HLTV Confirmed – Counter-Strike Podcast
Justin "jks" Savage joined HLTV Confirmed to discuss recent roster news, including nitr0's departure from Liquid, opened up about his development as a player and 100 Thieves' coaching change, and the chances of LANs, particularly Pro League and the Major, happening this year. The Australian is wary of the dangers the pandemic presents, but also admits that he would enjoy going to Europe where he could play against more different teams. He also touched on offers from other teams and his expectations at upcoming tournaments.
