1 00:00:00,00 --> 00:00:03,900 Hello, welcome to the fourth episode of "SHOW ME YOUR SKINS" 2 00:00:04,000 --> 00:00:06,600 a program in which we're talking about skins and CS:GO inventory 3 00:00:06,700 --> 00:00:11,500 My today's guest will be a person I spend a lot of time on the server 4 00:00:11,600 --> 00:00:14,600 I've played with him on my one and only Major tournament 5 00:00:14,700 --> 00:00:18,000 together we played together for ESC and Team Kinguin 6 00:00:18,100 --> 00:00:22,900 By the way, remember to visit Kingui.in/Szpero 7 00:00:23,000 --> 00:00:25,100 What else do we have in common? 8 00:00:25,200 --> 00:00:27,300 Together we got banned by Valve 9 00:00:27,400 --> 00:00:33,100 I think it's quite interesting topic, so without further ado, let's start with another episode! 10 00:00:37,500 --> 00:00:43,900 Together with me is Jacek "minise" Jeziak, CS:GO player that's probably familiar to all of you 11 00:00:44,000 --> 00:00:47,700 - Hello Jacek - Hello there Grzegorz 12 00:00:47,800 --> 00:00:54,000 minise is currently playing for PACT, but back in the days we played together for some teams 13 00:00:57,200 --> 00:01:05,800 I'll start with quite interesting story – Valve ban 14 00:01:05,900 --> 00:01:13,400 I don't know if it was wrong or not. I'd like you to tell me about it from your perspective 15 00:01:13,500 --> 00:01:22,000 and, by the way, it's skins related, so why have we been banned 16 00:01:23,600 --> 00:01:26,900 I remember it like it was yesterday 17 00:01:27,000 --> 00:01:31,700 We were getting ready for our practice 18 00:01:31,800 --> 00:01:35,600 and I think I was the first one who saw the news about our ban 19 00:01:35,700 --> 00:01:38,000 I had checked the email before everyone gathered on TeamSpeak 20 00:01:38,100 --> 00:01:44,300 And there was an email from ESL. I had to check it as it was right before Major qualifier 21 00:01:44,400 --> 00:01:46,800 It wasn't called Minor back in the days 22 00:01:46,900 --> 00:01:54,900 It was ESL One Katowice Qualifier and we were about to start the praccs 23 00:01:55,000 --> 00:02:03,100 and I learned from the mail that we were banned by Valve 24 00:02:03,200 --> 00:02:09,300 I also remember that this was the day when you decided to quit your job to go full-time CS:GO 25 00:02:09,400 --> 00:02:14,200 - That's right. It wasn't cool to hear that 26 00:02:14,300 --> 00:02:21,000 Long story short we didn't know what was going on. It was match-fixing related ban 27 00:02:23,500 --> 00:02:30,700 I think none of us had any suspicion that other might have done it in secret 28 00:02:30,800 --> 00:02:36,100 or for example the three of us might do it, because we've heard of such cases 29 00:02:36,200 --> 00:02:41,000 We were sure of our guiltlessness 30 00:02:41,100 --> 00:02:47,600 We were lucky that it was right before the contract with G2 was signed 31 00:02:47,700 --> 00:02:53,300 because Ocelote jumped into action and activated his contacts 32 00:02:53,400 --> 00:03:05,400 We had to confess to Valve about our POV, because we got banned for a match we didn't play 33 00:03:05,500 --> 00:03:11,600 It was the other Polish team, maybe we shouldn't mention their nicknames 34 00:03:11,700 --> 00:03:19,200 They fixed a match. We've heard some rumours about it 35 00:03:19,300 --> 00:03:24,100 but we had no impact on its result 36 00:03:24,200 --> 00:03:29,000 The thing is, one of our guys placed a bet on this match - i don't know if he knew about 37 00:03:29,100 --> 00:03:40,400 I could have done it myself, because it was already known before the game 38 00:03:40,500 --> 00:03:45,300 But I told myself I'm not gonna do this. Our friend did the opposite 39 00:03:45,400 --> 00:03:53,800 we knew the match was rigged and then we laughed about it 40 00:03:53,900 --> 00:04:08,600 Our friend sent us some skins and Valve thought we were involved in all this 41 00:04:13,000 --> 00:04:18,900 and it was just a gift. He has done nothing wrong 42 00:04:19,000 --> 00:04:27,400 It was quite weird and funny situation. I think it was the first time Valve has admitted its mistake and unbanned our team 43 00:04:27,500 --> 00:04:30,900 It was cool and not cool at