"I think I've lived long enough to see competitive Counter-Strike as we know it, kill itself." Summary of Richard Lewis' stream (Long)
I want to preface that the contents of this post is for informational purposes. I do not condone or approve of any harassments or witch-hunting or the attacking of anybody.
Richard Lewis recently did a stream talking about the terrible state of CS esports and I thought it was an important stream anyone who cares about the CS community should listen to. Vod Link here: https://www.twitch.tv/videos/830415547 I realize it is 3 hours long so I took it upon myself to create a list of interesting points from the stream so you don't have to listen to the whole thing, although I still encourage you to do so if you can. I know this post is still long but probably easier to digest, especially in parts. Here is a link to my raw notes if you for some reason want to read through this which includes some omitted stuff. It's in chronological order of things said in the stream and has some time stamps. https://pastebin.com/6QWTLr8T
Intro
"The last month has convinced me, that we are going to be heading into a dark place for Counter-Strike esports in 2021."
"I think I've seen the scene essentially kill itself."
"For the past 5 to 6 years, we've basically been in a holding pattern of people coming into our game wanting to run it, wanting to run all of the esports and wanting to profiteer and its been sort of a concerted effort to drive them off and push them away."
"We're spread way too thin."
"If Riot don't get involved and stop the scumbags that have moved over to Valorant from getting their feet under the table, Valorant is going to have real problems."
RL thinks too much has happened all at once for us to do anything except watch it play out, like:
Recent CSPPA strike against BLAST
ESIC failures and them not being supported enough
Teams cheating i.e. coaches/bugs
Widespread match fixing
The Pandemic
"People who try to hold bubble events are so incompetent and fuck up and people get the 'rona and its their fault."
"People who say Flashpoint is a bubble is full of shit and is a lie and people are now suffering for that lie."
"To save money they let people go home and break the bubble for a week."
"Not just Flashpoint peoples decision, they have a partner that handles the production." (hinting FACEIT)
"People are trapped in hotels essentially under house arrest because of COVID restrictions and has fucked peoples lives up."
"It's all too much, all of this incompetence, all of this greed, maybe we ride it out."
RL says he has talked to the Riot devs (the ones working on Valorant) and says, "They are so cognizant of all the fuck ups and all the problems we have in Counter-Strike."
He continues to say that this is factored into their business plan and that we never had a competitor, but just so happens to have one coincide, when we are at our worst.
CSPPA - Counter-Strike Professional Players' Association
"Who does this union really fucking serve?"
RL believes that the CSPPA is a mockery.
He points out the hypocrisy that they wouldn't strike for the pros who were kicked out of ESL Pro League, or for Jamppi or dream3r.
He also says ESL paid CSPPA and are racketeering and many other TOs have to pay them to get their "seal of approval"
He says they would strong-arm TOs saying "well if you don't give us the money, these guys are so we'll just have to commit to playing their event."
Also points out that they will strike against a competitor they are not in agreement with (Flashpoint)
RL: "It's what it says about every other time you haven't done it and it's about every time you don't do it now moving forward." "The issues they've chosen to ignore this year alone are embarrassing."
Then he points out that there was no strike for Valve qualifiers even if we have no major but Jamppi and dream3r can't play in them.
"and Valve have said 'Oh yeah we know actually their stories are accurate, Jamppi didn't cheat, now in a legally binding document. Yep dream3r did have his account hacked in a LAN café', but they still can't play. Where is the fucking solidarity? Gone. Doesn't exist. It's not important [because] it doesn't affect you." "That's what the union does right now, it looks after all the tier 1 people."
He says the CSPPA doesn't represent all players all the time and has driven a divide where you have the haves and have-nots
"We have a tier of players that operate with impunity and do not help their tier 2 or tier 3 players out at all." "If you are not a tier 1 player you do not matter, they don't event ask your opinion."
He tells chrisJ to admit and own the fact that the reason he didn't speak up during the ESL Pro League debacle is because it didn't affect him
"They are looking after some players at the expense of other players. How the fuck is that a union?"
He says the BLAST situation is a reasonable dispute and supports the players but is not the right time for a strike and have not even identified the correct enemy
He thinks players are lashing out now due to previous incidents and are upset that BLAST are working with ESIC
He stated that CSPPA shouldn't beefing with ESIC and they should be working in harmony
He says what they need to do is talk with the teams/organizations that have sold that right to BLAST
RL: "Your employers, the people who pay you that massive exorbitant salaries, when you don't stream and you don't do interviews and you offer no value beyond your ability to click heads and you get 25k dollars a month." "Why don't you talk to them about it? Oh right. You're happy to take away BLAST's paper, but you don't want to risk your own."
"I am seeing such unbelievable cowardice from the players here with the battles you choose."
"Where was the strike action when in the qualifiers for the world championship, there were teams and players engaged in huge conflicts of interest?" "Where was the strike action when your image rights were taken and sold to every league you've ever been in every union type organization you've ever been associated with like, WESA, to your org every time you sign a contract, to the leagues you play in."
"Your image rights are essentially worthless now, there's about 10 fucking separate parties that have them, and how many of them are giving you anything for it? Not much pretty much your org by the way."
"That's a big issue. Your image is you, your image is your brand. What are you doing about that? Nothing."
He is also angry at SirScoots who is "popping off" at people on Twitter who all want the same thing, which is 'A unified Counter-Strike scene for everybody, that works for everybody, that has a sustained ecosystem that nourishes everybody.' "We don't have that now."
He also says their rankings are a joke
"Just so happened, oh look TACO, that very important prominent member of the board, we pushed his team artificially up when they weren't even in the fucking top 20, not by a long shot."
He also says the ineptitude of the CSPPA cost Flashpoint a monitor sponsor
"Is it really a player association or is it like a fucking agency at this point"
ESIC - Esports Integrity Commission
"They have been put in an impossible position."
RL says that Ian Smith, the founder of ESIC and who was done work in mainstream sports, is a good and honorable man who has dedicated his life to integrity and sports. He takes on both sides, ensuring match fixers are punished, but also doing appeals and ensuring those punishments were fair.
"ESIC is a tiny organization" and are in need of money, "They didn't run a grift like the CSPPA did."
"Saying 'you want our support and you want the players to turn up you better pay us.' They don't do that."
"Had startup seed money from MTG and since then they've been pecking shit with the hens."
Ian Smith made sure that the money given by MTG (Modern Times Group, parent company of ESL, ESEA, DreamHack) was nothing more than startup money and wouldn't be in debt to them
Ian Smith sat down with other TO's not part of MTG and wanted to partner with them. They declined and called ESIC "ESL spies and we will never align ourselves with you"
"They only were just able to afford, hiring a PR guy on a full time salary to deal with the press and send out those releases you've seen, this year."
"They have a tiny group of staff investigating these things and they have taken on the biggest problems in our scene: the cheating, the match fixing."
ESIC have had "unprecedented levels of cheating to deal with, because there's something wrong with our scene ever since we went online. There's something wrong with it, everyone's lost their fucking pride and self-respect and they got no passion for it anymore, so they think fuck it, what's in it for me?"
He calls out coaches who are talking about players rights when they would rob and steal from them.
Also says more coaches being banned are coming
He also points out flaws in community's reaction to the punishments to coaches bans: "Half of the cunts still have jobs and some of the cunts got new jobs. We didn't even shun the cheating coaches."
ESIC have "found I think another 2 or 3 exploits like that one and they are investigating them all right now, it's going on right now."
"I know that there are going to be more names getting banned, again."
"So they're doing that on a skeleton crew while, investigating 3 continents worth of match fixing in MDL and semi-pro level CS." "They're doing this with half a dozen people." "They don't have any money or any help. People barely even fucking cooperate with them, they are treated like pariahs. It's ridiculous."
"Why are the CSPPA popping off at ESIC on my Twitter timeline, when you should be working together." "because its all about what's in it in for me." "2020, the online era of CS: 'What is in it for me?' How can I cheat, how can I get my paper, how can I bleed this scene one last time before I fuck off and play shooty shooty bang bang Riot Games babys first fps."
RL says that in the CIS region, teams have gone to tournaments and have been eliminated multiple times by the same team. We found out they were cheating and those players who lost, have been cut from their roster, careers ended because of cheaters.
Stream Sniping
"They're all at it in the online era, they're all at it, they're all cheating, they're all using exploits, probably that see through smoke bug got used a bunch of times"
RL talks about how there is no integrity from dead (the player), always denying when caught doing something
On the topic of 'BLAST never said we couldn't stream snipe': "Lies, BLAST never said you could do that, they had to sort of retcon it." "because what happened after that they fucking started snitching and squealing"
"Suddenly you had like, 10 of the top 15 teams in the world, staring into the abyss of being banned for 6-12 months in line with ESIC recommendations."
