~~Everyone~~ is making roster moves.

Everyone seems to be panicking right now, as this edition is practically a roster move special.
The MongolZ, PARIVISION, OG, and NIP are all in the headlines, and before you ask, no, we don’t think a single team is doing anything good. Sit back and enjoy the hate watch.

“We fear these moves will see The MongolZ slide down the rankings over the coming season, and it would be a real shame to watch one of the last great national rosters slowly fade away.”
Yeah, well… it sucks to be right.
As always, the TL;DR prophets spoke, and those who heeded their wisdom knew this MongolZ roster was dead on arrival. We just didn’t expect the certificate to be issued this soon.
As quickly as they came in, they were booted out. DarkMeister and tikuak have been placed on the bench, just two months and nine matches after their signings.
Do you remember the madness in Mongolia when this team reached the Austin Major final, had the entire country behind them, and climbed to #1 in the world? A humble and incredibly sharp squad that won the hearts of the entire CS community. The kind of run that makes you remember why you love the game in the first place.
Fast forward a year, and it’s only a matter of time before they hit #30, barely even part of the Tier 1 conversation. Seriously, are they even the best Mongolian team right now?
As a wise man once said, the definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results. And right now, that fool is whoever is calling the shots over there.
Because if the rumours are anything to go by, their next move is to bring back cobrazera and promote M4k, a 15-year-old academy player with 2 HLTV-recorded matches. What could possibly go wrong?
Find a random pre-pubescent teenager whose biggest achievement in CS is playing 20 FACEITs a day. Slot them into the lineup. Give them two months to prove themselves. Watch them inevitably underperform. Kick them. Repeat.
We can't wait to see what ten-year-old The MongolZ have got in store for us in December.

We hate OG.
Nothing good has ever come from them in CS, other than occasionally giving us the easy chance to sh-t on someone in this newsletter.
The latest reason is that they’re apparently going through another rebuild, this time keeping just spooke and bodyy, with the Frenchman set to take the reins as IGL.
And yes, that does mean cadiaN has failed. Again. Funny.
To make matters worse, they were also apparently going to try and sign a core from 3DMAX, not that it would’ve helped them much, they’re sh-t too.
However, now that 3DMAX won’t be joining OG, we really have clue what they’ll do.
Spending money on a core seems pretty pointless given the money it would take to buy one with solid chances at a Major, and building competitive teams hasn’t exactly been their strong suit in the past.
Instead, we might suggest OG just do what they should’ve done years ago - cut their losses and run for the hills.
Alternatively, as punishment for the money wasted, they could also take a bath with a toaster.
We don’t mind which.

Everyone loves opening cases, so Valve had to ruin them by making them those miserable terminals. Of course, you could still buy old cases and open those at extortionate prices, but why line the pockets of Valve if they can’t be f-cked to even make a working anti-cheat?
Fortunately, our friends at Razed have the solution for this, so get yourselves on razed.io by using our referral link and get three free cases upon sign-up!

This week on Overtime on Inferno, Quacke is joined by sh-tposter extraordinaire Poloolpp. You may know him as the the guy on twitter who believes broky still deserves a career. If you aren’t familiar then you will be after watching this episode, where our guest argues G2 would be better with broky than they are with r1nkle.

Just a week ago, adamb was in a right old rut. He was dropping some of the best performances in all of tier two, week in and week out, regardless of opponent - including against donk himself - but his teammates couldn’t win a series to save their lives.
In the past few years, signing a contract to join OG has been a career dead end, and adamb was no exception.
If you're reading this while stuck in a maze, here’s a tip: turn right at every junction, and you'll eventually find your way out, even if it means running into a few more dead ends.
As he left OG, it seems this was exactly what adamb was thinking.
As the latest in a long line of promising players throwing their careers away, adamb has decided to become the first Swede to join NIP since REZ and isak left at the end of 2024. For the next few months, he’ll get to experience what it’s like to have Xizt as a coach, stavn as your AWPer, and Krimbo as your IGL.
In other words - hell.
Despite that, we still have some faith in the kid. He’s only 21, his ability is clear to anyone with eyes, and we’d even argue he beats his twin brother on pure ability. While this NIP stint is unlikely to yield much success, we’re sure he’ll find his way out of the maze eventually.
Until then, we’ll at least have one more player to cheer for, aside from xKacpersky, as we hatewatch their games.

HObbit is back on PARIVISION.
Why? We don’t really know, but we think it has something to do with them being f-cking rubbish.
Things just haven’t gone right for them in recent months, and after just 26 maps with unheard of wonderkid slaxejezzz, they’ve benched him for HObbit, who they previously benched for FL1T.
Right then.
It’s a move that inspires absolutely nobody, and only further raises questions of if PARIVISION were ever any good at all, or if everyone else just forgot how to deal with Jame pedo-ball.
You do have to feel for slaxejezzz, though. Given his complete lack of experience, it’s a mystery why they ever signed him, and hopefully the utterly pants performances he’s put out haven’t shattered his confidence.
PARIVISION will be hoping it hasn’t anyway, they’ve said they’re only looking to loan him out and still see him as a valid asset for the future.
A future that we feel may come sooner rather than later, as we don’t see a world where washed-up HObbit and FL1T can ever inspire a solid placement out of this team ever again.
It was nice to see you again, Jame, but now you can go back to the infinitely overrated bucket where you belong.
