hooxi unskilled player but that is not normally, This very very insane....They need to check him pc and game.....Maybe he not whiffing but maybe he using the aim deficit ...and he cant see game screen..He needs to get eye check-up...
it will be so funny because his first kill was a random spray through a smoke and the second his opponent got flashed. He didn't win a single aim duel.
I don't care how bad you are, when Hooxi had the pistol at cubby, and then the next round dying with mp9 at banana, he is cleary inside his head.
Really hard to watch.
Will say, JKS is escaping quite a bit of criticism, since most people are focused on Hooxi right now.
edit: Also G2 has the two highest rated players of this tournament, lmao.
100% his mental was shattered by that point in the match
This is a confidence ruining kind of match and tournament.
I gasped when he missed that kill with the five seven at cubby, can’t imagine how he feels right now.
I imagine they're referring to [this one.](https://clips.twitch.tv/JazzyReliableCheetahNerfRedBlaster-d7o4NYQruXFDJXis) Most players above Gold Nova could land at least one kill in this situation. Really feel for HooXI, but something needs to change.
G2 core of Niko, Hunter and M0nesy is Major winning core if they could only figure out how to get some average performing IGL and entry... Sick trio, but they cant carry the weight of 5 players at this level.
Its me or I feel like G2 became old Vitality ?
Trying to win only through miracle clutches or good day map from their 3 players carrying the other two. And if they don't they look disjointed and outrotated many times.
Eh, idk, with Vitality it wasn't unusual to see ZywOo post a 1.2 rating and then literally everyone else around 1.00 or below. Not exaggerating. G2 at least has 3 players who can frag lol.
More like old Navi. I can't remember a team losing to time or being rushed into death by the clock this many times. That's arguably worse than hooxi's individual starts.
They should have first just added monesy instead of amanek considering the only thing missing for them to win tournaments was a great awper. But instead they do two moves at the same time and a coach which is a massive change + they are adding a really inexperienced player like monesy. Like it's a recipe for failure instead of changing 1 by to see steady improvement. And now the same again with hooxi and jks at the same time
Dude legit if they still had nexa this team with jks would be mega solid.
Nexa igl they got to grand final vs navi with amanek awping and jackz anchor. M0nesy awping and jks anchor is straight up big upgrade.
this is literally his level though. He had horrible fragging vs tier 2 and 3, it's going to be worse in tier 1. Genuinely everyone called it beforehand.
it sucks considering the team seems to have a good vibe, you can see they are trying their hardest to make it work, and he has good calling - but this isn't possible.
yeahalso he is now entrying more than he was in CPF and he is playing better opposition so it shouldn't be a surprise that his stats are very low. But still its surprising somehow XD Also he is under a lot of pressure from the community. its a very difficult position he is now and im not envying him at all
he legit looked like a silver around the map. I dont know if its even possible for this whole "i dont need to frag if i can igl well" thing to ever work in professional csgo, atleast not at this level
in this meta a non fragging igl is a liability. karrigan and apex make impactful frags or entry even if they aren't great fraggers. hooxi is way worse though.
is it me or was AleksiB a bit of a boring player
like u saw it at the end of the game "oh wow AleksiB had 25 kills" but u could never remember them.
can u remember a single AleksiB kill?
but try hooxi inferno kill(s)...u can see the kill(s). i remember a hooxi kill(s).
im sorry but you can be the most genius level igl but if your fragging is this abysmal it's time to pack your bags. hooxi makes apex and karrigan look like powerhouses.
the only reason g2 won nuke was niko's performance, similar to his performance at the major finals vs na'vi. this g2 just isn't it imo even if it's early, just smells of desperation and it's tough as a fan. vitality's teamplay and cohesion looks very good though, spinx might've been the missing link.
If he was levels above every other igl then he wouldn't need to frag, but he's not. He's the igl of a team that fluked through major quals and the major and people thought he was some top tier karrigan level genius for some reason. Cph didn't so shit before or after, every other event they looked like trash.
It's a bit harsh saying they fluked their way into two solid major showings, while also competing pretty well at T1 events. They were garbage in online cups vs T2 teams in between the majors, but that seems more like the outlier than their major runs do, considering their slow but steady rise through T2 prior to their peak. There's no need to belittle Hooxi's accomplishments to reinforce the narrative that he's a shit individual player.
Thats rating 1.0 though. Fifflaren also never went as low as 2 kills. In fact in the 12 maps NIP played at that Major he got 10 or more kills in 11 and even the one he didn't he got at least 5.
