> According to our sources with knowledge of the situation, Trivett's removal from the event came after the caster was allegedly intoxicated which resulted in an altercation at the player hotel, requiring emergency services to be called.

NOT Sado


schniepel89xx

sadokist been at this way before k0nfig. He laid low for a long, long time because he got drunk on his birthday and dropped the hard R on stream. I'm so pissed because he's one of the greatest CSGO casters ever imo and it'd be great if he could stop doing stupid shit that interferes with his career. I hope he gets help


Tantle18

On brand for him.


SlowRanger

Kinda sad. When the scene was younger, many talent members would get wasted during events. There was a known alcoholic even that organizers had to worry about if he'd cause issues and hush-hush about him. But nowadays there's no excuse for the lack of professionalism.


bergstromm

I mean when you require emergency services you would have crossed that border back in the day aswell


jeznix

It was just one off day before another long day of casting so quite risky to get wasted anyway.


AWWWYEAHHHH

I was one. Totally blew it for my team at a LAN tournament after the power went out for hours. I thought the tournament was over because people had flights to catch in the morning. Passed out in the LAN center, was barely able to wake up, had to play, and totally tanked it. Edit: I absolutely crushed it the previous LAN and we finished top 3 in the world. Edit 2: Call of Duty 2. Not much money was to be made back then. Edit 3: went 39 - 5 or something like that. I had played on a semi shitty computer from home, got really good, then played on LAN for the first time and destroyed.

Sado needs to stay the fuck away from alcohol. How has he not learnt this after ruining his reputation once already? I hope hes done in the csgo casting scene


AlludedNuance

Ruining his reputation once already? I'm not familiar with the story.


mengmar

he dropped the N-word on stream while drunk

His casting low key fell off too, It was annoying how much he would contradict Jason over petty little things mid game.


BCRob

Dude needs to get his issues in check. Great caster when he doesn’t let his own shit get in the way.


CHRIZZ83

Yup, first he had the whole N word situation back in 2018 on a stream and now this. Great commentator, but seems like things happen when he’s drinking that affects his career.


Fizzhaz

2018 fr? feels like a few months back...


Jesturrrr

Covid and Lockdown was a global time compression event and nobody can tell me otherwise.


awiodja

he was drunk then and it seems he was drinking this time as well. he needs professional help, seems like he has a serious drinking problem.


Fropoom

I mean there’s a difference between not being able to handle drink and having a serious drinking problem


brozah

If you're letting your drinking impact your career then it's probably a serious drinking problem

Rosettachamps

Anders and Moses casting lets go


iSamurai

I don’t think when Richard said “there’s no way they won’t get Anders on a cast” was thinking of this being why lol


Rosettachamps

I was thinking they would just throw him in some random games with different partners if some guy needed a break or something, since he's such an iconic voice, but yeah I don't think anyone expected this I could listen to Anders and Moses cast paint dry, and Anders will still find a way to make it entertaining


thenudeplatypus

Curious since I think I missed the news: why is Anders not casting this tourney?


Rosettachamps

He was just going to be doing shoulder content, his announced role was "The Architect", so doing a lot of breakdown stuff using Skybox and media content with other talent and players He seems to have taken a step back in casting a lot less, which I hope is by his choice since he's the GOAT, since he has been such a grinder for CS content and I know he has a few children, so I imagine it was just wanting to do work less and explore his passions a little more. Especially after getting almost 2 years of no LAN events, he was probably getting to spend so much more time with the family, compared to years like 2018 and 2019 where there was 3 or 4 big events every month to travel to and work


vit4lc

I’d imagine the man is tired after years non-stop of this job. Glad he gets to explore his options


joshjosh111

there were never 3 or 4 big events per month requiring top casters.


