@@Ethiixx sorry he didnt use the best self defense technique, pulling out your phone, recording and being a docile beta male letting the agressor make a bitch out of you
Exactly. I don't know what's the hate about RL and Thorin. They being the most fun and shoot the most straight. Too many snowflakes in the scene who can't take it. We need RL and Thorin on the desk more. Bleh was good too!
Absolutely nailed the hosting gig, brother. Made the viewing experience so much more enjoyable. Can't wait to see you back at the desk hosting future tournaments, perhaps with Thorin and Maui as analysts, ohhhh, what a treat that would be!
The cut at 31:00 is just a further example of the fact that we are missing out by not paying Richard to do a CS version of Charlie Brookers Weekly Wipe
So happy to refresh my timeline and see a new video From yourself. Great video and continuing to spit F A C T S, I loved the desk work you did at the major genuinely my favourite major since Columbus so thank you for taking the job cause i've missed your desk work! Can't wait to see whats next up Much love
Top class desk work at the major Richard; it was clear how much work you were putting in every day. Having you hosting the final was the cherry on top of the event.
Was so happy to see you at the major richard you did a great job as always ! and good to see astralis being called out on their bs! used to be a die hard astralis fan but they really showed their true colors after things went sour.
that's norbert, norbert never gets the rifle. role: drop everything. edit: man the yekindar situation is so fucking sad too, he's benchmade right now and it's allll because he thought he was ready to take over. he needed at least 3-5 more years to develop. i hope he recovers because he's unplayable when he's locked in.
I know you're seeing tons of these comments but I just want to say that I really loved seeing you back on the desk. I tuned into every single pre-game and analyst segment that you were on just to hear you on the desk. You really make these desks feel alive and interesting, and of course your co-hosts and sjokz did great work as well. The banter was also great, as one would expect from you. I hope to see you on the desk again soon! Keep being you
I didn't think I'd see you hosting another major after Stockholm, but you are still -- along with sjokz -- one of the best hosts out there. I usually skip over the desk segments but this time they were enjoyable!
Love to yourself and the rest of the talent at the Major, first I've watched in years and enjoyed it more than the arsenal synchronised bus parking event thats for sure.
Was watching Ohnepixels stream on the last day of the major and when you were on stream it was both hilarious and awkward as hell haha. Ohne was just like 'I'll take it' You did a great job Richard and you should honestly be invited back every major. Felt the nostalgia at this event for sure even though it was the first CS2 major.
@@HahsJeje Mostly because none of my friends are really interested in esports and it's the next best thing to watching with them lol. Also, I'm into skins, which I know Richard hates, but it is what it is lmao. Ohne has proven he's bigger than just skins though so I think Richard is a bit wrong about him, but disagreements are what make the world improve.
BlameF could literally stay on the team and become a rifler. Hes been carrying Astralis. Stavn, Stabbi, staehr have been underwhelming to say the least.
I agree with what you are saying except maybe one thing. When you talked about igl not being fun, i mean some players like a lot that aspect of the game, i know they are in a job environment and it’s more stressful but i can still see players enjoying that more than fragging alone. Idk if for device is the same cuz it can probably be a lie but making that as an absolute i think it’s not completely correct
He might be able to do starladder/pgl events when they come to the calendar next year and maybe blast events if hes interested but there is no way in hell that esl will let him host .
38:40 this happens in so many games and teams, for example furia in vct (valorant) every roster has been built by mwzera, it happened in liquid CS, it happens in every single team in overwatch, some people really just don’t have it in them to build rosters and shouldn’t have a opinion on it at all because some actual creatures have gotten chances at these teams and absolutely shit the bed in the most embarrassing ways possible
Jame is a good IGL and a consistent awper , he has a system in place to keep VP a top 10 team consistently without being a partner team . Device wants that system to do the same with Astralis .
Tbh the scene should go the same route that f1 have where if you dodge your duties to do interviews you/your org should be fined. Organizers live off making great tournaments and tournaments will suffer if players can just say no to interviews.
I wnat to say; Loved seeing you at de desk again. I also want to say, that even though I agree with you, more often than not, I don't think that Device needs the bad blanter. Nott yet, at least. He HAVE been under Glave, he HAS been under Zonic. All the three years, that Blame has been on the roster. To me, it's completely OK to a guy like Device, Niko, Duppe or who ever has been in th elong game, to say, they are not satisfied. BUt then comes the prove. I don't see Device as a huge fan of Jame. Really not. I don't take that too seriously. And if we compare a bit to Jame, versus Blame playstyle, and what he has said in interviews, we can esily let that fall back. I totally do agree with everything else. I'm danish, ind since Asger, I found them .. Too disrespectful. I have not cheered for them. I've talked about giving them a chance, time after time. Specially, aftter Kasper. Never had a good thing to say. And even my dad, who does not follow the scene, had a feeling about it all being wrong. My dad is a pretty well observed kind of man, but yet still... My last straw is on Devve to prove that building up an Astralis Scrapbook may be right, it's my very6 last strive to be a pure-danish fan. And that hurts a lot! Again, I agree to most what you're saying. Not gonna fill ya mouth.
No team owes you an interview let them play the game and have fun if they want , it’s sad that media is this hungry and think it’s there right to make someone get an interview… media doesn’t make this game go around
Loved you on the desk Richie ❤
Seeing him irl was the highlight of the event 💕
@@Snubben123143wish i had that opportunity
Wtf, the first 3 comments are literaly bots.
@@MsVinihabbo jelly 😏
You were amazing on the desk Richard, really hope they bring you back more!!
Amazing desk Richard can't wait to see you on the desk in the future. God tier host and journalist.
No choking anybody backstage who upset him on Twitter this time around, better than usual result for him.
@@Ethiixx sorry he didnt use the best self defense technique, pulling out your phone, recording and being a docile beta male letting the agressor make a bitch out of you
god tier host and analyst, kind of shit and "out of touch" vlogger on CS2 tho
@@Ethiixx he never did that brother!
@@xseptit but that imaginary picture in my head made me laugh tbh haha angry rich on fire
Being able to listen to the desk between maps in the arena made the experience 10x than that Paris major, you guys killed it
too bad pimp also had to speak, wish there was a mute button😂😂
Exactly. I don't know what's the hate about RL and Thorin. They being the most fun and shoot the most straight. Too many snowflakes in the scene who can't take it. We need RL and Thorin on the desk more. Bleh was good too!
It was great to see you at the Major, commenting before and after the matches. Keep up the good work.
Loved your hosting, now we can get back to Ricardo Castro the football manager mastermind
I really hope so
There is the brexit ball vods that has yet to be released
40 minutes until football kick off, 40 min video. It was fated
Only managed to catch the final. Was really happy to see you pop up. You did great and was amazing to see you back
Happy to see you on the desk at the major, great work Richard! Keep being a great content creator
They took a calculated risk but turns out they were bad at math.
On a different note, was great to see you on the desk at the major!
Absolutely nailed the hosting gig, brother. Made the viewing experience so much more enjoyable. Can't wait to see you back at the desk hosting future tournaments, perhaps with Thorin and Maui as analysts, ohhhh, what a treat that would be!
First time I ever saw you on the desk, but you were great. Would be amazing to have you back for more.
it was so great seeing u back on the desk man, truly a fantastic event
Had no idea you'd be on the desk for the major, it was a lovely surprise. Fire video straight after it as well you fuckin legend.
The cut at 31:00 is just a further example of the fact that we are missing out by not paying Richard to do a CS version of Charlie Brookers Weekly Wipe
Great performance on the desk Richard. I loved the discussions. Please continue to ask the tough questions.
Amazing major!!!! Thank you so much for coming back!!!!