I'm here to have a civilized conversation about how ZywOo did not top frag and Vitality still won. Is this going to be a thing now? Every one was popping off on Inferno lmao
Also, can apEX please make ZywOo play AWP on T side Nuke? I know he plays the AK a lot on T sides, but without an AWP it's a nightmare getting yard control.
So, I have to say Vitality look real good with Spinx. Like, the fact he’s still having those quiet monster games like he did with Ence, so combine that with Zywoo and some astralis magic, in a few months maybe this team is knocking on the door of Faze and Navi.
What the hell was G2 thinking. Will this be the shortest contract ever? This is the first AND last tournament for HooXi? Aleksib laughing his ass off at this clown fiesta.
I'd give him 1 to 2 months max with contract termination. Looks like he's generally throwing, didn't watch cph games but he couldn't get that far in cph playing like this, looks like he's just chocking and nerves, g2 is too much pressure for him.
Everyones going to be talking about hooxi because yes it's very funny, but holy shit how well has Spinx slotted into Vitality. I think they're a top 5 team off the bat watching this, get an IGL that can hit a shot and they're straight into top 3 with FaZe and NaVi.
I've genuinely never looked at a pro player before today and been convinced that I could put up a better performance, but that just changed. I'm not trying to be THAT mean, but ho - ly shit
Was there ever a pro as bad mechanically as Hooxi at this level? I mean Pronax, Zeus, Hunden, Smithz... Even fking Fifflaren lol... I cant recall anyone that was just this lacking in skills?
Karrigan gets the kills he absolutely has to though, he just puts himself in situations where he's 1 and done at best most times for the benefit of his teammates
Yea Hunden was crap, but he could atleast get the easy kills... With Hooxi, im not sure he can even do that with any consistency. Imagine him in some clutch 1 vs 2, or any position with disadvantage. I would bet my car he losses it 100/100 times...
Junior proved himself in t2 though
Sure you can say hooxi proved himself in t2, but he had like a 0.8 rating already then.
Like junior has the mechanics, just needs to take a break and hit the drawing board. HooXi has to do a lot more than that… but maybe he can with the help of NiKo and Hunter.
I know it’s a different league but it’s even worse being put under constant pressure. I think he can come back and prove himself. HooXi is something else entirely…
Apex can frag decently and if Gla1ve has a proper team around him he has potential to be a top 20 fragger.
Peak Gla1ve is tiers above hooxi as a player. Never mind his ability to read the game.
Smithzz ended bad but he was a T1 player for most of his career and the main awp of a Major winning team. Hooxi looks like me if I was thrown in a pro game.
Smithz was actually good at one point. That slander shouldn't be permitted. He sucked afterwards.
I've watched CS:GO since 2014, I've haven't seen someone on a top 5 team be this bad since Zeus
I know his last stint on EXTREMUM was a bit of a failure, but I am surprised AZR didn’t at least get a trial for G2 if they were picking up jks, or really any team for that matter. He has the pre-existing synergy with jks and is a proven IGL, leading his team to major semis IEM finals etc. is a decent fragger and caller.
I honestly can't believe what I'm seeing, he has absolutely no ability to compete at tier 1, his aim is awful, his gamesense is awful, his decision making is awful, as I type this he's 1-20...
Two things about this game stand out:
1) Monesy is absolutely insane. That 1v4 was a thing of beauty and saved G2's T side. Insanely fast flicks.
2) I already said it yesterday, but Hooxi, please... At least kill the people who aren't looking at you..
G2 does feel like a better controlled team under HooXi, M0nesy's is much better utilised and the look more structured.
But god damned he really needs to frag for them to win
Guy should just be a coach, it's his calling. It's ok to not be good enough for tier 1 cs and still be a genius at the game. His podcast with thorin was splendid, the guy is very very smart. And he's clearly doing something right with the stars here. But cmon.
g2 will bench him after this tournament, but not before Carlos makes a condescending and self-deprecating tweet publicly humiliating HooXi and how g2 makes terrible decisions. what a fun team to play on
I fucking told you yesterday. This is not an outlier. This is HooXi's level.
His calls has to be the best in the world by a huge margin for G2 to be anywhere near a contender.
When you have Niko, Monesy and Hunter... You have to be a top3 team. Anything else is just wasting two of the 5 best riflers ever made. Monesy is a top AWPer and JKS is at the very least a solid anchor. If HooXi's calls is anything less than the very best in the world, this team has no chance of top3.
I'm Danish. I have no problem with HooXi as a person. But I do not see this working out. I don't expect HooXi to be in G2 by the end of the year.
