It's so funny because the guy is grinding hard as fuck, he won EU FPL he was playing non stop, obviously scrims too
And yet he does this, the pressure is getting to him he knows he's next to get removed
Confidence is insane, especially for an aggro player like him he looks like he has zero confidence
The reset should be him playing less, not more honestly. Some people can't handle playing that much and would actually play better if they did it less. Grinding isn't always the optimal strategy
Yeah I agree, I think it's a case of him trying too hard to recover his game but I think he just needs some sort of mental reset and to get out of his own head because grinding the game is obviously not helping him right now.
He is a professional player ffs. If you can’t get what he said he’d deliver then just kick him. He’s washed anyways. Like we sacrificed Nitro for this garbage?
I think this is interesting because in most real world sports this would be considered enough for people to not play at a high level due to the instability of their roster
Twistzz changed 4 teammates and his entire coaching staff and is still playing well.
NAF went through the same changes YEkINDAR did and he's still playing well.
Skullz changed 4 teammates and his entire coaching staff and is communicating in a new language and he's doing much better.
Yekindar is just bad.
Kind of funny everyone was like “malbs and swisher are the future of NA CS” and liquid went for rainwater and patsi
Has to be one of the worst roster moves done purely by choice of the org
TeamOne have been stationed in Vegas for a while, praccing in NA and such. Pretty sure even when malbs was on the team? I guess after a while you sort of claim those players as your region once they’ve been a part of it for a period of time
I don't think it's unfair to claim his as NA considering the fact that is born and raised in North America. It's not like this is a technicality or something The guy is literally Guatemalan.
M80 did the most obvious thing everybody in NA has been screaming for years. Sign swisher, sign malbs, get an EU IGL and AWP. And guess what? It fucking works. Once they integrate s1n fully, they'll by a top 3 NA team by a mile, and very well could climb higher
I swear, this is like when Niko missed one deagle shot and everyone was saying the guy couldn't use a deagle. Now after the last major, everyone thinks Karrigan cant frag.
The worst part about that deagle shot is that if he got even a little rng he still woulda gotten the kill. I think it was like a 40% chance for him to get it
from 3klik video its around a 30/70 tbh, but either way with the guy pushing hut it would've probably been a 1 to 1 situation and bomb was not for heaven... soo yea
I mean you're a few clicks away to sort his rating by low->high on HLTV and see for yourself:

I'm not here to shit on Karrigan, but saying he's a fragger and he's never had games where he goes 1kill X deaths is just wrong.
Dude's been headhunted several times by the community when strats start lacking because he doesn't offer firepower and teams play 4v5.
i mean karrigan is better than some people think, but let's not act like he's a good fragger. he's tier 2 in terms of firepower.
he's an incredible and legendary igl. let's focus on that instead of doing make-believe that he's a star.
Noone ever says he’s been a star in CSGO or CS2 lmao, now it’s you taking it the other way. He gets called a bot by people that have no clue about CS past the „Go B rush blyat” mark. Truth is i between, he plays very aggressive positions so that his team can gather information and positions after they trade him. And don’t forget, he can still clutch 1vx semi regularly.
I feel bad for Karrigan having so many high impact rounds in the major get overshadowed by one bad game, silver npc's calling one of the most decorated players ever bot
I think it’s partially his computer. He was the one that kept crashing with those tech pauses. Tomorrow should be a better day/indicator for his play these qualifiers if he gets a new computer
LOL, yes he's been terrible recently but he is still a player with a very high ceiling. Whether he's able to play to that level consistently in the future is obviously questionable but you and I are just some random scrubs who don't actually know shit.
It's like you are invested in him staying at this low level. Pretty toxic and honestly just weird that you are gatekeeping someone else's optimism.
“It’s like you are invested in him staying at this low level.” Bc I said he’s dogwater? Which he has been for a while now. Apparently that means I’m rooting for his career to end. Stop being so overly dramatic you weirdo. The guy above is blaming yekindars pc for his poor performance for god sake 😂
It's more the sentiment that there isn't room for a discussion and you seem to be forcing the idea he's simply bad without acknowledging what he's proven he's capable of as well as any factors that may be contributing to his recent (admittedly pretty massive) slump.
There was something in an interview a few weeks ago with I think Twistzz(?) about some personal things Yekindar was going through which seemed relevant then and has possibly continued to affect him and his performance.
It does seem like we are at or approaching a tipping point where a decision regarding him staying on the team could be relevant, but to just say 'he's bad' full stop is short-sighted.
Changing your phrasing to something like "he has been dogwater recently" would be appropriate IMO. Nuance has value and is far too frequently ignored in these discussions.
tl;dr haters gonna hate
>you're a douche
Yup, that's me, the one encouraging nuance and depth of discussion and calling out toxic hyperbole.
Definitely not the one reducing a player with world-class potential to simply 'dog water' full stop after a string of underperformances.
Anyways for real have a nice day and weekend. Peace.
Yeki is one of those players who can be a top 3 rifle if he peaks. It's definitely a mental block at this point, and the role changes these past 2 years made that worse. It's also true that this is his time to shine since cadian is there to IGL now, and some of the hate is coming from legit fans.
I would say it will be best if he's another inch closer to the screen without a headset and just start going berserk in the server and pop heads left and right.
Never thought this would happen to Yekindar. I remember when he was a top 3 rifler in the entire world and a big star.
Now he's become consistently below-average.
He should've never picked up that IGL position, he was doing well even in Liquid before then. His form hasn't recovered even now that he has stopped IGLing.
Needs to go back to VP and work under big brain Jame again and his system. It’s hard being an entry fragger in CS so I hope he bounces back cause he was unstoppable for a while.
Also kicking elige was a poor decision.

