But the basics continue, cause the lineup is the same
WHAT'S UP EVERYBODY?!
Pass it for the volley
-What's up guys, my name is Cold.
-And I'm Taco.
And today we are going to answer some fan's questions while playing some soccer.
Let's do this.
-Can you want to let me go now?
-Yeah sure, let's start this.
(Which lineups could give a lot of work this year?)
(Which lineups could give a lot of work this year?)
What's up Arthur Oliveira, doing good?
The line ups that are going to give us trouble this is year, in my opinion, is Liquid.
They're a very strong team with very good players.
They already had a strong team last year.
But communication is key and it changes a lot of stuff.
They will be pretty good with Stewie.
Astralis is still a rock in everybody's shoes, aswell.
In my opinion those will be the two toughest teams this year.
(When will be the first game with the new line up?)
The first game with the new line up, Laura?
Will be at the Major, the IEM Katowice Major, we're going to travel.
I believe at the end of february.
(Are you guys going to change the way of playing, positions and IGL, or are you going to keep the same line as SK?)
-''carvalhowisk''
-Carvalho Whisky?
What's up Carvalho Whisky, nice name!
Our formation will practically stay the same from SK's, our way of playing.
But with some additions, Taco and Zews came from an american team.
So they have a lot to add to our team.
We also added some of that american style together, so we can mix up both styles.
The foundation is still the same, the formation...
The formation is still the same, nothing much to change.
It will basically be the same as SK but with a few additions.
(How many ice cold cane juices MIBR will need to bring the Major?)
What's up Campos do Jordão, that's an awesome city right there, just kidding.
So, only two will do the job.
Two for each one, very cold and that's it.
Get it?
Pause, pause!
Fer will be so mad at me, I'm wearing his socks.
(What are the tournament rules? Can you bring your .cfg's, monitors?)
What's up Matsushiro, is that correct?
Sounds like some kind of food.
What's the name of that soup?
-Miso soup.
-Missoshiro, missoshiro.
Okay, so, on the tournaments...
You can only bring your equipments.
The configs are sent before, so there's no risk of cheating.
They'll analyze everything on the configs.
The computers are provided by them, we only go there, play, and bring our equipments back.
(What's your training routine like?)
What's up, Lucas Daniel.
Alright, bro.
So, our training routine, for the tournaments.
Basically...
Depends on where we're at.
If it's a bootcamp at Europe, which we're going to do for the Major.
It's a more heavy routine.
We usually have a time to wake up.
A time for lunch, and after lunch we start with practice.
We start with a tactical practice, which takes about one hour.
After that we begin with the practical training against other teams, online.
We practice the tactics, everything we've discussed before.
We try it, save what works out.
If it doesn't we basically discard it.
So, after practice...
We are free to do whatever we want but we usually just stay at the computer.
That way we can practice individually, which is very important, playing some deathmatch...
-Get some headshots.
-Yes, get some headshots so we can have a sharp aim.
And we do the same thing the next day, that's basically our routine.
We do theoretical practice, then practical training and then individual training.
That's basically it.
(How are the expectations for the new era and how is the reencounter with the roster?)
What's up Gonçalo JAC, it's always good to come back and communicate in portuguese, playing with people you like.
I think this team has a lot to offer this year, we are...
Giving our best this year so we can take this title.
I think last year was bad for both sides.
As for Taco and Zews and for us.
So we got back together, back with the roster.
And we're going to take everything this year, our expectations is to always win every tournament.
We're going to deserve it.
(In your opinion, which team and player is the most difficult to beat in the current scene.)
What's up Junior Ribeiro, the most difficult team today is Astralis.
They've dominated 2018.
It's a very consistent team, they're very good individually.
That makes them the team to beat at the moment.
I would say Astralis.
(How does Cold feels being 10th on the 2018 ranking while he was 1st at 2017?)
What's up, Mister John.
Dude, being in the 10th position isn't a bad thing.
Even if we had a bad year, it stills...
Is a good position to be at.
Seeing that we didn't win any big tournaments.
We've made four finals max.
Three, I don't remenber.
With all that we can say it was a good year.
It was a year that, even with the situations...
Even though we were at bad situations...
I still pulled throught and managed to play a good game.
(Which investment someone needs to do at the start of a pro player career?)
What's up Maycon, the investment bascially is...
Hardware, you'll need a good keyboard, a good mouse, a mousepad and a good PC.
I would say a PC is the most important.
A good monitor is very important too.
After that you'll go to your gear, a mouse is important, headsets.
Extremally important
It's nice to have a good keyboard, but it's not a priority.
Mousepad is the same thing so...
That's basically it.
Or you can do something that is really trending right now.
Which are CS:GO classes.
Today we have a lot of chew down materials that you can watch on the internet.
And you have your private courses.
There is mine with Cold's, that have a lot of interesting stuff.
In case you have some money to spare and invest.
-To learn...
-In the old days you had to struggle, right Taco?
In our days we didn't have any of that, we had to learn through experience.
We arrived here on the US, practiced with teams here and  copied their tendencies.
And we got better.
Today is more chewed down if you want to learn.
(To which point do you think the gear influences on the player's skill?)
Henrique Rios, to which point?
Well it interferes a lot...
On the mouse you can adjust the sensitivity and the DPI.
So it helps your aim control and your game sense.
That keyboard helps too, but as Taco said it's not a priority and I agree.
You'll get a good keyboard for the response time.
And comfort.
In the hand.
The mousepad...