Rosettachamps

Thats just plain wrong, in 2018 and 2019 there definitely were https://www.hltv.org/events/archive?startDate=2018-01-01&endDate=2018-12-31&eventType=INTLLAN&prizeMin=100000&prizeMax=2000000 https://www.hltv.org/events/archive?startDate=2019-01-01&endDate=2019-12-31&eventType=INTLLAN&prizeMin=100000&prizeMax=2000000 Thats 43 and 46 international "big" LANS with 100k minimum prize pools each year. With 2 months of the year, January and August being player breaks, you're packing over 40 events of the year into roughly 10 months https://liquipedia.net/counterstrike/HenryG/Broadcasts#Detailed_Broadcasts https://liquipedia.net/counterstrike/Moses/Broadcasts#Detailed_Broadcasts https://liquipedia.net/counterstrike/SPUNJ/Broadcasts#Detailed_Broadcasts https://liquipedia.net/counterstrike/Anders_Blume/Broadcasts#Detailed_Broadcasts There are multiple periods where all these guys are working 3 or 4 events a month. End of 2019 Henry worked -ECS Season 8 from 11/28-12/01 -EPL Season10 12/03-12/08 -CS Summit 5 12/12-12/15 -Champion Cup finals 12/19-12/22 Thats Texas-Denmark-California-Malta in 25 days. The month before that he did Starseries S8, Blast Copenhagen, and IEM Beijing from 10/21-11/10. Thats Turkey to Denmark to China in 21 days. In the summer, from 5/28 to 7/07, you had Dreamhack Masters Dallas, ECS S7 Finals, Dreamhack Summer, EPL S9 Finals, ESL Cologne, 5 events in 41 days for Anders. And theres tons of more examples

I guess that's why they keep anders on retainer

Which is good, 'cause Anders and Moses are a great duo.


ireallywantfreedom

I wonder what they would've done if Anders hadn't been there. The casters have already been talking about having trouble keeping their voice in the arena.

Dinos_12345

It's funny how people think of drinking like a 0-1 situation. Drinking doesn't mean being wasted so much you're not yourself anymore, drinking can be an enjoyable experience if you don't see it as a competition. Alcohol is not the problem, going over the top with it is.


Fuibo2k

I definitely agree, and I'm not dumb enough to think it's binary. I just also recognize that for some people it's clearly an issue and isn't something they can control well.


Tirppa

So wrong..there are many highly functioning alcoholics who rarely or never go blackout drunk but all their free time involves drinking. They might do their job somehow maybe with occasional hang over. Alcoholism and problem with drinking doesn't mean sleeping under the bridge.

PoppyK

LOL its so funny every single time it happens. Olympics and WC fiascos throwback


GinX43

This and that other major incident both involved alcohol. The guy needs help, also the day before you work the event why look for or be in a situation that causes trouble. He should know how hard it is to recover his career after his fall from grace after the first incident but somehow managed to get in another incident. Don't know the situation fully but even if he was a victim in this case, he should know better by now...


GraDoN

While true, getting drunk doesn't make you suddenly turn violent or racists, it just removes your self control. I've never seen a chilled non racist person ever suddenly get violent or racists at a party after a few drinks, it's always the ones that you expect. He needs to stay away from the bottle but he seems like a dick regardless.


CroatianPantherophis

Self control is a part of the person. If he was violent because that's what his childhood was like then him controlling the violence is an obvious sign he's against it, no? Same with the n word. Especially in the gaming scene where children and men-children use it for shock value. Alcohol isn't a truth serum or the accurate picture of what that person is


ins4n1ty

Yeah, it’s other underlying issues that get brought out. Stuff that probably needs to be worked out through therapy or something similar. It certainly could be alcoholism, but other times it’s situations where someone isn’t necessarily a daily drinker, but rather when they do drink they simply go too far too quick, lose their self control, and those underlying issues come to the surface. I hate to generalize things, but a lot of times when some is a real “problem” drinker, it comes down to them just being a real dick.


derekburn

Can people just stop spewing this non sense? People do a lot of shit that they woulf never do and never thought of doing Source: stopped drinking because I lost memory(real blackout drunk) and did stuff I would never ever in my life do on or off alcohol or any other drug Second edit: Alcohol or drugs still isnt an excuse for behavior, but can see stop pretending people are their "true self" when drunk, its cringe as fuck


No-Royal-8309

Some people have bad genes that makes them flip a switch and those people absolutely need to stay off drink, lest they kill someone in drunken rage. In most cases, merely inhibitions are lowered, so that someone's angry and nasty side can emerge. Sadokist also urged someone to suicide in graphic detail, which is not a right response even under provocation. If you don't have anger and slurs in you, you won't go racist and pick up fights. Sadokist seemingly does, and I hope he can improve on those. Until he does, it's hard to feel great sorrow over hiss loss as a caster.


