Hello, welcome to the fourth episode of "SHOW ME YOUR SKINS"
00:04.0
00:06.6
a program in which we're talking about skins and CS:GO inventory
00:06.7
00:11.5
My today's guest will be a person I spend a lot of time on the server
00:11.6
00:14.6
I've played with him on my one and only Major tournament
00:14.7
00:18.0
together we played together for ESC and Team Kinguin
00:18.1
00:22.9
By the way, remember to visit Kingui.in/Szpero
00:23.0
00:25.1
What else do we have in common?
00:25.2
00:27.3
Together we got banned by Valve
00:27.4
00:33.1
I think it's quite interesting topic, so without further ado, let's start with another episode!
00:37.5
00:43.9
Together with me is Jacek "minise" Jeziak, CS:GO player that's probably familiar to all of you
00:44.0
00:47.7
- Hello Jacek
- Hello there Grzegorz
00:47.8
00:54.0
minise is currently playing for PACT, but back in the days we played together for some teams
00:57.2
01:05.8
I'll start with quite interesting story – Valve ban
01:05.9
01:13.4
I don't know if it was wrong or not. I'd like you to tell me about it from your perspective
01:13.5
01:22.0
and, by the way, it's skins related, so why have we been banned
01:23.6
01:26.9
I remember it like it was yesterday
01:27.0
01:31.7
We were getting ready for our practice
01:31.8
01:35.6
and I think I was the first one who saw the news about our ban
01:35.7
01:38.0
I had checked the email before everyone gathered on TeamSpeak
01:38.1
01:44.3
And there was an email from ESL. I had to check it as it was right before Major qualifier
01:44.4
01:46.8
It wasn't called Minor back in the days
01:46.9
01:54.9
It was ESL One Katowice Qualifier and we were about to start the praccs
01:55.0
02:03.1
and I learned from the mail that we were banned by Valve
02:03.2
02:09.3
I also remember that this was the day when you decided to quit your job to go full-time CS:GO
02:09.4
02:14.2
- That's right. It wasn't cool to hear that
02:14.3
02:21.0
Long story short we didn't know what was going on. It was match-fixing related ban
02:23.5
02:30.7
I think none of us had any suspicion that other might have done it in secret
02:30.8
02:36.1
or for example the three of us might do it, because we've heard of such cases
02:36.2
02:41.0
We were sure of our guiltlessness
02:41.1
02:47.6
We were lucky that it was right before the contract with G2 was signed
02:47.7
02:53.3
because Ocelote jumped into action and activated his contacts
02:53.4
03:05.4
We had to confess to Valve about our POV, because we got banned for a match we didn't play
03:05.5
03:11.6
It was the other Polish team, maybe we shouldn't mention their nicknames
03:11.7
03:19.2
They fixed a match. We've heard some rumours about it
03:19.3
03:24.1
but we had no impact on its result
03:24.2
03:29.0
The thing is, one of our guys placed a bet on this match - i don't know if he knew about
03:29.1
03:40.4
I could have done it myself, because it was already known before the game
03:40.5
03:45.3
But I told myself I'm not gonna do this. Our friend did the opposite
03:45.4
03:53.8
we knew the match was rigged and then we laughed about it
03:53.9
04:08.6
Our friend sent us some skins and Valve thought we were involved in all this
04:13.0
04:18.9
and it was just a gift. He has done nothing wrong
04:19.0
04:27.4
It was quite weird and funny situation. I think it was the first time Valve has admitted its mistake and unbanned our team
04:27.5
04:30.9
It was cool and not cool at the same time
04:31.0
04:40.9
because I remember Pimp insulting us on Twitter, seized on the other had stood for us
04:41.0
04:46.7
There was a lot going on and I don't know what to think about it
04:46.8
04:51.6
Good that we got unbanned, because we were not guilty
04:51.7
04:52.7
That would be all
04:52.8
05:04.9
Thanks for reminding it. I was going to say we got some skins from our friend and that's why we got banned
05:05.0
05:10.3
- Because you haven't placed a bet, right?
- No, I haven't
05:10.4
05:20.7
But it's funny how big an investigation they had to do
05:20.8
05:28.0
That's true. Let's now talk about CS:GO Lounge. I think everyone knows this website
05:29.1
05:38.9
What were your beginnings with skins? Because back in the days many players used this website
05:39.0
05:41.7
It wasn't forbidden for players to do it
05:41.8
05:46.6
Did you try to make some money from it? Or did you try to trade?
05:47.4
05:52.6
I won't hide the fact that I was betting a lot
05:52.7
05:57.5
I really liked it, because matches were more interesting to watch
05:57.6
06:03.0
Skins weren't treated as real money, at least I think so
06:03.1
06:11.4
Obviously you can sell it, but skins are skins and I really liked to bet with them
06:14.0
06:21.2
It was nice that thanks to CS:GO Lounge we were getting higher viewership
06:21.3
06:24.5
But let's not forget about DDoS attacks, we have experienced it at times
06:24.6
06:32.8
because people were betting skins, so it had some bad impact on our scene
06:32.9
06:37.3
- I remember it wasn't a nice thing to experience
06:37.4
06:42.2
Could you tell me did you make or lose money betting on CS:GO matches?
