How a Bottom-Fragging IGL Became the GigaChad of CS:GO
ฝัง

- In Counter-Strike, being an in-game-leader on a top roster is difficult.
You spend so much time thinking about the other side that your own fragging can take a back seat. But when you don’t put up the stats your fans expect, they can get vicious.
Every team wants an IGL who can frag, but there are only so many seasoned veterans with brilliant minds and cracked aim to go around, so some teams have had to get creative.
Enter Rasmus “HooXi” Nielsen, a man who by all accounts, is not the mythical fragging IGL. In fact, he spent several important games on G2 at the bottom of the server.

He was such a gigachad that he lost the qualifiers on purpose to save strats for the next major.
that's some Zeus' strats here
He predicted that this would be L major
Skipped major to prac Anubis
He literally missed NOTHING
Nah G2 cs fans do NOT get on the strat saving copium that shit is like black tar heroin lmao sincerely a g2 r6 fan
I'm telling you, HooXi is as cracked as he is jacked. I saw him at a 7-11 the other day and he was buying cases of Redbull and adult diapers. I asked him what the diapers were for and he said, "they help contain my full power so I don't completely shit on these kids" and then he bunny hopped out the door.
Taxi2g
damn he didn't even pay, just bhopped the shit out of there
@@MrA6060 He was So GIGACHAD he showed off his KD and that was enough payment
It's so funny that I imagined him bhopping out there 😂😂
made me tear up such a beautiful man
"What makes you think you're a better IGL than me?"
"Shut the fuck up Nik0."
*"You're Hired"*
that confidence enough is good for an igl
got caught off guard there lol
this is insane... I read this comment before watching that part of the video and then thought it was your joke. Then I thought "man it would be cool if G2 actually did this sketch" but then thought "nah, Niko isnt the type of guy to laugh about himself so itll never happen" and then I see its part of the video and they ACTUALLY DID THAT.
@@DJ-ov2it Niko isnt as bad as csgo community say so.
Niko is just fine as far as I know.
@@DJ-ov2it
you should see the whole piece ))
Hooxi purposely skipped the major to give other teams a chance to win, such a humble character
and he won blast finals😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎
This comment aged well with blast world finals lul
@@aleksandergolembka8659 He won Blast World Finals to give motivation to his team that he can win if he chooses. Truly an inspiring leader
more money on blast, no time to play for such low amount of money
@@xxtoxii9615 cope
I've seen Hooxi play, he doesn't even use a monitor. He visualizes the map in a detailed rendering, completely in his mind. He has a biological wallhack; his godlike perception highlights all enemies within light-years. His eyes are closed as his mouse gracefully swerves across the table, making immaculate twitches as he flicks from head to head.
that is very true i was the mouse
i was the keyboard can confirm
Who is Hooxi? For the blind, He is the vision. For the hungry, He is the chef. For the thirsty, He is the water. If Hooxi thinks, I agree. If Hooxi speaks, I’m listening. If Hooxi has one fan, it is me. If Hooxi has no fans, I don’t exist.
Thought we'd find you here😂
i watch major for crazy tactic and mechanic aim, not for some phytagoras napoleon shit

im basically crying listening to this, so beautiful
for some reason this version leaves out "if hooxi has a lot of fans, I am one of them"
Watching this after he led G2 to win the world finals is just fantastic.
its HooXi's World
Watching this as they almost have the second longest unbeaten map streak makes me even happier
Watching this after winning second tier 1 event in a row and getting top 1 hltv is perfect
Watching this after IEM Cologne 2023 is just fantastic
Hooxi knew rio major gonna be underdog run so he didnt want to waste his time by playing at it.
I kinda like hooxi’s positive demeanor. He seems like a nice guy
Doesn’t make him a good player
@@qmathew9900 where in my comment I said he was a good player?
Agreed. He is a nice guy.
@@qmathew9900 Don't worry, Hooxi won't be giving you water
@@qmathew9900 POV: You have poor eyesight
I loved the part where he went "It's hooxin' time" and started hooxing everywhere, truly a moment of all time
Loved that moment
Truly a hooxy moment
Came here after HOOXI Gigachad won the blast world final tournament.