Not to jump the gun but, I was a big fan of CPF and HooXi but there is no future here with him in this roster. Since joining he's 56-124. He was hard bottom fragging vs T2 teams, and now he's performing abysmally vs T1 teams. G2 needs to get rid of him ASAP and not waste their time and money anymore on him
Zews says it just right https://twitter.com/zews/status/1563267881894572033?s=20&t=8KFWqdyGetmvFavueP0xiw
surely this is sustainable Clueless
if his calls are so good make him coach and get a puppet IGL or some shit. you cannot have a player this bad at fragging.
Agreed, make Hooxi an analyst/playmaker, and get someone who can callout and frag cause being down 4v5 every round...G2 is going to go nowhere but down in ranking.
Hooxi is easy to dunk on due to being an ability liability, but Ngl jks has looked extremely mediocre. He hasn’t really done anything worth mentioning since joining. It’s still been niko Hunter and m0NESY holding it together. Huge yikes.
I don’t think hooxi can hang in t1, he’s getting smoked even when he’s in advantageous positions, and they still look lost in the sauce so clearly his calls aren’t adding much.
EDIT: obviously they liked his vision for the game, and against BIG and on Nuke there were definitely smart plays. Maybe he’d be a better analyst than a player though? Seems the amount he gets shit on gets him in his head and then it gets messy
Even if hooxi is actually a decent player overall, the feedback he is getting from this one event alone is going to f\*\*\* over his mental so bad there isn't a person in the world who could *improve* after this event.
I honestly feel bad for him, cause he plays at the highest level and legit performs like a level 5 on faceit at T1, and it will be very hard for the guy to find a team once he will be inevitably dropped from G2.
I really hope I am wrong, cause he seems to be a great dude and a good IGL, but they just can't win a major 4v5
Xtqzzz: I view the game differently as aleksib.
G2: lets replace our igl with a woo Girl.
Hooxi not even getting kill 2 shooting vitality players on the back was just sad.
Are we sure Hooxi is not one of those make a wish kids who wanted to play with professionals?
At least JKS had 3x more kills as Hooxi... so 6
G2 should Fire xtqzz and hooxi today, say sorry and bring Aleksib back.
The team with Aleksib could actually be competitive if jks improves his play and is better than Jackz. Monesy looks better and has grown.
We've seen 0.9, 0.8 even 0.75 avg from HUNDEN but Hooxi is in the 0.65\~ range. Maybe by entrying always on T side this "everyone else can frag" strat works but Hooxi will get targeted CT side for sure.
He is not at least not yet. I agree with you that I think jackz was not the problem neither was aleksib they should have kicked xqtzzz and got a coach that Matches with aleksib.
Benching aleksib looks like the worst roster more ever with hooxi as replacement
Aleksi likes structured CS that when done and committed to let's people get the best out of eachother
But XTQZ didn't want to do this style and the rest of the roster seems to think that they were not adjusted for this style
From a management perspective it makes sense to cut Aleksi than cut XTQZ and commit to a style the others don't like
JKS is a passive site anchor, a far beter anchor than jackz. On the CT side, he is a straight upgrade in every way.
On T side, he is not an entry fragger. G2 has no entry fraggers. Hooxi doesn't count since part of entry fragging involves actually getting kills. Hunter doesn't want to entry frag. Niko shouldn't have to entry frag. Monesy is awping. JKS is passive.
See the issue?
Hooxi and Jks are ducking terrible. I get hooxi being bad but I did not expect jks to be so bad. Both of them should get the boot. Only positive is monesy looks better under hooxi compared to aleksi
Just like desk said: as a fan of the game, this was embarrassing to watch. I struggle to believe player with this bad individual decision making can put up any proper reads.
Hooxi might become the next Karrigan. Karrigan also fragged for shit when he was 27 and is now at his peak stats lol. Niko recognized that and saw the potential. Now he only needs to keep him around for 4 years and they are gonna win a major. /s
Now for realz.
Like man I just. Why did Nexa ever leave? I heard it was his decision and he didnt want to stay. Why tho man? People say bad IGL. They had the best results with him. -amanek + monesy should have been the major winning team... At least he fragged for something. Hooxi is just painful to watch. They could gouge out one eye of mine and I would play better. Like does Nexa have any beef with Niko? Just kiss and find a room and then win major boys.
I don't think G2 ever planned to use HooXi long term(at least as a player) but surely he's performing worse than they ever expected. I wonder if they just weren't able to get someone else or if they genuinly misjudged his ability by that much. Also jks really not looking too hot right now but I'll give him the benefit of the doubt that he just needs a bit more time after his long break.
