Overtime on Inferno - Weekly CS2 News

This week on Overtime on Inferno, Sam and Quacke are outraged by suggestions that Chopper is an underrated IGL, and you should be too. Our co-hosts set the record straight by breaking down the names that should really be considered in underrated debates.The rewriting of Chopper's legacy isn't the worst thing to happen this week though, as Valve have seemingly elected to give NA another Major, making it so that Europe won't host one until at least 2028. The boys discuss if this will harm the pro scene going forwards.Join the discord:https://discord.gg/X3jU4djxUK🎙️ Subscribe to the pod:https://readtldr.gg/podcast🗞️ Join +32K readers of our newsletter:https://readtldr.ggFollow your host and guests: https://twitter.com/AN1MOCS2https://x.com/quacke69Episode edited by: https://x.com/CharlinhoCSThumbnail Jazz by: https://twitter.com/jameshserpa 📌 Interested in advertising with us?

This week on Overtime on Inferno, Sam and Quacke dive into the early stages of PGL Singapore now that the Major race is finally over. To no one's surprise, it's looking like the first half of the Major is going to be a rough watch.Join the discord:https://discord.gg/X3jU4djxUK🎙️ Subscribe to the pod:https://readtldr.gg/podcast🗞️ Join +32K readers of our newsletter:https://readtldr.ggFollow your host and guests: https://twitter.com/AN1MOCS2https://x.com/quacke69Episode edited by: https://x.com/CharlinhoCSThumbnail Jazz by: https://twitter.com/jameshserpa 📌 Interested in advertising with us?

This week on Overtime on Inferno we have a very special guest , as the esports historian Thorin joins Sam to chat about the most headache inducing stories and teams in Counter-Strike.Fraudulence is definitely a running theme this episode. Spirit were a phony number one team, KRL tarnishes his reputation with an intentionally fake leak, and r1nkle is still larping as a professional player. What a shame.Join the discord:https://discord.gg/X3jU4djxUK🎙️ Subscribe to the pod:https://readtldr.gg/podcast🗞️ Join +32K readers of our newsletter:https://readtldr.ggFollow your host and guests: https://twitter.com/AN1MOCS2https://x.com/ThorinEpisode edited by: https://x.com/CharlinhoCSThumbnail Jazz by: https://twitter.com/jameshserpa 📌 Interested in advertising with us?

This week on Overtime on Inferno, Quacke is joined by special guest Btrams whilst Sam is on holiday. Btrams puts his tin foil hat on for us and questions HLTV's decision to award donk the BLAST Porto MVP, as it doesn't line up with their previous decision making on MVPs. It's also looking like cmtry is out of FUT after an especially poor BLAST Porto. As expected, Btrams has the stats to back up the decision to cut cmtry, and Quacke is glazing his potential replacement from the depths of tier-two CS.Join the discord:https://discord.gg/X3jU4djxUK🎙️ Subscribe to the pod:https://readtldr.gg/podcast🗞️ Join +32K readers of our newsletter:https://readtldr.ggFollow your host and guests: https://x.com/smartbackwardshttps://x.com/quacke69Thumbnail Jazz by: https://twitter.com/jameshserpa 📌 Interested in advertising with us?

This week on Overtime on Inferno, Sam gets back from EWC and puts Quacke's debating skills to the test as they discuss the Vitality era. Quacke believes their era is over, but Sam argues their recent failures will be forgotten if they return to winning ways at the end of the season. Why is Sam holding onto the idea of Vitality winning Singapore? Well, neither him or Quacke are best impressed with Falcons' and Spirit's lack of consistency this season. More cowardly podcasts may have changed their tune, but we are still firmly in the Hally out camp.Goo Deer: https://store.steampowered.com/app/4349210/Goo_Deer/Join the discord:https://discord.gg/X3jU4djxUK🎙️ Subscribe to the pod:https://readtldr.gg/podcast🗞️ Join +32K readers of our newsletter:https://readtldr.ggFollow your host and guests: https://twitter.com/AN1MOCS2https://x.com/quacke69Thumbnail Jazz by: https://twitter.com/jameshserpa 📌 Interested in advertising with us?