Katowice as well)
@@vacanter9855 here comes Cologne doo doo doo doo
He is so Gigachad he got the community to love him without becoming a star fragger or putting out many highlights, what an absolute Gigachad of a man Hooxi is
I like that one time where the NaVi vs Heroic game went into a 2h tech pause and the casters just called HooXi in the middle of the night and he actually came to talk with them a bit. That was a real Gigachad moment
When Karrigan won the major, he was fragging well. Gla1ve throughout his success at Astralis was a fragging IGL. But HooXi is a bigger legend and he will pick up a major going 2-13 every map.
He has to get to the major first
@@michnasss9433 it’s called saving strats. Look it up.
@@michnasss9433 Hooxi knew everybody would call this major a fluke cause all the top teams would be eliminated early, so he chose to save his energy and not go.
Hooxi is the player everyone shits on. But when hes dead he can see the game better. He can make the calls that need making and pushing the better fraggers into positions he knows they can win. The IGL is the one who has to see the whole game process all the callouts, design the strats but not set strats ones that can be adapted to use all other players in all positions which makes his strats hard to read and dismantle. That is how g2 won blast world finals. Hooxi the underdog the guy players over look but the one who has the biggest impact.
i was thinking this, his usefulness doesn't end with his death, he's still calmly guiding his teammates through their encounters and observing every player in the match regardless if he's alive or dead.
I remember as a young kid playing CS 1.6 (17 years ago lol) when I met a guy who blew my mind. He was our IGL. He played insanely aggressively at the beginning of the round and basically suicided just to get the info and then tell everybody what to do all the time. I had never thought of the game that way before. We broke top4 in Italy at the time, played in tournaments etc. so yeah, it worked for us. And apparently it's still working :D
4 guys with all aim and no brain need a guy with brain to tell them when to stp and when to go. its really that simple. if you can get 60adr on top of that you have a good team. if you can get 60adr half the time and 100adr the other half of the games you can be world champions.
would be nice to see a video covering hooxi's journey to win blast premier world final 2022
Look where they are now, FREAKING LOOK WHERE THEY ARE NOW WITH HIM. No 1 team in the world, beating teams like Faze and Navi back to back to back.
Ignoring the meme. He has created the strongest G2 we have ever seen. Everyone in the team are performing at their best. All hail………
Back when I actively played csgo I used to IGL for my little team of friends.
We were all level 8-10 on faceit and did some pugging and small open tourneys.
I almost always bottomed the fuck out the game. BUT I ALWAYS dropped my team mates guns while using a p250 myself.
I was rather strict, but gave a lot of freedom. That's what worked best for us.
I spend a lot of time on watching demos and around 3-4 hours a day just pacticing nades. (Found some things even pro's don't use/know)
We did really good for a while, but then they started to get mad at me for not fragging.
I played IGL/support so I don't know what they expected of me.
Then they decided to vote me out, replace me with a new IGL, and they lost EVERYTHING since.
They wanted to have me back because what we did worked out real well, but they've shown how much they care about me as a person/player so I told them to fuck off and quit csgo all together
how to aim good
@@abhinav4095 It's not about aim. It's about not being able to full focus on your own game because you have a team to steer. When you're an entry you simply go in first. If you kill someone it's good, if you don't you relay info to your team mates and the second entry (support player usually) comes in to clean up.
It's rather clear that you have no clue how anything above level 3 works
just find a different team then
"i dont need to frag to win"
frags anyways
GIGACHAD
Who's here after G2's Blast World Final win?
hooxi is like me, bottom fragging but i sometimes hit super cool shots and sometimes get kills
He just like you Frfr 💯
Now g2 won world final and katowice and made a record of the second longest won streak.
He is such a giga that even the major fears him
Hooxi has also become an amazing fixture in player commentary at this point. If he ever decides that stomping on the pro CS scene is getting too easy and boring for him, he will probably always have a job as an analyst. Dude's charismatic and genuinely good at it and has provided a lot of the most interesting insights into professional strategies as an insider.
The man delivered G2 their first major LAN trophy, that alone cements his pedigree as an Igl. And to be fair to him, his fragging has massively improved as well.
and now Kato as well
who knew he is going to be absolute master class and will able to win Katowice and cologne at the same year 🔥 GIGACHAD fr
And now he's just smacking tier 1 teams left and right. It was the right choice to keep him 4 sure!
100% I agree. He has created a system to allow the heavy hitting stars to shine.