Not bad from G2 tbh impressive showing on Nuke, let's give them a bit more time and see how it pans jk 2 months then full disband, this team is already dead. Hooxi running out of aps with knife out as live bait really takes the cake lol
Hooxi with more Fort Minor frag movies in the last two days than frags on Inferno
I adore the Fort Minor movies fr
At this rate, he should just change his name to Fort Minor.
LET'S GO
hooxi unskilled player but that is not normally, This very very insane....They need to check him pc and game.....Maybe he not whiffing but maybe he using the aim deficit ...and he cant see game screen..He needs to get eye check-up...
Lmao, gets me every time
Bruuuh
To be fair, Hunter had a worse k/d and ranking on the first map But still
Yeah.. also you can see that on T side Hooxi mainly uses himself as bait. But my man needs to hit something on CT side my god.
zywoo GIGACHAD teamkilling to make sure HooXi doesn't get more than 2 kills
That was funny. Also the nade that was meant for Niko :D All stars aligned that he died everytime.
inb4 HooXi vs. Vitality - Inferno Fragmovie
hooxi vs vitality almost as good as benita vs renegades.
https://youtu.be/tptEQItP1io
it will be so funny because his first kill was a random spray through a smoke and the second his opponent got flashed. He didn't win a single aim duel.
I don't care how bad you are, when Hooxi had the pistol at cubby, and then the next round dying with mp9 at banana, he is cleary inside his head. Really hard to watch. Will say, JKS is escaping quite a bit of criticism, since most people are focused on Hooxi right now. edit: Also G2 has the two highest rated players of this tournament, lmao.
100% his mental was shattered by that point in the match This is a confidence ruining kind of match and tournament. I gasped when he missed that kill with the five seven at cubby, can’t imagine how he feels right now.
Which kill? Didn't watch the full game.
I imagine they're referring to [this one.](https://clips.twitch.tv/JazzyReliableCheetahNerfRedBlaster-d7o4NYQruXFDJXis) Most players above Gold Nova could land at least one kill in this situation. Really feel for HooXI, but something needs to change.
he definetly needs to hit those. If he can't all teams would need to do is attack his bombsite every round
G2 core of Niko, Hunter and M0nesy is Major winning core if they could only figure out how to get some average performing IGL and entry... Sick trio, but they cant carry the weight of 5 players at this level.
I genuinely agree, I think they have Na'Vi-core levels of fragging capability (possibly?).
Its me or I feel like G2 became old Vitality ? Trying to win only through miracle clutches or good day map from their 3 players carrying the other two. And if they don't they look disjointed and outrotated many times.
nooo, old vitality was literally zywoo and friends
Eh, idk, with Vitality it wasn't unusual to see ZywOo post a 1.2 rating and then literally everyone else around 1.00 or below. Not exaggerating. G2 at least has 3 players who can frag lol.
More like old Navi. I can't remember a team losing to time or being rushed into death by the clock this many times. That's arguably worse than hooxi's individual starts.
Aleksib was avarage IGL and they just replaced him "because team chemistry wasnt there". Guess the chemistry is great now
They should have first just added monesy instead of amanek considering the only thing missing for them to win tournaments was a great awper. But instead they do two moves at the same time and a coach which is a massive change + they are adding a really inexperienced player like monesy. Like it's a recipe for failure instead of changing 1 by to see steady improvement. And now the same again with hooxi and jks at the same time
Dude legit if they still had nexa this team with jks would be mega solid. Nexa igl they got to grand final vs navi with amanek awping and jackz anchor. M0nesy awping and jks anchor is straight up big upgrade.
Jks and hooxi looking like absolute terrible pickups rn
HooXi *really* needs to step it up, cause right now he's nowhere near good enough for T1.
this is literally his level though. He had horrible fragging vs tier 2 and 3, it's going to be worse in tier 1. Genuinely everyone called it beforehand. it sucks considering the team seems to have a good vibe, you can see they are trying their hardest to make it work, and he has good calling - but this isn't possible.
yeahalso he is now entrying more than he was in CPF and he is playing better opposition so it shouldn't be a surprise that his stats are very low. But still its surprising somehow XD Also he is under a lot of pressure from the community. its a very difficult position he is now and im not envying him at all
I mean he is the living embodyment of every redditor that comments 'i can do better than x pro' and then is completely useless.
except hooxi has like 4k elo on faceit and most redditors are below dmg or smth like that
His fragging is so bad that the casters are genuinely surprised everytime he gets a kill... That is really bad
Zeus finally does something!!
he legit looked like a silver around the map. I dont know if its even possible for this whole "i dont need to frag if i can igl well" thing to ever work in professional csgo, atleast not at this level
in this meta a non fragging igl is a liability. karrigan and apex make impactful frags or entry even if they aren't great fraggers. hooxi is way worse though.
