Did The MongolZ just DERAIL Asian Counter-Strike? | Snake & Banter (ft fl0m)

Thorin and Mauisnake bring back fl0m to break down why The MongolZ losing Senzu and mzinho could gut Asian Counter-Strike's relevance for good. This week on Snake & Banter, Thorin and Mauisnake are joined by returning guest fl0m to dig into the roster fallout at The MongolZ, where the losses of Senzu and mzinho have the crew debating whether Asian CS survives as a relevant region. From there the conversation swings through FaZe's continued unraveling around broky, Team Liquid finally cutting ties with ultimate after two years, and why fl0m thinks North American Counter-Strike has no real pathway forward. Plus: ash lands at Aurora, G2 benches SunPayus, and the crew weighs in on FL4MUS's contract purgatory at Virtus.pro. Topics covered: ⦁ Can Asian Counter-Strike survive The MongolZ losing Senzu? ⦁ Is FaZe's broky finished after years of hiding a struggling roster? ⦁ Why did Team Liquid give ultimate two full years before cutting him? ⦁ Is the VRS system responsible for the best major ever? ⦁ Can ash finally build a contender now that he has Aurora's roster? ⦁ Is there any real pathway forward for North American Counter-Strike? ⦁ Why is G2 benching SunPayus for r1nkle right now? ⦁ Is FL4MUS stuck in career purgatory at Virtus.pro?