And now they became champions
It's Hooxi's world and we're just living in it
Well, 2 months now, and I say with LEGIT confidence that HooXi is the best player I have seen. G2 is UNDEFEATED in 2023, and HooXi is just performing so good right now. He plays entry, AWP, and whatever he needs to do. Without joking, HooXi is the GIGACHAD of CS:GO.
Update: they won the IEM
@@aayzee3138 YES GG EZ
Hooxi skipping major to give other teams chance
there's over 7000 languages in the world and my man chose to speak fax!!!
@@l1ghtn1ng50 are there that many languages?
@@brownbreadinc127 idk, google said 7100 :)
Hooxi is surrounded by 4 players who can easily all be top 10 players under the right circumstances, kind of like Karrigan with FaZe or Boombl4 with Navi. I just wanna see them succeed man, there's too much firepower for them to not be a title contender...
GigaChad begins era of dominance today
Checking this after Cologne feels good
imagine the igl of the winning team for cologne 2023 losing to vitality in semifinals in gamers8
the enthusiam he has is absolutely the best part. Always has a smile on his face
"Fuck you Niko."
"You're hired."
"hell year it is" - interviewer at the end
I loved this video, lol. I have never heard of Hooxi before. And now I will never forget him.
The HooXi meme reminds of Canadian’s “I’m old as shit with the worse gun in the game” pop off
And now the gigachad won the blast world final and the Katowice and the major soon
I definitely agree that theoretically an IGL could kill no one and his team could win consistently. Fragging is a bonus.
Ah. That POSITIVE VIBE. Respect for Hooxi.
GigaChad 200%
The best part is that Hooxi genuinely has started improving as a fragger. Other than Major qualifiers G2 hasn’t looked particularly bad. They still lose close matchups but the roster feels like it has more potential than before. Hopefully something can come from it, because I for one would love to see the meme king succeed.
I’m so happy that Hooxi is achieving great things. I love his personality and IGL style.
Not gonna talk Sexter who carried Mouz into play offs and leads an accademy squad into 3rd at a Major.
G2 is genuinely better with hooxi (and jks). They had a bad RMR but even then it was a bo1 close loss to c9, then another bo1 loss before the bo3 loss, and after a really strong EPL where heading into their semi finals match with vitality they were, as a team, the highest rated team in the event, after that I am willing to chop the RMR up to a bad few games at the wrong time. I hope they do well in blast fall finals and make it to the world finals so we can see more of them (and ofc the gigachad himself)
g2 was better with aleksi
@@albaniqn I honestly disagree, between Nexa and Hooxi, G2 as a team played aweful, even if there was individual performance, Nexa and Hooxi have a lot in common when it comes to igl playstyle and team tactics. Aleksi is a great igl, don't get me wrong, but he wasn't a good fit for G2, Nexa and Hooxi are much better fits for G2
aaaaand they bombed out from fall finals beating only tier 43 brazilian rejects… LMAO
@@iamrightyouarewrong6730 to be fair so did Navi but yeah lol
holy copium
WHO IS A JOKE NOW? FIRST GIGACHAD'S TITLE, 100 YET TO COME
honestly ill never understand why pros can get so much hate like early hooxi did. like hes up there playing on a pro team and you arnt bro
It’s internet bro people will hate on anything cause it’s easy to do
How i love this pops up to me right after G2 dominate IEM katowice. So well done Hooxi!!
Hooxi at the bottom of the scoreboard is a GIGACHAD and at the top of the scoreboard he is a GIGACHAD, he even drinks sparkling water because he is a GIGACHAD
he's such a gigachad he skipped a major to prepare for the next major
It's Hooxi's world.
