Back in 2023, at the <\/span><b>Paris Major RMR<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, I found myself in a hotel-lobby bar in Copenhagen, catching up with old friends and colleagues over a few drinks. Actually, that\u2019s a lie: I don\u2019t drink beer; I drink cider now, and I do it proudly.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The evening turned into a session of trading war stories. That time the broadcast lasted 18 hours and every food-delivery service was closed. That time someone showed up hung-over after two hours of sleep and still did great work. Nothing suggested the night would become anything more than cider and stories with old friends.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><strong>Enter DevilWalk<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">That\u2019s when I saw him. He strolled across the floor\u2014cool, slow, a bit shaggy\u2014yet instantly recognizable. I hadn\u2019t seen him for years; nobody had even spoken his name for a long while. But here he was in the Copenhagen Plaza lobby, heading toward our group.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We had first met in Beijing at the\u2014somewhat inappropriately named\u2014<\/span><b>MSI Beat It 2013<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> tournament, where he finished second to <\/span><b>VeryGames<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. Our first real conversation was while boarding a bus to <\/span><b>DreamHack J\u00f6nk\u00f6ping 2013<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. He introduced himself, and I remember thinking he was down-to-earth\u2014the sort of guy you\u2019d enjoy hanging out with and talking Counter-Strike.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Now he was back: older, more reflective, still unmistakably <\/span><b>DevilWalk<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u2014fortunately wearing pants this time. Beer in hand, he joined our chaotic conversation about <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">how to find good players<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-194178\" src=\"https:\/\/skin.club\/community\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/image-1-7.jpg\" alt=\"Enter DevilWalk\" width=\"1280\" height=\"720\" srcset=\"https:\/\/community.skin.club\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/image-1-7.jpg 1280w, https:\/\/community.skin.club\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/image-1-7-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/community.skin.club\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/image-1-7-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/community.skin.club\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/image-1-7-768x432.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1280px) 100vw, 1280px\" \/><\/p>\n<h2><strong>\u201cLearn\u2014Unlearn\u2014Relearn\u201d<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Amid the noise, DevilWalk cut through:<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"custom-bq\"><div class=\"custom-bq-q\"><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Listen, Anders, listen! I think what you need is to find people who are really good in FPL. Then you take them and you unlearn the FPL, and teach them real Counter-Strike. Then you unlearn the real Counter-Strike and teach them FPL again.<\/span><\/p><\/div><\/blockquote>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A moment of real madness, I thought at first. Yet the words hung in my mind, lingering as if I had just been exposed to some deeper truth I couldn\u2019t decode. Like walking home late at night and seeing graffiti that reads, \u201cWherever you go, there you are.\u201d Quite right.<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"custom-bq\"><div class=\"custom-bq-q\"><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Learn\u2026 unlearn\u2026 learn\u2026 unlearn, then relearn.<\/span><\/p><\/div><\/blockquote>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Obviously, the important thing here wasn\u2019t really about playing FPL or not; FPL was just a way to label a kind of mentality you can have while playing Counter-Strike. Unfocused and untrained, that kind of Counter-Strike is brittle and breaks easily\u2014but if brought out at the right moment, it can be very hard to stop.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I have thought about this concept a lot since my chance encounter with DevilWalk. Philosophy struck past midnight, but life is like that sometimes.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The more I thought about it, the more genius the whole concept appeared to me. I realised that <\/span><b>you can\u2019t easily rewrite the idea without messing it up<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. I tried to find a shorter, less awkward phrasing:<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"custom-bq\"><div class=\"custom-bq-q\"><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">at first you play unstructured, then you learn structure, and finally you return to the chaos you began with<\/span><\/p><\/div><\/blockquote>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">but the problem was always the same. It\u2019s not just a question of structure; it is a mixture of looseness, mentality, and a certain boldness that is sometimes better captured by \u201cFPL\u201d than anything else.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><strong>Looking at Majors Through the Lens<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I gave up trying to rephrase the idea and simply <\/span><b>accepted it<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. Instead, I started looking at Majors in a different light. If the Lundbergian school of philosophy held any truth, we should be able to understand parts of the game better through its lens\u2014so that is what I did.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><strong>2025: The BLAST Major in Austin<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-194194\" src=\"https:\/\/skin.club\/community\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/image-2-6.jpg\" alt=\"2025: The BLAST Major in Austin\" width=\"1280\" height=\"720\" srcset=\"https:\/\/community.skin.club\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/image-2-6.jpg 1280w, https:\/\/community.skin.club\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/image-2-6-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/community.skin.club\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/image-2-6-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/community.skin.club\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/image-2-6-768x432.