The moment when
@sh1rocsgo
gets comfortable with his English (which will result in him participating in international broadcast content) - he'll become one of the most liked/loved players in the scene

2014 Cologne - first Major as the member of the audience
2021 Stockholm - first Major as an interviewer on an alternative language broadcast
2022 Rio - first Major as an interviewer on the main broadcast
Eu sou muito animada! ๐ง๐ท
I never really tell any personal information IRL or especially on social media, but I might seem a bit off during my trip to Cologne, so I feel like sharing this:
My grandmother passed away 9 days ago. And even though I saw it coming, itโs not something you can ever truly
One of these will be me after the Major Grand Final
If
@FaZeClan
wins - a happy Baltic gold coin owner ๐ช
If
@natusvincere
wins - a sad Baltic big brain with a diamond coin ๐
The population of Latvia ๐ฑ๐ป is 1,85 mil and we have two players (
@brokycs

) and two broadcast talents involved in
@ESLCS
Pro League S16.
So... ESL Riga Major when? ๐ค
Fact nr. 1:
I usually write my "what to pack" lists in ENG๐๏ธ
Fact nr. 2:
In Cyrillic "s" is spelled as "ั"๐
Result:
My trilingual brain wrote the 1st half of the word in Russian and the 2nd - in Englishโ๏ธ
So instead of packing "socks"๐งฆ
I'm apparently packing... "ัะพcks"๐คก
From 2019 until 2021 (3 years): 9 C-Tier broadcasts๐ฑ
In 2022 (1 year): 11 events, which include 3 B-Tier, 4 A-Tier and 4 S-Tier, one of which was a Major ๐
2022 was great and I hope that 2023 will be as good!๐ค
Today I've translated my first ever word from Brazilian to English LIVE on broadcast ๐ง๐ท->๐ฌ๐ง

Yesterday Latvia took 3rd place in Hockey and late at night the government announced that the next day (Monday) will be an official holiday ๐๐
So today Latvians gathered to celebrate the win :)
In 5 days
@eternalfiregg
played 25 intense maps๐คฏ
13.02: Major OQ1 - 3 BO1s
14.02: Major OQ1 - 2 BO1s and 1 BO3, then in the evening Major OQ2 - 3 BO1s
15.02: Major OQ2 - 4 BO1s and 1 BO3
16.02: CCT LAN 1 BO1, then Major CQ 2 BO1s
17.02: CCT LAN 2 BO3s, then Major CQ 1 BO1s
Really important for Eternal Fire's stamina to close this in two and have a bit of break before they play for a spot at the European RMR.
If they lose this Into the Breach match, they will end up having to play four series in the same day.

Mr.

has the chance to be voted as the best athlete in Latvia. Not often are esport players placed in the same Catagory as traditional athletes.
You can vote for him here ๐
Was really looking forward to get back to streaming,
but unfortunately my request to stream a watch party of
@ESLCS

Let's hope we'll get to do it for the next upcoming events! ๐
Local media wrote about
@yek1ndar
winning
@Flashpoint
and a few people in the comments try to downgrade the importance of his win by questioning his RL physical strength and abilities. Little do they know, that this guy has a black belt in taekwondo. Yekindar: 1 Pepegas: 0 ๐ช๐ฅณ
So, I am now done at the
#IEM
Rio Major, and itโs time to head home. Big shoutout to
@ESLCS
for another amazing experience. Beyond that, much love to all my friends that Iโve enjoyed spending the time with here. I feel very lucky. Here is to many, many more times like this. โ๐ผโค๏ธ
Ok, big question:
If
@CounterStrike
2 gets released this summer (which is after the
@BLASTPremier
Major) ...
What will happen to the 2nd Major of the year? Will it be CSGO or CS2? Is that why we have no information about the 2nd biggest event of 2023? ๐ค
3 years and 7 days ago they won the 2nd season of the Baltic eSports League. Today they are going to play a BO3 against each other to secure a 3-0 at the
@pglesports
Major. GL to

and
@brokycs
.
May the team with the best Latvian win! ๐ฑ๐ป

I know that there has been a big discussion on reddit and
@HLTVorg
forums, so I'm here to make it clear:
@Banjo_CSGO
, the 17 yo

acadeny player, is 195 cm tall ๐
Join me in wishing a warm welcome to
@Hency_Heccu
as she has officially joined the
@HLTVorg
team ๐
Heccu will be working primarily on video/interview content, and already has one event under her belt with Red Bull Flick
Results of that coming soonTM
Now i wonder: will the Americas RMR still use the Swiss format?
If only 5 teams go through, that means that only 3-0 and 3-1 teams will get the spots, so those that start with a 0:2 will be instantly out of the run (a 3:2 finish will land you outside of the top 5).
