I mean he isnt that wrong, how many people know who win for example Kato 2018 but most fans knows all major winners and with winning major you are getting medal in game.

Man, he’s throwing his boy niko under the bus with that statement.
LeBronsLilBro
That was so fcking braindead take 😀
Geologist-Wise
Horrible take, Vitality has already made history

And what irritates me the most is how he constantly throws in “right?” after every take. Like bro, what do you mean “right?” We’re not agreeing with you.
He really says it like he’s dropping truth bombs or something, bro thinks he’s cooking with these takes. 💀💀💀
Rage_101
YNk is the kind of guy who could say this and call Niko the GOAT in the same sentence.
Proofreding
How many of you consider Liquid 2019 anywhere near the GOAT team?
TheBowThief
he’s right and the community pretending like it’s ridiculous is stupid. the major is and always will be THE tournament. the true testament to your greatness and enshrines you in history.
yes this run is spectacular and even without a major win it will be looked at as one of the highest peaks a team has achieved EVER, but without a major then what was it all for? you really care about winning 6/7 blast/esl events in a row and not the major?
i bet if you asked the players if they’d rather have the streak or a major win they would all tell you they’d rather have a major.

Every trophy matters—that’s what sets CS esports apart from others, and it’s the best part. In League of Legends, you can be hot garbage all year long, but if you win Worlds, you suddenly become the “most successful team.” What a joke of a system! Don’t you dare apply your League of Legends logic to CS. In CS, every trophy, every championship run carries weight. what he said is a disrespect to CS esports and every single person who dedicates their life to this scene.
extremz123
This streak is impressive but they really need the major to make it an era and be remember as such if not this will be on the same level of dennis fnatic and liquid streaks
Waveeeee
I guess Gambit was a better team than the Vitality of today.
Context is everything and, as it stands, Vitality of today is the most dominant team of all time.
hipsnarky
People still talk about NiP 87-0 despite no major until cologne 2014.
Bit tacky to say people won’t remember Vitality current run with ropz
terrytw
I mean if you listen to everything he says it’s not that crazy.

I think the streak goes a long way for making this Vitality memorable and significant. Had they won all these trophies but didn’t have the super impressive win streak, I think I’d agree with YNk. We’d speak about this lineup in a similar way we talk about the grand slam Liquid roster. But the streak is there, in addition to winning big tournaments, with all of their top competition attending.
But winning a Major is important. It’s the pinnacle of the game, the most prestigious trophy, the one we define eras by. The biggest pressure there is.
I wouldn’t go quite as far as YNk does here, these tournament wins do matter even if Vitality fail to win the Major, but winning the Major is crucial to solidify yourself in the history of the game.
There’s still a long way to go for them before we can talk about them dethroning Australis as the most consistently dominant team to ever play this game.
puutarhatrilogia
To any Vitality fan reading and getting into arguments over this kind of talk, I’ll just say: Relax, sit back and enjoy the ride. You’re supporting a team that has won six trophies in a row and the ESL Grand Slam. Less than a month from now you’ll probably get to watch them lift the Major trophy as well. There is absolutely no need to pre-emptively defend them from a narrative that is only even a slight bit relevant if Vitality don’t win the Major (which is unlikely). The results speak for themselves, nobody and no narrative can take those away from the team.
JeanneHusse
Bullshit.
The NiP 87-0 matters even tho no major was part of it.
robclancy
lol op got trigger’d over facts
Spare_Librarian_7358
It’s funny how the major has more weight for some people despite the presence of all those teams that have already been beaten. The Grand Slam is what matters, not the random wins (Outsiders, Navi)
brutam
The mental hurdle of winning the major brings a whole new type of pressure. That’s why it’s THE testament to having an era.
McClownd
Ynk says anything – Me: doesn’t matter, ynk said it.
Rumin4tion
People are missing the point that he was arguing against Pimp saying this is the first time we had a team that could potentially be better than the best team ever to play counter strike. He is absolutely right that they cannot be compared to prime Astralis until they win a major.
Sidnev
uhh yeah? zywoo or someone else on vita literally said that this is not some crazy take
rusty022
It’s fairly simple. To be the best in a sport, you have to win the biggest games. Who cares who wins LCK or LPL? It’s about who wins Worlds. That’s because part of how we judge greatness is by how you perform when the pressure is highest. Majors are the Super Bowl of Counter-Strike. You’re not an all-time great team without one.

He’s not wrong.
AmphibiousLizardman
Vitality fans getting butthurt over this whilst their own players have said the same thing in Melbourne lmfao
YukOneChoo
Jimmy must be really regretting not going to Falcons.
battlepassbattlepass
this is only a little more impressive than liquid 2019, i agree with ynk
yoavtrachtman
Correct me if I’m wrong, but didn’t they win a major in Paris?
k_means_clusterfuck
Who is YNk?
RobinVanPersi3
Shithouse take and you are all stupid for buying into it. 30 wins in a row against consistent T1 opposition is FAR harder to do than win a major, by orders of magnitude.
xh1bit
lol this is taken so out of context, it was in response to pimp’s ridiculous statement that they “might be better than prime astralis”
dogex3
they’re talking about being the best team EVER in counter strike, obviously Vitality would need to win the major to be in that conversation, I don’t see any controversy here.
LaS_flekzz

rodeBaksteen
The major is gonna be a problem because the pressure became insane because of this run.
They will fold because of this unfortunately.
SILVERG7
Not trying to jump on the bandwagon, but let’s be honest… we all know it’s true.
You can win every “Grand Slam” event or whatever flashy title they give it, but for better or worse, the Major is the one that sticks.
It’s the event every Counter-Strike fan remembers. It defines legacies.
britnaybitch
spinx made the best decision in his career. guess he loved silver more than gold. Notice how he takes off the medal immediately. He messed up when he chose to leave vitality
Ofiotaurus
So the best roster moves in history are +ropz and +ropz
simpsonstimetravel
I think until the major final is a bo5 it wont hold as much prestige to a casual viewer because you can more easily fluke your way through a bo3.
Also for a major final the viewer deserves as much entertainment as possible from the best teams.