He says that ESIC was put in a tough situation and couldn't enforce the bans because it would have resulted in killing CS. What resulted was, BLAST, ESIC, and teams came together and gave them a warning and told them, in RL's words "don't do this again or you're gonna get got."
He then says the top teams brushed this off and didn't give a fuck
The new MiBR team playing Flashpoint, that wasn't involved in the previous incidents are doing it again (stream sniping). He gave credit to Flashpoint for the quick resolution and punishment and respect for cogu's response to the situation.
"ESIC came out and said, once more, 'Guys, zero tolerance from now on.'" RL then got upset at community's reaction calling ESIC "pussies" for their non enforcement and said if we want competitive CS we cant ban the top 10 teams.
He points out how players have no integrity and will do anything for an edge as long as they won't get detected or banned or it's within a grey area.
"All of this shit was mad avoidable, even in the pandemic era."
He talks about why aren't we filming them. Why aren't there representatives for leagues and tournaments making sure players aren't cheating?
Match Fixing
"How many years have we let our scene be fucking pillaged by these greedy cunts?" "We just let it happen."
RL says that gambling and skins betting which existed in moderation was "accelerated and blown up by the Call of Duty greedy fucks."
"Never forget TmarTn was on the board of EnVyUs." "His website, CSGOLotto, they had a bunch of off-the-books sponsorships." "NBK promoted them. People forget."
"Those people who had access to the skins, go to the players" "Even people like s1mple, best player in the world, even he scammed knives and skins off fucking fans."
Owners of skin casino sites would approach pros and lend them skins to use in tournaments and possibly keep them after reaching a deal
Players would tip off inside info about matches and teams in exchange for skins. Info such as: roster changes, how they played in scrims
They would use this info to bet and subvert the odds on their sites. "That happened religiously, I can't even tell you how many times it happened."
"I had access to the biggest database of information, from an inside betting circle in NA, and it would take information and screenshots from other pro players, who were feeding them info in exchange for money or skins."
"Some of these players are still playing." "Incredibly, there are players still in the CSPPA today, complaining about the BLAST recordings, that were embroiled in this murky shit back then."
RL also says that there were tournaments where teams contrived with each other, who should throw, who should win.
"There's a handful of people that are trying to fucking clean it up, and you think you get something over the line and you see something like the CSPPA and it's run by corrupt fucking chuckle heads, and now you've got another corrupt body you have to fight on a fucking daily basis, it's demoralizing."
"It's too far gone. Our entire semi-professional scene is compromised."
"It's rife guys, I'm not going to lie any more. It's not just China, it's not just Russia, it's here, it's NA, it's Europe, it's Australia, so much more than you think, so much more than we can prove."
"I get sent chat logs all the time […] and they're morons, these players, short-sighted, amateur, morons and they're doing it on WhatsApp." People would get cut from the bets because they want to make more money, then they leak the logs. He says, from the chat logs, they spread "little" bets across every site they can (400 to 1k dollars) to prevent shifting odds
He says the scumbags who've fucked off to Valorant will do the same there if Riot doesn't do something and says Valorant "is an esports scene heading for a very early fall based on the sheer volume of scumbags that are already there."
"That's tier 2 CS in a nutshell these days. They know they're never going to play in a major, so what's the punishment?"
"All of these tier 2 fucks that are fixing games now they are like the fucking mafia compared to iBuyPower" "These guys are working with organized criminals to fix entire seasons worth of games. That's what's going on in your tier 2 CS."
"I'm literally being told that there are players fixing games at all levels of Chinese esports and motherfuckers with guns are turning up to team houses and stuff."
North America
"Everyone in NA has left we've lost a continents worth of support during this pandemic and Valve haven't said a fucking word."
RL says the Call of Duty "goblins" that destroyed CS for years are the same people who are now trying to leave CS. "The nerve to treat a game where the fans, and the community, and the TO's were nothing but good to you." "To just kick the players out now and go and leave and say 'It just doesn't make financial sense.' Oh you'll slither back when we have a major though for them stickers won't you."
There's a cascading effect in NA where people don't bother with CS anymore and people like Chaos suffer.
He says NA team owners are incompetent for always wanting it easy and always wanting a guarantee on their investment without skill or nuance.
RL says he would be able to market a team correctly and would have a good ROI and also points out how TSM wouldn't even be bothered to tweet that their team, which was one of the best in the world, was playing at the Major.
He also says not all NA owners are like that, compliments and respects Jason Lake who nearly lost everything to keep Complexity going.
He then calls out the incompetence in Infinite Esports when they acquired OpTic Gaming and bought an Indian CS team.
He says HECZ is not to blame here and that they couldn't tell forsaken was cheating when it was so obvious.
They measured his reaction time to the likes of dev1ce and s1mple
When an enemy showed up on his screen he won that duel something like 44% of the time
"was like the number 1 player in the world statistically"
He brought a laptop to their bootcamp and refused to use the high end PCs that hey provided
He respects Andy Miller (NRG CEO) and HECZ but says that the attitude of not being able to easily monetize their teams is "piss weak" and there needs to be a risk.
He says Chaos EC shouldn't be cutting their roster and should be competent enough to be able to figure out how to make money off their team.
He says there are still opportunities in NA and people are panicking and pulling out, and says Valorant will be the same if not worse.
He also says "bums" who couldn't even get out of groups in NA competitions, are making crazy money in Valorant and says it will continue to inflate.
He also said that he heard rumors that EG (Evil Geniuses) are done.
He also thinks that the rumors of a Valve franchised league from before was sparked up from "these lazy fabled weak NA fucking team owners basically trying to see if Valve would bite at the hook if it was dangled and they didn't"
Slasher says NA team owners are really in favor of franchised leagues because they want to make more money. "Most of the powerful team owners right now are on board with ditching this third party organization structure, or they are trying to play this power politics with all the TOs, and that is contributing to a lot of the problems there"
RL says that Riot has proved they can run a franchised league (LCS) and will be profitable in 2021 which is what a lot of team owners care about and says the competition will only serve to snatch people away from CS.
RL continues to say, "I am so sick and tired of what we have done to this scene, I am just exhausted with it." "I think we have legitimately fucked it, I really think we have. I think we're staring into almost like a CGS (Championship Gaming Series) wasteland in NA." "Counter-Strike esports is a fucking joke."
Talent
"TO's have treated CS talent like absolute human garbage for years now."
RL says that people like Sean Gares and ddk switching over to Valorant isn't for financial reasons because they are making less over there.
He points out that TO's can't even give talent a 3 month in advance calendar.
Because of the pandemic TO's won't hire certain people and some people are working more hours for the same money.
He says we as a community don't respect journalists enough which is why we don't have good journalists.
He also says DeKay is leaving the scene soon and that Thorin is close to leaving also
He says he had to talk a caster down from quitting and was struggling to find reasons.
He says that DreamHack told Vince they would hire him but not if he wants to stick with dusT and says that this is the norm in esports. "Constant leveraging of people against each other." and says this is why we don't have a talent union.
New gen casters are getting put into shit situations and the community's reaction to them is adding fuel to the fire
He says the reason Moses left was because of the terrible conditions
He says that Anders had to constantly leave his family and kid because someone fucked up or broke promises and had to constantly tell his kid to their face that "daddy can't be home this weekend."
He says that esports has always been a lie to sell you this dream, "Meanwhile there's about 2% of the cunts getting all the checks."
Valve
"Anything that Riot does, is better than Valve's inaction"
Slasher says that the larger aspect of esports as a whole compared to other entertainment mediums and Valve's lack of inattention are the bigger problems. He continues saying that the fact that Valve let their game be ran as an esport, they need to take on the responsibilities of it.
Both Slasher and RL wants Valve to take control but not on the level of Riot Games, there needs to be a balance.
In case it was ever a question: Gabe Newell has been to 0 CSGO Majors.
RL calls Valve out saying they could have done something during the gambling era.
He says Valve used to come to the majors, but doesn't think they do anymore.
RL had met with Valve at the Cluj-Napoca Major and had tried to appeal iBP's indefinite punishment and had also gave Brax's life story:
A recent family member passed away, they had lost a lot of income, they had to live in trailer, iBuyPower did not pay any salaries, and was pressured by family to make money who didn't support his career.
RL said that Valve told him, "How dare you try and make us feel guilty." "We shouldn't feel bad about enforcing the only thing that matters that we need to make players afraid of: cheating and match fixing"
RL also tried to share other info about match fixing and nothing came of it
RL points out that Source 2 or a new engine is not something you will want based on the experience of transitioning from CS 1.6 to CS:S. "Valve's track record with brand new engines being launched, not fucking great from what I remember."
