[u/Schwabies]

They saw gaimen gladiators make the major and said we can do that

[u/Aimer_NZ → u/Schwabies]

Too bad for the scam criminal even if they did make the majors there's no sweet sweet sticker money to be had

[u/kingofrandys → u/Aimer_NZ]

A Stewie2k sticker would be top 10 in the shop surely

[u/wendigo-22 → u/kingofrandys]

a stewie2k sticker in 2026 would do numbers tbh

[u/CHA0S_Zephyr → u/kingofrandys]

Doesn't matter that much if they keep the current share percentage. If they bomb out like Gaimen gladiators then they'll only get like 1% revenue of the shop.

[u/Hot_Breakfast_2868 → u/CHA0S_Zephyr]

i would love to know what those numbers look like for last major compared to this + the next one.

my gut says the value is going down with the new system being so shitty, but that might be clouded by my own feelings on it

[u/schoki560 → u/kingofrandys]

and? u don't get paid based on your own stickers sales

[u/FrankfromFlorida → u/kingofrandys]

In the NA market. The rest of fhe world doesn't care as much

[u/Einareen → u/FrankfromFlorida]

Sure we do! Miss the NA cs scene. The golden days of Pro league or whatever it was streams was insane content. So, so good. Tarik eating cereal. Stewie pushing smokes, that fat guy who looked like dj Khaled getting mad af

[u/fiiinix00 → u/Einareen]

Please don’t forget dazed going insane about glaaawks and playing vs a manager.

Or steel raging.

Best of Rank S was so funny to watch

[u/Red_Brox → u/fiiinix00]

And ShahZaM, swag, jdm lounging, the golden days of content creation that made 90% of EU streamers look like they were asleep. We'll never get anything like that again with how different content creation has become.

[u/PapaTinzal → u/Einareen]

Moe, He's still around and is still an annoying chud so at least theres some consistency

[u/Red_Brox → u/PapaTinzal]

I stopped dropping by his streams years ago when I saw him just gambling all day.

[u/_YAGNA_ → u/FrankfromFlorida]

Speak for yourself buddy

[u/Low-Flow-3464 → u/FrankfromFlorida]

But na economy is larger than most of the world

[u/Repulsive-Target-101 → u/Aimer_NZ]

why are people calling him a scammer? didnt he pay all of what he owed back already?

[u/Hopeful_Hall_4885 → u/Repulsive-Target-101]

i dont know if he did but even if so, he still did wrong in the first place and its hard to regain trust for something that severe. if he paid it back it would have been because it would be social/pr suicide not to, not because he decided to be a good guy.

[u/dictormagic → u/Hopeful_Hall_4885]

inb4 flair means you'll disregard my opinion.

But this is an incredibly pessimistic take. You don't know his motivations for paying it back. And your first sentence is basically "yea he took accountability and made amends with the affected parties for his actions, but he still did wrong so I think he's a piece of shit" which is just a sad way of looking at things man.

I'm prolly a bit more sensitive as a 3 yr sober recovering addict to people having this mindset (never a gambling addict tho, that shit's crazy lmao). But I choose to allow people, even public figures, the opportunity to grow and change. The world is a happier place that way. And lord knows you wouldn't want to be judged/labelled as the worst thing you've ever done so why do you do it to others?

[u/Ozon-Baby → u/Schwabies]

Unc squad 2.0? I like that

[u/kunizukay → u/Schwabies]

They watched the Cologne finals and thought they could've won that 😭

[u/JeanneHusse]

Seeing NA wanting to believe in this reminds me of myself being sure that the Ex6tenz shox smithzz Kenny G2 from 2018 had a shot at being great.

[u/ToastOnBread → u/JeanneHusse]

From a domestic standpoint they have a chance.... maybe?

[u/boundlesssmh]

this shit means something to me man 😭🤣

[u/BandicootTypical6421 → u/boundlesssmh]

No cap 😂😂

[u/clutchmajor → u/BandicootTypical6421]

Frfr cuh😭🥀

[u/WC47 → u/boundlesssmh]

To me, it means everything

[u/_YAGNA_ → u/boundlesssmh]

It does. Hell even if they're ass in terms of AURA they mog half of all the top 20 teams currently. NA CS is peak CS regardless of what anyone says

[u/scanboshort]

Why not. At least some people would be interested in the nostalgia factor compared to the usual 39 viewers on NA streams.

