## Resource

We break down whether NiKo ruined CS by pioneering the super‑team era, analyze PARIVISION’s rise and why Jame’s teams may never reach another Major playoff, reveal why modern rivalries lack the identity of classic era matchups, and discuss how today’s meta pressures every young talent to chase super teams instead of building long-term cores.
