Yeah, okay.

I paused on purpose, Jason, to give you a bit of space there.

And like that also, like you wouldn't see a 1v5 like that, you know, and regardless that we were 7-0 up and the players got a 4k, so he was going for the ace and blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.

And it was a different time, right?

Like I think the biggest difference compared to then and now it's just,

people are way more disciplined nowadays and everyone understands better how to play the percentages right like that's to me the the main difference um of it all so yeah a couple of days

Yeah, it's still the days of people being used to just with their individual skill overpowering everyone else and just playing more for that than playing together.

A lot of different things.

And that's how things work, man.

Almost in every other sport.

That's the thing.

10 years in Counter-Strike or 8 years, whatever it is, is like 20 years in sports, it feels like.

Because we're still...

at our infancy in a way, and people are progressing much faster and finding there's a lot of edges to find early on, right?

Like people haven't figured everything out.

So it looks silly the same way if you look at 90s basketball, you're like, damn, these guys...

look hella slow right or no one can hit three pointers like what is this and then that just how it is and it's normal and that's why it's unfair to say oh man like whatever the the 10th bet like g2 today would own astralis so that yeah because they got to learn off of what astralis did in that era and the teams that came after them you know navi and so on and phase and so on and so forth right and now all that's the base for them is what all these teams

were the creating the meta at the time so you need to look at teams and compare them within their own respective eras you can't use this argument it's like oh yeah but look how they were playing back that's just how it was and in in that time they were able to move the meta forward and they were able to find advantages and change the way people approached counter-strike

and teams, right, with sports psychologists, assistant coaches, and all of that, which is today the norm.

That's why we have it, because they brought it.