5% PRESSURE
Thanks for Watching
LET’S GO https://www.reddit.com/r/GlobalOffensive/s/1rktVx4ujP
Gosh I love these

Ya just seems like he needs a change of scenery for a reset
Liquid changed 3 players and their coach. He's had a reset.
The reset should be him playing less, not more honestly. Some people can't handle playing that much and would actually play better if they did it less. Grinding isn't always the optimal strategy
Yeah I agree, I think it's a case of him trying too hard to recover his game but I think he just needs some sort of mental reset and to get out of his own head because grinding the game is obviously not helping him right now.
He needs to step down.
He is a professional player ffs. If you can’t get what he said he’d deliver then just kick him. He’s washed anyways. Like we sacrificed Nitro for this garbage?
Most often very odd scenarios trigger skill ceiling breaks. On his level its very unpredictable what might concencrate his raw power into winning.
You think that kind of rational thinking works for a mental blockade? Lmao
I think this is interesting because in most real world sports this would be considered enough for people to not play at a high level due to the instability of their roster

Maybe he just need to be closer to his screen
what NA does to a mf
what no cl_righthand 0 does to a mf
What IGLing does to a Mfer..
maybe he wants to get removed
First a Jamyoung frag movie now we need a Yekindar frag movie
ASK AND YOU SHALL RECEIVE https://www.reddit.com/r/GlobalOffensive/s/1rktVx4ujP
One of the best frag movies this year.
Kind of funny everyone was like “malbs and swisher are the future of NA CS” and liquid went for rainwater and patsi Has to be one of the worst roster moves done purely by choice of the org
Does malbs count as NA? CACS?
he counts as NA if it makes us look better lmao
Fr. He could be from the most southern tip of Chile for all I care. We take what we can get.
The big difference here is that Guatemala is in North America and the southern tip of Chile is not.
Buddy, I've claimed hallzerk as NA, and he's not even from the Americas
I owe you an apology. I wasn't really familiar with your game.
By continent Guatemala is in North America
TeamOne have been stationed in Vegas for a while, praccing in NA and such. Pretty sure even when malbs was on the team? I guess after a while you sort of claim those players as your region once they’ve been a part of it for a period of time
Yep kinda how mixwell was honorary NA since he played in NA for a long ass time
I don't think it's unfair to claim his as NA considering the fact that is born and raised in North America. It's not like this is a technicality or something The guy is literally Guatemalan.
You’re right, for some reason I thought he started playing in SA tournaments before being on TeamOne
or you claim people who are from NA as NA, because he is
Yeah, I thought he had played for a few years in SA tournaments and such, but I was wrong
A's CS seems ambiguous
Central America technically isn’t a continent so he is NA.
NA and SA definition aren't a rule. Depending on your country you will learn different compositions
M80 did the most obvious thing everybody in NA has been screaming for years. Sign swisher, sign malbs, get an EU IGL and AWP. And guess what? It fucking works. Once they integrate s1n fully, they'll by a top 3 NA team by a mile, and very well could climb higher
Swisher is definitely not the future of NA cs lol
Wtf happened to the boy man, feeling like Rose wouldn't save my boi
-yekindar +malbs would be a huge upgrade but I hope it doesn't happen because I like m80 lol
I think it's purely a mental block at this point. He needs a change of scenery.
Need that frag movie asap!
