Snake & Banter is a CS:GO talk show, hosted by Duncan "Thorin" Shields and Alex "Mauisnake" Ellenberg, themed around each individual selecting a good, bad and ugly topic to discuss.

Snake & Banter

Step into a special post-major episode of Snake & Banter featuring James Banks, where the crew breaks down the latest Counter-Strike major, NAVI's surprise peak, Spirit’s fast roster changes, and the heartbreak around The Mongolz’ collapse. From Banks’ brutal no-days-off schedule and “vaulted” interview content to the lost archives of SK Gaming and Xfire, this episode doubles as a deep dive into CS history, mentality, and how much elite teams rely on sports psychology to unlock players like w0nderful and donk.