Slasher says "If there is anything the community should do, is pressure Valve to hire a community manager."
They say that we need a commissioner, a community manager (not the person who runs the Twitter who posts memes all day), then we need to have a circuit
RL reiterates that Valve doesn't care about CS esports and says they need to change the culture at Valve to make them care about CS esports
Slasher says a systemic problem is making it so working on CSGO would be a bad decision for you as an employee for Valve
He also hasn't talked to Valve in ages and have sent over bugs and cheats and doesn't get emails back anymore
Slasher says we should be directing attention at the developer leads, pointing out Ido Magal, if he even is still the project lead
RL thinks that Ido and Brian are the only people that "vaguely even give a fuck about CS" and were the only people that RL recalled that actually read Reddit and paid attention from time to time
"It is really fucking precarious. Somebody has got to step the fuck up and start giving a shit"
Slasher suggests org owners, with CSPPA, with ESIC, with TOs have a concerted effort against Valve
"Riot Games are doing better things than Valve in the esports space" which is something RL didn't think he'd say.
"People who used to be talent, working with unions, arguing with other talent, when the unions fucked them over, can't understand their perspective, TOs fucking over broadcast talent, broadcast talent wanting to leave and go and work for orgs, orgs having no money, Valve might take coaches away because all the coaches are cheating, ESIC has about 4 people in a fucking call doing the investigations, everyone thinks they're spies for ESL, ESL are just the evil fucking overlords wanting to rule the scene and will just somehow, like cockroaches outliving a nuclear bomb, and Valve are in a fucking holiday in Hawaii thinking about the next Dota character because they don't give a fuck about us."
Closing Statements
"We've peaked. If we want to sustain and exist, now is the time to figure it out. No esports lasts as long as this, we've already done 8 years. We've already broke the records. We have got to figure out a way to coexist and drive the negative forces out and we need to do it as a collective and we're not doing that."
RL compared the Counter-Strike scene to the people on the Titanic who ran around with guns robbing people while the boat was sinking.
"We have given up on being a respectable esports scene." "We are now a conduit to make money for those who want to just milk it, just have one last ride, one last roll of the dice. It's done." "What a fucking mess. What have we done to our fucking scene?"
"There's just too much self-interest driving all of this." "I don't see a way we stop the dominoes." "When it's that bad, when there's that many dishonest people that ESIC have to come out and say that if we punish them all there's no one left. What does that tell you?"
"How many opportunities have we had to clean house? How many times have we said, 'this must never happen again', and another scandal." "The entire skins betting operations was the biggest criminal conspiracy in esports ever executed and no one has been punished for it." "The people who could be driving that don't want to."
"Right now people are fans of those organizations because the scene has value. It is worth being a fan of Astralis because they are excellent at Counter-Strike. It is worth being a fan of s1mple because he is the best player in Counter-Strike, maybe the exception of ZywOo. If the scene is devalued, if the scene loses its meaning, those things lose its meaning too, and people will leave, people will stop tuning into the games. I have seen it happen in multiple esports, this is not my first time at the rodeo. I am getting big Brood War vibes right now and I don't like it."
"The role you play in all of this as fans, as viewers, as listeners, as consumers of esports content, it's absolutely imperative that you know who the good guys are. It's absolutely imperative that you use your voice. It's absolutely imperative that when things are bad, you know who, at least, is trying to make them good, and you have to apply your criticism to the right targets."
He continues saying it's no good in continuing to attack ESIC and saying how they are bad, ESIC have it hard
He says CSPPA are on the right side of the argument on BLAST but have been on the wrong side of many arguments many times.
"If you are not willing to stand along side the weakest member of the union, with the least amount of influence, and the least amount of power, then it is not a union at all and you shouldn't pose as one." "You wanna serve a bunch of special interest do it, everyone else in esports fucking does, but do not pose as something you are not." "We love the players. I've been fighting for players rights for as long as I've been able to, but the CSPPA is not what we needed."
"They are not applying the pressure to the right people, they are not fighting the right battles, they are not helping their weaker members."
He says what orgs have done by keeping or hiring coaches is bad. "When you give up on holding an appreciable standard, you've lost the scene" "Competition matters, rules matter, punishments matter, achievements matter, excellence matters" "If you start stripping that away, you have nothing" "You guys need to take that knowledge and apply it sensibly."
"Valve has sold you all down the river, they sold everyone in the esports scene down the river, tournament organizers are selling their talent down the river. Don't hate on them for sounding tired after a 16 hour day. Don't hate on them because the hype for a matchup they've seen for the 20th time in the past 3 months, they can't be as excited or it sounds contrived. Support your guys, they're there for you, these are your people."
"This community has got to start acting like one for the first fucking time. Just put the petty shit away, let's try and fix this fucking scene while we still have one to save."
"You can't rely on Valve, you can't rely on ESL, you can't rely on the CSPPA, you can't rely on anyone." "Once again, it's gonna be the likes of us, the amateurs, the people who give a fuck, rolling up our sleeves and grafting." "I'm old and tired and I don't want to have to do it again. People need to pick up the torch and do it."
"Like Michal did, like Dudenhoeffer did. You see something wrong, fix it. You see somebody doing something wrong, call it out. If you think something could be better, let people know."
"Vote with your wallets if you're not happy with the direction Valve goes in. If when we do get to the Major, they serve up another subpar, same old bullshit stickers and signatures package again, do not buy it."
"You're a powerful block and if you use it correctly we can fucking avert this disaster."
"I'm not doing another year in this broken, bust-up fucking scene, where everyone is miserable, everyone is broke, everyone is tired, and everyone is trying to fucking rob everyone else, blind, while the fucking people who are meant to be protecting you, are just fucking enhancing it and lining their own pockets."
"I'm not doing it anymore and you shouldn't want to do it either."
"I stand by every fucking thing I said. I mean it, because this game fucking matters to me, this scene fucking matters to me. I put my life into this, my adult life, and to see it in this state is fucking sad."
I took a deeper look into the background of current counter strike content on youtube. This is what I learned.
Big youtubers are making counter strike look bad.