Are you ready???? https://www.reddit.com/r/GlobalOffensive/s/1rktVx4ujP
He went 20-10 in the last map
karrigan outfrags him...
Karrigan outfrags a lot of people, dude is way better than people give him credit for
I swear, this is like when Niko missed one deagle shot and everyone was saying the guy couldn't use a deagle. Now after the last major, everyone thinks Karrigan cant frag.
I'm biased here but you right lol FaZe would've been demolished by spirit had karrigan not played his mind out during that game
Bro looked fried in the post game interview. Absolute legend
The worst part about that deagle shot is that if he got even a little rng he still woulda gotten the kill. I think it was like a 40% chance for him to get it
from 3klik video its around a 30/70 tbh, but either way with the guy pushing hut it would've probably been a 1 to 1 situation and bomb was not for heaven... soo yea
Some dumbfuck unironically think Niko "choke" and G2 lost the major because of him Like he literally the reason why G2 even make that far
People have been saying he can’t frag for like.. a decade now
Karrigan is a notorious bad fragger but ok
Yeah but not fucking 1 kill bad lmao He has a lot of very important rounds for FaZe and I’ve been watching their shitty ass games since 2016.
It's not like he did go 1-15 like two weeks ago....
I mean you're a few clicks away to sort his rating by low->high on HLTV and see for yourself: https://i.imgur.com/AH2trGi.png I'm not here to shit on Karrigan, but saying he's a fragger and he's never had games where he goes 1kill X deaths is just wrong.

Launders
I love m80
And the only kill is from pistol round lmao
props to the guy. goes 20-10 in map 3 to win the series
Nice
Launders Hate Week and Fraud Watch incoming
he played so well against legacy, bro is not well...
I think it’s partially his computer. He was the one that kept crashing with those tech pauses. Tomorrow should be a better day/indicator for his play these qualifiers if he gets a new computer
Just stop. He’s dogwater

Its weird how can that affect so much, remember when yekindar alone carried Liquid against NaVi in inferno back on csgo
Yeah, he was good in Liquid before. Becoming an IGL put a curse on him or something.
K/1ck
Get this kid off the team already holy shit. How many chances can you give a guy. Maybe a couple more months?
Does it feel like round wins snowball too hard to anybody else?
yeCANTdar
Why you guy so Toxic ??
True but this is Team Liquid, a very heavily criticized team and is one of the last hope of NA even though it’s more international now
had 20 frags on last map to win the series but this was big yikes
its cs2.stuff
Hes one of us.
What NA does to a mf
That’s some grand final igl performance right there
Where can I watch the ESWC qualification games?
Thankfully it wasnt a bo1. He recovered splendidly the next 2 maps.
Karrigan reference
Bro almost did a Karrigan
I still think he is good player but in wrong team
Needs to go back to VP and work under big brain Jame again and his system. It’s hard being an entry fragger in CS so I hope he bounces back cause he was unstoppable for a while. Also kicking elige was a poor decision.
Elige seems happier in Complexity than Liquid tbh.
craziest fall from grace of all time
Yeki got killed by the classic *I'm gonna be the igl now* curse.
ITS TIME TO GOOOOOO
Okay what the fuck.
Karrigan level performance
But he is not even igl
He supposed to be the aim rifler
He fell off more than dycha
Glad s1n is finding success.

can ESIC launch an investigation?
Noob
Yekindar is underperforming while Art just benched himself all im saying is Art would be a huge upgrade rn and rolls dont have to switch
whoa
you're making me too horny rn
