Banks and Devilwalk return for Episode 88 of the All About Counter-Strike Podcast to break down a chaotic week in professional CS2!

Fresh off ESL Pro League Season 22, the boys analyze Team Vitality’s dominant Grand Final sweep over MOUZ, ZywOo’s absurd 2.0+ rating on Cache, and whether the “Vitality Era” ever truly left. Meanwhile, the crisis deepens for Team Falcons as Devilwalk argues the roster looks noticeably worse with karrigan than they did with kyxsan, leaving m0NESY stranded despite MVP-caliber form.

The duo also break down the blueprint MOUZ created to completely shut down donk (and the viral desk slam that followed), FURIA’s disastrous schedule and player burnout crisis ahead of Singapore, Astralis benching HooXi and Jabbi, Sashi’s bizarre 48-hour Aussie roster saga, and predictions for the upcoming Thunderpick World Championship in Malta.