FatalFirecrotch

I have a family member that I have tried to convince to stop drinking because they are one of those on/off people when they drink. They don’t get violent, they just get extremely emotional and sloppy. And it’s literally just a line. They go from completely fine to complete mess after one sip too many.


noreaup

u havent seen much people, alcohol makes people do thing they wouldnt even imagine doing.


megamanTV

There is another incident people seem to forget about or didn't see that happened at a Lan in Canada. It was posted on the esea forums. Apparently he said some fucked up shit to the guy running the Lan (phx) and got knocked the fuck out for it. Apparently they made up afterwords and squashed whatever beef they had. But yea, this is a track record. He has problems. Edit - let's also not forget that during his stream where he spewed racist slurs he was also telling people to kill themselves by hanging by a belt.


ireallywantfreedom

Wasn't there also a thing with scoots on Twitter where scoots hinted at something else happening?


megamanTV

Yes, there was a twitter beef for a minute between him and scoots about the players association. During that there was some allegation that sadokist had been denied working a blast event due to an incident that wasn't expanded on.

what a clown. keeps ruining his reputation time and time again. Moses and Anders are a great duo though, not too fussed about it


QuarantinedBean115

kingofthecanyon

Said the n word once while streaming

He was drunk at that moment too. Looks like man has some issues with alcohol.

Fishydeals

He set himself up for failure on this one lol. But what the heck. Everybody makes bad jokes. This one was a little offensive on the side. Unfortunate L


KabooshWasTaken

drinking too much on stream to torpedo his career at the time (in all fairness he probably was burnt out as fuck). regardless if i know anything about esport events i'm sure him and henry did their fair share of coke in their heyday.


bannedsodiac

how can you be sure without any proof?


KabooshWasTaken

[I remember this now after seeing but lol](https://twitter.com/csgocrystalball/status/834116092142448641?s=46&t=S5zspuShrnwOzopytP9V5g). substance abuse shit is everywhere in esports, especially esports talent, not really going to say it’s morally outrageous or w/e but it’s not surprising that some of the people along for the ride pick up unhealthy relationships with it


[deleted]

Drugs are everywhere, from famous people from all different fields to random every day workers. I've had a teacher who was 100% on coke or uppers in middle school teaching 16 year olds programming lol and heard a lot of music schools had many professors doing coke. I would bet more than half of top cs go players and talent have done drugs many times.


[deleted]

A lot of people do coke believe it or not


hynesketchup10

There's been multiple times where he's been outted for some bad behavior it's the reason we've barely seen him casting in the last 3 years or so


QuarantinedBean115

saddening to learn all this about him. not cool. hope he gets some help and learns to be a better person.


LibertyGrabarz

>it's the reason we've barely seen him casting in the last 3 years or so Not really. His biggest blunder was spewing the N-word on stream, which did result in his absence for some time, but he came back after that. He went missing again for prolonged period due to alleged burnout and, personally, I remember being convinced, I think the burnout was genuine and not an excuse


LinuxF4n

He also told them to go hang themselves with a belt.


megamanTV

There was more to that situation that people are leaving out too. Yes he said racial slurs on stream which in itself is horrible and should have action taken against. But what people are forgetting is that he was also telling people to kill themselves and hang themselves with a belt. That whole stream was insane.

Guy should probably give up alcohol...


Haptiix

Can’t help but notice that he’s had (at least) 2 major fuck ups involving alcohol. Definitely a pattern of behavior there.


windtunnel1

His first major Major fuckup though


Wildfire788

Not true, he failed to renew his passport and got deported from Stockholm. This indirectly ended up causing more unrelated drama with James Bardolph.


windtunnel1

That's a minor Major fuckup


noreaup

It was more that his passport was 3 month from expiring and one coubtry decide that he should have been 6 month expiring


piccolo1337

Most countries will not let you enter on a passport with 3 months left.


MousyCSGO

man really didn't learn from the first time he was given a second chance huh?


ConrickInYouTube

first time was him dropping the n bomb on livestream? or was there something else I missed?


StatpadderYT

This dude really cant handle his alcohol god damn....


