Snappi allowed to play Nuke, delivers a win with 0 pistol rounds won. NIP are so HOT rn

That's the try I became a fan of, what an AWPer!

THEY GAVE HIM NUKE AGAIN?? Seriously, these vetoes are hilarious, ez 2-0

Teams have been doing something strange: Challenging Snappi's Nuke. Surely they must have been prepping hard, able to withstand the baby-faced mastermind's assaults? Nah, not really. youtu.be/TO6RHJGpr2s

6 STRAIGHT GUN ROUNDS VS FAZE It's the perfect combo of art and torture.

Do FaZe No Longer Suck? We're asking the real questions on this week's Retake. youtube.com/live/s7TbLktpB…

NIP ARE CHOKING SO DAMN HARD

Calling, talent, roles, they have it all. Except clutch. The clutch isn't there. So painful.

Time for Aurora to go international or to at least look at a coaching change. One Mickey Mouse title lift is not enough given the talent they boast.

My prospects are balling at the major so far. - nota has been excellent - Kensizor is breaking out - Hell even the young AWPers try and kl1m put in good shifts despite some wobbly maps. I promise you I'm not writing the script.

It's time for Stage 3 Pickems!! After a weak Stage 2, it's time for me to make a comeback - by picking Parivsion. Yes, flawless strategy. youtu.be/Sv_AMmYNQ8w

🚨🚨 PARIVISION HAVE BEEN PICKED🚨🚨

The only -25 I don’t mind losing 104kg ➡️ 79kg this year 💪

Heads up - this is the next player that everyone will get, rightfully, overexcited about. Jorko is super young, mega talented, and clean with every weapon. 2026 will see him enter a lot of conversations about tier 1 AWP promotions.

Another stage, another successful 0-3 pick. Bye bye Liquid. They've got the talent to compete for the top 10 spots in the world, it's just not coming together very cohesively right now. This off-season, Liquid fans need to pray for 0 roster changes. The constant removals and
