Talking Counter: Episode 33 featuring G2 NiKo

Niko on a 3 hour podcast? This is gonna be an instant banger

I'm from Bosnia, so I'm probably biased, but this is hands down the best CS podcast I've ever listened to. I already knew a part of Niko's origin story since I was one of the kids attending those tournaments his parents hosted back in the day, but hearing it from him is even crazier, literally a child of CS. So happy he made it this big, and he's winning now with Hunter.

The reaction from Spunj after Niko said jks has a higher ceiling then Olof was so funny. Best part of the podcast for me.

Cool to see Niko on a podcast! Loving the video format guys keep it up!

All kinds of history being made recently. Perfect timing for this btw, covering almost half of my shift.

You took NiKo's first time and went at it for almost three hours and a half, god dayum. 10/10

please keep doing these origin story chill vibe chats with as many pros as you can, easily the fastest 3 and half hours in my entire life. Love the regular pods too but having Niko on for beers and banter is an absolute banger.

What a great episode, accompanied me during my night shift. Being a young father, this episode inspires me

So excited to follow Monesy's career. Kid is insane and seems to be pretty mature for someone as young as him. Thanks for the pocast boys. Always amazing to have some insight into what it's like to live the dream of playing this awesome game for a living.

thank you guys for this WHERE u find the time to do this is beyond me , i can t express HOW much i love this , thank you again ps, my kids started playing CS @7 :) i only let them play against bots till they were 9-10 though now they are 13/14 and i dont stand a chance i get " hey Dad GET GOOD OLD MAN" hahah

So fucking glad Niko came to chill with the boys, I remember him saying that he didn’t do podcasts but would be willing to do one with Chad since he is an ex pro and knows a lot about the game. Sick new episode fellas as always

Good shit gents, at 31 and competitive cs behind me its always good to keep up with the game in ways like this without playing it. Love the niko origin story, (mind blowing) that he and hunter's family both own net cafe's and grew up on lan. Cheers MainzE

Dude I listen to podcasts everyday… this has easily become top 3 for me. I look forward each week boys, thank you for bringing the juice and making the best CS podcast going. Fucking awesome content if you’re an avid fan / student of the game.

God damn this is excellent, my inner CS fan is so happy. Weird how people will place such weird expectations on CS players. Of course it would make sense they lose a couple games, they have been playing nonstop and building back momentum after career lows. It was weird how people were reacting on HLTV like they're washed and the era is over after one loss. This team still has a lot of fire and potential in the rest of the season. People act like CS players are robots and dehumanize them, when they are simply professionals doing a job like anyone else... It is amazing that we have so much talent and culture in this esport and we should all be kinder to each other and remember that we do this for the love of the game. This is NiKo's lowest point in his career statistically yet G2 is still winning. Truly an amazing story to see a great like this be able to flourish in a team and not feel like he constantly has to post his highest season ever to win, as CS fans we should be happy for NiKo and for G2 and where this team is at. It's a cliche at this point, but this really reminds me of old Astralis days where they were finally able to get the pieces they needed and overcome mental blocks to really win. One can only imagine all the emotions this team has gone through in the past few months. This type of shit is what CS is about! Teamwork and brotherhood/sisterhood... They've got everything done that they needed to have an excellent season and then some. Good luck to the boys

I love this podcast. Niko is my favorite player. This is a match made in heaven. Huge thanks to Niko for taking the time and the talent for lining it up. +1 for the Niko gym marketing angle, I would legit arrange some vacations to go there as a pilgrimage. Bless you all.

This was 3 hours of pure wholesomeness. Loved every bit of it!! Thank you for making these

Cs would not be as big without these 3 casters, literally more important for the scene than any player. Legends 💯

i just spent 3hours and a half of my free day listening ,this is by far the greatest CS conversation i ve ever heard

kinda nice to see the lads having a beer together i'd give much and more to go out on a night in the pub with ynk niko and spunj

Perfect timing to have in the background at work. Thanks guys
