You know what's ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ hard? Watching the team you want to succeed go on a honeymoon period when they deadass look unstoppable, then rain gets sick and they bomb out of epicenter, then they lose to SK in pro league finals in the most devastating way, then your heart almost stops on Mirage, then they lose overpass which you could think was one of their best maps, and then when you have a matchpoint in the major finals, karrigan decides to do some mental gymnastics and fake several rounds in a row with 30 seconds left on the clock. Then your favourite team loses in overtime and you cry all night. Then you think, well, perhaps C9 really are good, but no, lineup falls apart in a couple of months after becoming the first NA team to win a major. You're left with PTSD of FaZe losing after having a decent round gap and a matchpoint for the rest of your life. But no, FaZe are actually good, except they choke hard as ♥♥♥♥ in thr playoffs and fnatic use their CZs better than ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ AKs. Then your favourite player goes on a break and your team has to play with a bunch of standins, which is even harder to watch because with stand-ins, they at least win some ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ tournaments, which is great, don't get me wrong, but it's a pain to see your team winning in Sydney and Belo Horizonte with Xizt and Cromen instead of Olof. Then NiKo grabs the reins in the middle of the tournament and you lose your bloody IGL. Then you play with AdreN and NEO. You think to yourself, can it get even more bloody dire, but wait, you get a young gun in broky and a star in baitzera, and things are actually going pretty good, you win some blasts, everything is fine. And then online era ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ hits like a truck, every match is unpredictable, your favourite player hits the rock bottom, gets flamed on Reddit, Thorin makes a video about Olof being bad, so he takes another break. Then your favourite team gets ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ Shakebye. Holy hell I can't ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ bear it, not gonna lie, it's impossible to watch when you dislike 2 out of 5 players. In the end, FaZe turned into a massive ego-pleasing of NiKo. I thought with acquiring Twistzz and karrigan and kicking NiKo, baitzera and YNk the chemistry would be better, which it may be, and sometimes even Olof plays like a bloody monster, but in the end, every time FaZe start to look good, there's a team that is more than good. SK, Astralis, NaVi, you name it, the kryptonite, the real top 1 team. And FaZe keeps getting clowned on by twitch chat and hltv, everybody still keeps the star roster thing in mind like ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ s1mple plays here or something. And now the boys lose their chance at the major? I won't really cheer for any team other than FaZe, but it's so hard to beat that taking a break from watching CS is for the good.