Sparkles & ChaboyyHD happy to gamble some $$$ Apart from this post, I also made a video that better represents my standpoint, my wishes, and the current situation. I recommend you to watch it instead of reading my research below. Link: https://youtu.be/7QS8YFYXjQY This is an improved version of my last post about similar "complaints". The post was well-received, so I decided to dig deeper and make a solid conclusion worth reading/watching. The text below is also used in my video (slightly modified) This post is somewhat controversial and people might jump to the wrong conclusions. If anyone has a different opinion than me, you can express it below in the comments. With my relatively small follower base, it is clear that I wouldn’t make this to insult or treat anyone unfairly. I can’t in any way compete with popular counter-strike youtubers. In this post, I will mention some really big youtube channels that mostly make counter strike content. The reason why I am putting them on the spot is that I think some of them are currently making counter strike look bad on youtube. The story I will be telling today is about how certain youtube channels developed and changed through time. Because of the nature of this theme, I am certain that people will get offended. The whole idea behind this post is to talk about the situation we are in and to hopefully improve youtube counter strike content. If this video is too long for you, check the description for the timeline. Now let us start with my story on how this video became what it is. As a youtuber, I constantly watch other people that make similar content like me. I don’t call them competition because we all have our ideas on what makes “good content” good. We should all make safe content and my personal biggest wish: useful content. I don’t like to waste other people’s time. With that in mind, my channel has massively grown in content quality over more than 5 years that I am on youtube. While checking certain youtuber’s channels, I have lately discovered a pattern appearing. A pattern none of us wants to stay on youtube. I am talking about overusing gambling, case openings, trade contracts, and all other heavily money-related content. At the start, I was very skeptical to make this discussion, so instead, I made a Reddit post explaining my views on the subject. Link in the description. Since many of you don’t use Reddit and the post got much more traction than I’ve expected, I’ve decided to research this topic even more and get it out for as many people as possible. So, what is this all about? This is about youtubers who used to be incredibly good counter strike content creators but have shifted a lot over time. There are also several, who I have mixed opinions about and I won’t mention them. Some of them can still be saved if they take my advice and explore other options for making content. Some say that counter-strike as a game is too old and everything that could be done already was done before. I beg to differ. How can 3kliksphilip still make really good counter strike content for 12 years and is improving every day? I would say that counter-strike has more than enough things you could explore, make content about, and still be popular. The elephant in the room is in my opinion only the will of making content. It is much easier to make big money-related case unboxings and similar and get a lot of views than to make a well thought out, interesting video. Statistics have proven that people like watching other people spend a lot of money. This fact is sadly even more encouraging for youtubers that have a lot of money and are not afraid to spend it. They will keep doing it and they will do it increasingly more and more. Content like that will never leave youtube. That is sadly an unachievable dream. I know everyone needs to make money to survive, and youtube is sometimes not profitable enough. To fill in the money deficit, some take sponsorship contracts and others make longer videos. It’s only natural to explore and try out what will work and keep doing what does work. But there are certain boundaries everyone should try to follow. I believe that everyone starts making youtube videos because they enjoy doing it. This is more or less the only reason I am still sticking to my youtube “career” with laughable revenue I earn for the effort I put in. Like an old saying “A life without fame can be a good life, but fame without a life is no life at all”. The similar should apply for us content creators. If you make videos with the intention to become famous, and don’t actually like doing it, it will sooner or later come back at you. If you make videos because you love doing it and you put in the effort despite the fact you only help maybe 10 or 20 people with your video, then you will be able to keep doing it for years. Now let’s get to the ugly part of the post where I start saying things that should be said years ago. Sparkles has gone bad. To be honest, for him, problems began way back - many years ago. When he was still making clutches, moments, and ninja defuse videos it started to become repetitive. The videos were new, well-edited, and still popular but it was known that such content won’t last long. He was also opening cases in those days but that is nothing compared to today. Around 80% of his last month’s content is case openings, trade-up contracts, and gambling. He is the perfect example of what I don’t want to see on youtube. If this trend continues with him and other channels, the only thing CS:GO related to watch will be gambling and people spending thousands of dollars for views. But right now, this is the only content keeping Sparkles’s channel alive and getting clicks. Even worse than him is a channel named Bibanator. He takes it to the extreme, but since his channel is in german I won’t comment, you can write what you think about him below. Let’s move onto another youtube star. Out of the last 48 videos ChaBoyyHD has made, 41 of them are gambling, case openings, or trade contracts. The days when funny moments montages on youtube were popular are supposedly over, which recently left him with little to no ideas on what to make. Continuing with NadeKing, the best on the worst list. I have big respect for him, he puts in a lot of effort but of course, no one is perfect. I am sadly sure that my post will not change his opinion because he is making solid revenue with what he is doing now. Nevertheless, I have to say that his videos are sadly too long, too repetitive, and too clickbaity. I like his channel because most of his videos are useful and meaningful. The bad side is the fact that there is no chance that you will remember all the 20 tips, smokes, or tricks that he shows in every video. He does that to earn more revenue apart from the money he already gets in the gambling sponsor contract. No human is capable of watching a 10-minute video and remember 15 smoke lineups from it. You would remember a few and use maybe one. As discussed in my Reddit post, it is much more important to know when and why to throw certain grenades, a factor NadeKing most times misses to tell. Instead, it might be a good idea to check out vooCSGO who goes in-depth and explains the smokes as they should be explained. Gambling, case opening, and click baits are also slowly ruining channels like Pala, MojoONPC, and many more. Another channel worth mentioning is Cruxal. Not all of you know him, but back in the days he was one of the top CS:GO related youtubers. He has now completely lost his will in making counter strike content and posts random clickbait videos. He is a good example of a youtuber who is making content exclusively for profit. Interesting post on ESPN Another topic worth mentioning is video length. There is a boundary for the length of each type of counter strike video. I’m talking about this because some content creators tend to extend the video a few minutes more when they see it’s close to 10 minutes. This is nothing to argue about in most cases, but if you must extend the video, do it well. Don’t waste our time with meaningless banter for three more minutes for you to get more revenue. If you would like to make longer videos, have that in your mind when making it and make the video one wholesome experience. To top it all off, we have gambling. We have heavy gambling promotions and ads related to counter strike. One thing you have to know is that with gambling, in the end, the house always wins. A few years ago there was a leak of how much profit a certain rigged counter strike gambling website made in one day. Believe it or not, they made 200 thousand dollars of profit in a single day. As most of you probably know, the games that are seen on gambling websites are designed really well and give you a good feeling about the chances of winning. The reality is much different. This is why gambling ads and sponsorships are bothering me. They are making counter-strike look bad, and slowly ruining youtubers and the community. And you’d think that gambling would slowly stop after the rigged websites were discovered a few years ago, but it hasn't changed that much. I know many of you will comment “I will watch whatever I like watching, if you don’t like certain channels, just ignore them and stop complaining”. For that, I have a question for you. Certain content types are forbidden on youtube because of moral principles and ethics. Youtube sees for instance nude content unethical and therefore is forbidden on the platform. Do you think gambling is ethical, in other words, is gambling right or wrong? This could be discussed for days and it would still be hard to get a conclusion. Some people would say yes, while others would say no. I would say no, and that is because of the consequences it can have on people, especially underage people. So this whole “ignore what others are doing” comes with a lot of questions and dilemmas. If we are looking for the greater good, then we must include as many factors as possible. Studying about what content is bad and what content is good for the game is essential. All props go to kliksphilip and TheWarOwl as the two godfathers of counter-strike, accompanied by BananaGaming, vooCSGO, and a few more good channels. I have good faith in them not to turn bad in favor of more revenue. They are proof that good counter strike content can still be created, after 5 years and even after 10 years. Time is not an excuse for people who are genuinely interested in the game and enjoy making videos. Tell me what you guys think of the situation. Was youtube ever in a worse situation in terms of counter strike content? Let’s try to improve youtube and bring back the golden days of counter strike content. Thanks for watching and I’ll see you all next time!

Imagine if there was one desk that all stories could cross so that, at 4am, a media plan could be decided upon and disseminated where all news outlets coordinated to set the goalposts of debate and hyper focused on specific issues to drive a narrative to control how you vote and how you spend money; where Internet shills were given marching orders in tandem to what was shown on television, printed in newspapers and spread throughout articles on the World Wide Web. https://i.imgur.com/Elnci0M.png In the past, we had Operation Mockingbird, where the program was supremely confident that it could control stories around the world, even in instructions to cover up any story about a possible “Yeti” sighting, should it turn out they were real. https://i.imgur.com/121LXqy.png If, in 1959, the government was confident in its ability to control a story about a Yeti, then what is their level of confidence in controlling stories, today? https://i.imgur.com/jQFVYew.png https://i.imgur.com/ZKMYGJj.png In fact, we have a recent example of a situation similar to the Yeti. When Bill Clinton and Loretta Lynch met on the TARMAC to spike the Hillary email investigation, the FBI was so confident it wasn’t them, that their entire focus was finding the leaker, starting with searching within the local PD. We have documentation that demonstrates the state of mind of the confidence the upper levels of the FBI have when dealing with the media. https://i.imgur.com/IbjDOkI.png https://i.imgur.com/NH86ozU.png The marriage between mainstream media and government is a literal one and this arrangement is perfectly legal. https://i.imgur.com/OAd4vpf.png But, this problem extends far beyond politics; the private sector, the scientific community, even advice forums are shilled heavily. People are paid to cause anxiety, recommend people break up and otherwise sow depression and nervousness. This is due to a correlating force that employs “systems psychodynamics”, focusing on “tension centered” strategies to create “organizational paradoxes” by targeting people’s basic assumptions about the world around them to create division and provide distraction. https://i.imgur.com/6OEWYFN.png https://i.imgur.com/iG4sdD4.png https://i.imgur.com/e89Rx6B.png https://i.imgur.com/uotm9Cg.png https://i.imgur.com/74wt9tD.png In this day and age, it is even easier to manage these concepts and push a controlled narrative from a central figure than it has ever been. Allen & Co is a “boutique investment firm” that managed the merger between Disney and Fox and operates as an overseeing force for nearly all media and Internet shill armies, while having it’s fingers in sports, social media, video games, health insurance, etc. https://i.imgur.com/zlpBh3c.png https://i.imgur.com/e5ZvFFJ.png Former director of the CIA and Paul Brennan’s former superior George Tenet, holds the reigns of Allen & Co. The cast of characters involves a lot of the usual suspects. https://i.imgur.com/3OlrX7G.png
In 1973, Allen & Company bought a stake in Columbia Pictures. When the business was sold in 1982 to Coca-Cola, it netted a significant profit. Since then, Herbert Allen, Jr. has had a place on Coca-Cola's board of directors. Since its founding in 1982, the Allen & Company Sun Valley Conference has regularly drawn high-profile attendees such as Bill Gates, Warren Buffett, Rupert Murdoch, Barry Diller, Michael Eisner, Oprah Winfrey, Robert Johnson, Andy Grove, Richard Parsons, and Donald Keough. Allen & Co. was one of ten underwriters for the Google initial public offering in 2004. In 2007, Allen was sole advisor to Activision in its $18 billion merger with Vivendi Games. In 2011, the New York Mets hired Allen & Co. to sell a minority stake of the team. That deal later fell apart. In November 2013, Allen & Co. was one of seven underwriters on the initial public offering of Twitter. Allen & Co. was the adviser of Facebook in its $19 billion acquisition of WhatsApp in February 2014. In 2015, Allen & Co. was the advisor to Time Warner in its $80 billion 2015 merger with Charter Communications, AOL in its acquisition by Verizon, Centene Corporation in its $6.8 billion acquisition of Health Net, and eBay in its separation from PayPal. In 2016, Allen & Co was the lead advisor to Time Warner in its $108 billion acquisition by AT&T, LinkedIn for its merger talks with Microsoft, Walmart in its $3.3 billion purchase of Jet.com, and Verizon in its $4.8 billion acquisition of Yahoo!. In 2017, Allen & Co. was the advisor to Chewy.com in PetSmart’s $3.35 billion purchase of the online retailer.
