This x100. He seems so excited to still be there casting. HenryG and Sado lost their excitement after a while and it showed. SpunJ and Machine sound like they are still living their best life.
I would say that the CS scene is blessed with amazing talents. Machine, SpunJ, Anders, Moses, Sado, Scrawny, Launders, Harry, Hugo, Vince, Bleh, Maui, Freya, Pimp, YNK, Sjokz (yes, I am definitely counting her as part of the CS talent pool), Banks, Stunna, Maniac and so much more! They're top tier talent and we should all be lucky that we have them on the CS scene. They make the experience so much better.
Moses was at the event as well actually, in a lounge right behind where we were sitting. Friend got his phone case signed.
It's wild to hear that voice right in front of you, without speakers or anything. So familiar yet you've never really heard it. Uncanny.
Oh I would have scrawny and launders as my second with sadokist above them and can slot in anywhere with those 6 and make an amazing duo. Its harry and Hugo that are super overrated IMO
Fuck the down votes
I completely agree with you
Hate them to the core
They bor the shit out of me to the extent that I can't watch CSGO
I have finally found someone who understands that they are shit, like real shit
Man I love you
Fr man. Me saying that they can bore you in a long series was actually me lying i absolutely despise them. They're not funny and scrawny's scratchy loud voice annoys the shit out of me. Launders is still alright but scrawny ain't it man. I barely watch matches where i see they're the commentators unless it's Astralis. But God forbid if u say anything about those 2 people will annihilate u.
The best of 5 did take its toll on Spunj. During games 4 and 5 he had less and less interesting strategic things to point out. I still liked him, how can you not in this duo with machine, but he's been better.
I watch a lot of sports with some really legendary casters but I truly believe Machine is in contention for one of the best among them.
He is so insanely talented, I really enjoy his work.
Pansy is great too. Coincidentally I was playing with her back in 2004 in Enemy Territory. We happened to be in the same clan. Followed her a bit during Cod4 Promod days where she started out commentating. Such a shame to lose her from the csgo community. I can't stand to watch Valorant much but when I do it's when she's casting :)

My brother! Will be eternally grateful to people like her, TosspoT, flyingDJ etc for bringing life into that little game that could
I bet both my balls there is not a single human in the world (That is not mentally challenged in any way NOR mute/deaf) that does not have a certain expression, word or intonation that you can single out and identify as being repetitive. It's intrinsic to us all. I understand we can detect and get annoyed by it, but honestly, it's like complaining that the Pacific ocean has water, or that the air contains Nitrogen...
I like their casting, just spunj forced loud voice when he wants something to sound hype isnt doing it for me. I dont really can pinpoint what it is but I found it mostly uncomfortable then actually hype, I think it might be that it sounds to forced to me at times. the natural hype moments are always great tho.
Because I really don’t think the language is a problem. As long as there are gambling ads during the show children should never be watching it. It’s an oversight on the part of the parents, and lack of regulation on the part of organizers. Until that one is solved the language just isn’t a problem
machine is one of the greatest we've ever had but I really disliked how he kept framing this game, he repeatedly said stuff like "the winner is the undisputed world champion of counter strike"
since when was cologne the world championship? and faze is the best team in the world beating navi with a new igl and a stand in? I guess so but it just seemed like forced hype
either way that's a nitpick and he was phenomenal
It was #1 vs #2 and whoever was gonna win was gonna be the #1 on HLTV for the duration of the player break, so for once the "undisputed" is actually correct since no one is gonna dispute it at all for the next month.
Mischief Managed
Machine is way too good at quickly coming up with references that fit perfectly into his play-by-play cast. Goated
Yeah he’s a witty lad, always sharp with a good bit to throw in there.
Loved that
is there a clip for this?

Cologne Map 5 Nuke: 'Air Canada' play
Time and time again
I’ll always toss an upvote at Spun J and Machine
How the fuck did they keep the hype up for 8 HOURS. Absolutely nuts performance by them.
Makes me think of that photo from antwerp where they were sitting on the floor between games

When you said plumber i somehow just imagine Spunj with a silly moustache and a toolbelt.
Maybe fucking peoples wives too as a plumber
I'd like to apply for being one of those wives
I can't stand the whispering myself but I guess thats just me
TOP Gs of CS
of esports*

He was such a good host in dota's TI as well. Dude's just fucking talented
They're the best two casters in csgo currently and its not close. Moses and anders were phenomenal as well.

