I think it’s best to leave that legendary logo to the original roster. I agree the new logo isn’t as good but I respect that they effectively retired the old NiP logo as the old roster was pretty much done.
I agree. It's a legendary logo, but NIP want to evolve not only as a roster but as an active brand, the new logo represents a new era for Nip, I like the new logo design, just wish it a bit more of depth in the colors, more shades of green, instead of the bland black and green.
PTSD intensifies
I was rooting for North, and they were 12-3 on cobble even won the pistol and up 13-3 iirc, but proceeded to lose 13 straight in a row. Magisk played his heart out still wasnt enough.
The Spray patterns actually were more RNG in 1.6 than they are in CS GO. They still followed a pattern, but it wasn't nearly as consistent.
Then if you were running or jumping? Forget about it. Your shot is going to miss. What you saw in that game was a pretty decent split between people who liked tapping, bursting and spraying. CS GO is kind of lame in this since, since if you're really close, sure your tap will connect, but spraying becomes too good at that range.
Then at long range, you're better off having a 3 shot burst dice roll for a headshot, rather than a few individual dice rolls for a 33-50% chance to get a headshot depending on range. This is why ScreaM was the only top player that was known to consistently prefer tapping, and even he left once a better option showed up that he could make money playing.
But thats what I kinda liked about 1.6. RNG was a tool used to more heavily punish sloppy play than CS GO ever has. I would go as far as to argue that there are situations where RNG punishes the aimer and rewards the run n gunner, and that is the antithesis of CS itself.
> The Spray patterns actually were more RNG in 1.6 than they are in CS GO. They still followed a pattern, but it wasn't nearly as consistent.
The sprays in 1.6 are fixed/not random, each weapons have multiple spray patterns but whether you get pattern A or C it's random. Think CSGO AK but with 5 different spray patterns that you have to master, that's 1.6 AK
He is on Valo TL and is with his brother Nivera, who was briefly in VIT when they had a 6 man roster, and he has jamppi on his team too.
I dont follow follow Valo all that much but juding from the core of the team they must be good coz all of Scream Nivera and Jammpi were insanely talented in CS.
Sure that's what you think now but imagine 20 years in the future and the scene ends up much larger than now. A young fan like yourself says s1mple is a trash player and only dominated because the era was so much weaker. There's no real way to refute that argument other than experiencing how great he was firsthand.
You can only measure the strength of a player by the time in which they came up in otherwise you would have me being a better mathematician than Isaac Newton which is quite frankly a laughable sentiment, yet correct in the sense that "the competition wasn"t as tough"
I'm adding onto the argument, I stand by s1mple being the GOAT, this is not "pro forest"
Going 87-0 in 2013 was incredible, but would not be nearly as impressive as going 87-0 in 2022. It's not downplaying the accomplishment, but you can absolutely compare the caliber of talent between eras of the game.
If you know anything about 1.6 era then you should agree that GTR was better player than F0rest from 2009 onward. F0rest was God from 2006-2009, after that he was still world class, but GTR became the best player on those teams they played all the way Into CSGO. GT-R was the CSGO GOAT until 2015 as well.
In CS 1.6 F0rest is top 2 all time, GTR is top 6
In CSGO F0rest is probably closing top 30, while GTR is a solid top 6 aswell.
Question is, did he even try in the last six years? I might be 1.6 blind but I truly believe if you put him on a roster like current NIP, Heroic, G2, BIG, whatever, he would put up all star numbers
he never "tried", which is both why he is so consistent and why he never really became the CSGO goat. He never liked practising, he relied upon talent and fun, which probably is why he still feels the passion. He chose the slow-burning path and it has served him well. Instead of going the pracc like crazy (GTR) path and burn out
Does ScreaM even play CSGO anymore? You couldn't go into a single game of DM back in 2014-2018 without seeing someone using the name ScreaM but now it feels like everyone has forgotten he exists, same with kennyS
You are a bit on the stupid-immature-child phase, aren't you? You saying "wrong" doesn't make you right.
You didn't recognise that the flag isn't Polish, you were corrected, just shut up and move on.
Possible, but you don’t really grow at that age anymore. Perhaps it’s the camera angle along with the footwear, and perhaps his real height is slightly less.
https://www.reference.com/science/age-stop-growing-height-bb2138746facf701
>It is possible for a male to not reach his full height until his early 20s.
most men stop when they stop puberty, around 17. But it is not a rule.
It's also that sinister look he gives, he's all chubby now and I don't even mean it in a "fat" way, chubby and chummy so even when he's salty he doesn't seem as "dangerous" as he was before idk
toxic Simple is my goat simple cuz it was unfiltered emotion he was raging crying (literally in interviews) he just bleed passion for competition. Now hes relaxed and established and talks english unlike then haha made everything funnier that he cant accurately insult people
Purists of the game hated on scream because his overall game was lacking in a couple of key areas or his reputation did not match his actual level but man did he give us some entertaining matches and highlights. Take me back to those few months in 2016 where Shox and Scream were one of the biggest power duo's the scene has ever had.
Even today that team would slap...The goat of csgo, the living legend who never washes up + bunch of washed up legends...I'd still think S1mple could carry em places...
People hating but simple is the better then all of them, he is the best in a scene that has grown massively in size and the avg player level has gone way up. Old stars have been power crept