This week on Overtime on Inferno, Quacke is joined by Jack, who has already returned for the second time since his Overtime on Inferno retirement. Before getting into the latest on EWC, the two of them dissect ENC being delayed for a year, and Passion UA being the latest esports org to get exposed by Luis Mira.As far as the actual Counter-Strike goes, the EWC bracket is now finalised, and the bottom of the bracket is looking stacked with top teams. Well, at least to people with eyes and a functioning brain. Aizyesque reckons it's "relatively even", which is why he is our take of the week.Join the discord:https://discord.gg/X3jU4djxUK🎙️ Subscribe to the pod:https://readtldr.gg/podcast🗞️ Join +32K readers of our newsletter:https://readtldr.ggFollow your host and guests: https://x.com/quacke69https://twitter.com/novaHdesignThumbnail Jazz by: https://twitter.com/jameshserpa 📌 Interested in advertising with us?

This week on Overtime on Inferno, Sam and Quacke spend a large portion of the episode on the take of the week segment. In all fairness, unironically suggesting deko could replace sh1ro is quite outrageous.The EWC qualifiers also happened, and somehow, a blockbuster game between s1mple and dev1ce in the year 2026 featured in the later stages of the LAN. Sam and Quacke discuss the two teams and settle the debate on which roster will be more successful.

This week on Overtime on Inferno, Sam and Quacke dig into all the results from BLAST Bounty, as well as what is likely to be the last pieces of roster news before the season truly begins at EWC.One man that isn't safe this episode is Hally. Sam has questioned his position as head coach a few times in the past on this show, but now there's actually evidence of what Spirit can play like without him...Join the discord:https://discord.gg/X3jU4djxUK🎙️ Subscribe to the pod:https://readtldr.gg/podcast🗞️ Join +32K readers of our newsletter:https://readtldr.ggFollow your host and guests: https://twitter.com/AN1MOCS2https://x.com/quacke69 Thumbnail Jazz by: https://twitter.com/jameshserpa 📌 Interested in advertising with us?

This week on Overtime on Inferno, we try to avoid talking about BLAST Bounty for as long as possible. To the surprise of no one, online CS still sucks.Mini-games are back with another edition of TLDR tenable, and we also create our free agent dream teams. Though none of the rosters we built could ever compete with this new Liquid team led by JT. Yes, you heard us right, Liquid genuinely look fantastic right now.Join the discord:https://discord.gg/X3jU4djxUK🎙️ Subscribe to the pod:https://readtldr.gg/podcast🗞️ Join +32K readers of our newsletter:https://readtldr.ggFollow your host and guests: https://twitter.com/AN1MOCS2https://x.com/quacke69 Thumbnail Jazz by: https://twitter.com/jameshserpa 📌 Interested in advertising with us?

This week on overtime on inferno, Sam and Quacke are joined by special guest spray. He might be the brightest Counter-Strike mind we've ever had on this podcast, so drink it in and enjoy.One thing that isn't particularly bright though, is NIP's 2026 so far. As the ex-assistant coach, spray offers his insights regarding NIP's roster changes, leadership, and future as a team. Luckily for you guys, we aren't evil, so we won't make you listen to an entire episode about NIP, as spray also stuck around to talk all things rostermania.Join the discord:https://discord.gg/X3jU4djxUK🎙️ Subscribe to the pod:https://readtldr.gg/podcast🗞️ Join +32K readers of our newsletter:https://readtldr.ggFollow your host and guests: https://twitter.com/AN1MOCS2https://x.com/quacke69 https://x.com/sprayxdCSEpisode edited by: https://x.com/CharlinhoCS Thumbnail Jazz by: https://twitter.com/jameshserpa 📌 Interested in advertising with us?