I have a different opinion then Taco's, I think it plays a bigger role.
I've played with a lot of mousepads, so...
I suffer a bit with it because I like to play with speed mousepads.
It gives you more agility as my mouse sensitivity is low.
It makes a big difference.
The headset is the most important part because with it you can listen to the game, the footsteps.
Grenades and stuff.
Also a good mic so you can communicate.
So, yeah, your gear interferes a lot on your gameplay.
If you're planning to spend your money on some gear to become a pro player.
I recommend you  to spend money on the gear itself than the PC.
(What was the hardest thing you had to go through to get to where you are now?)
Hey Iago, I think the biggest difficulty we had was...
Right at the start, when we had to leave Brazil for something that wasn't certain.
CS was not a game to make money.
It wasn't famous, we never imagined that CS...
Would take us to where we are now, you know?
It's a profitable game for a pro player.
There is high salaries, big sponsers.
A lot of fans who are dedicated to the game.
So the hardest thing, for example I had to...
Cold also, both of us...
At the beggining I had to drop out of college.
And a college degree is a safe thing to have today.
Studying will always be the safer way.
So I was at a college, had to drop out.
Moved to the US blindly.
I believed in the project and it worked out.
I think that was the hardest thing.
But it actually wasn't that hard.
When you like what you do, when you're surrounded by people you like and believe.
It makes things easier.
That for me was the hardest but it was okay.
(How does it feels like to represent millions of peoples at the Major?)
What's up Marcos 25.
Well the feeling is amazing.
When we become someone's idol it's an amazing feeling.
I never...
Thought when I started playing CS that it would become what it is in my life.
A lot of people today, when we're inside the stadium.
And they start to cry, or...
Someone goes crazy when he sees you.
There's no words for us to describe becoming an idol for someone.
Seeing how we make a impact in someone's life.
I wanted to say thanks.
(What makes you never give up?)
What makes you never give up is loving what you do.
Represent people.
People expect a lot from us and what we least want...
Is to disappoint these people that expect from us.
And there is a lot of people who depends on us.
People who works from behind, you guys have no idea.
So...
The more we work, the more we dedicate ourselfs, the more we win, people's lifes get better.
Could be sponsers or people that work on the organization.
It could be a fan that sees his favourite team winning and...
It just makes him happier.
Could be us representing our country.
Which is a big responsibilty but it's amazing.
When you get a taste of what winning feels like, which we did.
So we want to feel it more and more, we don't want any less.
We won't accept it.
That's what makes me go on.
Because the taste of winning is too good.
It's the best feeling in the world, winning, being the best.
best feeling ever...
And everything I said before.
It's bascially what makes us never giving up.
(What was the most emotional title you've ever won together?)
What's up Dudu Altmann.
The most emotional title for sure was MLG Columbus.
We had came in second for a while, what was it Taco, two or three?
-I think it was four even.
-Yeah we came second in about three or four tournaments.
So the feeling of winning our first title, a world title.
Was amazing and made a big part in that.
That's why it was our most emotional tournament.
It was a tournament that we could finally say ''We did it''.
(What's the best and worst thing about living with your teammates?)
The best thing
Is that you're always with someone
Usually I like to have people around me
And here I have a lot of people around me
So it's really cool, and specially cause they are great people
It makes a difference you living with
With 5 people that you like, or to live with
2 that you don't like
It's a big difference and thank God I love all my teammates
We're friends, we talk about everything
So that makes a huge difference in my opinion
(In your opinion, what can get better/change at CS:GO?)
Lucas hdsz, what can get better or change at CS:GO?
Remove the AUG, it's overpowered.
There are players that only use that gun.
They're killing thirty guys when before they didn't kill ten.
So we need to remove the AUG, the Krieg or maybe elevate the price or downgrade the firepower.
The way it is it's changing everything about the meta.
People will stop using the Colt and only use the AUG and Krieg because it's too powerful.
They'll only play with the AUG or Krieg because it's overpowered.
That would be a change that I would do.
And bring back Cobble to remove Cache, in my opinion Cache is a map that...
People don't know what to do with it anymore.
It's getting repetitive and it's not a good map to have on the competitive.
I think that Valve should pay a soccer course to the players, we're too bad.
Out it in your head, I'm going to launch it.
You can answer
(How many trophies will we win this year?)
Chico we will win a lot of trophies
With Made in Brazil
We're going to represent
The whole South America
"Pero que si, pero que no"
So we want to win as much as possible, we won 8 the year before the last
Astralis won 10 last year
We want to win 12 this year
So I'd say the number is 12
Hope we get 12 trophies but the more the merrier
(Why do players play with the AUG instead of the M4?)
Igorsito you will watch the video, I just said the AUG is too strong
There's no reason to play with the Colt because
Even though it's still good
But the AUG, a close range shot it kills
To the head, the Colt doesn't
Not even counting its fire speed
Is too strong too
It's like twice the speed of the Colt
So if you spray close range with the Colt
And you do the same with the AUG
The AUG kills way faster
Even if you just shoot the body
That's why people are playing a lot with the AUG
That's why I'm playing it too
(Can I stop being worried about heart problems this year?)
- No
- No
- Hire a cardiologist
- Cardiologist, oxygen bottles
Execute with 10 seconds, planting with 4 seconds left
In a 5v5
And if you think that's bad, we'll ask Valve to even reduce the time
*Joking*
So we good? Assist me for the volley!
That's it guys, thank you for watching, hope you liked it