Previous conference guests have included Bill and Melinda Gates, Warren and Susan Buffett, Tony Blair, Google founders Larry Page and Sergey Brin, Allen alumnus and former Philippine Senator Mar Roxas, Google Chairman Eric Schmidt, Quicken Loans Founder & Chairman Dan Gilbert, Yahoo! co-founder Jerry Yang, financier George Soros, Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg, Media Mogul Rupert Murdoch, eBay CEO Meg Whitman, BET founder Robert Johnson, Time Warner Chairman Richard Parsons, Nike founder and chairman Phil Knight, Dell founder and CEO Michael Dell, NBA player LeBron James, Professor and Entrepreneur Sebastian Thrun, Governor Chris Christie, entertainer Dan Chandler, Katharine Graham of The Washington Post, Diane Sawyer, InterActiveCorp Chairman Barry Diller, Linkedin co-founder Reid Hoffman, entrepreneur Wences Casares, EXOR and FCA Chairman John Elkann, Sandro Salsano from Salsano Group, and Washington Post CEO Donald E. Graham, Ivanka Trump and Jared Kushner, and Oprah Winfrey.
https://i.imgur.com/VZ0OtFa.png George Tenet, with the reigns of Allen & Co in his hands, is able to single-handedly steer the entire Mockingbird apparatus from cable television to video games to Internet shills from a singular location determining the spectrum of allowable debate. Not only are they able to target people’s conscious psychology, they can target people’s endocrine systems with food and pornography; where people are unaware, on a conscious level, of how their moods and behavior are being manipulated. https://i.imgur.com/mA3MzTB.png
"The problem with George Tenet is that he doesn't seem to care to get his facts straight. He is not meticulous. He is willing to make up stories that suit his purposes and to suppress information that does not." "Sadly but fittingly, 'At the Center of the Storm' is likely to remind us that sometimes what lies at the center of a storm is a deafening silence."
https://i.imgur.com/YHMJnnP.png Tenet joined President-elect Bill Clinton's national security transition team in November 1992. Clinton appointed Tenet Senior Director for Intelligence Programs at the National Security Council, where he served from 1993 to 1995. Tenet was appointed Deputy Director of Central Intelligence in July 1995. Tenet held the position as the DCI from July 1997 to July 2004. Citing "personal reasons," Tenet submitted his resignation to President Bush on June 3, 2004. Tenet said his resignation "was a personal decision and had only one basis—in fact, the well-being of my wonderful family—nothing more and nothing less. In February 2008, he became a managing director at investment bank Allen & Company. https://i.imgur.com/JnGHqOS.png We have the documentation that demonstrates what these people could possibly be doing with all of these tools of manipulation at their fingertips. The term for it is “covert political action” for which all media put before your eyes is used to serve as a veneer… a reality TV show facade of a darker modus operandum. https://i.imgur.com/vZC4D29.png https://www.cia.gov/library/center-for-the-study-of-intelligence/kent-csi/vol36no3/html/v36i3a05p_0001.htm
It is now clear that we are facing an implacable enemy whose avowed objective is world domination by whatever means and at whatever costs. There are no rules in such a game. Hitherto acceptable norms of human conduct do not apply. If the US is to survive, longstanding American concepts of "fair play" must be reconsidered. We must develop effective espionage and counterespionage services and must learn to subvert, sabotage and destroy our enemies by more clever, more sophisticated means than those used against us. It may become necessary that the American people be made acquainted with, understand and support this fundamentally repugnant philosophy.
Intelligence historian Jeffrey T. Richelson says the S.A. has covered a variety of missions. The group, which recently was reorganized, has had about 200 officers, divided among several groups: the Special Operations Group; the Foreign Training Group, which trains foreign police and intelligence officers; the Propaganda and Political Action Group, which handles disinformation; the Computer Operations Group, which handles information warfare; and the Proprietary Management Staff, which manages whatever companies the CIA sets up as covers for the S.A.
…Those operations we inaugurated in the years 1955-7 are still secret, but, for present purposes, I can say all that’s worth saying about them in a few sentences – after, that is, I offer these few words of wisdom. The ‘perfect’ political action operation is, by definition, uneventful. Nothing ‘happens’ in it. It is a continuing arrangement, neither a process nor a series of actions proceeding at a starting point and ending with a conclusion.
CIA FBI NSA Personnel Active in Scientology: https://i.imgur.com/acu2Eti.png When you consider the number of forces that can be contained within a single “political action group” in the form on a “boutique investment firm,” where all sides of political arguments are predetermined by a selected group of actors who have been planted, compromised or leveraged in some way in order to control the way they spin their message. https://i.imgur.com/tU4MD4S.png The evidence of this coordinated effort is overwhelming and the “consensus” that you see on TV, in sports, in Hollywood, in the news and on the Internet is fabricated.
Under the guise of a fake account a posting is made which looks legitimate and is towards the truth is made - but the critical point is that it has a VERY WEAK PREMISE without substantive proof to back the posting. Once this is done then under alternative fake accounts a very strong position in your favour is slowly introduced over the life of the posting. It is IMPERATIVE that both sides are initially presented, so the uninformed reader cannot determine which side is the truth. As postings and replies are made the stronger 'evidence' or disinformation in your favour is slowly 'seeded in.' Thus the uninformed reader will most likely develop the same position as you, and if their position is against you their opposition to your posting will be most likely dropped. However in some cases where the forum members are highly educated and can counter your disinformation with real facts and linked postings, you can then 'abort' the consensus cracking by initiating a 'forum slide.'
When you find yourself feeling like common sense and common courtesy aren’t as common as they ought to be, it is because there is a massive psychological operation controlled from the top down to ensure that as many people as possible are caught in a “tension based” mental loop that is inflicted on them by people acting with purpose to achieve goals that are not in the interest of the general population, but a method of operating in secret and corrupt manner without consequences. Notice that Jeffrey Katzenberg, of Disney, who is intertwined with Allen & Co funds the Young Turks. He is the perfect example of the relationship between media and politics.
Katzenberg has also been involved in politics. With his active support of Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama, he was called "one of Hollywood's premier political kingmakers and one of the Democratic Party's top national fundraisers."
Last week, former DreamWorks Animation CEO Jeffrey Katzenberg’s new mobile entertainment company WndrCo was part of a $20 million funding round in TYT Network, which oversees 30 news and commentary shows covering politics, pop culture, sports and more. This includes the flagship “The Young Turks” program that streams live on YouTube every day. Other investors in the round included venture capital firms Greycroft Partners, E.ventures and 3L Capital, which led the round. This brings total funding for Young Turks to $24 million.
Hollywood activism long has been depicted as a club controlled by a handful of powerful white men: Katzenberg, Spielberg, Lear, David Geffen, Haim Saban and Bob Iger are the names most often mentioned. But a new generation of power brokers is ascendant, including J.J. Abrams and his wife, Katie McGrath, cited for their personal donations and bundling skills; Shonda Rhimes, who held a get-out-the-vote rally at USC's Galen Center on Sept. 28 that drew 10,000 people; CAA's Darnell Strom, who has hosted events for Nevada congresswoman Jacky Rosen and Arizona congresswoman Kyrsten Sinema; and former Spotify executive Troy Carter, who held three fundraisers for Maryland gubernatorial candidate Ben Jealous (Carter also was a fundraiser for President Obama).