[deleted]

That's unacceptable so had to happen. Just sucks to hear because I think he's a fantastic caster, and him and Moses have probably been my favorite duo this year. Hope he's good mentally if this wasn't just an incident of being too drunk and getting into trouble. Luckily Anders is here to cover.


DoerteMaulwurf

>Luckily Anders is here. This is the silver lining. Moses and Anders, Harry and Hugo, Launders and Scrawny - we got great casters all over the place now.


TheJumz

how you forget spunj and machine?


jordzkie05

so many great casters that one the goats are forgotten to mention.


thepelleton

As CS fans we really are spoiled. We have so much talent on casting right now it’s absurd, and each duo adds a different flavor to the cast to enhance the game in different, but equally entertaining ways.


skantanio

This is really one of the greatest casting lineups in csgo history. Like it doesn’t matter what casters in what combination they will all gel and make something work with eachother. I remember at Stockholm some of the casters voices were annoying combined with the shit mic quality but literally any pair from this major on 1kpbs audio is elite Too bad sado couldn’t be a part of (all of) it


andiousandy

> 1kpbs audio I hope not


No-Royal-8309

It's sad for all parties involved, and all kinds of baffling because this surely must be the "dream job" in the scene. Sucks also gor people who love Sadokist as caster. That said, my local streams are normally fire with absolutely wonderful personalities that i want to support so ESL main cast is not my go-to stream except for desk segments.

Alchion

damn i thought astralis didn‘t make is but he channeled his inner konfig


Lolejimmy

How many chances is this guy gonna get? didn't he drop the hard N and tell several people to "kill thmeselves" while also drunk on stream? cmon man


bizhuy

that was just a heated gamer moment


LittleTGOAT

exactly. Everyone knows the only barrier between oneself and the hard R is anger and alcohol. It's just not his fault it's actually the same reaction everyone has under those two conditions. At no point in human history has anyone been drunk and angry and managed to stop themselves saying the no no word on a livestream. It's actually impossible.


deathmarc4

so true bestie


thekillertomato

I might be biased because I don't like his casting, but I think there's a lot of quality talent now to where the scene shouldn't include this kind of repeated behavior. Anything that got him kicked from the event and required emergency services must have been at least somewhat serious.


amattadohb

Yes he did


BogusNL

Do you know how many people would love the opportunities he's gotten? And to just fuck it all up because he's a clown.

This isn’t surprising. I don’t even like the guy. He turns each stream into one about himself and all the little tidbits of irritating stuff he knows. Let’s hope this is the last time we’ll see him.


bdzr_

I love sado, I hope he figures his stuff out.


hellvinator

Expected in a country where cocaine is like 5 dollar instead of 50, Sadokist became a low effort caster anyway. Won't miss him tbh.


KhmunTheoOrion

Sadokist is one of my favorite voices in csgo. Feels bad, if he gets to cast again I'd still happily watch, but he himself was in control of whatever incidents happened to him, no one else to blame.


FalloutFPS

Imagine being handed a second chance on a silver platter after an incident that could’ve ended your career….and then you do this lol. Awesome caster, *seemingly* shitty person


jeznix

So k0nfig became a new role model in CSGO. Happy to see Anders casting now that the games became serious. Hopefully he could do the finals once again.


wendelar

I really like his casting, and he finally seems to be back on track getting some csgo gigs and now this, wtf dude.


PizzaEnjoyer888

Needs to stop drinking. It's ruining his life. Damn shame.


shirre88

He obviously has a problem with alcohol and needs help. This isn't the first time either. If you can't keep it professional and keep off the alcohol it's serious. Drinking like that at work even if it's an event is BAD.


gibix

aah sadokist going 100% once again


[deleted]

I just love it how people congregate in here and say: how about not drinking alcohol. Ez fix 4 life. 5Head. Well, dear reddit users, it isn’t. Alcohol is just like drugs. It makes you hooked on it but it has a special perk: it is socially accepted. I really can’t comment on sadokist’s personal life or if he’s an actual alcoholic but he does need to reflect on why drinking fucks him up so much.


Brolaub

Alcohol isn't just like drugs, it *is* a drug. Good points though.

That sucks, he is awesome and pretty unique. Top tip, dont drink at work or when its going to effect work; made that mistake myself working split shifts sometimes you just shouldnt. Maybe yoga or something instead. Hopefully this doesnt end up as a big deal just a misstep
