"Falcons need b1t to win more trophies", PARIVISION sign donk 2.0, and FaZe COULD turn it around
Overtime on Inferno is back for a rostermania special. Thankfully for the scene, there have been plenty more moves than last rostermania, with it looking like there's more to come.It's quacke's first episode as a full-time host and he does a great job, except for the part where he can't stay inside the overlay.

“Falcons won’t win more trophies”, FaZe sign a bad AWPer, and why FURIA bottled the Major
It's a very sad episode this week on Overtime on Inferno, because Jack didn't back karrigans move to Falcons, he has identified himself as a fraud who doesn't understand Counter-Strike. In fact, this brought him so much shame that he has decided to leave the podcast so he can restore honour to his bloodline.Oh and by the way, we also talk about how Cologne was greatest Major of all time this week. Long live Counter-Strike.Join the discord:https://discord.gg/X3jU4djxUK🎙️ Subscribe to the pod:https://readtldr.gg/podcast🗞️ Join +32K readers of our newsletter:https://readtldr.ggFollow your host and guests: https://twitter.com/AN1MOCS2https://twitter.com/novaHdesignhttps://x.com/quacke69Thumbnail Jazz by: https://twitter.com/jameshserpa 📌 Interested in advertising with us?

"Spirit are the Major favourites", Liquid are embarrassing, which team NEEDS kl1m?
Overtime on Inferno is a threesome this week as Sam is joined by Quacke and Napz. If you think that’s a weird thing to read in a CS podcast description, just wait until you hear what kind of things are said this episode.

"karrigan can beat Vitality", Counter-Strike is doomed, and NIP is the worst run CS team
This week on Overtime on Inferno, Jack is a busy boy at the IEM Cologne Major. So this episode Sam is joined by special guest quacke to discuss the fall of Parken Challengers, their two teams to beat Vitality, and then there was even time for a special quiz.

"Liquid should sell their entire team", karrigan NEEDS to retire, and PARIVISION is a dead roster
This week on Overtime on Inferno, Sam and Jack make things worse for themselves in this UK heatwave by getting all hot and bothered by karrigan's recent performances on Falcons. In all fairness to them, a rating of 0.73 is unforgivable.Speaking of unforgivable, cheaters are a point of discussion this episode, or rather how to stop them. As a bonus, Sam and Jack didn't even need to figure out how to do it, since former fnatic player Jackinho has made plenty of good suggestions that we cover in full.Sign-up to Razed and play now: https://www.razed.com/signup/?raf=tldrJoin the discord:https://discord.gg/X3jU4djxUKCheck out Logan's newsletter:https://thestratbook.ggSubscribe to the pod:https://readtldr.gg/podcastJoin +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/novaHdesignEpisode edited by:https://x.com/CharlinhoCSThumbnail Jazz by:https://twitter.com/jameshserpaInterested in advertising with us?

"Falcons should've made NiKo IGL", Spirit could win the Major, and huNter's time is running out
Overtime on Inferno is back to review the latest news alongside PGL Astana, and IEM Atlanta. Well, mostly just PGL Astana since half the teams at Atlanta were lacking quality to say the least.Speaking of lacking quality, Sam and Jack call into question the leadership positions over at Falcons and G2 this episode. Karrigan's drawbacks are self-explanatory, but for huNter, the boys have called in the help of stat nerds.Sign-up to Razed and play now: https://www.razed.com/signup/?raf=tldrJoin the discord:https://discord.gg/X3jU4djxUKCheck out Logan's newsletter:https://thestratbook.ggSubscribe to the pod:https://readtldr.gg/podcastJoin +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/novaHdesignEpisode edited by:https://x.com/CharlinhoCSThumbnail Jazz by:https://twitter.com/jameshserpaInterested in advertising with us?

"sh1ro has gone missing", Falcons struggle with karrigan, and are MOUZ back?
This week on Overtime on Inferno, sh1ro has seemingly vanished into thin air (no, seriously), Falcons are trying to make karrigan work and it’s not exactly clicking, and MOUZ might be back but we’ve all been hurt before.Oh, and Razed Picks are back for the CS Asia Championships, which will actually be difficult to predict since Vitality aren't attending.Sign-up to Razed and play now: https://www.razed.com/signup/?raf=tldrJoin the discord:https://discord.gg/X3jU4djxUKCheck out Logan's newsletter:https://thestratbook.ggSubscribe to the pod:https://readtldr.gg/podcastJoin +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/novaHdesignEpisode edited by:https://x.com/CharlinhoCSThumbnail Jazz by:https://twitter.com/jameshserpaInterested in advertising with us?