Viacom, after splitting off from Les Moonves Les Moonves ' CBS , still holds Paramount Pictures, and that movie studio in December agreed to acquire DreamWorks SKG, the creative shop founded by the Hollywood triumvirate of Steven Spielberg, David Geffen and Jeffrey Katzenberg (a former exec at The Walt Disney Co.). DreamWorks Animation had been spun off into a separate company. Now it's time for Freston to make back some money--and who better to do a little business with than George Soros? The billionaire financier leads a consortium of Soros Strategic Partners LP and Dune Entertainment II LLC, which together are buying the DreamWorks library--a collection of 59 flicks, including Saving Private Ryan, Gladiator, and American Beauty.
[05.12.20 updated] Massive List of Most LEGIT free sites for CS:GO case openings + added website
I just wanted to take some time to list simply the best FREE CS:GO case opening sites, which went down few notches after the recent Valve changes. Nowadays it’s nearly impossible to find a legit site without having to deposit $1-5 and to gamble, but I’ve listed the cheapest sites with best strategies so that you could also profit from them, like I have done. I’ve also listed the total amount I have been able to withdraw! You also find the complete list at https://skinsmaster.vip/ 1.

Hey! Asking on behalf of PablosScripts who couldn't make it here: > I can't make it due to time zone. Can someone please ask him what his thoughts are on an in-game eSports viewer? (like other esports games have where games are broadcast in the actual game engine itself, so players have full control over cameras). > Does he think this would help with the esports scene? Cause I think I'd watch a TON more esports if I could manage the camera for myself. Sometimes I want to stick to just 1-2 players to see how a particular strat unfolds but I can't because the caster is zooming all over the place. > I can't help but think this is the missing link between popular Siege esports and explosive Siege esports. How many extra viewers would there be if there was a new icon right there in the game menu that you'd just have to click? LINK
Siege is easily one of the most challenging esports to watch at the moment so the ability to control your own spectating experience would be a massive boon for viewers. I'm not quite sure if our engine is capable of handling it, though, so I fear that this excellent idea is currently out of reach. I'm not a dev though so I'm just guessing here. We've made good strides toward making Siege more watchable (the new UI is a huge step in the right direction) but the amount of actions being carried out by all 10 players at any given moment makes for a massive challenge when spectating. I think our esport is definitely trending in the right direction but making Siege easier to watch would unequivocally elevate our esport. Excellent question. LINK
Ubisoft said that if pros are disliking the play tests and potential new ops, it means they're going in the right direction. Could you please explain what they were trying to say cuz I just can't wrap my head around it. LINK
Having read the article where this quote was pulled from I think it was taken a touch out of context. I think the point that Leroy was trying to get at was that status-quo, while beneficial for the Pros, doesn't really do much to push the boundaries of the game. Comfort is often the enemy of progress and the Devs are obviously invested in keeping Siege fresh and current. That may mean introducing new mechanics and/or new ideas that require a shake-up in how Pros tackle certain obstacles. Truthfully, I don't know about any upcoming content so I can't speak with any certainty but I can say that I've attended playtests before and the Devs have always been very receptive to our feedback. Given how robust the recent workshops have been I'd guess that they are as concerned as ever with how the Pros feel about the game. I'll also add that while I can see where the Pros are coming from (and are right to be apprehensive about any potential uncertainty concerning their career) that not all Pros have brilliant ideas on how to balance this game. I've heard some ideas put forward by Pros that I've felt would be bad for the enjoyment and balance of Siege. Pros have an extraordinarily strong understanding of Siege and should be consulted in regards to balancing but they should not be the sole perspective that the Devs seek. LINK
As an ANZ PL caster I am interested to hear your thoughts on what the new region format may mean for APAC and if you think it will continue to develop the region and integrate it better in to the rest of the world. :) LINK
APAC's greatest struggles have always been geographical. I think combining the best teams from Japan, Korea, and SEA into one region will produce a higher level of competition while allowing for greater growth due to teams facing better opponents week-in, week-out. Out of all the changes happening next season the APAC changes are the ones I'm most looking forward to watching unfold. LINK
Hey Interro, bit of a serious question. What's your thoughts on team houses? Personally I'm not a fan of them. They feel like a way for Orgs to squeeze more work time out of their players that's not necessarily being paid for. They also mean that being dropped by a team or your org imploding means you not only lose your paycheck but also your home. Personally I'd rather see teams have a dedicated office that they go to to scrim/dry run/strat etc like a real job and if orgs want to help with accommodation they can throw the player some more cash. Less serious, why doesn't APAC ever get the respect it deserves. It feels like anytime an APAC team beats someone the general opinion of the team they beat is "well they now suck". Aerowolf beats Giants it's well Giants can't play on lan, not Aerowolf great planning and execution on taking down a top team. Fnatic beats Empire, well Empire's been found out and they're done, not great comeback from Fantic learning from their mistakes and 200IQ hiding a map for when it's needed. What's it going to take for an APAC team to get credit for winning internationally? Finally, Fnatic today showed why having a 6th player is so critical with Acez slotting back in and performing plenty fine. With injuries, sickness (corona/regular sickness) passports/visas and players leaving for greener pastures, why don't more teams run with 6 players? LINK
Really great question with a couple angles that this could be attacked from. First and foremost: I think separating work from leisure is absolutely paramount in any industry but especially in something like esports which is already seen as playtime rather than a "real job." Living with your teammates, eating with your teammates, working with your teammates... I think it's just too much. Having space to relax, be on your own, decompress, and mentally escape from work is so crucial in an industry as stressful and demanding as ours can be. I like the idea of having a team or office facility where the players all meet once a day. Imagine it like commuting into work. The players can live where they'd like, on their own dime and in their own preferred units, but they still have to be at work in a shared space that is designated purely for work. For APAC: they are both broadcasted at tough hours for most of NA/Europe but also struggle with being so isolated. Plus they're the newest region so they don't have anywhere near the same experience as EU/LATAM/NA. APAC still has growing to do. Some teams put on good performances but the region, overall, trails behind the other 3. When it comes to a 6th player there's just simply no need. Roles aren't as rigid or inflexible as a game like OW where certain players specialize with their hero pools. LINK
I Interro, love your casting and I'm watching your stream right now! I only have one question: What would you recommend to be changed about Clash to make her still fun to play and viable, but not frustrating to play against? I know I have some thoughts on the topic, but I would love to hear your input. LINK
Clash is an operator that is inherently frustrating to play against if you lack suitable counters or simply fail to plan ahead when dealing with her. The biggest issue with Clash is that you often require solid coordination to take her down -- coordination being something lacking in lower ranks and in higher ranks where people are solo-queuing. Frankly, if you expend all of your utility ahead of time without taking into account the enemy running a Clash then that's a problem with your team and not with her as an operator. I know that may be a bit simplistic because while she has no shortage of counters (Zofia, Capitao, Buck, Thatcher, etc) enemy teams can bleed you dry with Jager, Wamai, Castle... but then we go deep into the rabbit hole that is Siege counters/utility usage and could discuss this all day. My main point is that while Clash is an annoying operator, even two people can effectively take her out if you pinch her or bring the right utility. It may be an unpopular opinion but I don't think Clash is in that frustrating of a place right now. LINK
Do you think the new g2 superteam had potential? LINK
They absolutely have potential but being good on paper means nothing if you can't be good on game day. I'll be intently watching how they slot in their roles and if there'll be any movement between players as they don't really have a dedicated, experienced hard-support like many other top teams. Pengu is probably the closest but he's a supremely talented flex player so it'd be a shame to see him move off that role. Regardless, G2 has experienced a fairly solid fall from grace but are still a talented team through-and-through. Don't count them out. LINK
Hi Interro, Q1: Why did you decide to move and live in Poland? What are the pros/cons of living in Poland from a perspective of someone who isn't a native Pole? Q2: I believe you studied some Politically related subject before becoming a full-time StreameCaster. Why did you decide to choose to study that path? Q3: What was your favourite event in Rainbow 6 Siege both In-game and Offline? Q4: What future do you predict for the game? Keep on being yourself! Thank you for the AMA LINK
Q1: Our Pro League studio is based out of Katowice, Poland, and we're required to film on-site during the season. ESL has a regional office in Poland and Katowice is often cheaper in comparison to other Polish (and European) cities. Q2: I've been fascinated with politics since I was a kid. I feel we have a huge capacity to affect change in the world and that ideas are worth discussing and debating over. I was drawn to the exchange of ideas and very much enjoy being able to dive into political theory. Q3: Favourite event will probably always be my first Six Invitational. It was smaller than events that followed but it felt both intimate and epic. In-game would be Rainbow is Magic -- ludicrously fun. Q4: I suspect the sky is the limit for R6. I'd still love to see some changes implemented, in terms of operator balancing and in the game format (like solo and team queue playlists), but this game has come a long way from where we were at the end of 2018.

