Hello, friends! CS News Live here! Today we have G2 breaking their curse streak, crazy roster shuffles, Monacy’s thoughts on former captains, and more from the CS2 world. Let’s dive in!
Starting with 3D Max: Insider KRL reported that Gentlemates were interested in signing the players, but now claims they might sign with BC Game or Twisted Minds. The next few days will be crucial, but they could re-sign with 3D Max.
FACEIT has cracked down on toxicity. Depending on your level, bans range from a week to a year. To reduce your toxicity, you’ll need to complete probation periods of 1, 3, or 6 months. Recently, FACEIT banned 150,000 accounts for smurfing or boosting. These changes aim to make the platform more efficient, eliminating cheaters and toxic players.
Now, for the roster shuffles: People are already talking about post-Shanghai Major transfers. Falcons are rumored to be building a stacked roster with Niko, Monacy, and Apex. They might even replace their captain with Apex. While these are still just rumors, Vitality responded to us on Twitter with laughter, so there could be some truth. Justin Snappy denied that Apex would replace him in Falcons, but things can change. Richard Lewis asked who the sniper would be if both Monacy and Simple are on the team. Alexander responded that if there’s a better sniper, he’d have no problem switching to a rifler role.
By the way, today is Simple’s 27th birthday! Wish him well in the comments. Nico’s transfer rumors have been around for a while, but whispers about Vitality’s changes are just starting. Apex might leave, and if he does, ZywOo could step in as captain. Vitality is also reportedly interested in Yimpat, and while Spinx considered leaving, it might depend on Mezi’s departure.
As for FaZe, they’re considering cutting Reign or Kerrigan. If Kerrigan leaves, CYWI could replace him. Meanwhile, Mouz signed a new NXT roster to secure their future talent.
In the Blast finals, Na’Vi faced G2. Starting on Ancient, G2 dominated despite Na’Vi winning 5 rounds in a row. G2 closed out the map. On Dust2, Na’Vi took control, but G2 came back strong, with Hunter securing an ace and winning the map. Mirage, Na’Vi’s strongest map, saw G2 take the first three rounds. Na’Vi fought back but G2 crushed their morale, winning the map.
Inferno started with JL nearly clutching a 1v3, but G2 gained momentum and secured several rounds. Na’Vi managed a streak of their own, but G2 shut them down, with Monacy securing the final round in a 1v2 clutch. Monacy was awarded MVP, and JL joked that Monacy looks sweet in photos but is a beast in-game. This was also Nexo’s first tournament win in six years, while Hunter reminded everyone that G2 can’t lose 10 times in a row.
Lastly, Monacy shared his experience playing under different captains. He found Alexey B the most unique, but struggled with his vision. Hooksy, despite poor stats, made a big impact off-game, and Snax is still learning to call, leading to some issues. But Monacy is happy with the current team.
Let’s wrap up with Maui’s aura tier list. In S tier are G2 and FaZe, with Na’Vi in the next tier alongside Mongols, Vitality, and Eternal Fire. At the bottom is 9Z, with Falcons and Heroic slightly above. In my opinion, Heroic has aura, and after roster shuffles, Falcons could rise significantly.