06:43.2
06:49.9
I think I made some money, especially as I used to play roulettes
06:50.0
06:55.6
The amounts weren't big, but I made $3000 from 100 dollars
06:55.7
07:00.5
so I think when it comes to betting and gambling, I earned some money
07:02.0
07:10.4
Eventually I lost most of it on roulettes, because I really liked playing it
07:10.5
07:15.3
So i made some money on betting, but then zeroed my account on roulettes
07:15.4
07:17.7
- Most people like to go wild sometimes
07:17.8
07:23.7
Do you remember how much money did you put in?
07:23.8
07:29.9
I'm not talking about betting only, but also about cases
07:30.0
07:45.1
I have this rule not to spend real money on stupid things in CS:GO or in games overall
07:45.2
07:56.9
I happened to open a few dozen of cases, but I was using money from PayPal
07:57.0
08:05.2
but I didn't put in any big amounts to get some knives
08:05.3
08:07.9
and I think I won't do it in the future
08:08.0
08:14.2
- That's good thinking. I have the same rule, trying not to spend my own money
08:14.3
08:19.1
Let's check your inventory. I heard it's currently not in the best shape
08:19.2
08:37.5
We'll get to that right away, but first tell us about your best or favourite skins related to your career
08:37.6
08:39.5
Any specific skins come to your mind?
08:39.6
08:51.0
Not really. I remember playing with Huntsman Slaughter during DHW Major
08:51.1
08:55.9
It's the first thing that comes to my mind, when I come back to the past
09:00.9
09:12.2
Currently I'm using Flip Knife, because it fits well with AWP
09:12.3
09:17.1
For me it's more about animation of the knife, than it's pattern
09:21.0
09:24.7
So currently I'm using Flip Knife
- Show it to us
09:24.8
09:30.8
I didn't even know it's named liked that. In Polish it's "Flip Knife Taiga"
09:33.0
09:38.5
It has this "camo" look and that would be all.
09:38.6
09:43.4
I also have AWP Containment Breach that I borrowed from a friend
09:43.5
09:48.3
It's quite nice and green
09:48.4
09:55.4
About knife – for me it's more about animation
09:55.5
10:14.5
What's interesting, when I played with TaZ, we got some nice knives, but as you see, I lost it somewhere
10:14.6
10:26.4
I got Butterfly Knife Fade or even a better one. I'm sorry Wiktor, it's gone
10:26.5
10:29.9
- He shouldn't be mad about it
10:30.0
10:35.6
So you don't care about skins as a player? Most of them really think about nice knives and such
10:35.7
10:40.5
When I was a sniper, I wanted to have Dragon Lore and finally got it
10:40.6
10:41.6
Because we've been playing for Lounge Gaming
10:47.1
10:56.8
Are you ok with your Flip Knife? Is animation the only thing that matters?
10:56.9
11:13.8
Well, I'd like to have some nice skins and I wouldn't mind getting it for free
11:13.9
11:18.7
but all my favourite skins would cost me around 1800 dollars
11:18.8
11:27.8
so I wouldn't like to invest real money to have better knife
11:29.9
11:38.0
I don't know if you've seen it, but some teams have this knife mod on their servers
11:38.1
11:42.9
I haven't seen it on pracc servers, but on deathmatch
11:43.0
11:51.8
When we enter the server, we check whether this mod works or not
11:51.9
11:56.7
Our coach always gets mad, because when it works, everyone changes his knife every single round
11:56.8
12:01.6
We are more focused on knives than on the game
12:01.7
12:11.0
You can switch all the skins, so when the enemy team uses this mod, our coach suggests joining our server
12:11.1
12:14.0
- That's nice, but I haven't seen it yet
12:18.1
12:26.3
I was going to ask whether you have some two favourite skins - AWP, knife - whatever
12:27.9
12:31.5
I think my pick would be AWP Dragon Lore
- Do you like this new Fade skin?
12:31.6
12:40.2
Not really, I don't like it at all. I think Dragon Lore is much prettier
12:40.3
12:56.6
Glock Fade is quite nice, USP Orion is cool as well. And Butterfly Knife is a great fit for AWP
12:59.6
13:05.8
About Glock Fade – I got this skin from rallen right before our ban
13:05.9
13:15.4
Back then you could buy it for 70 dollars and now... prices changed a lot
13:15.5
13:20.7
- I don't remember what I got
13:20.8
13:25.4
I don't remember about the ban, but I remember about my Glock :D
13:25.5
13:30.3
- Do you still have it?
- No, I traded it for one with in better condition
13:32.7
13:37.0
Alright Jacek, let's not make it any longer. Thanks for sharing your stories
13:37.1
13:41.6
Your current inventory isn't impressive, but hopefully you will improve
13:41.7
13:45.0
- If you want, you can help me out :D
- We will see...
13:48.4
13:54.8
I'll invite everyone to visit Kinguin's website. Maybe our viewers will sort you out
13:54.9
14:00.8
At Kinguin's website you can get some nice skins and cases for CS:GO players
14:00.9
14:09.5
As I said before, remember to show me your skins to get a chance to be invited in some of the next episodes
14:09.6
14:15.4
Thank you for watching this episode, remember to hit "SUBSCRIBE" button and visit SzperoTV
14:15.5
14:18.3
How about miniseTV? Does it exist?
- No
14:18.4
14:20.8
Maybe someday it will come into life :D
14:20.9
14:25.7
I'm currently gathering highlights for the first episode, but it ain't that easy :D
14:25.8
14:30.6
Thanks for watching, thank you Jacek!