Hey Parker, My girlfriend is a type 1 diabetic and has been since she was 9 years old. Obviously she has had a long time to get to grips with it, so she can manage it better than most. Nevertheless, she fairly regularly has moments of going too high or too low. Besides making her generally feel like shit, this also effects her ability to work, finding it harder to think clearly and interact with people. + I was wondering if, since your diagnosis, you have found that unexpected diabetic complications have affected your ability to work? Obviously, a lot of your job is heavily linked to the chemistry you have with Kixstar (etc) and your ability to think quickly. Is this ever effected by your highs and lows? + If so, do you have your own ways of mitigating such problems? Especially since when you work you have to continue for long periods of time + Does ESL help in any way with you coping with diabetes? + Does diabetes bring any challenges to casting, or your work otherwise, that we might not notice as viewers? Love watching you cast and stream, keep it up! :D LINK
Outstanding questions and I'm happy to answer them all. I'm still somewhat new to being a diabetic as I was diagnosed as type 1 back in late September 2019. I'm very fortunate to be Canadian so my diet, medication, and clinic visits are all well managed. 1) The catering at most events is very carb heavy since carbs are cheap and inexpensive. I'm not currently on meal-time insulin as my diet is regulated enough to not need it yet. The problem with that, though, is that when confronted with a buffet of solely carbs I have to eat them and then suffer the consequences mid-cast. Mud brain, as it's called, is very real and I often find myself grabbing for words, phrases, or stats that are out of reach. Sometimes I find my thoughts jumbled. I also have to monitor my energy levels since avoiding carbs can lead to a crash and lack of energy mid-game. Not ideal when part of my job is maintaining a certain pace. 2) Whenever we work events I'm very upfront with our talent manager about my dietary needs. They've all been very accommodating and have brought me food to eat between matches or during breaks should I need. 3) When I was first diagnosed and told not to travel by my doctor, ESL went out of their way to give me all the time off I needed while I dealt with my health. They were extremely compassionate and understanding which was a relief as I feared they may have a meltdown after telling them I couldn't work for two months. Outside of that ESL isn't really hands-on with our health. They provide us with healthcare in Poland and bend over backwards at events to provide Mzo and I with meals we can eat. 4) Diabetics tend to pee more often than your average person. When I'm casting I tend to drink an inhuman amount of water. You do the math. LINK
why is FABIAN so fucking HOT, that man is almost irresistible. Every time i see that man i instantly nut in my pants. Can someone tell me why this happens? LINK
Hey Parker! Huge fan of you for a while, you’re easily the best caster in ESL imo, and I love your banter with KG and Fabian on Twitter! What would you say was the funniest thing or weirdest (in a good way) thing that happened to you in a live LAN event like the invitational for example? Edit: also it’s my birthday today so if you were to wish me I’d be the happiest man alive :D LINK
Funniest would probably be the gigantic cutout of my bald head that someone brought to SI2020. That or the "Parker's Sexy" chant. Weirdest would be someone trying to chat with me while I was just finishing up at a urinal during SI2019. LINK
How have your friendships and partnerships in the siege community affected your personal life, and relations with others? Do you think your "people oriented" job has changed your outlook on others? LINK
I've met people in this community that I expect to be friends with for many, many more years outside of R6. Casting is, in many ways, like any ordinary job: you have colleagues you like, colleagues you tolerate, and colleagues you won't miss when you move on... except these colleagues are pros, content creators, streamers, devs, casters, etc. LINK
Long time fan and fellow Canadian! You and Big-Bad-Nadian (Troy) are the main reasons I've stuck with this game and follow Pro League so closely. 2 questions for you: 1) Leroy, the new Game Director after Remy got shuffled eslewhere, recently had an interview where he said when Pros are angry at proposed changes to Siege, it means the devs are doing something right. Source to not twist what he said. From the way Leroy describes the upcoming Y5 and Y6 content, and with what we've seen at SI 2020, is his "hammer" approach to future content the right direction for Siege in your opinion, compared to the way the old development did things (seemingly cautious, careful and scalpel-like)? 2) I'm a 4th year Journalism student and I've had several discussions with my professors and a few people from CBC about the lack of Canadian media that covers Siege content. We have The Score Esports based in Toronto, who do a great job covering the stories in PL. As you're one the premiere casters on the core casting team (shoutouts to KiX, Emzo and Milosh) who are also Canadian, and with Troy now getting his 2nd World Championship, on top of the game being developed by a Canadian brand; do you see this lack of coverage changing? Is it important to the competitive scene's growth to get that coverage? Thanks again for being you! Keep up the great work you and all the casters do! LINK
Always a pleasure to meet a fellow countryman! 1) I go back-and-forth when it comes to fine tuning Siege. Part of me feels small adjustments are preferable but then I also see operators that are very strong and in need of being hit with a nerf hammer ASAP. Overall I'd usually rather err on the side of caution since there's a lower likelihood of throwing something completely out of whack. 2) Media coverage of esports is very peculiar since gamers tend to differ from traditional sports fans. Most sports fans can throw on ESPN or SportsNet and absentmindedly watch highlights from hockey, golf, and basketball whereas gamers don't have the same interest in other esports. Someone who loves CSGO won't necessarily care about LoL, or OW, or SC2, so media often ends up splintered, catering specifically to one game rather than a broad cross section. Hell, even theScore gets flak in the comments of their videos from people complaining that they're covering the FGC or not reporting on DotA enough. I think we'll definitely see greater interest in esports as the industry continues to grow but I'm not sure if we'll break from the specialized coverage that exists esport to esport right now. LINK
Do you think we need a newcomer guidance ingame? Like when you play the game, the game gives you tips and highlight the walls need to be reinforced, rotation holes need to open and where to put gadgets? (Be sure to wear medical masks!) LINK
Siege desperately needs a proper, fully fleshed out in-game tutorial. The situations no longer cut it for new players. There are simply too many things that new players need to be made aware of that aren't taught to them. Having players hope for the best in the Newcomer playlist isn't ideal. I'd happily help record a tutorial for basic things like reinforcing, droning, gadget usage, etc, if Ubisoft were interested. As it stands right now, our game is tremendously complex and that can be very daunting for new players to grasp. LINK
hi interro! I'm a 13 year old high gold/low plat player and later in life i want to play siege professionaly, do you know any tourtments I could partcipate or any tips you could give me? LINK
I wish I had more info for you but sadly I'm not as in-touch with the T3/T4 scene as I once was. I'd strongly recommend looking up CCS Esports and [joining their Discord](discord.gg/ccs) asking around. Many of the people will likely be far more knowledgeable about the amateur scene. The sky's the limit and you've got plenty of time to master this game -- good luck!! LINK
Hey Parker! You and KiX are hands down my favorite casting duo and I'm constantly amazed at how you manage to succinctly describe complex R6 topics mid-round in a way that even a silver player like myself can understand. My question is: what has the experience of using your platform as a prominent esports caster to weigh in on political issues been like? I've really appreciated hearing your voice in this way but I've seen that others have not, and I'd love to hear more about this part of your life. Thank you for doing this AMA and I hope you stay safe and healthy in these trying times! LINK
I'd originally promised myself that I would keep politics off of twitter as my platform was for (and from) video games/esports. But having spent most of my adult life working or volunteering in politics I just couldn't abide by my own rules and ended up slowly speaking out on issues that are important to me. It's definitely a gamble. I never want someone to dislike my casting due to my personal or political views but I also feel that anyone with a platform has a sort of responsibility to stand up and speak out for people that aren't fortunate enough to have an audience. Lately I've been trying to keep politics confined to Twitch since it allows for much greater expression than twitter. I enjoy it a lot more as I can engage with people in real time. LINK
I'm still pretty new to siege but I will say that I only bought the game because I saw the amazing commentary between you and kix and it made me fascinated with the game. My question however is what advice do you have for someone who is attempting to become a caster for esports game in general, not just siege LINK
That's a huge honour to know that our casting compelled someone to get into Siege. Thank you so much for the compliment - it means a lot. As for getting into casting: I wrote a post a while back with some pretty good basics. They're mostly Siege specific but they should give a thorough and helpful starting place -- link hereLINK
Hi Parker, Do you prefer the old BO1 map ban system or the new ban system?The new ban system allows the teams too much to have limited mappools in my opinion, such as Team Empire, which can now perma ban Theme Park and Villa along with a targeted ban every playday. Or is this more a problem with the maps themselves and not with the ban system? LINK
I much prefer teams having full control of which maps they ban rather than have maps auto-banned based on whether they were previously played. I like the change. As for teams having auto bans: in a BO5 the team with the bigger map pool will have a significant advantage. LINK