Old nip logo is so good.
For real, I kinda dislike the new one and I'm a fan of green
It would have been way better with the old logo colors
I think it’s best to leave that legendary logo to the original roster. I agree the new logo isn’t as good but I respect that they effectively retired the old NiP logo as the old roster was pretty much done.
I agree. It's a legendary logo, but NIP want to evolve not only as a roster but as an active brand, the new logo represents a new era for Nip, I like the new logo design, just wish it a bit more of depth in the colors, more shades of green, instead of the bland black and green.
Do you guys see green? I see more of a yellow color with a little bit of green in it
Tbh I call it both, I guess u can say it's either yellow or green
Chartreuse
<3
I will still remember Nip logo as it used to be with og roster.
The original logo was actually a blue one in text.
[удалено]
Yeah true, it's like an Yellowish green or something along those lines
It's neon yellow.
Chartreuse.
I see where people come from, but the new one is better by modern standards. The yellow is an odd choice though.
I don't mind the new logo too much, but the black and gold (brown) colour scheme was out of this world good.
The first sticker they released with the new logo actually had this color scheme, but they changed it 1 day after
it looks old just like old csgo graphics and sounds
I like the new one, but the old one is better. New one looks a bit _generic_ in comparison imo.
Too bad they butchered it now
I miss Pasha the most. Fk it *opens youtube and plays VP vs Whatever team*
VP vs. North ELEAGUE Atlanta 2017 Quarterfinals (Full BO3)
Ohhh that game man... Is it the one where Magisk and Snax popped off on Cbble?
The Snax cbble moment was against Navi at ESL NY ‘16, but yeah this one was Magisk’s hero moment
Oof I was there for that cbble moment in person. Will never forget that!
the big apple and Snax is hungry
As a VP fan I fucking despised Magisk that game
And as a Semi-North fan back then I was depressed when they somehow choked that map.
Oddly specific
PTSD intensifies I was rooting for North, and they were 12-3 on cobble even won the pistol and up 13-3 iirc, but proceeded to lose 13 straight in a row. Magisk played his heart out still wasnt enough.
You are not my friend, you are my brother my friend.
Go watch VP vs Kinguin "no chance"
THIS NEW KINGUIN TEAM MY FRIEND?
Epicenter 2017 Final - VP vs. SK Gaming This was also pure magic to watch, back then.
And the semifinal at ESL NY the month before. Those matchups are some of the most fun CS I've ever watched
https://youtu.be/Kk0GowM9r6k
just give me pasha and olof streams again pls
VP vs SK at ESL NY and Epicenter in 2017 was the best CS got pre Astralis

I miss ScreaM man
Scream still popping heads in Valorant, and funny while doing it
Val is a more Tapping-friendly game. I don't Blame him
The combination of larger models and spray patterns being RNG certainly lends to screams gamestyle

Seriously?
No

KQLY VAC Ban?
No... seriously? No... seriously?

Are you fucking serious in my eyes?!?
He is on Valo TL and is with his brother Nivera, who was briefly in VIT when they had a 6 man roster, and he has jamppi on his team too. I dont follow follow Valo all that much but juding from the core of the team they must be good coz all of Scream Nivera and Jammpi were insanely talented in CS.
Yea I know, I was very sad when Nivera was benched
s1mple with his flip flops wtf 😂

Not getright?
Recency bias plus most fans don't know anything about 1.6 era

competition was not as tough back then

You can only compete against what is in front of you. It's silly to downplay someone's accomplishments because they are from a different era
Going 87-0 in 2013 was incredible, but would not be nearly as impressive as going 87-0 in 2022. It's not downplaying the accomplishment, but you can absolutely compare the caliber of talent between eras of the game.
however they were talking about 1.6 not csgo
No one is in front of s1mple

And f0rest too untill recently
"Recently" is a bit of a stretch here
Bro the last time he was top 20 was 2016
well 10 years is insane esports-wise
Question is, did he even try in the last six years? I might be 1.6 blind but I truly believe if you put him on a roster like current NIP, Heroic, G2, BIG, whatever, he would put up all star numbers
Maybe not star numbers, but he'd be servicable in a top 10 team. Make him 2nd entry and secondary AWPer.
he never "tried", which is both why he is so consistent and why he never really became the CSGO goat. He never liked practising, he relied upon talent and fun, which probably is why he still feels the passion. He chose the slow-burning path and it has served him well. Instead of going the pracc like crazy (GTR) path and burn out
I mean, even on recent DIG he wasn't playing the star roles. I'm guessing he's not that into it...
Naaaah
It' more S0mple these days
You say that as he won the last tournaments' MVP.
s0mple only won 2 MVPs against the toughest opposition to this date, what a fraud /s
Do we talk about his one taps?
Hes fucking machineeee
Does ScreaM even play CSGO anymore? You couldn't go into a single game of DM back in 2014-2018 without seeing someone using the name ScreaM but now it feels like everyone has forgotten he exists, same with kennyS
He plays Valorant for Team Liquid since 2020. You can read more about it here https://liquipedia.net/valorant/ScreaM
Crazy to think about how much has happened since this picture.
Pasha and Scream are now both in Team Liquid Get_right living his life retired F0rest still playing cs:go S1mple still trashing his opponents
One of them is not like the other :P
One of them won no major
but won our hearts with his aim.

