Xantares on arena games: “Dude, how come we get booed in every arena? We went to Kazakhstan, a friendly country [for Turks], and they only supported the opponent [MongolZ and Astralis]. We went to Dallas, we went on stage, boos again… My Turkish friends, we really need you in these arenas.”

    I guess there are not many turkish CS fans outside of Turkey. Wonder why they get booed though.

  2. PsychologicalPea3583

    hah Xantares need to open Twitch chat for the support, the only place that Turks are strong.

  3. lame_birdd

    Victim mentality?? What about Spirit who get booed at every stage in someway. Still they play well and won trophies and a Major (against crowd fav Faze).

    They had fans at EPL 20 and yeah those fans were annoying as fuck

    They seems like nice people, in France we absolutely love MAJ3R, everytime he goes on french broadcast or does french related media, he’s genuinely one of the most wholesome person in the scene.
    But, the fans on social media are probably the worst, and not only for Esport, even in Football, this is beyond bantering and often abuse/insults/lack of respect instead of having friendly banter.
    This is why the view of Turkish people might be diminished, it’s not about them

  6. I was surprised at how much they were booed at dallas, there was one guy doing a thumbs down as they came out to the arena lmao

    well it’s a bit unfair but I think people just don’t really like aurora as much as mongolz because of the fanbase.

    pimp made a harmless tweet saying he liked eternal fire more than Aurora.

    5 minutes later atleast 5 Turkish fans commented some batshit insane stuff on his tweet mentioning stuff like “r*ping his mother, fucking his mother” and many other weird phrases

  8. Turkish players have a reputation for cheating more than any other nation in Europe. I’ve met a lot of random people in Premier who don’t like Turkish people because they just assume cheats immediately. I don’t think it’s fair, but I have noticed it.

    we need to get over this, donk is just 17 yrs old and all of katowice were booing them but he still find a way to win somehow. yes i know its not easy but we need to find a way. also i know our fanbase is insufferable but what it has to do with players.

    Turkish teams were involved in dozens of ‘incidents’ over the years in which they blamed for cheating pretty much every team that beat them online, and then their fans would start harassing those opponents for months. They are similar to Brazilian or Russian fans, and none of those are liked outside of their own country. Unlucky mentality I guess.

    Because Turkish fans are the most batshit trash on earth regardless of it being football, counter-strike or anything else.

  12. TheN1njTurtl3

    Honestly the turkish fans probably make it hard to root for lots of people to root for this team, people often want to root for the underdog and not side with the fanbase that sends death threats to people/ constantly harass everyone. If you took someone that completely didn’t know anything about cs they would likely side against aurora for this reason I reckon.

  13. Sw4ggeroni

    Maybe they just cheered against them because they were cheering for the Mongolz. I don’t think that the crowd hated them.

  14. That’s because turkish fans are the worst.  apEX said in interview that he gets death threat from turks. You guys need to learn how to behave

  15. Tbh their vibe are pretty bad. They look they are always against everyone. Xantares looks like Penguin from Batman series. Lol

  16. RandomCitizen_16

    Turkish people are barely making ends meet. So yeah, there won’t be a Turkish crowd in any arena. Better embrace the hate instead of wishing something that never gonna happen.

  17. ZmeulZmeilor

    It’s not them, it’s their fans. I was listening to “Talking Counter” podcast and SPUNJ was saying that after he tweeted something about Aurora, he got a lot of hate from the turkish fans. Quoting SPUNJ, the tweet was:

    “Sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but we can only have three teams from group B in the play-offs.”

    He goes on to say that his tweet was not meant be a jab at Aurora, but the turkish fans were very upset. One of them said that he was gonna f*** SPUNJ’s mother in the ass.

  18. Sea-You-1119

    Well what positives come to mind when you think of Turkey? Besides Turkish coffee that is (which is excellent)

  19. funserious1

    his “turkish friends” are the reason everyone is booing them and he doesn’t even realize xD

  20. Eddie_Hollywood

    It’s simple

    Every person who has ever been on the same team with players from Turkey will boo every single Turkish player from that moment on; it only takes one game

  21. Reasonable_Post3682

    Turkish fans vs Brazilian fans compete for the worst community in cs

  22. SnooDoughnuts506

    Support from turkish gays 🇹🇷 🏳️‍⚧️ 🏳️‍🌈!!!!!

  23. Former_Print7043

    I did notice they are not as popular as other teams but part of that is how you interact with the english speaking world. Majer is the one who interacts the most and seems like good dude and well liked.

    Mongolz got that ‘young kids fresh to the scene’ underdog vibe going on which appeals to many.

  24. maybe if you were more vocal about your fans being only beaten by Brazilians as the worst fanbase in the scene? idk just a thought

  25. kalaninja

    Terrorists sympathisers islamist extremist country? let’s say I am not surprised!

  26. HairyNutsack69

    Dawg it’s not great to be associated with Erdogan rn.

  27. Cool-Traffic-8357

    The thing is, nobody else wants turks in the crowd