Thanks Rich for the amazing work at the Major! I hope we get to see you working another event soon!
Was so cool to see you on the desk again Richard!! Hope to see you way more at the desk
Having you back on the desk brightened my future thanks boss
You elevated the desk to another level. Cheers mate was great seeing you
you were really in your element on the desk. I was too young to appreciate the last time I saw you on the desk, hope we get to see it again soon!
Excellent work at the desk Richard, can't wait to watch you talk about how the major went
Loved your work at the major Rich, you really deserved the opportunity and you delivered!
God tier host, love the professionalism insane top tier. You make other people look better. Glad you hosted!
Hope to see you hosting at more events!
You made the major have that little extra charm, keep it up man!
It was a joy seeing you on the desk.

that's norbert, norbert never gets the rifle. role: drop everything.
edit: man the yekindar situation is so fucking sad too, he's benchmade right now and it's allll because he thought he was ready to take over. he needed at least 3-5 more years to develop. i hope he recovers because he's unplayable when he's locked in.
Bravo on your work on the desk at the major Richard!

Loved seeing you at the major, you were great quality in an otherwise lesser quality event.
Great job at the major man!! Excellent work.
That shit with Sanji was mental though 😅 and it was awesome to see you back on the desk Richard!
gj at the major Richard. Really enjoyed it. If i'll ever see you irl, i'll throw a beer at you.
Fucking amazing job at the major desk mate, keep it up
I didn't think I'd see you hosting another major after Stockholm, but you are still -- along with sjokz -- one of the best hosts out there. I usually skip over the desk segments but this time they were enjoyable!
Vintage Kenny S was a gift to the human race ordained by God
loved ya on the desk Richard! hope to see more of it
not to forget sjokz of course she was great also
I love your content mate, you tell it how it is. God bless
Was a nice surprise to tune in to PGL Copenhagen and see you in the desk RL ❤
Love seeing you at the PGL ❤
great stuff bro
Famous desk host of the first cs2 major RL. Good to see
Love this content, and loved seeing you host the desk at the major. Keep it up, and stop making fun of my NA counterstrike
We need to stop making a joke of ourselves first KEKW
Love to yourself and the rest of the talent at the Major, first I've watched in years and enjoyed it more than the arsenal synchronised bus parking event thats for sure.
Richard keeps it REAL and Esports is so much healthier for it, great vid ✌
Great content. I do love Astralis getting called out.
Was watching Ohnepixels stream on the last day of the major and when you were on stream it was both hilarious and awkward as hell haha. Ohne was just like 'I'll take it'
You did a great job Richard and you should honestly be invited back every major. Felt the nostalgia at this event for sure even though it was the first CS2 major.
Why would you do that to yourself 😂
Tbf he actually loves Richard Lewis, even though he is banned from his twitch chat and gets roasted frequently.
"I love you too...I think" absolute gold lmao

