All new episode of Feed The Trolls is here.  @Thooorin  & I are joined by Allan Hender to take a look at the drop in performance from two of Counter-Strike's biggest teams: Vitality & FaZe. We explore the expectations placed on both these lineups, the constant roster change discussions which plague the scene and the possible fixes to the drop in form from both teams.