the same time 44 00:04:31,000 --> 00:04:40,900 because I remember Pimp insulting us on Twitter, seized on the other had stood for us 45 00:04:41,000 --> 00:04:46,700 There was a lot going on and I don't know what to think about it 46 00:04:46,800 --> 00:04:51,600 Good that we got unbanned, because we were not guilty 47 00:04:51,700 --> 00:04:52,700 That would be all 48 00:04:52,800 --> 00:05:04,900 Thanks for reminding it. I was going to say we got some skins from our friend and that's why we got banned 49 00:05:05,000 --> 00:05:10,300 - Because you haven't placed a bet, right? - No, I haven't 50 00:05:10,400 --> 00:05:20,700 But it's funny how big an investigation they had to do 51 00:05:20,800 --> 00:05:28,000 That's true. Let's now talk about CS:GO Lounge. I think everyone knows this website 52 00:05:29,100 --> 00:05:38,900 What were your beginnings with skins? Because back in the days many players used this website 53 00:05:39,000 --> 00:05:41,700 It wasn't forbidden for players to do it 54 00:05:41,800 --> 00:05:46,600 Did you try to make some money from it? Or did you try to trade? 55 00:05:47,400 --> 00:05:52,600 I won't hide the fact that I was betting a lot 56 00:05:52,700 --> 00:05:57,500 I really liked it, because matches were more interesting to watch 57 00:05:57,600 --> 00:06:03,000 Skins weren't treated as real money, at least I think so 58 00:06:03,100 --> 00:06:11,400 Obviously you can sell it, but skins are skins and I really liked to bet with them 59 00:06:14,000 --> 00:06:21,200 It was nice that thanks to CS:GO Lounge we were getting higher viewership 60 00:06:21,300 --> 00:06:24,500 But let's not forget about DDoS attacks, we have experienced it at times 61 00:06:24,600 --> 00:06:32,800 because people were betting skins, so it had some bad impact on our scene 62 00:06:32,900 --> 00:06:37,300 - I remember it wasn't a nice thing to experience 63 00:06:37,400 --> 00:06:42,200 Could you tell me did you make or lose money betting on CS:GO matches? 64 00:06:43,200 --> 00:06:49,900 I think I made some money, especially as I used to play roulettes 65 00:06:50,000 --> 00:06:55,600 The amounts weren't big, but I made $3000 from 100 dollars 66 00:06:55,700 --> 00:07:00,500 so I think when it comes to betting and gambling, I earned some money 67 00:07:02,000 --> 00:07:10,400 Eventually I lost most of it on roulettes, because I really liked playing it 68 00:07:10,500 --> 00:07:15,300 So i made some money on betting, but then zeroed my account on roulettes 69 00:07:15,400 --> 00:07:17,700 - Most people like to go wild sometimes 70 00:07:17,800 --> 00:07:23,700 Do you remember how much money did you put in? 71 00:07:23,800 --> 00:07:29,900 I'm not talking about betting only, but also about cases 72 00:07:30,000 --> 00:07:45,100 I have this rule not to spend real money on stupid things in CS:GO or in games overall 73 00:07:45,200 --> 00:07:56,900 I happened to open a few dozen of cases, but I was using money from PayPal 74 00:07:57,000 --> 00:08:05,200 but I didn't put in any big amounts to get some knives 75 00:08:05,300 --> 00:08:07,900 and I think I won't do it in the future 76 00:08:08,000 --> 00:08:14,200 - That's good thinking. I have the same rule, trying not to spend my own money 77 00:08:14,300 --> 00:08:19,100 Let's check your inventory. I heard it's currently not in the best shape 78 00:08:19,200 --> 00:08:37,500 We'll get to that right away, but first tell us about your best or favourite skins related to your career 79 00:08:37,600 --> 00:08:39,500 Any specific skins come to your mind? 80 00:08:39,600 --> 00:08:51,000 Not really. I remember playing with Huntsman Slaughter during DHW Major 81 00:08:51,100 --> 00:08:55,900 It's the first thing that comes to my mind, when I come back to the past 82 00:08:56,000 --> 00:09:00,800 83 00:09:00,900 --> 00:09:12,200 Currently I'm using Flip Knife, because it fits well with AWP 84 00:09:12,300 --> 00:09:17,100 For me it's more about animation of the knife, than it's pattern 85 00:09:21,000 --> 00:09:24,700 So currently I'm using Flip Knife - Show it to us 86 00:09:24,800 --> 00:09:30,800 I didn't even know it's named liked that. In Polish it's "Flip