Overtime on Inferno - Weekly CS2 News

On this week's episode of Overtime on Inferno, Sam and Jack are beefing with the CS community again. This time, it's over the ticket prices of the PGL Singapore Major which has caused some outcry amongst fans. Luckily our co-hosts are here to tell you why the tickets are more reasonable than fans might think. Though, there is one thing that our hosts and the community can actually agree on. Simply put, Liquid and NIP are absolutely f*cking terrible.

This week on Overtime on Inferno, Sam is reunited with his co-host as Jack comes back from IEM Krakow, which begs the question: whether you’re watching in person or at home, was it as good as Katowice? Well, not quite. But there’s still plenty of quality Counter-Strike to talk about post-event. As usual, almost every team under the sun gets called sh*t, including MOUZ, who are labelled a dead team after a poor showing in Poland.

Welcome to Flashbang Realities, a new series where we discuss what could've been if Counter-Strike history had gone just a little bit differently. On this week's episode our host Sam is joined by special guest quacke and former NIP-analyst Jack. Together the three of them analyse dev1ce's ultimately disappointing blockbuster move to NIP. Considering the personal drama that led to dev1ce benching himself, we can't help but feel sorry for him. But please, do spare some pity for Sam, as he had to spend an hour with not one but two NIP fans...

Stage 2 is over and the dust has settled, thankfully the quality of the games were better in this stage. Well, at least by a bit, since Astralis were there to stink it out this time.

On this week's episode of Overtime on Inferno our hosts decide to circumvent the slow news week by playing a brand new game invented by the geniuses at tldr, "Go DaZeD or no DaZeD?". Aside from guessing what schizo tweets are real or not, the boys also get to analysing the BLAST Rivals Hong Kong Grand Final. The conclusion? TeSeS might need to visit a job centre soon...

On this week's episode of Overtime on Inferno, our hosts engage in a great debate surrounding Team Spirit's leadership again (but longer this time). Danish AWPing IGL cadiaN also makes a return with OG, the boys discuss if his career is still dead in the water, and if there's anyone OG can sign as a 5th that doesn't involve rescuing Fl4mus from the shadow realm. Otherwise known as Virtus.Pro.Join the discord:https://discord.gg/X3jU4djxUKCheck out Logan's newsletter:https://thestratbook.gg🎙️ Subscribe to the pod:https://readtldr.gg/podcast🗞️ Join +32K readers of our newsletter:https://readtldr.ggBecome a Counter-Strike demon:https://learncs.ggFollow your host and guests: https://twitter.com/AN1MOCS2https://twitter.com/novaHdesignhttps://twitter.com/aizyesque Thumbnail Jazz by: https://twitter.com/jameshserpa 📌 Interested in advertising with us?