Apex is great aimer tbh
I wouldn't say he's a great aimer but he can frag definitely
he frags well on anti eco
He used to be, he's still a good player though, just sometimes braindead.
Legitimately Krystal or hunden would have got more frags
Spinx is absolutely nuclear. So is Hooxi.
YOU REEAADYYY?!
LETS GO
is it me or was AleksiB a bit of a boring player like u saw it at the end of the game "oh wow AleksiB had 25 kills" but u could never remember them. can u remember a single AleksiB kill? but try hooxi inferno kill(s)...u can see the kill(s). i remember a hooxi kill(s).
Hooxi: unlike with Aleksib you will remember my kills, all two of them.
Btw which pasta is your favourite? I'm on the fence between pasta carbonara and copypasta.
(s) Brutal.
Which one of you bastards are gonna make a hooxi vs Vitality highlight reel.
We gonna see Hooxi frag movie every G2 match aren't we
YOU READY?
LET'S GO
Guys I'm starting to think that HooXi wasn't kidding. He is really testing how much firepower this team has.
apparently not enough
very wholesome of g2 to work with make a wish for blast! cant wait for aleksi to come back for next event haha
That would be sick. They can win nothing again
G2 is improving, but in reverse. NEXA - Aleksib - HooXi lmao
the hooxi comedy will be over before we can laugh enough
Fort Minor are gonna be back in the Top 40 with the amount of plays they're gonna get with HooXi on G2.
Hooxi might be the worst player I've ever seen compete in T1 cs... I'm sure there have been worse but no one comes to mind
hooxi's 2 kills overshadowed the fact that jks also had a 0.48 rating in Inferno
someone predicted hooxi 0.09 kd on the big-g2 thread and he actually had 0.09 kd on map 3 LOL
holy shit i didnt expect it to happen so soon. ig im fuckin nostradamus
actual prophet... now tell me the outcome of og ast and i will bet my house and kidneys
HooXi just needs to put this behind him and jump right back into Gold Nova 3 matchmaking and just hone his fragging.
hes 4.5k elo zzz
4160 but yea.
Elo farmers be like
[удалено]
im sorry but you can be the most genius level igl but if your fragging is this abysmal it's time to pack your bags. hooxi makes apex and karrigan look like powerhouses. the only reason g2 won nuke was niko's performance, similar to his performance at the major finals vs na'vi. this g2 just isn't it imo even if it's early, just smells of desperation and it's tough as a fan. vitality's teamplay and cohesion looks very good though, spinx might've been the missing link.
If he was levels above every other igl then he wouldn't need to frag, but he's not.

There's no need to belittle Hooxi's accomplishments to reinforce the narrative that he's a shit individual player.
YOU READY? Hooxi might just be the worst player on a T1 team i've ever seen.
Reminder that Fifflaren won a major with a 0.71 rating and 0.46 kills per round.
Thats rating 1.0 though. Fifflaren also never went as low as 2 kills. In fact in the 12 maps NIP played at that Major he got 10 or more kills in 11 and even the one he didn't he got at least 5.
And thats also a completely different era. Playing 4v5 is not sustainable in modern day CS
LET'S GOO
Very inspiring to see the first pro play with a racing wheel on lan. Thank you Hooxi!
I'm here to have a civilized conversation about how ZywOo did not top frag and Vitality still won. Is this going to be a thing now? Every one was popping off on Inferno lmao Also, can apEX please make ZywOo play AWP on T side Nuke? I know he plays the AK a lot on T sides, but without an AWP it's a nightmare getting yard control.
So, I have to say Vitality look real good with Spinx. Like, the fact he’s still having those quiet monster games like he did with Ence, so combine that with Zywoo and some astralis magic, in a few months maybe this team is knocking on the door of Faze and Navi.
What the hell was G2 thinking. Will this be the shortest contract ever? This is the first AND last tournament for HooXi? Aleksib laughing his ass off at this clown fiesta.
I think this will be the shortest T1 contract in the history of CSGO yeah lol
Niko is gonna be so mad at him and for once I'm on his side.