@@VinceTaglia Yeah man, was hilarious. After she said it and seeing his reaction I was just like 'oh god, what is he going to say' xD
The desk this major was very good.
Goat richard
“AKA alive fox” 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
prime yekindar was a maniac to the concept of professional entry fragging in modern csgo
BlameF could literally stay on the team and become a rifler. Hes been carrying Astralis. Stavn, Stabbi, staehr have been underwhelming to say the least.
Hyped to have the greatest host in esports back on the desk.
Richard Jame is the goat I want all the rounds all the maps thank you
Jame is the goat 🐐 best player
Great stuff as always Rich - Hope you recover well post Copenhagen

amazing interview at ohne's stream
Another banger after doing a top class job at the desk, we are lucky to have RL in eSports
He might be able to do starladder/pgl events when they come to the calendar next year and maybe blast events if hes interested but there is no way in hell that esl will let him host .
I am 1 min in and I am already sure this one is yet another banger
great insights
Nice video and good major host
Neber followed so much of the talky talks between games before. Having RL on the desk made me feel good about the whole thing
Astralis out here with the classic newspeak.
Its ez to tear things down and very hard to build things up.
38:40 this happens in so many games and teams, for example furia in vct (valorant) every roster has been built by mwzera, it happened in liquid CS, it happens in every single team in overwatch, some people really just don’t have it in them to build rosters and shouldn’t have a opinion on it at all because some actual creatures have gotten chances at these teams and absolutely shit the bed in the most embarrassing ways possible
Of course they will never stop Richard
petition to nominate Richard for the title of best esports desk host of 2024
Jame is a good IGL and a consistent awper , he has a system in place to keep VP a top 10 team consistently without being a partner team . Device wants that system to do the same with Astralis .
So no one is gonna cheer for you anymore bc you kill the game with a suffocatingly boring playstyle, 5head.
Uncle richie back
o no my feelings 🤣
Richard you were bloody brilliant on the desk. And thank you for feeding my delusion by picking G2 to win it all. Love you mate ❤❤❤
I love when I am being led in game by a player who is unfocused and not having fun.
Can anyone make a vid on aleksib winning the major?
Tbh the scene should go the same route that f1 have where if you dodge your duties to do interviews you/your org should be fined. Organizers live off making great tournaments and tournaments will suffer if players can just say no to interviews.
I laughed my ass off at 19:38 hahahahahaha
40:31 for a quick summary
imagine if Kasper Straube and Stabbi just dip back to Heroic after nuking Astralis before 2025 that would've been the craziest triple cross ever
As a dane with a burning hatred for astralis, this video speaks for me
Denmark cs dismantling themselfs with those rooster moves 😅
🐓🐔🐥🐣🐤🍗
@@zooom6286 you good ?
Depends, do you ever stop lying yourself?
you should be thankful for the Astralis management as they provide you with free content
I wnat to say; Loved seeing you at de desk again.
I also want to say, that even though I agree with you, more often than not, I don't think that Device needs the bad blanter. Nott yet, at least. He HAVE been under Glave, he HAS been under Zonic. All the three years, that Blame has been on the roster.
To me, it's completely OK to a guy like Device, Niko, Duppe or who ever has been in th elong game, to say, they are not satisfied.
BUt then comes the prove. I don't see Device as a huge fan of Jame. Really not. I don't take that too seriously.
And if we compare a bit to Jame, versus Blame playstyle, and what he has said in interviews, we can esily let that fall back.

They beat Faze today. FINGERS CROSSED.

555 - HE - IS - SAVING - AGAIN 😆omg
Who’s this guy? Does he know to to put the hand on the mouse ?
Short answer: No.
Long answer: Noooooo.
a 4 time major winner appreciates Jame enough said, sanji wasnt on the major winning team
Damn I must be like 1 of 5 people on the planet that really fuck with Richard but goddamn if the man doesn’t speak the truth consistently
Gaming media did a bad job covering this? You dont say. I can barely believe it 😂
Seems like the biggest problems for pro players is having overinflated ego
You know how you're coming back to esports properly?? Will we get by the numbers back? I think that would be the best news ever.
Yes, you know they've stopped lying when their lips stop moving and their fingers stop typing.
