If anyone had Twistzz saying “people just left North American CS for Valorant because of the easy money” on their 2022 bingo cards, please stop lying, no one had that there*.* Because why would you? It’s like saying water is wet.
In an interview with RyanAtDust2, Twistzz didn’t beat around the bush with his thoughts on NA’s current demise, stating that “… the switch is for the money and the work ethic wasn’t there in CS to become better”.
Ah, we love some spice.
The statements, obviously spawned reactions across the board in NA, with pros and pundits from each side chiming in on the issues.
Here are the two best takes we found (most of them were shitty to be fair):
daps, who helmed multiple NA CS:GO teams stated that “people who switched weren’t paid and wouldn’t be paid still in CS”, which is probably right. It’s not hard to choose between playing for peanuts in Party Astronauts or earning $30K a month. Like, sign us up immediately.
YNk’s statement, on the other hand, defended Twistzz. He said that Twistzz could have been “blindsided by the question” and that players are entitled in NA as opposed to the rest of the world. We mean, he’s not totally wrong.
Maybe Twistzz just doesn’t give a fuck because he plays for FaZe and lives in Europe? If he wins the Major we’ll just make him an honorary Dane and be done with it.
