Episode 135: PGL Astana - FURIA's gamble pays off, G2 stumbles, Return of the IGL for NiP & Astralis

How are you going to be excited about this team? The players they pick up, what goes wrong? Do you talk to these players? Do you watch their games? What goes south once you pick them up? Now Lux is in Legacy and he was doing pretty well IGL-ing there, right? I don't know. It's kind of wild. That's why let's not waste any more time talking about it.

It's not fun. But I really want to see where they will end up in the ranking, let's say, after the season, for example, or before the major. Because they've been last in so many events. They've lost so many games, so many series. Surely they will be out of the invites cycle, right? If not, there's something terribly wrong.

I think it's probably the worst environment to have to play in for actually pretty much everyone on that team. Like, for... Hades, he only has like three events with the team that's undergoing changes. He's going to go through more changes to sort of showcase his skill set. And there's already been rumors of them chasing after another full-time AWPer. Yeah, exactly.

Who is definitely better than him, right? There's no doubt about that. You have him in that situation. You have Snacks, who's also most likely being replaced. I mean, you know, I don't see a world in which G2 willingly keeps him on the roster. Taz, the same thing. So the leadership of the team is changing.

Yeah, maybe, but he had a poor first two days. I mean, some of the damage has already been done to him at the start of this year. This whole season has been a nothing burger for G2. There's not going to be anything positive about this first half of the year for them, right? It's just been wasted away, right? There's plenty of blame to go around it anyway.
