I kinda liked the thumbnails more when it was Thorin leaning back in his chair laughing, kassad looking angry, and Maui showing off his pearly whites. Felt like "I wanna click that video, look how much fun they're having!"
The people need an episode of HTPM, but after every hot take, Maui, kassad and Thorin take a shot of alcohol. Even better if they could do it in an IRL environment. Imagine the later takes..
@@vinceington2540 Nah merely referring to the back and forth between kassad and hooxi in general, but i gotta say your insult was a poor if im honest, however feel free to try again im sure you will get it right next time. :)
@@alexkennedy6493 I guess since Jesus is watching he will not kick a man while he is down, just sow some seeds now and reap them when this g2 lineup makes a final or wins a lan 😂🙏
Man, HTPM is by far the best CS podcast and it's not even close, every episode is just so entertaining and funny, and I feel like it's only getting better every single time, it's just so good lmao, the last 10 mins were jooookes
Kassad getting absolutely infuriated at Maui when he makes a hot take (point of the show) is main reason why this is entertaining. I just can't take Kassad seriously bro xD.
Hahahah i thought of the exact same scenario with the typical action movie guy with shades just walking away from absolutely destroyed areas (that he destroyed btw) great minds think alike thorin .. and cheers for all this content during the off-season
interesting that kassad said they almost got degster, wondering if this is beginning of the year or whilst they were getting nawk and jkaem duo from apeks
nertz > jL recency bias may say jL but you have to consider the nertz was carrying heroic with nicodoz for some time, and also once degster gets comfy it will allow stability in the lineup and more consistent pefomrance for nertz to show his 2023 form
I'm with thorin, electronic wanting to IGL seems unlikely if you follow the train of thought. It seems more like the team doesn't want Jame to call and Jame putting it out there is maybe a hail mary protest against the idea because he knows how the community will react to it but internally that's what they want at this point.
Here’s my own hot take. In 2-3 years Navi will go back to an all Ukrainian lineup. I’ll do you one better and try to predict the lineup. Wonderful (up and coming awper), bit (skilled passive rifler), simple (skilled aggressive hybrid), zontix (anchor), and igl… either sdy or npl. I wanna see the fireworks with simple under one of those guys igling, could be so entertaining. I realize it seems a bit ridiculous now but that’s my hot take for you
Banger. Not the biggest fan of the new thumbnail. Maui really thinks jL is better than NertZ lmfao, loving the Heroic/NertZ glazing from Thorin. That was the sauce the previous couple dry sandwich episodes were missing.
Electronic ruined his career. Played with the GOAT of cs for 5 years straight while also being in his own prime. then after boombl4 was benched, FOR SOME REASON HE DECIDED TO IGL WHILE BEING A TOP 5 PLAYER. Then not only was he awful as a caller, but also wasn't a leader causing the team to have absolutely horrible chemistry, also causing SDY and Npl mistreatment. Electronic almost never did interviews (even tho he knows English good enough) even tho he was the goddamn igl so he wasn't taking any responsibility as a leader. EXACT same thing he did in C9, thankfully him joining caused shiro bench and eventually move to spirit causing them to fire up so I guess we can thank him for that. But after two years of elec igling and rotting away his skillsets, he joins vp and everyone else is like he is the rifler as he was back in 2021? Hes not even top 20 anymore.
I couldn't make myself watch VP games, electronic has made them more interesting to watch and it will increase their stock among fans. VP lost their best map in the pool few months ago, they need a change to be relevant and they realize that.
These players have such a huge ego because people put such insane 'price tags' on them and their buyouts/contracts, it's 100% the fault of the orgs paying such insane salaries early on and just burning through VC money. And orgs wonder why they aren't profitable lol, when they burn so much on players and a lot don't even have merch/content/etc, even then the players act like babies and cry about having to do media days, it's WILD.
lol, Kassad just hate Falcons - lol, cannot take anything he says about them, serius. Just remember the last shows he has been on, pure hate. Ofc they will be in top 20. So Falcons got screwed by his buddy Niko, both of them probably still laugh their ass off by the stunt they pulled. But, actually, I personally, just pitty them - a bit like Astralis when they f up Heroic with their shananigans and stabbi. In my world, the Astralis org has taken a hit - will newer be the same, no matter the resaults.
People think Kassad's best min/maxing work is on BLEED, it's not. It is on his microphone.
Can we get a mic sponsor for Kassad please lol. Sometimes it’s just atrocious.
Nah it adds character to the show. Wouldn't be the same without underwater kassad.

