Stage 2 is over and the dust has settled, thankfully the quality of the games were better in this stage. Well, at least by a bit, since Astralis were there to stink it out this time. Speaking of Asstralis, this week Sam and Jack talk about if there's anyway around their roster blowing up, as well as how fix the format of the Major once and for all.

On this week's episode of Overtime on Inferno our hosts decide to circumvent the slow news week by playing a brand new game invented by the geniuses at tldr, "Go DaZeD or no DaZeD?".
Aside from guessing what schizo tweets are real or not, the boys also get to analysing the BLAST Rivals Hong Kong Grand Final. The conclusion? TeSeS might need to visit a job centre soon...

On this week's episode of Overtime on Inferno, our hosts engage in a great debate surrounding Team Spirit's leadership again (but longer this time). Danish AWPing IGL cadiaN also makes a return with OG, the boys discuss if his career is still dead in the water, and if there's anyone OG can sign as a 5th that doesn't involve rescuing Fl4mus from the shadow realm. Otherwise known as Virtus.Pro.Join the discord:https://discord.gg/X3jU4djxUKCheck out Logan's newsletter:https://thestratbook.gg🎙️ Subscribe to the pod:https://readtldr.gg/podcast🗞️ Join +32K readers of our newsletter:https://readtldr.ggBecome a Counter-Strike demon:https://learncs.ggFollow your host and guests: https://twitter.com/AN1MOCS2https://twitter.com/novaHdesignhttps://twitter.com/aizyesque Thumbnail Jazz by: https://twitter.com/jameshserpa 📌 Interested in advertising with us?

Jack, Elliott, and Sam are back with another episode of Overtime on Inferno! This week, the boys kick things off with the (surprisingly serious) Counter-Strike guessing game, “Who Am I?” — but it’s not all fun and games. Things heat up when a certain French journalist shares a spicy take on rain’s benching at FaZe.

This week's Overtime on Inferno episode is a threeway, but not the fun kind (unless you have a thing for witty podcasts). The boys discuss whether or not donk should leave Team Spirit before promptly moving onto pocket watching the 18 year-old Russian.
A recap of Fissure Playground 2 also features.

This week on Overtime on Inferno, our hosts Sam and Jack decide to take a break from seething about VRS so they can dedicate 95% of their brain power to figuring out who Twistzz is replacing on FaZe. Then, the remaining 5% goes towards "the Chinese super team thought experiment".
Take of the week also returns after a whopping one week break.
