The last 5 minutes of this video are really good, and I'm probably going to make it into a separate video.

Hi, I'm Salman Khlive and this is an exposition detailing the hidden talents in NA CS, how few players have actually been given shots at International LANs, how there exists a catch-22 amongst players being the gatekeepers keeping less experienced players out of opportunities to gain valuable experience by virtue of them being inexperienced.

0:00 - 1:15 The Experience Catch-22
1:15 - 3:20 Few Players Have Gone to International LANs

Then I go into a long list of players who deserve chances and opportunities on teams that will compete at majors:

3:22 RUSH
5:30 Elige & nitr0
7:00 NAF-FLY
7:57 Stanislaw
9:30 Autimatic
11:00 Roca
12:29 Ryx
14:25 Relyks
14:50 Professor_Chaos
15:41 FGB
15:56 People will always say someone is "bad" in NA or doesn't deserve a shot

16:15 The Gatekeepers are your competitors

17:11 Playing with 4 polished communicative players makes anyone play better

So true shots should be 1 player (such as coldzera) being inserted into a set 4.

21:48 Organizational control of the roster from the top means professionalism in the industry

22:50 Shinobi, Sick, Vice needing to go to LANs together
23:11 Witmer

24:00 EU 2nd and third tier players have always gotten opportunities to go to LANs and prove themselves against the best the world has to offer, but that's not true for any other region

27:30 Organizational roster structure makes for a better free competition for teams

29:00 the current system suffocates competition due to politics and your competitor being your gatekeeper
