I have been a silent viewer for a while. Oh my lord, this was a banger. So many juicy storylines, narratives and rich unforgotten legacy. Both launders and Thorin bringing in their classic legendary quotes... this is esports!
JWs biggest impact was always the entertainment. He's one of the few pros who actually admit that they are primarily entertainers and god did he play that role well.
2:33 - when you (miraculously) hit an outrageous AWP flick, who's name do you call? KennyS is the "Kobe" of crazy AWP shots. I'm pretty sure I've heard s1mple and other elite AWPers jokingly say "KennyS" before/after shots.
If you were to use this Mount Rushmore format but with more supportive roles being the theme I feel that could make for some interesting discussion and be a good chance to shed some light on some under appreciated pieces from the best rosters across CSGO.
For me kennys is a phenom. The guy never was the best player. But for sure the best player to watch. His skill was visual for fans. You could really imagine yourself doing this stuff in your dreams. Same is for scream
Thankyou thooorin for bringing cs2's "peoples professor" to the limelight. He has such a good read on the community while keeping his opinion his own. ❤
For me, the dev1ce vs. s1mple point for GOAT comes down to this... I think s1mple could do what dev1ce does with the right elements around him, I don't think that it would be the same the other way around if dev1ce was forced into positions where the only way to win games was playing insane rotations like s1mple. We got to see him slow down in that beastmode Na'Vi roster before the war in Ukraine.
Good point but tbh here i dont think S1mple could play like Dev1ce and vice versa. S1mple is like KennyS where he will just walk into a site and quickscope 3 people while Dev1ce would never play like that
@@jaysunzow in my opinion, these are the players with the most recognizable names. You ask a random cs2 player if they've heard of KennyS, they probably have. If you ask a random cs2 player if theyve heatd of zywoo, probably not.
@@Jerome-iwnl Factually and verifiably wrong. CS2 players have heard of the ZywOo, I see a lot of "ZywOoPEEK" nicknames everywhere for instance. He's just the best player to have ever touch CS, saying CS2 players have not heard of him is ludicrous.
@@Jerome-iwnl So no argument? Expected from anti ZywOo. Reality is ZywOo is alongside simple, shox, KennyS and all the other legends of the game. Saying no CS2 players know who is ZywOo is at best delusional. CS lives from its professional scene and ZywOo is the best player we've seen since CS was created. He is a super star and of course famous.
I mean sure guardian had one more top 20 appearance but kenny was above him one every one of those lists except 2015. He was also still really good in 2019 and first half of 2020(I'd argue, a top 10-15 player even) until he dropped off. I wouldn't really say that guardian outlasted him
is it me or is olofmeister a bit of a boring player like u see it at the end of the game "oh wow olof has 32 kills" but u can never remember them. can u remember a single olof kill ? but try guardian...u can see the flick i remember a guardian flick.

launders is a very good partner to thorin they play off each other very well.
Can’t agree more and well said.
I agree, they should make more content together.
Honestly they’re two of the best when it comes to talking about cs
lau is just one of the best people to listen to talk cs tbh.
i (joe budden) invented swag
Pretty sure daZed and steel invented swag 😉
unban him
putting supermodels in a cab

Launders is a gift to the scene. Wouldn't be the same without him
JWs biggest impact was always the entertainment. He's one of the few pros who actually admit that they are primarily entertainers and god did he play that role well.
If Thorin could get an interview with Device, Simple, and Zywoo together on a discussion regarding accolades and being number 1, that would be insane
they would definitely. be very humble.
One of Thorin's best episode still is gla1ve and karrigan sitting down and talking about their way of igling
2:33 - when you (miraculously) hit an outrageous AWP flick, who's name do you call?
KennyS is the "Kobe" of crazy AWP shots. I'm pretty sure I've heard s1mple and other elite AWPers jokingly say "KennyS" before/after shots.
1:30 in and launders setting up to bring the heat! This one’s gonna be fun haha. Thanks guys :)
great vid didn't feel like 50 minutes with how great the conversation was!

would love this

never would have stopped playing 1.6 (for nostalgia and the sick zombie mods) if it wasnt for kennyS highlights in csgo
This is going to be a very fun one, thanks for the amazing content!
we need more Thorin x Launders content
Banger video and loved the rock paper scissors discussion

Perfect pairing

More launders please
Rapha, the greatest FPS gamer of all time. Not a single soul comes close.
Love me some launders
Can anyone link the Carmac and Rapha video launders is talking about @20:54?
th-cam.com/video/2umeukv_22g/w-d-xo.html
can't find any other vids with higher quality
thank you!@@felicosantosa8400
Cultural impact is my favorite metric to elevate the players I like and undermine the ones you like :) I love it.
I love the Flash shout-out
Thorin could you do a reflections with Niko, i watch all your podcasts, keep up the good work broski❤
Straight fire! :D
Kenny fallen deve sample
Markeloff should be the George Washington of awpers. The first truly dominant aggressive awper
I am launders biggest fan
Straight cultural banger! 😂
To me, the most famous csgo players are:
KennyS, Get Right, S1mple, Olofmeister, Stewie2k, Scream, Pashabiceps, Shox, Coldzera, Fallen
if csgo ended in 2016 yea this would be true
@@jaysunzow in my opinion, these are the players with the most recognizable names.
You ask a random cs2 player if they've heard of KennyS, they probably have.

was launders not around for Ksharp in 1.6 lol - ksharp was the OG. wish it was all of cs and not just GO

Yeah people really underestimate late 2019 early 2020 kenny s, was a top 5 awper during that time.
@@d.cirovic1695 100% he was so robbed in 2019, absolutely should've made it considering the stats and how hard he carried
is it me or is olofmeister a bit of a boring player
like u see it at the end of the game
"oh wow olof has 32 kills"
but u can never remember them.
can u remember a single olof kill ?
but try guardian...u can see the flick
i remember a guardian flick.
Wait has Buttpounder left the Skrilluminati?
Please do more timestamps on these podcasts. Very lacking those
Launders talking about Joe budden podcast. Lost all credibility for me.
