I always considered myself an optimist, sometimes even disagreeing with Richard's points about how the scene is crumbling and eating itself alive... Always thought.. hey..i know it's bad, but good can still come out of it... More and more I'm finally realising...Rich was right, burn it down.. what a disappointing and depressing realisation
And now in the blast matches they have the puppet coach standing there while hunden comes to talk to the players between maps lol. And of course blast didn't say shit
There isn't really any surprise, but this just randomly brought to mind the question of "Is there actually a worse scene than CS:GO?" OWL was and is trash, and Riot does what Riot does, but I don't think a scene has been more distasteful than CS, sadly.
It's the combination of intelligence with a spine, in a world where we;ve given up on expecting journalists to tell it how it is ,that makes Richards reporting so damn satisfying like verbal crack. Legitimately cant get a fix on the watered down, bias or brown nosing stuff anymore. Fkn legend, cheers.
I hope this man destroys Astralis. for me, Hunden taking advantage of Niko is the most reprehensible thing he’s done. Every CS fan should be aware of this.
Fuck me, if it wasn't esports it would be difficult to imagine how this keeps getting worse. Fuck Astralis (the organization), and fuck Hunden. Crazy to look back and recognize that video, I have been following and playing CS longer than I thought. Thanks for the content as always Rich, even though it probably makes all of us a little sick. Your time and effort is, as always, appreciated.
was waiting for this video and it didn't disappoint. I really believe there has to be more bugs that all these banned coaches know otherwise why else do they keep being signed to top orgs.
Hey trying to connect to the Patreon but your link is just getting to a landing page with no options. Google wasn't a help either. Is there something im missing or?
The Patreon was for 'Return of By the Numbers' specifically, and since this no longer exists, the Patreon page was shut down. I don't think Richard has a Patreon for himself.
So glad that you highlighted the most important aspect of this saga: he gave sensitive information (presumably strats and anti-strats) of his current team to a rival. That is simply unforgiveable. Even if the opponent did not use that information in a material way, the act itself is irredeemable. How a competitive organisation (and importantly, the players) would want to be involved with someone so untrustworthy is beyond comprehension. Totally agree with the G2 inclusion / Heroic exclusion for team of the year too. They used a "3 man core" metric, so why aren't Cloud9 or Liquid there instead? At least they went to the major.
I'll try and find a clip, but I'm sure when the Hunden AimLab report came out Spunj tried to talk about it on HLTV confirmed and Striker basically said they're not allowed to talk about it (This is from memory so I could be misremembering)
steen is the same guy that tried to bluff that he had insider knowledge on YNK being "a piece of shit", after YNK tweeted how its sad players like device, glaive and xyp9x being seen on a team photo with HUNDEN. Its insane, how on brand Astralis always stay. Did that happen after this stream?
Thanks Richard for always reminding me what a cesspool esports is. Maybe esports could be the next big thing for entertainment if the industry had a shred of integrity. If you think there is a lot of scumfuckery that goes on in the NFL or whatever it pales in comparison to CS
Thanks for your work Rich, you are a real one and I hope many young journalists will follow your lead and dont shy away from speaking the truth. But woah, don't diss my Carlsberg like that, it's very popular in Germany and one of my favourite beers 😮💨
Thank you Richard for continually exposing what a wretched, disgusting, manipulative scene we have that deserves to all be purged from the ground up. This all deserves to implode, what a sad pathetic farce this all is.
I wish I could be in the Astralis shareholders' meeting if someone actually brings up Richard's future article about how terrible Astralis is. You would hope they would at least be accountable to the shareholders, but Bobby Kotick and Blizzard show there is no accountability. The only thing you can count on is money and power.
Look, I am an Astralis fan since like 2017, but what is happening behind the scenes in this org is absolutely disgraceful. I will say tho that I will never support heroic, at least with current roster mainly because I care about the Astralis players that I have looked up to since I started watching CS:GO. As a fan, I can only hope that the people in charge, like Nikolaj Nyholm but im sure there are many others responsible for these schemes and bad moves overall, will be changed for the better image of the org. Richard, if you see this, please keep up the great content and don’t let these fuckers bring down the scene with their mischievous schemes and keep biting at them until they bleed out
Anyone remember Thorin and Rich calling Hunden out to be the worst cs player a few years ago? Turns out he is an even shittier coach, coworker AND human being. This resumee is insane. This guy should run his own league :D
How fucking blatant can you be. Love to see them have to bite the bullet and finally just tell the world he's doing what he's been doing but just publicly now
Excellent video. Used to love Astralis, and here I am clapping my hands when Heroic manhandles them. Good riddance! Talk shit all you want about Carlsberg, most Danes don't drink that piss but how dare you shittalk our hotdogs?! Loved the vid, much love!
.... first time in years im actually not on the same side as rich... CLEARly Carlsberg is better than Tuborg and tiger for than matter . But its a piss contest of piss beer for sure lol
I used to respect your work Rich, but as a Dane, I have to say you gone to far... Your coments regarding Carlsberg is a disgrace! In all seriousness what a mess the danish scene is. Keep up the good work Rich!
My new favorite thing is watching Rich watching Rich while agreeing with Rich.
I liked watching Rich watching Rich and then getting mad because Rich is a softie!
sometimes you gotta talk to the realest mf you know
Dude... Rich interacting with Rich is pure gold content right there!!
Loved it!
We need more of this
You already know it’s gonna be a banger when Richard has the Deftones shirt on
15:15 Past Rich: "I shouldn't need to repeat this"
"lol" said the average esports fan "lmao"
I always considered myself an optimist, sometimes even disagreeing with Richard's points about how the scene is crumbling and eating itself alive... Always thought.. hey..i know it's bad, but good can still come out of it... More and more I'm finally realising...Rich was right, burn it down.. what a disappointing and depressing realisation
Big sad
@@The56thEmpire mate.. it's just sad...
oh thank god Hunden got a job. Whatever would the scene do without such a charming young man. Thanks for the landslide of content Rich.
Also, never forget what he did to a particular player who was EXTREMELY VULNERABLE.
And now in the blast matches they have the puppet coach standing there while hunden comes to talk to the players between maps lol. And of course blast didn't say shit
There isn't really any surprise, but this just randomly brought to mind the question of "Is there actually a worse scene than CS:GO?"
OWL was and is trash, and Riot does what Riot does, but I don't think a scene has been more distasteful than CS, sadly.
Add another one to the list of times Rich was right, lads. It's getting to be a bit lengthy now.
It's the combination of intelligence with a spine, in a world where we;ve given up on expecting journalists to tell it how it is ,that makes Richards reporting so damn satisfying like verbal crack.
Legitimately cant get a fix on the watered down, bias or brown nosing stuff anymore. Fkn legend, cheers.
This👍
I'm tryna bring "I'm full of beans, I'm ready to go" energy into this year too, hell yes.
Such a good listen mate, really appreciate the work you do.
Thanks for the constant flow of content lately. Really enjoying it
I hope this man destroys Astralis. for me, Hunden taking advantage of Niko is the most reprehensible thing he’s done. Every CS fan should be aware of this.
Always appreciate the content and information. keep up the great work!
Fuck me, if it wasn't esports it would be difficult to imagine how this keeps getting worse. Fuck Astralis (the organization), and fuck Hunden.
Crazy to look back and recognize that video, I have been following and playing CS longer than I thought. Thanks for the content as always Rich, even though it probably makes all of us a little sick. Your time and effort is, as always, appreciated.
Dude, watching Rich's passion for ousting scumbags gives me chills.
Richard keeps taking W's in an industry full of L's
Amazing work as always mate
Ty, as always for the content
was waiting for this video and it didn't disappoint. I really believe there has to be more bugs that all these banned coaches know otherwise why else do they keep being signed to top orgs.
The last 10 minutes are too good. Keep up the fantastic work man.
Thank you! This is perfect summary!
Eeeeewwwww man have I been waiting for this video. I’m sure it’ll be pure gold.
I was waiting for this video. Gonna be a banger for sure.
Young Richard seems so much calmer lol
Sooner than I thought for sure
Very much enjoyed this video