the thumbnail needs to entice new viewers tho so i think its not bad
i love when Thorin is leaning back in his chair laughing, he has the best laughing face
yeah the new thumbnails are ass, old ones were immediately recognisable as well
Maybe make them more similar to the Four Play thumbnails
I think the videos do better as well ngl. I like the current thumbnails more for this channel.
i am convinced that -mir +electronic was a bigger contributor to norbert's drop-off than the map pool rotation
best show on the fucking planet. King Thorin.
Came to the comments to say precisely this.
even jesus is watching
@@KerplunkTM im sure Jame likes Thorins content
The more Thorin hypes his take the more chill it is 😂
Even the title for the video is insane, ready for the ride lmao

every fucking time lmao
"JESUS IS WATCHING" - Aleksandar "kassad" Trifunović
Im just happy that kassad can still be friends with NiKo😂
5:16 seeing thorin laughing at his own joke privately before sharing is great
Kassad underwater is a staple on this show
I was not expecting Maui to light the whole show on fire after saying JL is better than Nertz 😂
he is though, in CS2. Really don't see how you can argue otherwise
The people need an episode of HTPM, but after every hot take, Maui, kassad and Thorin take a shot of alcohol. Even better if they could do it in an IRL environment. Imagine the later takes..
considering G2 just got Snax to igl, and previously Hooxi, I think it's possible Cadian can get into a top team (not that he necessarily should)
Banger, can't wait for the next episode of Hot Take Sanity Check
Kassad: “Maui your so stupid that take is SUPER hot”
At 1:43:01 Kassad spinning around to look up at Maui’s window when he says “jL is better than Nertz” is gold
I love how the episode was pretty tame for like 95% but then all hell broke loose.
Is it just me whose disappointed that kassad doesnt have a goodbye hooxi poster/banner of some kind :D
yeah its just you with the humour of a toddler

Nertz disapeared in 2024. jL is way better this year
The streak of show uploads is insane 🔥
If these 3 were on a desk together it would be the best tournament ever.
I don’t get how Thorins guests never say something about him interrupting them. It’s sooo much 😂😂
Thats the nature of the show, just to jump into convos when you have something spicy or a hot take
You must be new here
@@stef9019Listening to Thorin for a decade really does that to you.
JESUS IS WATCHING
The boombl4 reference was fkn golden
good takes by Maui and Thoorin as usual
Jesus is watching, gun to my head, this is the best cs show of all time
"You know when you find yourself at a strangers house in the middle of the night?" No Kassad...
What is this timing, just finished newest talking counter ep and wanted to listen to some more!
The ending is hilarious 😂😂
i'm sorry but that last take is outrageous
nertz is a DISASTER in LANs do NOT check his LAN record
Ngl nertz and xertion overrated. Flamez and spinx clear. And possibly Heavygod if he can do it on LAN
@@wintcXertion is just a choker. Nertz’s fall off needs to be studied. He was cracked in csgo.
Suprise beak face at the end
The Mars Rover
Feels like Elec needed S1mple to keep the ego in check. "hey sasha i wann-" NO
That last Boobl4 take was out of pocket 😂
Instant classic of an episode. So much hilarious moments.
Actual banter I love it
the whole pandemonium that went down towards the end of the video
Kassad getting absolutely infuriated at Maui when he makes a hot take (point of the show) is main reason why this is entertaining. I just can't take Kassad seriously bro xD.
Jesus is watching 😂 Kassad is hilarious man
The jl, nertz bomb at the end was a great ending!!!!
I fucking love this show, just when you think a hot take or the show is winding down some absolute fire blind sides you.
1:48:00 , THOORIN SMASHING XD

And the turn around when nertz vs jl 😂

sooo hypedddd
1:31:00 - Yeah, we all have learned that this is not a hot take. That's some sweet insider knowledge being dropped.
best show in biz
Here’s my own hot take. In 2-3 years Navi will go back to an all Ukrainian lineup. I’ll do you one better and try to predict the lineup.
Wonderful (up and coming awper), bit (skilled passive rifler), simple (skilled aggressive hybrid), zontix (anchor), and igl… either sdy or npl.
I wanna see the fireworks with simple under one of those guys igling, could be so entertaining. I realize it seems a bit ridiculous now but that’s my hot take for you
s1mple the is gonna be the igl or electronic
@@jianchen7450 could be even better hahaha
surely theres no way they top last episode (im still in tears over it😂), lets see
Liquid needs adren back he was such an underrated coach
Come on we need new episode just for snax in g2
okay all jokes are good but thoring caling Twitzts a "Skinny guy" in 2024 in wild 147:30
Well now the take should be did b1ad3 ruin electronic by making him IGL Navi
I’m just starting this episode NO WAY jL is better than nertz imo LOL. Let’s see if I can be convinced otherwise
Btw, shot out to MISTER X 😂😂😂

JL is better
Jame to Liquid and Vp tanks with Elec
1:43:00 is this really that much of a hot take, jL has been money when it matters.
Also Kassad just moving the goal posts over and over lol.
I mean, too bad he's not been money to get them to the point that matters.
whos the girl that yuurih is dating?
