Season two of the year opens with BLAST Bounty already running, Team Falcons eliminated by 100 Thieves, and Aurora's new lineup falling on its face in its first series of the season.
Pedro, Sam, Elliott and Sebastian run through opening week. The Receipts is back with CS:GO demos finally working, which means Sam brought the performance graphs from DreamHack Stockholm 2018 to argue that North won that event because of aizy, not MSL, plus a second chart that plots two completely different versions of s1mple depending on who he is playing and what is on the line.
That fourth graph turns into the biggest conversation of the episode. If s1mple only shows up when the match matters, BC Game have to keep buying matches that matter, and that changes how you read every move they make. We also work through the G2 bench, the Liquid rebuild, an AWPer top five that finally looks healthy, and Legacy moving saadzin on, which turns into a longer conversation about why Brazilian rosters get built on completely different maths to European ones.
