Overtime on Inferno - Weekly CS2 News

This week on Overtime on Inferno we have a very special guest , as the esports historian Thorin joins Sam to chat about the most headache inducing stories and teams in Counter-Strike. Fraudulence is definitely a running theme this episode. Spirit were a phony number one team, KRL tarnishes his reputation with an intentionally fake leak, and r1nkle is still larping as a professional player. What a...

This week on Overtime on Inferno, Quacke is joined by special guest Btrams whilst Sam is on holiday. Btrams puts his tin foil hat on for us and questions HLTV's decision to award donk the BLAST Porto MVP, as it doesn't line up with their previous decision making on MVPs. It's also looking like cmtry is out of FUT after an especially poor BLAST Porto. As expected, Btrams has the stats t...

This week on Overtime on Inferno, Sam gets back from EWC and puts Quacke's debating skills to the test as they discuss the Vitality era. Quacke believes their era is over, but Sam argues their recent failures will be forgotten if they return to winning ways at the end of the season. Why is Sam holding onto the idea of Vitality winning Singapore? Well, neither him or Quacke are best impressed w...

This week on Overtime on Inferno, Quacke is joined by Jack, who has already returned for the second time since his Overtime on Inferno retirement. Before getting into the latest on EWC, the two of them dissect ENC being delayed for a year, and Passion UA being the latest esports org to get exposed by Luis Mira. As far as the actual Counter-Strike goes, the EWC bracket is now finalised, and the bot...

This week on Overtime on Inferno, Sam and Quacke spend a large portion of the episode on the take of the week segment. In all fairness, unironically suggesting deko could replace sh1ro is quite outrageous. The EWC qualifiers also happened, and somehow, a blockbuster game between s1mple and dev1ce in the year 2026 featured in the later stages of the LAN. Sam and Quacke discuss the two teams and set...

This week on Overtime on Inferno, Sam and Quacke dig into all the results from BLAST Bounty, as well as what is likely to be the last pieces of roster news before the season truly begins at EWC.One man that isn't safe this episode is Hally. Sam has questioned his position as head coach a few times in the past on this show, but now there's actually evidence of what Spirit can play like with...

This week on Overtime on Inferno, we try to avoid talking about BLAST Bounty for as long as possible. To the surprise of no one, online CS still sucks. Mini-games are back with another edition of TLDR tenable, and we also create our free agent dream teams. Though none of the rosters we built could ever compete with this new Liquid team led by JT. Yes, you heard us right, Liquid genuinely look fant...

This week on overtime on inferno, Sam and Quacke are joined by special guest spray. He might be the brightest Counter-Strike mind we've ever had on this podcast, so drink it in and enjoy. One thing that isn't particularly bright though, is NIP's 2026 so far. As the ex-assistant coach, spray offers his insights regarding NIP's roster changes, leadership, and future as a team. Luckil...

This week on Overtime on Inferno, Quacke and Jack discuss rostermania to see if teams have figured out what they lack and made moves that account for that so they can bounce back. It's not just the transfers that did happen that are interesting though, it's also the ones that didn't. We thought jL and lauNX would be on teams by now, so where could they be heading? Our co-hosts aren't so sure it wi...

This week on Overtime on Inferno, rostermania continues with the likes of Aurora confirming their new international identity, and HEROIC revealing their new roster for this season. Sam and Quacke judge all the latest moves and give their thoughts on where each team is headed in the back-end of 2026. Speaking of being judgemental, jcobbb catches some more heat this episode for holding back FaZe&#39...

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. Nice job, Swedish man.

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...

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. We apologise to all listeners and Snax in advance.

This week on Overtime on Inferno, Jack is a busy boy at the IEM Cologne Major.

This week on Overtime on Inferno, Logan is joined by Jack and Sam to do what everyone else isn't prepared to do: rank every single team heading into IEM Cologne in a tier list that will definitely age perfectly and cause no arguments whatsoever. From title contenders to teams with no chance at all, our trio break down the entire field and decide who’s actually worth your belief, and who’s just...

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...

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 t...

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:/...

This week on Overtime Inferno our co-hosts get petty in the stats nerds smackdown as they explain why SunPayus isn't the third best AWPer in the world. Yes seriously, that's something that needed to be explained to someone. Outside of the war against stats nerds, Sam and Jack breakdown where all the top teams are at right now after another Vitality W at BLAST rivals. Place bets and play wi...

For some reason unknown to the CS community, senzu has once again decided to sign for an underwhelming international team. So this week, our co-hosts Sam and Jack invite you all to take a moment of silence for senzu's career. Speaking of silence, there hasn't been any tier-one CS recently, so Sam and Jack get ahead of the game with their Cologne Major team tier list. Play now and place you...

In this episode of Overtime on Inferno, we dive into some of the biggest Counter-Strike talking points right now, including whether Spirit are better off without hally, the changes brewing at MOUZ, and the big question of who might replace FalleN on FURIA. On top of that, we cover oskar's retirement, recap IEM Rio, and finish up with our Razed picks for BLAST Rivals and CCT Global Finals. Join...

On this episode of  Overtime on Inferno , our hosts  Sam  and  Jack  look back on PGL Bucharest and dig into the latest roster reports.

This week on Overtime on Inferno, the boys kick things off with some spicy Aurora roster rumours before breaking down Stanislaw’s surprise move to Metizport. They debate HLTV vs VRS rankings, lose their minds over the Take of the Week, and dig into the Cologne Major invite list now that things are finalised. Oh, and PGL Bucharest is also happening regardless of how little we want to watch tier two...

This week on Overtime on Inferno , the roster shuffle talk gets spicy as we dive into why frozen NEEDS to go to NAVI, because let’s face it, someone has to. The boys also touch on how disappointing Falcons have been lately, and why it might finally be NiKo’s time to pick up the IGL mantle. Over in Asia, The MongolZ continue to confuse everyone by never taking timeouts (not even when cobrazera drop...

This week on Overtime on Inferno , things are a little quiet in the Counter-Strike world, but we’re not letting that stop us. Since we’ve banned ourselves from talking about FaZe (for everyone’s sanity), we’re spicing things up with a few freshly cooked segments from Sam and Jack: a team-building draft, an IEM Cologne Major quiz, and our new favourite, Jack’ll Fix It.