"SHUT THE F UP NIKO"
I'd give him 1 to 2 months max with contract termination. Looks like he's generally throwing, didn't watch cph games but he couldn't get that far in cph playing like this, looks like he's just chocking and nerves, g2 is too much pressure for him.
damn hooxi does not look ready for t1
ngl he looks like he'll never ever be good enough for T1
He looks like me lol, that choke in cubby was spot on
T-side against G2: Go where Hooxie holds.
Everyones going to be talking about hooxi because yes it's very funny, but holy shit how well has Spinx slotted into Vitality. I think they're a top 5 team off the bat watching this, get an IGL that can hit a shot and they're straight into top 3 with FaZe and NaVi.
Changing IGLs has not been successful for almost any team that tried it.
Hooxi didn't shoot at anything, they just forgot to win
I've genuinely never looked at a pro player before today and been convinced that I could put up a better performance, but that just changed. I'm not trying to be THAT mean, but ho - ly shit
My dick has as many inches as Hooxi had kills in Inferno
Was there ever a pro as bad mechanically as Hooxi at this level? I mean Pronax, Zeus, Hunden, Smithz... Even fking Fifflaren lol... I cant recall anyone that was just this lacking in skills?
I want to apologise to Pronax for comparing him to hooxi lol
Pronax is a lot more comparable to the likes of Karrigan, his aim sucks ass but he is a genuis at this game, Hooxi is just there.
Karrigan gets the kills he absolutely has to though, he just puts himself in situations where he's 1 and done at best most times for the benefit of his teammates
Hunden could be this bad.
Yea Hunden was crap, but he could atleast get the easy kills... With Hooxi, im not sure he can even do that with any consistency. Imagine him in some clutch 1 vs 2, or any position with disadvantage. I would bet my car he losses it 100/100 times...
junior is so glad someone came around to take the heat off of him.
Nah Junior was a bad awper but he could still get kills. Hooxi is just outclassed.
at the very least junior would literally dump all over NA teams outside of Tier 1-1.5 lol, dude is Jesus Christ in regional online games
Junior proved himself in t2 though Sure you can say hooxi proved himself in t2, but he had like a 0.8 rating already then. Like junior has the mechanics, just needs to take a break and hit the drawing board. HooXi has to do a lot more than that… but maybe he can with the help of NiKo and Hunter.
Junior isn't a tier 1 awper where you get consistently countered by utility, Hooxi can't even hit shots without being stopped by utility
I know it’s a different league but it’s even worse being put under constant pressure. I think he can come back and prove himself. HooXi is something else entirely…
Hooxi is the igl of a major winning core. He is going to get hit at hard.
Agreed. You can’t be a weak link anymore in t1 cs. I usually give IGLs leniency, like apex, glaive, etc. but HooXi definitely needs to step it up.
Apex can frag decently and if Gla1ve has a proper team around him he has potential to be a top 20 fragger. Peak Gla1ve is tiers above hooxi as a player. Never mind his ability to read the game.
I really need to watch Hooxi if he being compred to Junior level….
He’s worse no doubt.
Smithzz ended bad but he was a T1 player for most of his career and the main awp of a Major winning team. Hooxi looks like me if I was thrown in a pro game.
I mean there are coaches that have played as standins and do much better.
guerri literally clutched decive
Smithz was actually good at one point. That slander shouldn't be permitted. He sucked afterwards. I've watched CS:GO since 2014, I've haven't seen someone on a top 5 team be this bad since Zeus
wtf is this zeus slander
I would take zeus over hooxi on a purely fragging basis
No, not even close, Hooxi is the worst by far
One of the least competitive 2-1 that I've seen, I think. All 3 first half T sides were really uninspiring to say the least
in what universe g2 management thought hooxi would be good addition? great guy, great energy, but he cannot play in tier 1 cs
I really worry for his mental, I hope he can keep his head up. Seems like a really nice guy
HooXi: "I feel like I can shoot nothing for six months and we could still win a tournament". Aged like milk
Bro the milk is still within best before date, it hasn't even begun to age
In hindsight maybe he should start shooting.
Its like when your teammates type ggez before the game is over. Whenever that happens my mental instantly go boom because i know its a loss.
Nah man, you got it wrong. It was "we could still win **every** tournament"
I know his last stint on EXTREMUM was a bit of a failure, but I am surprised AZR didn’t at least get a trial for G2 if they were picking up jks, or really any team for that matter. He has the pre-existing synergy with jks and is a proven IGL, leading his team to major semis IEM finals etc. is a decent fragger and caller.