Hey Parker, how are you? Hope you are safe and sound. Coming to my question, what are some changes you would like in Pro League that would help make it more accessible and known to Casual community of players? I feel like Pro League doesn't get the recognition and views it should be getting because of our large community. Something is holding it back and I don't know what. LINK
I'd love to see deeper spectating tools where a person could control the camera themselves. Or a proper theatre/replay system where you could go back and watch the match yourself. Also, I'd love to see a beginnenewb-friendly companion stream for big events. There's a lot going on in-game so having a stream that was being casted in a casual yet informative manner, explaining why and when certain operators were using their gadgets, would really help people figure out the ebb and flow of Siege. LINK
What's up Interro? You're one of my favourite casters just because of how off the cuff you are sometimes, yet still managing to follow the big plays and being the voice over of some of the most iconic clips. Really good work and I hope you the best. A couple questions: Firstly, what is your opinion of the change in narrative of the actual game itself. I don't know how into the lore you are, but do you think this shift from the White Mask story to more of a character driven (or rather operator driven) storyline will help to improve the game itself? (in terms of the events and character balancing. For example, if Vigil got nerfed there would be a cinematic of him complaining to Blackbeard, with him going "First time?" I know weird example and weird idea but IDK you probably have a better idea about this, you've been involved in the scene longer than I have) Secondly, are we experiencing an old guard/fresh face era as we move into Y5 on Pro League? We saw the new blood of Beaulo, Pino and Muzi showing up in SI whilst the venerable G2 roster failed to show up. Do you think we are approaching a time where the big names from Season 1 are getting washed up or are they still here to stay and take names (as seen by Canadian's performance) Finally, what do you think the map pools should be? Should they increase or decrease the number of Pro League maps? Should ranked have the same map pool as PL? Should any map be given the Bartlett University treatment? (saved on a hard drive, smashed to pieces with a sledgehammer and having the remaining shards ADS'd out of existence) Hope you have the time to answer my questions. If you don't, I don't really mind, just answer everyone else's. LINK
To be honest I'm not much of a lore guy. I've really cared about the backstory about any characters in any game I've played. Lore doesn't really register to me and isn't something I really pay attention to. I think it's great that people can invest in the story and it makes for better art (comics, paintings, cosplay, so on) but it's just not my scene. So long as it doesn't influence balancing then I'm all for people fleshing out the history of characters in-game! I made a bold proclamation on Velly's On The Flank podcast a few months ago saying that by the end of 2020 that about half of the people who had played in 2018/2019 would have been cycled out. I'm not sure if it'll be quite that stark but we're definitely approaching a period on Siege's lifespan where talented players are very much replacing "the old guard" as you put it. We've been way overdue for fresh faces so it's nice seeing more come in. Personally I'd add Bank and Oregon to the 7 maps, bringing us to a 9 map pool. That'd be my dream. Ranked should mirror the PL map pool as I believe familiarity is key at the top level of play in-game. LINK
How does one become so incredibly handsome as you? LINK
A strict diet of black coffee and avocado toast. LINK
Hey Interro! I love your casting and had a blast watching the past season of pro league, Six Invitational, and the Raleigh Major. Anyways, here are the questions. Q1: Once SSG won the Six Invitational and after Empire beat G2 at Raleigh, you delivered some truly great lines, such as "The Empire Strikes Back" and "The hammer head back to orbit, but it's home." Do you come up with these on the fly or do you save them up from the previous day or even before the tournament? Q2: What is your favorite esport to watch other than R6? LINK
Q1: Depending on my schedule I usually try to work on them before the match. "The Empire Strikes Back" was one I had in my head right after Empire lost SI2019 and was fairly low-hanging fruit. The SSG line is one I'm not particularly fond of. I overthought it and ended up hastily putting it together during the match. I think in the future I'll try to be less rehearsed while still having something in mind for the final call. Q2: CSGO is by far and away my favourite non-R6 esport to watch. Smash is second. LINK
Hey Interro! You have got to be one of my favorite casters along with KiXSTAr. Both of you work extremely well. Anyway, my question is what are your thoughts on the future of Siege and where Ubisoft plans to take it during the next 2 years, and possibly even further? Do you like what they're doing with the game or no, and if you want to change anything what would it be? LINK
I'd like to see some minor balancing tweaks to a variety of operators while making some changes to the format of the game (plus more promotion for esports, please!) but overall I'm decently happy with how far Siege has come. I will agree that the defence has an over abundance of utility at the moment and would prefer to see some of it scaled back but I have no clue if that's likely to happen. LINK
How did this chance with KiX change your life? What would have you done if all of this didn't happen and you'd graduated at the university you were attending? Love to hear your voice almost every time I analyze a game to instruct my team on what we could understand and get better at by looking at Higher level matches, even tho we are in the little tournaments for now. Cheers! LINK
Were it not for KiX I'd have graduated with a degree in Urban Planning and would either be pursuing a Masters or working away in some municipal planning office. One thing's for sure: I'd probably use Twitter way less than I do now. LINK
What are your plans with POWERHAUS Gaming? Are you thinking about making a Siege team for CL/PL? Edit: If you have one, who is your favourite operator? LINK
POWERHAUS was founded to be a community hub, of sorts, similar to the old school Battle.Net clans from the StarCraft, Diablo 2, WarCraft 3 days. At one point we had aspirations of maybe seeing if we could turn it into a proper org, competing across multiple titles, but I feel more comfortable with our place as a T3/T4 community than trying to be world beaters. Every org wants to be the best so why compete with them? I feel there's far more value in giving people an opportunity to grow, gain responsibility, get recognition, and build their brand within our community as they move onto bigger and better things. All of the people running POWERHAUS have a deep love of helping others so our mission is simple: boost those around us so that they can be the best version of themselves. It sounds like a cliche (because it definitely is) but there's a lot of truth to it. It's our way of giving back and saying "thanks" for all the opportunities we were given as we grew up online. LINK
What do you think is the hardest part about siege to learn? LINK
The flow of a map/map control. Learning the map is one thing. Learning how operators work is another. Learning how to drone, push together, refrag, use utility, execute or deny a plant -- these are all tough to learn but doable. Now put all of that together while managing the 3 minute clock effectively. That understanding of a round is far and away the most crucial aspect of Siege to learn. LINK
What was your least favorite meta in Siege? Personally, mine was when Glaz got thermal, Ash and him had 3 smokes nades a piece, and you were able to kill everyone without being seen in 1-2 shots. LINK
The Ying/Glaz meta was far and away the worst meta we've casted. The Lion meta is a close second but it was at least unpredictable and exciting to inexperienced viewers due to the fast action. Ying/Glaz was literally the same multi-smoke execute where Glaz just slaughtered people from afar. LINK
Do you ever find yourself to be biased towards a team when casting a match? I imagine you'd be neutral towards most teams ( correct me if I'm wrong) but has to be hard to not cheer for a team during an amazing upset or underdog story. LINK
I always cheer for the story and sometimes that may seem like I'm cheering for a team but I feel there's enough of a difference. Sometimes the narrative will change mid-match (see: NiP vs SSG at the most recent Six Invitational) and that can alter how you pace the match. Bias is something I try to consciously avoid as I think it can lead to lacklustre casting. Our job is to cast the match for everyone, not just one fanbase, so we have to make sure we're being fair with how we tell the match's story. Unfortunately, no matter how careful we are there will always be people accusing us of bias so we need to try our best to be balanced. LINK
Hey there Parker, I absolutely love your casting, I have a question for you, Did you choose kix as your co caster or were you guys just kind of assigned to one another? LINK
I reached out to KiXSTAr upon recommendation from Talon (former Pro player from oS and Ronin) as I wanted to put together a 10-man tourney and knew KiX had ran a few somewhat recently. KiX and I became fast friends and after hearing my casting asked if I was interested in uprooting my life to cast Pro League in Poland. I was in a very unique spot where I was largely free of commitments so I said yes. LINK
Hey Interro, I love your casting, your voice and delivery is fantastic and the insight your provide along with Kix is usually super beneficial when translating it over to my own playing. Do you believe any operators should receive a buff to make them more viable, not just for PL, but for casual play as well, and if so, who? (Also out of basic curiosity, we just received a Tomb Raider crossover Elite skin. Any other operators you’d personally like to receive a crossover Elite?) LINK
Honestly I don't see any operators that are in desperate need of a buff at the moment. I think Glaz could be in a better spot as he's still largely ineffective but he's awfully hard to balance. Finka being reworked would be ideal, too, maybe to more of an attacking Doc? I'm not too sure. As for crossover content: I've always wanted Sam Fisher in-game and Jackal seems like he'd be a great operator to have it. LINK
