WHY FURIA HAD THE WORST FAIL IN CS2 MAJOR HISTORY

About this episode

The hosts discuss fan hot takes and the future of Counter-Strike while dismantling a viewer suggestion about game formats.

Close out the year with the final 2025 episode of Hot Take Point Made as Thorin, kassad, and Mauisnake go off on fan hot takes, Counter-Strike’s best IGLs, and the future of CS talent. The boys start by absolutely dismantling a viewer suggestion to play the “decider” map first in best-of-threes, using it as a springboard to talk about MR12, series pacing, and why format changes aren’t the solution.
