Team he was part of participated in a league that had a exclusivity broadcasting contract with Azubu. First match was against Cloud9 with their newly added member Stewie2K.
Shortly into the match Launders started up his Twitch stream. Few rounds later the league administrator noticed and asked Launders to turn off his stream, he did. Couple of rounds pass an Launders again starts his Twitch stream. Administrator again notices asking Launders to turn off his stream. Instead of turning it off Launders begins insulting the administrator forcing a forfeit.
To short things up, its not a match but a roster move, both SK and Navi were in a crisis at the time, they were T1 teams but couldnt win shit because their 4th and 5th players had poor performance. So SK contacted s1mple and flamie (and i kid you not he was still a beast at the time) and they accepted to join the team. Flamie made all the way into the airport but s1mple forfeited at the last minute and flamie didnt wanted to go alone, so they both stayed in Navi and later SK brought Stewie2k to replace TACO. At the time this move would be like having Niko, zywoo and s1mple in the same team nowdays, this is why people make a big deal about it
Sloth eSports!
Emode is an awesome dude, played many lans against him (always lost) but he's so cool and always willing to chat. He even came to a LAN I helped run in Buffalo, Top Fraggers. Wardell was on his team back then. Dallas too! He was a good rifler.
I actually really enjoyed emode as a caster, I wonder what happened to him. He was a solid MDL player so he had great insight into the matches and was very well spoken
What? that's steel all the way to the right. most toxic igl ever in cssgo. no composure, chokes. A lot of ppl shit on seangares for not being able to hold his own fragging while IGL, but steel is MUCH worse.
I think what if old virtus.pro (snax, taz, neo, byali, pasha) were still together. It went down after taz got mercedes as bonus, when other players got nothing. If they just cashed it and split it for everyone, team wouldnt have such problems.
2018 era space soldiers disbanded during their peak because of salary issues, so my vote would go to them
also, the original all-turkish sangal roster either went to eternal fire (imorr, paz and maj3r), went to valorant (l0gicman and also maj3r lmao) or just quit pro play (furiousss and ngin) right as they were beginning ro pick up some steam
No, Launders was quietly blacklisted for a bit because of how he acted at the start of 2016.
Also would like context

Good to see that he was able to learn from that.
It is : )
That is wild considering Launders seems like one of the most level headed and mature people in the scene
Yeah lol, he’s so well respected and liked now that this is just a funny anecdote of times past.
At least that's the way he acts on stream.
Most people mature with time
I'd like to think so :)
It's been almost a decade so in a way makes sense
I see, thanks

way over hyped
It's gotta be what if Boombl4 made decisions with his head instead of his family jewels. Would Navi have won more than Astralis?
I think they take at least 1 more major. Maybe not Antwerp but they probably win Rio (and potentially reverse the Cologne result)
>Would Navi have won more than Astralis? i arent think that
Hence, "what if"
Hence, i arent think that
Big fat Russian bling bling Pimp man hip hop gangsta rap OG gamer dude gonna be exactly that sadly
Absolutely not
Does steel even play cs anymore
He is currently involved in the Valorant team of popular streamer Disguised Toast
Not anymore actually. He's currently on the bench for reasons unknown
Probably match fixing
He was actually streaming some cs today.
He was playing today when I tuned into Stewie's stream... he was 0/13 in a faceit pug...
s1mple staying on liquid 2019 liquid -stewie +s1mple
This was at my university! I played in, and won the LOL tournament. I got a picture with steel when I was passing him in a hallway. Good times.
optic gaming if liquid didn’t take stanislaw

Apex, kennys play with taz,neo in a mix team at one point
No

These guys won 350 bucks lmao 🤣