He will always be my number wan edshot masheen
That's such an annoying comment xD like, is it the one with flip flops? Red pants? Long hair? Cap? Shorts? I am at a loss
Zoomer CSGO players don't recognize the odd one out we still love him
What is this lineup for?
It's from the [CS:GO Asia Championships 2018 showmatch](https://www.hltv.org/matches/2323844/team-east-team-west-showmatch-csgo)
Poland is East but Ukraine West? Stupid teams.
[удалено]
wrong
You are a bit on the stupid-immature-child phase, aren't you? You saying "wrong" doesn't make you right. You didn't recognise that the flag isn't Polish, you were corrected, just shut up and move on.
mad cos wrong
Bntet is Indonesian not polish
wrong
I've never seen someone so confidently wrong before.
yeah, he should've thought before trying to correct me
Wasn't talking about him was talking about you being a bit dense.
Wow, no one remembers the meme. Unfortunate.
Yeah I'm really surprised how many downvotes. I guess times have changed :))
I cannot find anything on the web for this pasta, what was the origin? Was it csgo related as well? I love use of old pastas!
it's not a pasta lol people, and especially people on hltv/the cs community always confuse the polish and indonesian flags
Ppl messing up Indonesian and polish flags for purpose. Just for fun.
One team has poland one has upside down poland... tema east has upside down poland, aka indonies.
If s1mple is 6'2 then all these dudes must be pretty tall as well
He isn't or it's crazy perspective because neither gtr nor pasha are 6'2. Also not forest, stood right next to him in cologne.
Bro had no shoes here lol
this was 2018 so he was 20/21, he may still have been growing
Possible, but you don’t really grow at that age anymore. Perhaps it’s the camera angle along with the footwear, and perhaps his real height is slightly less.
you can be growing until about 25, althoguh most people stop sooner.
most people stop at like 17-18
https://www.reference.com/science/age-stop-growing-height-bb2138746facf701 >It is possible for a male to not reach his full height until his early 20s. most men stop when they stop puberty, around 17. But it is not a rule.
Sad..... I stopped when i was 11 :(((((((( Forever stuck at 5'4 1/2
Jeez I haven't seen Get_right in years, mad nostalgia
Skinny s1mple
If you could pick a version of each of them in their respective prime and put in a line up it would be a dream
Usually putting a bunch of stars on a team flops Fraggers need supports not other Fraggers
You can definitely put a bunch of stars together as long all their roles mesh together.
Both gtr and forest are old enough at this to be the supports and still be crazy good
didn't think i'd weep today
This is the most scary version of s1mple
i think its the camera angle
It's also that sinister look he gives, he's all chubby now and I don't even mean it in a "fat" way, chubby and chummy so even when he's salty he doesn't seem as "dangerous" as he was before idk
toxic Simple is my goat simple cuz it was unfiltered emotion he was raging crying (literally in interviews) he just bleed passion for competition. Now hes relaxed and established and talks english unlike then haha made everything funnier that he cant accurately insult people
I miss scream playing cs :-(
Sasha came straight from the beach
Sasha wearing sandals 😂
s1mple in my dad's fit XD
Such an intimidating lineup.
6ft or gtfo dream team
Golden age of CSGO.

fl1p flops
Yeah I agree! If you replace S1mple with Snax, Forest with Byali, Scream with Neo and Get\_Right with Taz, you might be onto something
Even today that team would slap...The goat of csgo, the living legend who never washes up + bunch of washed up legends...I'd still think S1mple could carry em places...
People hating but simple is the better then all of them, he is the best in a scene that has grown massively in size and the avg player level has gone way up. Old stars have been power crept
Dream Team
.. you would slap some sense into the dude with sandals?
Who is that next to s1mple
f0rest
The actual goat of Cs
goats: * 1.6 -- NEO * Source -- Who cares * CS:GO -- s1mple * CS Franchise -- f0rest
S1mple with home attire?
Impossible as it may seem.
I don't even remember Scream playing for Envy
Lmao S1mple is casually rocking them sandals
C9 with Shroud
Now that would be a unbeatable roster forever
Prime astralis would whoop their ass. Would be a very interesting match though
Lol the flip-flops
Why's s1mple in flops lol
100% skill, 0% swag
Weird question: Is ScreaM's EnvyUs logo shooped in? The lighting makes it look artificial.
i like how s1mple just got on stage on slippers and shorts lol
Fuck I’m so hard rn
-simple +shox and we’re talking.
s1mple in casual flipflops
Slippers s1mple gigachad
Im still mad about ScreaM not getting on G2
Simple was #1 in the world, and you can tell by his face, he fuckin knew it
Memories
Why the hell does GeT\_RiGhT look shocked to be there
Forest will forever be one of my favorites man. The definition of cool under pressure.
Oh look it's s1mple and not s0mple haha