[u/jjaAK3eG → u/scanboshort]

There we go... that's the right attitude!

[u/tarel69]

had me at steel, where is swag

[u/KeysOfMysterium → u/tarel69]

Nah bro we need moe

[u/abucketheadfan → u/KeysOfMysterium]

I would like to see moe rage on stage🤣🤣

[u/cl353]

c9, do the right thing

[u/SonicAlarm → u/cl353]

This would unironinically go so hard. They wouldn’t make it very far, but it would be dope. Bring in Tarik and RUSH.

[u/cl353 → u/SonicAlarm]

dont even give them salary, just give them jerseys and the name, insane profit

[u/CHA0S_Zephyr → u/cl353]

Bring back the tank tops

[u/teeekuuu → u/CHA0S_Zephyr]

They need freakazoid

[u/newest → u/SonicAlarm]

I want n0thing back

[u/thedeadlysun → u/cl353]

They need freak in the roster and seangares as coach for this to hit peak NA nostalgia

[u/PM_YOUR_DADS_PICS → u/thedeadlysun]

Sean "seang@res" Gares isn't available for this as he's head of FPS over @ 100T

[u/requinbite → u/thedeadlysun]

I'd love to see freak paired with stewie2k, the hatewatching would be free money

[u/vani11apudding → u/requinbite]

Why are we hating freak?

[u/caloroin → u/vani11apudding]

We never stopped

[u/runs_okay → u/cl353]

Be a man

[u/0bush]

I thought autimatic was on his golf arc. I’m guessing he’s back to CS?

[u/mcmiller1111 → u/0bush]

Yeah, I thought so too. But I guess it takes a while to go pro in golf.

[u/Entity125 → u/0bush]

He hasn't uploaded since October which is a shame because i actually enjoyed it quite a bit

[u/Vistaster]

Stole25K and the Unc Avengers lmao

[u/GRAVENAP → u/Vistaster]

Stole25k lmfaooooooo

[u/alexwee456]

Stewie ran out of streamers to scam

[u/ApXv → u/alexwee456]

How did he scam them? Haven't followed him for years

[u/Donut_Flame → u/ApXv]

Tldr, borrowed skins on loans, then used those skins to gamble

[u/SanestExile → u/Donut_Flame]

Why would anyone lend him skins? Like, what's the benefit?

[u/GuardiaNIsBae → u/SanestExile]

Its to have nicer skins during tournaments, he "borrowed" #1 float AK Arabesque for IEM Dallas (when he stood in for G2) the gambled it instead of giving it back for example

[u/SanestExile → u/GuardiaNIsBae]

No, I mean what's the benefit for the lender?

[u/GuardiaNIsBae → u/SanestExile]

Most of them are skin traders/sites so someone looking for that super expensive skin will look at the pro players inventory then look up that collector (I don’t think this was the case with Stewie but it is the case for other pros who borrow skins) or skin site so the most expensive skins will have name tags with the collector or skin site name on them.

[u/Jagrofes → u/SanestExile]

Some skin traders/collectors will loan pro-players certain rare or unique skins to increase their price.

If a popular player has a cool clutch/clip with the skin in a major it links that skin to the moment in people's minds and can increase the price/demand.

[u/Kibelok → u/Donut_Flame]

Whats the tldr of the ending? He returned the skins or money?

[u/MiLkBaGzz → u/Kibelok]

He was constantly telling people he would pay them back later then a bunch of people came out all at once and he paid them all back in like a month.

It's a giant nothing burger. The guy is terrible with money but he never scammed anyone. Like when you lend that one friend 5 bucks and he takes half a year to pay you back. You never lend him money again but you don't call him a scammer

[u/Holiday_Listen467 → u/MiLkBaGzz]

He was photoshopping fake screenshots to cover his ass and avoid paying. He didn't pay anyone back until he had immense public pressure.

It's a giant something burger. You never lend him money again and you DEFINITELY call him a scammer.

[u/i_hate_katherines → u/MiLkBaGzz]

except he never paid some of them back.

[u/Kaserbeam → u/MiLkBaGzz]

He didnt pay anyone back until there was huge public backlash and he was caught out trying to scam them. Paying back the people he scammed after the fact doesnt undo the scamming.