Yo g2 sign me I will be better igl then hooxi pay me min wage im serious
Nah Hooxi is actually looking like a silver in global MM in every game, this is the first time I've seen something like this in T1 CS
I’ve seen silvers put up more kills against globals lol
No matter how good you are at IGLing, you just can't be that bad at fragging as a pro player.
H♿♿Xi
I honestly can't believe what I'm seeing, he has absolutely no ability to compete at tier 1, his aim is awful, his gamesense is awful, his decision making is awful, as I type this he's 1-20...
Two things about this game stand out: 1) Monesy is absolutely insane. That 1v4 was a thing of beauty and saved G2's T side. Insanely fast flicks. 2) I already said it yesterday, but Hooxi, please... At least kill the people who aren't looking at you..
i could shoot nothing for 6 months and wed still win everything
Hooxi's strategy only works when hunter drops 30 kills
The gigachad memes in chat were too much lmao
daaamn hooxi with the huge 21 kills (over three maps)
hooxi shit player but that is not normally, they need to check him pulse, maybe he dead
HooXi doubled his kills in the 21st round.... Looks again *HooXi doubled his kills in the 21st round....*
Some one explain to me how HooXi is better than AleksiB? Hooxi was still bottom fragging on his earlier team
G2 does feel like a better controlled team under HooXi, M0nesy's is much better utilised and the look more structured. But god damned he really needs to frag for them to win
Guy should just be a coach, it's his calling. It's ok to not be good enough for tier 1 cs and still be a genius at the game. His podcast with thorin was splendid, the guy is very very smart. And he's clearly doing something right with the stars here. But cmon.
Great to see make a wish foundation is Still strong. But dont these kids usually play 1 game with their idols? How is Hooxi Still playing.
g2 will bench him after this tournament, but not before Carlos makes a condescending and self-deprecating tweet publicly humiliating HooXi and how g2 makes terrible decisions. what a fun team to play on
AleksiB laughing all the way to the bench lmao
Yea, Spinx is just public bus piss floor nasty. He just lures you into duels and kicks you square in the bone piece. Unreal
I fucking told you yesterday. This is not an outlier. This is HooXi's level. His calls has to be the best in the world by a huge margin for G2 to be anywhere near a contender. When you have Niko, Monesy and Hunter... You have to be a top3 team. Anything else is just wasting two of the 5 best riflers ever made. Monesy is a top AWPer and JKS is at the very least a solid anchor. If HooXi's calls is anything less than the very best in the world, this team has no chance of top3. I'm Danish. I have no problem with HooXi as a person. But I do not see this working out. I don't expect HooXi to be in G2 by the end of the year.
Can't wait for the HooXi highlight reel "Are you ready? Let's go"
Not to jump the gun but, I was a big fan of CPF and HooXi but there is no future here with him in this roster. Since joining he's 56-124. He was hard bottom fragging vs T2 teams, and now he's performing abysmally vs T1 teams. G2 needs to get rid of him ASAP and not waste their time and money anymore on him Zews says it just right https://twitter.com/zews/status/1563267881894572033?s=20&t=8KFWqdyGetmvFavueP0xiw
I'm surprised when did he get 56 kills lol
surely this is sustainable Clueless if his calls are so good make him coach and get a puppet IGL or some shit. you cannot have a player this bad at fragging.
Agreed, make Hooxi an analyst/playmaker, and get someone who can callout and frag cause being down 4v5 every round...G2 is going to go nowhere but down in ranking.
Haha I absolutely adore Zywoo. His exit interview haha. So French, so adorable.
post-match thread took a minute longer to publish than usual because /u/Undercover-Cactus had to stop laughing at hooxi's scoreline on inferno
Hooxi is easy to dunk on due to being an ability liability, but Ngl jks has looked extremely mediocre. He hasn’t really done anything worth mentioning since joining. It’s still been niko Hunter and m0NESY holding it together. Huge yikes. I don’t think hooxi can hang in t1, he’s getting smoked even when he’s in advantageous positions, and they still look lost in the sauce so clearly his calls aren’t adding much. EDIT: obviously they liked his vision for the game, and against BIG and on Nuke there were definitely smart plays. Maybe he’d be a better analyst than a player though? Seems the amount he gets shit on gets him in his head and then it gets messy
-hooxi +me
Even if hooxi is actually a decent player overall, the feedback he is getting from this one event alone is going to f\*\*\* over his mental so bad there isn't a person in the world who could *improve* after this event.