We all want to say Hooxi is bad but we all forget he's still better than most of us can ever dream of being
I still miss aleksi but watching him on NIP made me realize how big of a fan i am of all these dudes
It would not be a theScore esports video without a fl0m clip in there
Hooxi: I don't need to frag
Frags anyway
Refuses to elaborate further
Leaves
watching this after the Blast world final make me feel a different way
That was the most beautiful invitation for a sub...you just got it
waiting for new hooxi vid
I liked hooxi before, but after IEM cologne he is now one of my favorite IGLs of all time
I think Niko and Hunter is the firepower for G2 for now. Monesy needs to stay consistent but it surely getting there
HooXi is the type of guy to be asked weather he wants a Fac New Dragonlore with 4 iBuyPower stickers or a Battle-Scarred Atheris and buy the Atheris because he thinks the Dragonlore is ugly
Actual legend
Wot are you on about I didn't understand a single thing you said
@@anujpartihar I don't understand your username what of it
@@anujpartihar AWP (weapon in csgo) Dragon Lore with the least wear and tear on it (factory new) along with ibuypower decals on the gun are two of the most expensive items in the game in their categories (gun skins and decals respectively) and on the other hand, Atheris in its most worn out condition is one of the most cheapest skins in the game. The joke is that Hooxi is such a big giga chad that he would choose a cheap ass item over the most expensive combination of items in the game. And also that he thinks that this expensive item is ugly, which is a controversial thing to say in the CSGO community. I hope i explained it well enough.
I have to imagine that Rip And Tear or BFG Division is blaring in HooXi’s headphones at all times
FINALLY THE VIDEO I WAS WAITING MY WHOLE LIFE
another classic w by the gigachad himself
"What makes you think you'll be better igl than me-"
"Shut the fuck up"
He has written history ever since
Thanks to G2 missing the Rio Major. This Hooxi meme finally died.
G2 died
probably just paused, i hope its gonna come back for at least another like 3 months
it'll be back at blast
L meme
HooXi meme never dies
Who's here after G2 won the world final
👇🏼
"deeply negative" dude 19/22
theScore esports needs to make an update on Hooxi right now for the Gigachad
bro this video made me love Hooxi
When I heard the "Shut up neeko" clip I knew I liked this guy already lol
Watching this, I not only learned about who the heck Hooxi is, but I’m also scared as f*ck about his hidden power level.
Here before they win Katowice 3:0 against Heroic in grand finals
So who is here after g2 won the blast world finals
And still the only igl to lead g2 to a championship…
GIGACHAD.
Watching this after he single handedly won G2 blast world finals and IEM Katowice just shows how much of a Gigachad Hooxi really is!
And now IEM cologne!
Yep, it was hooxi then. Now he is top1 🥰
Now Hooxi's G2 is on fire... :D
18:28 And look it now...just the perfec IGL.
I just fell into hooxis eyes goddamn
HooXi looked Cs community in the eyes and said i maybe a bottom fragger but we will win this shit
To be fair his aim has gotten so much better throughout tournaments his calling especially in T-side is godlike honestly his brain is so big he can actually achieve karrigan like status if they keep him and let him develop, from a meme to top 5 igl this season for me
If Hooxi has a million fans, then I am one of them. If Hooxi has ten fans, then I am one of them. If Hooxi has only one fan then that is me. If Hooxi has no fans, then that means I am no longer on earth. If the world is against Hooxi , then I am against the world.
Gigachad Hooxi. Who else knocked out Niko before the major? Only Gigachad can do it.
Cute pfp
@@ixlalater not so cute anime tho :)
@@tkyooh194 which anime?
@@ixlalater Summertime Render!
So this guy won Blast World Finals and now IEM Katowice
Tbh gigachad hooxi came to stay my team still calls the long cuby on inferno "hooxi"
“Do as I say not as I do”
Bro spent the past 2 months on deathmatch. He was 2 kills under Monesy and 1 kill under hunter vs liquid.
the matches against Gamer Legion really caught everyone off guard during RMR
They should update this even greater gigachad
Gigachad: *gets a documentary about himself*
Hooxi is my spirit animal csgo player
Hooxi is such a gigachad that he farms participation trophy on every match
Finally! the video everybody had waited for...
ALEKSIB GOATED. they weren't floundering, they were giving the opposition some siima.
But never pulled the matto alta
@@ThatAs1anMan didnt get the chance.
Watching this after G2 being 1st in the world and winning 2 big events world final and IEM katowice, not forgetting they break the world recod of 22 map wins in a row to be in the 2nd place of that matter is just something out of this world
Grats for 2mil dudes & dudettes, your editor also probably needs a raise.
Oh and HooXi is just playing chess with CS:GO. Really intelligent player.
Hooxi just led G2 and male history 21 maps win streak beating Navi with 19 maps win streak
16:30 Hooxi played like someone who grinded retakes non stop.