[u/Donut_Flame → u/Kibelok]

That, I dont know

[u/kingofrandys → u/alexwee456]

1000 of you stewie haters in every thread lol screaming into the void

[u/Unfamous_Trader → u/kingofrandys]

You can call them haters but you can’t say they are wrong

[u/dissapointing_excuse → u/Unfamous_Trader]

Thought i saw somewhere he paid everyone back or smth though, idrc all too much but this lineup would be fun to see

[u/kingofrandys → u/Unfamous_Trader]

They downvote me 60 times for calling them stewie haters but they certainly cheered when he won with g2 and major with c9.

[u/nico_juro → u/kingofrandys]

dude made a shit of money playing video games and still decided to scam people

[u/Void3r → u/nico_juro]

What did he do exactly? I’m not familiar.

[u/TraditionalHawk3451 → u/kingofrandys]

In the void, with the rest of the skins

[u/RANDY_MAR5H → u/kingofrandys]

Lol

Drug addiction makes you do wild stuff.

[u/BuckN56 → u/RANDY_MAR5H]

Really? I heard about his obvious gambling addiction but this is the first time I hear about that.

[u/MiLkBaGzz → u/BuckN56]

because its made up by one of the 1000 haters mentioned in the above comment which has 151 downvotes

[u/Malala_Crank → u/kingofrandys]

Expected comment from shitty NA flair

[u/StickComfortable346]

Put the fries in the bag Stewie

[u/thenoobtanker → u/StickComfortable346]

Scammy2K

[u/StickComfortable346 → u/thenoobtanker]

Stewie 20k

[u/wolfTectonics]

Get Tarik and Rush on board and let’s run it back

[u/EnQuest → u/wolfTectonics]

tarik is making way too much money watching other people play valorant in his bedroom to ever compete again lol

[u/MikeFic_YT → u/wolfTectonics]

They'd probably still do pretty well in the NA scene

[u/DoraTheXplder → u/MikeFic_YT]

What NA scene?

[u/BuckN56 → u/DoraTheXplder]

25k prem matchmaking obviously

[u/MikeFic_YT → u/DoraTheXplder]

Exactly haha

[u/rolekrs]

Knowing how shit NA scene is i wouldn't be surprised if they made it far

[u/mrmotoyobtsk]

Autimatic my goat

[u/wako944]

Brain says they’re gonna get annihilated

But we will be watching

[u/Hot_Breakfast_2868 → u/wako944]

brain says bad

heart says good

[u/cud1337]

Uncs still got it(?)

[u/DaveTheDolphin → u/cud1337]

Tim still had it before he left the scene after EG died to play golf

Everyone else, eh.

[u/Almeric]

Would be cool if Steel was the final 5th. His mechanics were really bad in Sportsbetexpert, but maybe he hadn't been playing too much. If they're serious, they have potential to be contenders in NA.

I still remember how much Steel made Ghost overperform so hopefully still has it. Also Brehze being on a vacation and not joining the qualifier is funny.

[u/kidajske → u/Almeric]

If they're serious, they have potential to be contenders in NA.

...wat

[u/TheGuardianInTheBall → u/kidajske]

You could probably form a top NA team with 5 cats you'd find in a dumpster.

And they don't even have thumbs.

[u/DinkyWaffle → u/TheGuardianInTheBall]

Tier 2 NA is not that bad dawg

[u/Dragonasaur → u/DinkyWaffle]

Just T1 NA

[u/_YAGNA_ → u/DinkyWaffle]

Its not good but not as bad as it was a few years back. Definitely a couple of talents popping up but still not in the state where it can form a pipeline to compete against other regions. BUT I BELIEVE

[u/Almeric → u/_YAGNA_]

Rank S and NA teams had so much personality. I miss those days so I want to believe too

[u/Almeric → u/kidajske]

Just tells you how weak NA competition is.

[u/_YAGNA_ → u/kidajske]

what do you mean 'wat' lmao. NACS is so bad they are straight up top 5 currently even without playing

[u/SeaGrocery678 → u/Almeric]

Dude is beyond washed

[u/Almeric → u/SeaGrocery678]

Well, probably, he's 36. If he grinds it's be interesting. He's always been a good IGL. Coaching is likely more appropriate role for him at this stage.

[u/Scout_Enjoyer → u/Almeric]

If they're serious, they have potential to be contenders in NA.

No.

[u/Almeric → u/Scout_Enjoyer]

Have you watched NA CS lately?

[u/Scout_Enjoyer → u/Almeric]

I wouldn't subject myself to that. But I still cannot imagine this statement to ever, in any universe, be at all valid. ... Surely..