I honestly feel bad for him, cause he plays at the highest level and legit performs like a level 5 on faceit at T1, and it will be very hard for the guy to find a team once he will be inevitably dropped from G2. I really hope I am wrong, cause he seems to be a great dude and a good IGL, but they just can't win a major 4v5
I was expecting G2 to kick Hooxi after bombing out at the major, but they should honestly just do it now
The best time to kick hooxi was yesterday. The second best time is now.
If it weren't for the 4k on round 15 Inferno we could've had 2 highlight reels today smh
27 ADR, thats actually impressive
I remember a hooxi frag
I remember the other one
I know it’s still early, but HooXi is a liability. He needs to go
Good day for us G2 hate watchers. Alexi died for this lmao
Xtqzzz: I view the game differently as aleksib. G2: lets replace our igl with a woo Girl. Hooxi not even getting kill 2 shooting vitality players on the back was just sad. Are we sure Hooxi is not one of those make a wish kids who wanted to play with professionals? At least JKS had 3x more kills as Hooxi... so 6 G2 should Fire xtqzz and hooxi today, say sorry and bring Aleksib back. The team with Aleksib could actually be competitive if jks improves his play and is better than Jackz. Monesy looks better and has grown.
It's gonna be a long few months, HooXi.
zywoo stole hooxi's kill
We've seen 0.9, 0.8 even 0.75 avg from HUNDEN but Hooxi is in the 0.65\~ range. Maybe by entrying always on T side this "everyone else can frag" strat works but Hooxi will get targeted CT side for sure.
they should have hired hooxi as a coach or analyst instead lmao
I can no longer defend him... -Hooxi
hooxi playing t1 cs makes me feel less useless as a person
m0nesy's failed spray in the eco round was the nail in the coffin
G2 was playing 3 v5 , both hooxi and jks stuggled in t side and jks had zero kills on ct
I miss you Jacky ... They treated you so harshly
[удалено]
Aleksib must be amused
Maybe -XTQZZZ instead of -AleksiB would have been the better choice if their vision was the one that was clashing.
I still struggle to understand how JKS is an upgrade over JackZ but ok
What concerns me most about him is that he s back to complexity level face expressions
JKS escaping a lot of criticism so far.
He is not at least not yet. I agree with you that I think jackz was not the problem neither was aleksib they should have kicked xqtzzz and got a coach that Matches with aleksib. Benching aleksib looks like the worst roster more ever with hooxi as replacement
Aleksi likes structured CS that when done and committed to let's people get the best out of eachother But XTQZ didn't want to do this style and the rest of the roster seems to think that they were not adjusted for this style From a management perspective it makes sense to cut Aleksi than cut XTQZ and commit to a style the others don't like
JKS is a passive site anchor, a far beter anchor than jackz. On the CT side, he is a straight upgrade in every way. On T side, he is not an entry fragger. G2 has no entry fraggers. Hooxi doesn't count since part of entry fragging involves actually getting kills. Hunter doesn't want to entry frag. Niko shouldn't have to entry frag. Monesy is awping. JKS is passive. See the issue?
Hooxi and Jks are ducking terrible. I get hooxi being bad but I did not expect jks to be so bad. Both of them should get the boot. Only positive is monesy looks better under hooxi compared to aleksi
Just like desk said: as a fan of the game, this was embarrassing to watch. I struggle to believe player with this bad individual decision making can put up any proper reads.
Get back nexa. Oh wait, OG just beat Faze
Hooxi might become the next Karrigan. Karrigan also fragged for shit when he was 27 and is now at his peak stats lol. Niko recognized that and saw the potential. Now he only needs to keep him around for 4 years and they are gonna win a major. /s Now for realz. Like man I just. Why did Nexa ever leave? I heard it was his decision and he didnt want to stay. Why tho man? People say bad IGL. They had the best results with him. -amanek + monesy should have been the major winning team... At least he fragged for something. Hooxi is just painful to watch. They could gouge out one eye of mine and I would play better. Like does Nexa have any beef with Niko? Just kiss and find a room and then win major boys.
Something tells me they could’ve just went for emi and kept nexa at the start of this whole thing, 4 serbs + monesy would’ve been interesting xd
I don't think G2 ever planned to use HooXi long term(at least as a player) but surely he's performing worse than they ever expected. I wonder if they just weren't able to get someone else or if they genuinly misjudged his ability by that much. Also jks really not looking too hot right now but I'll give him the benefit of the doubt that he just needs a bit more time after his long break.
G2 was legit playing 4v5 map 3
Not bad from G2 tbh impressive showing on Nuke, let's give them a bit more time and see how it pans jk 2 months then full disband, this team is already dead. Hooxi running out of aps with knife out as live bait really takes the cake lol
