree on how they cheated. LOOOL.

2021-06-01 23:06

Interesting When MIBR players said that CHAOS clips were suspected everybody hated on them Now blade directly accuses AKUMA with “100% of certainty” and people just buy into NAVI discourse Hmmm (Tbh I’m not defending them, just checking on the community double standards)

Cause leaf was directly accused of cheating which he didn't, whilst these guys are accused of using information from a second screen. Have you even followed it all before commenting?

When leaf was directly accused of cheating, buddy? Gaules said that in HIS opinion leaf could be cheating but he was not sure, and fallen just said the clips were suspicious. Blade said on this live he’s 100% sure AKUMA was cheating and even said names. Who directly accused who?

2021-06-01 22:41

Sorry, I mean leaf was accused of using hacks, which he didn't, while these guys is accused of using information from another screen. My point is leaf is not the first guy to have "suspicious" clips, while this story with Akuma is totally different, since you can literally see on the cams, that at least one of them is looking on his radar in weird situations.

Okay, I also found it very suspicious on the Akuma case and I also think they were cheating, but leaf did have more fishy clips on a bo3 than most players have on months of playing that’s why I found it suspicious as well

2021-06-01 23:10

I remember like 3 clips and they weren't even close to being suspicious but whatever, I'm not going back into that discussion once again.

2021-06-01 23:11

Blade said it is his opinion. It's okay to be convinced. We all agreed that Akuma came for nowhere, had the reputation of matchfixing and got the perfect read most of the time. Sure, Navi and VP got some tendancies, but Akuma's players was next level. I was not a crappy style who caught navi or vp outguard. I was the perfect call all the time. And the MIBR case, ppl liked to laught about mibr or about the brazilian community. Honestly, leaf was fishy and we will never know what really hapened.

2021-06-02 02:00

Another Chaos slander, MIBR already in downturn before losing vs Steel and co.

2021-06-02 10:22

leaf situation was exemplary witchhunt with all these additional streams, silly clips and accusations also no one wanted to sympathize with delusional mibr fans whose team was on the decline for a year i had the same feeling about akuma but now more and more evidence is coming up which never happened in the leaf case

2021-06-01 23:44

Even I think Akuma was a case of cheating, you cannot deny Leaf's clip was a bit odd too. If you compare MIBR and Navi, both was/are struggling. Ok, Mibr was next level, but Navi's fans can be delusionnal too by not accepting the defeat. I still trust the Blade's judgement, those guys are really fishy.

2021-06-02 02:06

Nice interview, thank you

2021-06-01 23:19

I knew it too that fckn Sergiz is cheating, i can easily see it from his face, he looking like total snitch and sanavabich im really hate this guy and hope he will banned for life and just go to work in Pyatorochka for 15k rubles per month

2021-06-01 23:35

How much? But seriously. How can you be so angry about the dude you've never seen

2021-06-02 22:31

The most honest and talkative guest of the show (but quite slow speaking). He probably thought this is interview (where questions are directed towards him), cause he shared his opinion about everything

2021-06-02 08:28

B1ad3- AKUMA WERE 100% CHEATING

2021-06-02 09:56

in cis they cheat alot,,,korruption,,,

2021-06-03 11:15

I almost got sputnik Covi-shield ftw

2021-06-08 05:48

lOOK THE NEWS,,,,,HAHHAAHHA cheaters

2021-06-09 15:48

Hahahaha Ebic

2021-06-09 18:06

A huge thanks to Mr B1ad3 for being so candid, very interesting. Cheers and best of luck in the coming tournaments, NaVi are a team that's always exciting to see in form. A note on AGO. I don't personally agree with the general sentiment. I think the point of having a zero tolerance rule is that you don't need to prove gain or intent (eg. a speeding fine). It reduces the grey area, you break the rule and you receive a penalty. D/Q makes sense to me for this rule because it keeps the penalty even for all teams regardless of their financial status etc. and with any luck it'll be sufficient to encourage teams to actually follow this basic rule so that people don't keep getting caught making silly mistakes and causing unnecessary controversy. I do agree that it's a massive shame for everyone at AGO who isn't responsible, hopefully for their sake nothing like this happens again. I'm not even quite done with the stream but it's late! Cheers again.