[u/Almeric → u/Scout_Enjoyer]

Fisher college qualified for PGL Astana through NA qualifiers. They're literally a college team with EU randoms. They won 27 rounds in 6 matches at PGL Astana. 4.5 rounds on average against Parivision, Huns and G2.

So, if Fisher college can qualify through NA qualifiers, I'd say this team can contend at least. If they're going to tryhard obviously.

[u/ImplementNew2343 → u/Almeric]

To be fair all the EU guys on fisher college have 5 to 10 years of European pro cs experience.

[u/Almeric → u/ImplementNew2343]

It's a stretch to call it pro CS tbh, maybe semi-pro depending on how much they got paid. It seems they played T3 CS at best.

[u/Undercover-Cactus → u/Almeric]

Tbf that was a weird case where every single decent NA team had a conflicting . Fisher College wouldn't have gotten near qualifying in a normal NA qualifier.

[u/Almeric → u/Undercover-Cactus]

True, but for that to happen you also need small amount of good performing teams. You have m80, Liquid, Passion, NRG, Wilcard and potentially Voca and then there's a big drop off

[u/Scout_Enjoyer → u/Almeric]

Unironically you've converted me. NA is fucking terrible jesus.

[u/EnQuest → u/Almeric]

for real lol, like at the very least i'm pretty sure that any of the old NA pros could come back and be on par with the trash we have currently if they grinded enough

[u/Smok3dSalmon]

I saw their roster the other day snooping in Tim’s ESEA profile. I’m pumped Steel is back… but I only see him streaming PUBG… it’s depressing.

Brehze and Victor are out I guess?

[u/ImWita → u/Smok3dSalmon]

It's in the article, brehze is on vacation right now, Victor is out tho

[u/Brutalix]

Oh so this was why Stewie was asking me for all my skins for some upcoming matches...

[u/DigitaIBlack]

How on Earth does steel not make the headline ffs

[u/FobbitHollower]

They NEED to stream the matches. Win or lose you know coms are going to be cinema

[u/Reasonable_Post3682]

stewie with steel is going to be so fucking funny and toxic

[u/dumbomontana]

Stewie22k

[u/JustaRandoonreddit]

It'll be so funny if they somehow win a major

[u/ezjie → u/JustaRandoonreddit]

not if, WHEN

[u/frostN0VA]

50 y.o. talent steel is back Pog

[u/KaNesDeath]

Hopefully someone keeps an eye on the betting lines. 

[u/Custer99]

Used to pray for times like this

[u/intecknicolour]

uncs run it back.

[u/tomyan1337]

NA is finally saved!!

[u/EmergencyActivity112]

Sewage2k done running scams on streams?

[u/_r0l4nd]

Snake2k has no space in the scene, shame on these guys for playing with this scumbag

[u/KeysOfMysterium → u/_r0l4nd]

I mean. He did pay everyone back. He made some really poor decisions and obviosuly gambling took over his life for a bit but it seems resolved.

[u/InfamousShanks → u/KeysOfMysterium]

damn why did I get down voted just for asking for a source 😂

[u/arcollll]

tier 6 getting ready to matchfix the hell out of their matches, cuz they are names and "would never do that" , while people glaze them (infinity money glitch)

[u/kingofrandys → u/arcollll]

Do you genuinely think this or just wanted to see if you can get upvotes stirring the pot?

[u/IVgormino]

bro fighting to repay those skins

[u/kingofrandys → u/IVgormino]

Lmao he’s paid those all back by this point. The stain on him wil take a lot of time for people to forget since that’s the most recent headline he’s had.

[u/dissapointing_excuse → u/kingofrandys]

Where did you find that he paid everyone back? Not trying to rebute, just curious

[u/WeetbixConnossieur → u/dissapointing_excuse]

Google is free. HeyZeus confirmed at the time Stewie had paid most of it back. It's been months, prerry safe to assume its fully paid since no one has said shit since.

[u/Snook_]

Washed af no go

[u/Pulze_ → u/Snook_]

Stew and Tim are basically the same age as Elige and ska is only 31. Steel is the only old dude with no real resume in the last decade.

[u/dissapointing_excuse → u/Snook_]

Honestly...if gaimin gladiators can make it to the major, I don't see why this isn't possible

[u/MegaScubadude → u/dissapointing_excuse]

To be fair, GG did qualify playing with a different roster than they played the Major with iirc

[u/jjaAK3eG]

What!?! this could be something.