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1280px) 100vw, 1280px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Now, here in 2025, we are at the dawn of another<\/span><b> BLAST Major playoffs<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, this time in Austin. This Major has already produced an incredible number of interesting results. We have underdog teams celebrating and a few playoff favourites disappointing. Both, I think, can be understood in large part by reflecting on what Jonathan said.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The result a team like <\/span><b>Nemiga<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, <\/span><b>Lynn Vision<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, <\/span><b>Legacy<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, or <\/span><b>MIBR<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> managed at this Major highlights the importance of finding a way to play Counter-Strike that is actually fun. It would be ridiculous to suggest these teams don\u2019t understand the fundamentals of Counter-Strike or that they lack structure entirely, yet they also appear able to throw that structure away at key moments.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you watch games from the opening stage, with Lynn Vision on the CT side, you will see far more movement than we would typically be comfortable with. It might be tempting to criticise the Chinese team for that\u2014and in certain moments, perhaps it\u2019s warranted\u2014but that same energy also made them incredibly hard to read on their T sides and gave them openings nobody expected. More than that, they ended up really enjoying the game of Counter-Strike.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><strong>Falcons and the Joy Factor<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">But what if we contrast this with the more disappointing teams like <\/span><b>Falcons<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">? Would anyone argue that the Falcons\u2019 crash-out was due to a lack of Counter-Strike fundamentals? Do they not understand the basic structure of playing a CT or T side? I strongly doubt anyone could make that criticism stick. On the other hand, when was the last time you saw a Falcons squad that looked like it was having a good time?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Obviously, in the Falcons\u2019 case there is a lot more going on because of built-in expectations for both the team as a whole and the individual players. Yet it feels as though relearning\u2014or re-incorporating\u2014whatever mentality we mean when we say \u201cFPL\u201d would give the team a huge boost.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-194210\" src=\"https:\/\/skin.club\/community\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/image-3-7.jpg\" alt=\"Falcons and the Joy Factor\" width=\"1280\" height=\"720\" srcset=\"https:\/\/community.skin.club\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/image-3-7.jpg 1280w, https:\/\/community.skin.club\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/image-3-7-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/community.skin.club\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/image-3-7-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/community.skin.club\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/image-3-7-768x432.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1280px) 100vw, 1280px\" \/><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I say this as a permanent member of the <\/span><b>NiKo<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> fan club. I would put NiKo against any player in the world and be confident he could win. But when I watch NiKo play Counter-Strike right now, it doesn\u2019t look like <\/span><b>fun<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">; it looks like <\/span><b>hard work<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. The joy of playing seems to have left the room, and when that happens it can erode even players like NiKo and <\/span><b>m0NESY<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. This is also what makes Counter-Strike such a great sport: if it were only a question of obtaining the best mechanics\u2014reaction times and aim\u2014it would be a much less interesting concept. The mental aspect of the game is important enough to propel tier-two teams to enormous runs at a Major and make generational talents look mediocre. That is why this whole topic fascinates me.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">At the end of the day, I have no doubt that the Falcons example is both good and bad for testing this philosophy\u2014bad because there are <\/span><b>too many variables involved<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. Yet the concept works when we look at the teams that surprised us at the Major.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Ultimately, dear reader, I leave it up to you to judge. <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Did DevilWalk stretch into the fabric of the universe and extract some deeper truth in that hotel bar?<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> If there is a truth built into the idea, how do you make it work in practice?<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><strong>Final Reflections<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><b>Learning to unlearn<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u2014it has a nice ring to it. Like when the ancients claimed that the key to life is to die before you die. Maybe you have to unlearn before you can learn. Counter-Strike has taught us to expect the unexpected\u2014another powerful lesson, in my opinion. Perhaps in the future we will look back and recognise DevilWalk for his contribution to the philosophy of Counter-Strike.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I try to be a reasonable person\u2014most of the time, anyway.