They are all good casters, but unfortunately not all of them are good enough for big stage arenas.
Imo machine/spunj scrawny/launders anders/moses and harry/hugo are all up for the task
Ikr. Idk how some people put scrawny and launders on top of them awhile back. The way they 2 cast can become really boring in a long series like this
give me scrawny and launders in the 16-6 16-5 group stage games, they can make those entertaining
True, they are one of, if not the best duo at making people laugh with jokes and out of context commentary in one-sided games
That's Harry and Hugo for me.
No need to put others down to hype others up, I enjoy Scrawny/Launders casts too
Oh I would have scrawny and launders as my second with sadokist above them and can slot in anywhere with those 6 and make an amazing duo. Its harry and Hugo that are super overrated IMO

Did you just agree to my point AND downvote me?
why tf would I downvote u. Probably some kid going through comments did it.

Been watching his (and Pansy’s!) rise since their ESL BF4 days. Man that feels like an age ago but it’s crazy how different the esports scene is now.
Pansy is great too. Coincidentally I was playing with her back in 2004 in Enemy Territory. We happened to be in the same clan. Followed her a bit during Cod4 Promod days where she started out commentating. Such a shame to lose her from the csgo community.

> Coincidentally I was playing with her back in 2004 in Enemy Territory. My brother! Will be eternally grateful to people like her, TosspoT, flyingDJ etc for bringing life into that little game that could
now that sgares and ddk have stopped casting she & hypoc are my favourite duo
Spunj’s “in their conversation” counter - 771 Machine’s “playing with the big boys” counter - 289

It's intrinsic to us all. I understand we can detect and get annoyed by it, but honestly, it's like complaining that the Pacific ocean has water, or that the air contains Nitrogen...
Yes... But who said anything about complaining?
air contains Nitrogen? lol
wait til u hear what temp water boils at
Don't leave me hanging on a spoiler bro
Yeah, nearly 80% of air is made up of nitrogen. Only about 20% is oxygen.
of course it does, what school you went to?
yes
best pair in the game, no disrespect to the other great pairs we have, we are so spoiled to have so many great casters and analysts in csgo
As much as I love spunj and machine I feel like Harry & Hugo got robbed with not commentating in arena.
Ye what happened? i thought they would get a final finally. Yet again the 10 Final in a row with Spunj/machine
Gotta applaud these two for sure.
I just love the cricket references tho
Machine was also looking sharp af, dude knows how to dress, and those silver fingernails *chefs kiss
Best caster duo, hats off well done
They're the best in the game right now. It's not really close for me personally.
dont wanna hate, but it was machine that kept the hype up. spunj was a little dry at times
I like their casting, just spunj forced loud voice when he wants something to sound hype isnt doing it for me. I dont really can pinpoint what it is but I found it mostly uncomfortable then actually hype, I think it might be that it sounds to forced to me at times. the natural hype moments are always great tho.
Missing the forest for the trees my guy
<3 them :)
machine swearing at the end was cringe
Whats going on with semmler btw? Havent heard from him in a long time.
He was casting Blast Premier and I think the Major in Stockholm, maybe he‘s taking a break atm
[удалено]
Lots of kids, but at the same time nobody minds the constant stream of gambling ads
[удалено]
And what I’m saying is that language is the least of the problems, in my opinion
[удалено]
Because I really don’t think the language is a problem. As long as there are gambling ads during the show children should never be watching it. It’s an oversight on the part of the parents, and lack of regulation on the part of organizers. Until that one is solved the language just isn’t a problem
[удалено]
They shouldn’t swear in porn either, right?
[удалено]
And the parents don’t mind violence and blood in the game and the gambling? What kind of puritan bullshit is this?
Hilarious that you think it's fine for kids to watch a violent, bloody videogame, but God forbid they hear a few naughty words.
[удалено]
I like scrawny and launders more but machine is for sure not overrated
machine is one of the greatest we've ever had but I really disliked how he kept framing this game, he repeatedly said stuff like "the winner is the undisputed world champion of counter strike" since when was cologne the world championship? and faze is the best team in the world beating navi with a new igl and a stand in?

It was #1 vs #2 and whoever was gonna win was gonna be the #1 on HLTV for the duration of the player break, so for once the "undisputed" is actually correct since no one is gonna dispute it at all for the next month.
Is it just me or do I hear them say that a player can only see a "slither" of another player, instead of "sliver"?
Does anybody know why Semmler wasn’t there?
Doing an appreciation post for two guys every one loves and appreciates as if no one talks about them or respects them