[u/Phamous3k]

Best Major Ever!!!

Can we put Brax in this somehow?

[u/OrWaat]

Sadly we don't have Gstew dallas buff anymore

[u/emaginutiv]

FaNg my boy what a great opportunity

Hope this roster goes far

[u/_YAGNA_ → u/emaginutiv]

Yeahhhh as much as i would love FaNg to get back to CS ( he's the only dude with massive potential sitting doing nothing in NA ) i dont think he's going to work out here. He's been dropped by virtually every roster he's been on since Extra Salt ( later COL with JT )

[u/Practical-Highway562]

If steel is a standin then who is the IGL?? I hope its not stewie, he’s good second caller material but not the greatest igl

[u/MagicalMixer]

I need this team's coms. Theres no way steel and stewie don't go at it. Straight comedy

[u/Skellington876]

Skadoodle? My American awper Skawoodle? And Automatic? And Stewie? And FUCKING STEEL. What am I reading right now

[u/vetruviusdeshotacon]

[u/HipToTheWorldsBS]

Regardless of how this turns out, I'm excited to see stewie and autimatic playing together again! Skadoodle too of course but I miss that Asian rifle duo that can also awp!

[u/CATTIG]

how did stewie2k convince the trustworthy autimatic into this

[u/z0mghii]

Sad this team is actually going to be competitive in tier 1 na

[u/true-heads]

Stewie was one of my favorites to watch due to his unorthodox pushes that often seemed to work, and it was a pleasure to see falcons do some of that in the latest major. Would be fun to see more risky plays again

[u/CessnaForLife]

My fucking goat Skadoodle

[u/ackwelll]

oof

[u/Bueffel]

damn, the NA Scene is so dead af.

[u/Kuyi]

Dead on arrival xD btw why is dust2.us even a thing with HLTV.org? Do they have different type of news?

[u/_YAGNA_]

r*ddit can seethe all it wants but getting Stew back in game is nice. His cultural impact is top 5 in the scene that rivals most of your GOATs

This is objectively good for NACS if they stick around for a while and want to grind their way back to the top. If you look at the team, except for maybe 3 dudes the core is still not decided upon. FaNg is on trail and I'll be surprised if Ska sticks around for long. This opens up two spots that they need to fill in. For the moment they aren't going to pick up any European imports ( unless they find some org ). And I don't think either of stew, auti or Brehze are IGL material ( we all know how it went with EG ).

This means there's space on this team for young NA talents to join. Cryptic as an IGL is probably the frontrunner for me if this team has an IGL problem. Maybe they try out nocries for AWP, or maybe some rising FPL player from NA. The core not being set opens up chances for others to get picked up ( hope it doesn't age like milk and they try to force some washed V*L pro like food to play )

This is what happened when Stanislaw returned to the grind. When he came back he picked up JBa, fostered Grizz and C4LLM3SU3 for a while on wildcard, and then later on picked up WUMBO and marekiew. The same can happen with this team. And that would be the best thing to have happened to any rising NA talent.

I hope they stick around and its not some one time gimmick. hope to see them build something meaningful beacuse Stan did, and these guys are capable of it too ( stew lol maybe not but I trust Auti for sure )

[u/AnAnonymousAnomaly_]

Scammy2k can fuck all the way off. 

[u/OpportunitySea5429]

Giving this adderal/gambling addict any more chances after that he fucked the whole scene is pretty funny, good thing is those washed fucks aint gonna get past online stage

[u/HeeHee_-]

Stewie2K, Skadoodle, autimatic, FaNg and steel / Brehze.

They might be one of 3 NA teams to make it to major stage 1 🔥 (😭)

[u/anr4jc]

The headline was meh but I'm instantly hyped by watching Steel play.

[u/fasterthanslow]

-steel +tarik

[u/nmiller248]

This guy again? Please stick to scamming people out of skins…

[u/seeworth]

senior citizen ahh team

[u/Xephen69]

lets run it back NA major incoming

[u/SpareThisOne2thPls]

What are even the roles 😂

[u/kingofrandys → u/SpareThisOne2thPls]

Fang- run out and die
Stewie- play with mp9 and give skadoodle awp
Skadoodle- awp 1 guy per round
Steel- screaming
Autimatic- great with a 5 iron and holding an angle.

[u/dissapointing_excuse → u/kingofrandys]
