Only 1 in 13 of Spirit's flashes leads to a kill on average, the worst rate in the world 📊😬 Over the last three months, Spirit rank 48th out of the 48 HLTV teams compared for flashbang effectiveness. For comparison: Vitality's apEX gets a flash assist once every 5 ROUNDS. Spirit's sh1ro gets one every 14 ROUNDS.

OverDrive wants NiKo and zonic out of Falcons and blames NiKo for playing how he wants, not how the team needs ‼️ "NiKo is the boss, he plays how he wants, not how the team needs, and in defeat everyone except him will be to blame. I've long said that NiKo and zonic need to be removed (karrigan will be removed anyway), but the incompetent Falcons leadership will never think of that."

Boombl4 told zorte to buy the AWP right after a crucial miss, and zorte answered with the ace that put BETBOOM on match point against Liquid ‼️ "Before this round, I missed a crucial shot on B site, but I think it's just a game moment. You just don't need to focus on negative emotions... Boombl4 called me to buy an AWP, but I could just Drop an AK-47 and rifle. But I think he's just a captain, believing or something like that... I just bought the AWP, and somehow it worked, actually." via HLTV

iM gives w0nderful the credit for NAVI's Inferno win over Falcons at IEM Beijing, and says the team are joking that he's in his Prime ‼️ "On Inferno, we were like four kids in w0nderful's backpack. ... He's a beast, we are joking with him that he's in his Prime." via HLTV

zorte got his way back to tier-1 because BETBOOM couldn't get visas, a month after nafany and groove brought him into TDK ‼️ "A year ago I couldn't even imagine that this was possible. ... nafany and groove invited me to play for TDK. I played for a month and realized that I want to play. I decided to stay, and then by some miracle... BETBOOM didn't get visas, I was just invited, and everything somehow came together. And here I am. You just have to do what you truly want in this life, from the heart, and progress will definitely come."

kyousuke is Falcons' bottleneck, signed for the hype and not the fit, per Richard Lewis ‼️ "I think [kyousuke is] the bottleneck. I think he has ultimately been bigged up by [the] community... Falcons didn't sign him because he was a good fit. On the contrary, he was a bad fit... He's got good raw attributes, but he might be one of the dumbest, most talented players I've ever seen... kyousuke makes terrible decisions all of the time. It costs Falcons ROUNDS." via Last Free Nation on YouTube

Spirit are the only team at Pro League that the ESL broadcast would rather keep off the couch, per Dinko ‼️ "They avoid interviews. Spirit are... we hate doing Spirit on media day, because it's like, "Oh shit, we have to talk to Spirit on media day." They're not going to give us anything. They're going to go, "No, yes, no." ... In fact, Spirit are the only team at Pro League where we're like, we'd rather just not have them join us on the couch, because they don't want to be there and we're not going to get anything." via Feed the Trolls on YouTube

FURIA's missing ESL shuttle looks like payback for playing PGL Bucharest to Thorin, who doubts it would ever happen to Falcons ‼️ "Here's why I don't buy that this is just a one-off random one [and] it has nothing to do with reprisals for FURIA for PGL. ... So all I would say is, I think if it was Falcons, this would never happen. That's, I will just put it out there, I'm speculating, but my industry experience tells me that wouldn't happen to your beloved fucking Falcons." via Last Free Nation on YouTube