Knife Taiga" 87 00:09:33,000 --> 00:09:38,500 It has this "camo" look and that would be all. 88 00:09:38,600 --> 00:09:43,400 I also have AWP Containment Breach that I borrowed from a friend 89 00:09:43,500 --> 00:09:48,300 It's quite nice and green 90 00:09:48,400 --> 00:09:55,400 About knife – for me it's more about animation 91 00:09:55,500 --> 00:10:14,500 What's interesting, when I played with TaZ, we got some nice knives, but as you see, I lost it somewhere 92 00:10:14,600 --> 00:10:26,400 I got Butterfly Knife Fade or even a better one. I'm sorry Wiktor, it's gone 93 00:10:26,500 --> 00:10:29,900 - He shouldn't be mad about it 94 00:10:30,000 --> 00:10:35,600 So you don't care about skins as a player? Most of them really think about nice knives and such 95 00:10:35,700 --> 00:10:40,500 When I was a sniper, I wanted to have Dragon Lore and finally got it 96 00:10:40,600 --> 00:10:41,600 Because we've been playing for Lounge Gaming 97 00:10:47,100 --> 00:10:56,800 Are you ok with your Flip Knife? Is animation the only thing that matters? 98 00:10:56,900 --> 00:11:13,800 Well, I'd like to have some nice skins and I wouldn't mind getting it for free 99 00:11:13,900 --> 00:11:18,700 but all my favourite skins would cost me around 1800 dollars 100 00:11:18,800 --> 00:11:27,800 so I wouldn't like to invest real money to have better knife 101 00:11:29,900 --> 00:11:38,000 I don't know if you've seen it, but some teams have this knife mod on their servers 102 00:11:38,100 --> 00:11:42,900 I haven't seen it on pracc servers, but on deathmatch 103 00:11:43,000 --> 00:11:51,800 When we enter the server, we check whether this mod works or not 104 00:11:51,900 --> 00:11:56,700 Our coach always gets mad, because when it works, everyone changes his knife every single round 105 00:11:56,800 --> 00:12:01,600 We are more focused on knives than on the game 106 00:12:01,700 --> 00:12:11,000 You can switch all the skins, so when the enemy team uses this mod, our coach suggests joining our server 107 00:12:11,100 --> 00:12:14,000 - That's nice, but I haven't seen it yet 108 00:12:18,100 --> 00:12:26,300 I was going to ask whether you have some two favourite skins - AWP, knife - whatever 109 00:12:27,900 --> 00:12:31,500 I think my pick would be AWP Dragon Lore - Do you like this new Fade skin? 110 00:12:31,600 --> 00:12:40,200 Not really, I don't like it at all. I think Dragon Lore is much prettier 111 00:12:40,300 --> 00:12:56,600 Glock Fade is quite nice, USP Orion is cool as well. And Butterfly Knife is a great fit for AWP 112 00:12:59,600 --> 00:13:05,800 About Glock Fade – I got this skin from rallen right before our ban 113 00:13:05,900 --> 00:13:15,400 Back then you could buy it for 70 dollars and now... prices changed a lot 114 00:13:15,500 --> 00:13:20,700 - I don't remember what I got 115 00:13:20,800 --> 00:13:25,400 I don't remember about the ban, but I remember about my Glock :D 116 00:13:25,500 --> 00:13:30,300 - Do you still have it? - No, I traded it for one with in better condition 117 00:13:32,700 --> 00:13:37,000 Alright Jacek, let's not make it any longer. Thanks for sharing your stories 118 00:13:37,100 --> 00:13:41,600 Your current inventory isn't impressive, but hopefully you will improve 119 00:13:41,700 --> 00:13:45,000 - If you want, you can help me out :D - We will see... 120 00:13:48,400 --> 00:13:54,800 I'll invite everyone to visit Kinguin's website. Maybe our viewers will sort you out 121 00:13:54,900 --> 00:14:00,800 At Kinguin's website you can get some nice skins and cases for CS:GO players 122 00:14:00,900 --> 00:14:09,500 As I said before, remember to show me your skins to get a chance to be invited in some of the next episodes 123 00:14:09,600 --> 00:14:15,400 Thank you for watching this episode, remember to hit "SUBSCRIBE" button and visit SzperoTV 124 00:14:15,500 --> 00:14:18,300 How about miniseTV? Does it exist? - No 125 00:14:18,400 --> 00:14:20,800 Maybe someday it will come into life :D 126 00:14:20,900 --> 00:14:25,700 I'm currently gathering highlights for the first episode, but it ain't that easy :D 127 00:14:25,800 --> 00:14:30,600 Thanks for watching, thank you Jacek!