Richard going super duper saiyan and I'm here for it 🤣
Write to those sponsors!
You already know it's a banger when rich reacts to rich
Head analyst is a crazy title out of context
"It's okay honey, Lewis can't hurt you now" lol
Looking forward to that guideline for the shareholders, it sounds exquisite :o 🔥

Ageed like fine wine mate
Get you someone who looks at you like Richard looks at young Richard xD

Richard does not miss
I’m getting John Hammond Dino DNA explanation vibes from this video
Thanks Richard for always reminding me what a cesspool esports is. Maybe esports could be the next big thing for entertainment if the industry had a shred of integrity. If you think there is a lot of scumfuckery that goes on in the NFL or whatever it pales in comparison to CS
richard full of beans is a deadly force
channeling his inner Captain Beanie
I didn’t even realise how shady HLTV was until now
My favorite E-Sports journalist wearing my favorite metal band's t-shirt! Best thing about this video. #FAstralis
im a big fan of your videos
Thanks for your work Rich, you are a real one and I hope many young journalists will follow your lead and dont shy away from speaking the truth.
But woah, don't diss my Carlsberg like that, it's very popular in Germany and one of my favourite beers 😮💨
Richception was fun
Richard should be anoited Supreme Leader of eSports, then we may all thrive in eutopia.
Full of beans and ready to go
Why Astralis Are Like A Tick
hahahahahaha this video made my day
Thanks Rich for being Rich
The trail of ownership of Danish esports orgs looks like a Targaryen family tree
Thank you Richard for continually exposing what a wretched, disgusting, manipulative scene we have that deserves to all be purged from the ground up. This all deserves to implode, what a sad pathetic farce this all is.

#newbeginning
Rich reacts to Rich is peak conent!
I love the csgo dumpster fire content
Beaned up and ready to fight
AstraLIES
Bet they actually wake up like that :D
How could you ever trust him? I don't understand, but hey I'm no fan of Astralis.
How fucking blatant can you be. Love to see them have to bite the bullet and finally just tell the world he's doing what he's been doing but just publicly now
Excellent video. Used to love Astralis, and here I am clapping my hands when Heroic manhandles them. Good riddance!
Talk shit all you want about Carlsberg, most Danes don't drink that piss but how dare you shittalk our hotdogs?!
Loved the vid, much love!
.... first time in years im actually not on the same side as rich... CLEARly Carlsberg is better than Tuborg and tiger for than matter . But its a piss contest of piss beer for sure lol
Criminals working with other criminals? Business as usual I guess..
The lack of openly condemning him is disgusting.
Comment for YT stats
I used to respect your work Rich, but as a Dane, I have to say you gone to far... Your coments regarding Carlsberg is a disgrace!
In all seriousness what a mess the danish scene is. Keep up the good work Rich!
I’m from DK and I approve this video 👍
Already watched the vod. Comment and like the vid anyways 🎉
Astralis = wish Heroic.
The entire thing stinks, and this is just what we can see on the surface because Hunden messed up.
