    I think that if Zywoo keeps performing, over time he could become indisputably the goat, but as things stand right now, we just need to see more.

    Zywoo has a trait which no one else has on the same level. intuition, he always guesses right those 50-50 moments and the way he constructs the rounds in his mind before they play out is mind blowing. We tend to say that he has Wall hack in his eyes (:D) Truly a mastermind of cs.

    • @Augenhose
      @Augenhose ปีที่แล้ว +5

      I think ZywOo plays incredibly smart, he invests a lot of time in knowing the timings from A to B in each map. Based on the timings it takes a player to move between different locations, he constructs a process of elimination in his mind. The impressive thing is, that he can compute this process of elimination very fast. That is his real talent.

    i think zywoo this year is the best zywoo we have ever seen and its not close. i think zywoo has a trait that nobody has to the same degree as him and thats that no matter what weapon he has, no matter how much hp he has, if you are running into him you are dying. i cant count how many times ive watched him have a deagle and seeing multiple players walking towards him and thinking "he gets 3 minimum" and then he actually gets 3. i personally think hes the scariest player of all time. that said he doesn't have the acheivements s1mple has. not to mention zywoo still has so many years to go and s1mple seems to be on the decline. i think when all is said and done zywoo will be ahead of s1mple.

    I feel like you somewhat undersold s1mples major run. Like I get what you are saying in that the pro scene had kind of a general dip during/after corona. But I just dont think the two major runs are that comparable.
    Vitality won all their BO3s against Tier 2 teams, and while that sobviously not their fault, it still feels kinda similar to Outsiders in Rio.
    Navi on the other side went into Stockholm as the Nr.1, beat every team ranked #2 to #6, 4 of which in BO3s, with the last game being against a #12 VirtusPro. And despite playing pretty much exclusively the best teams in the scene, he still somehow put up a 1.47 rating. That is just ridiculous.
    Meanwhile Zywoo "only" got a 1.39 rating in BO1s against the #4 and #9 and BO3s against #22, 23, 27 and 31. Its just not really comparable.

    Not a zywoo fan. But after watching tons of tournaments and playing cs for over 20 years I can honestly say: He is the most efficient, complete, smart, and overall perfect player there is, very similar to Messi, the guy seems to be a human wallhack, just like Messi seems to be able to see every player on the court even if he is blindfoleded. The only thing that he lacks is flashyness, s1mple, kennyS, m0nesy as awpers are way more flashy than him.
    I hope m0nesy becomes his kryptonite, I dont want to see an astralis type of boring ass dominance by vitality, I want to have a Messi vs CR7 type of new era in CS2. Heroic beat them yesterday, thank god, theyre not unstoppable, but Im 100% this is not peak zywoo.

    • @hsdfafgh8287

      Well, Zywoo is not flashy for many viewers because he is so smooth, so accurate, has such good positioning and preaim. His flicks are almost always controlled but fast enough to not give the opponents a chance. Thats why he so rarely misses and has bad games (even in bad bo3s he usually ends up with like 1.1+ rating like at blast where, imo at least, he didnt look like zywoo at all).

    I'm a s1mple fan so I'm obviously biased. But the way I look at it is, every year zywoo was #1, s1mple was right there with him (except maybe 2019) to the point it was basically a coin flip. But s1mple now has 2 years that are pretty far above any year zywoo has had. 2018 is the greatest individual year any player has had, and 2021 was the greatest year any player has had (achievements + individual play). He set the record for MVPs, rating at an S tier event, aces at an S tier event, and rating at a Major (and plenty more I'm sure). Zywoo has a great chance to be the CS GOAT if he continues his dominance in CS2, but s1mple at the current time has higher peak + longevity, so it's a no brainer for me.

    No-one is breaching s1mple 2019-21 form. It is probably the greatest peak of a CS player ever. The amount of recency bias in the community is insane, you can hate the guy but can't deny it's his no. and achievements. S1mple was carrying his team into playoffs and semis in his initial majors whereas a certain "Goat " still doesn't have a victory against the Top 17 teams in the playoffs in major.

    I think people are being blinded by HLTV rating when that metric doesn't mean shit. This whole year s1mple has just looked painfully average every time I watch him. He's either washed or in a huge slump because I can't distinguish his style from any other T1 awper at this point(with the exceptions of ZywOo and m0NESY). I don't see anything special when I watch s1mple anymore. It looks like he overoptimized his playstyle and just does the standard 'correct' play in every situation. I don't see him go for that many risky out of pocket plays anymore.

Also i think that even if major had “tier 2” opponent (even toh they beat t1 teams so i dont really get all the “fluke” major thing) they showed even in rio that they could beat good teams (heroic in grand final in rio), yesterday they beat faze 2 - 0 too so i dont think they really need to show off anymore even considered they dont have that much motivation for a tournament like spring finals when they have just won the major

    s1mple is very good but zywoo is definitely a goat, all the stats of the 2 players are very similar, but zywoo has a lot of disadvantages over s1mple in terms of language and teammates. If you are impressed with s1mple about flickshot then zywoo's ability to handle situations is much more impressive, in nearly every case his crosshair always places directly on the opponent's body in a very logical and convincing way. Even s1mple once said that he learned a lot from zywoo which is how to enjoy cs in every match. As a fan of s1mple I'm pretty sure I didn't learn anything from him because his reflexes are something I or you guys can never catch up , but zywoo is different we can learn and improve. our gamesens to another level

    I can see what your are saying but i think you also need to look at who is the better teamplayer, because if you have lets just say old astralis, and they won everything device was the star and all that but if xyp did all the util for device, and took the bad positions, kept the team happy, and just gave a overall god feeling i think that is just as important to do as killing, and if he would leave theey just started losing couldn't replace him that would mean that he was just as importen as the starplayer (in my eyes). Simple is known for being toxic and making his team just wanna quit or not thinking straight because they are scared of what simple will scream at them. Cs go is not only a individual game, it's a team game, so if like zywoo who is a better teamplayer (my opnion), ttheen i think that gives the edge to him because he gets the kills while making his team happy and not nervous about there own teamplayer

    I've watched prime coldzera, prime NiKo, prime s1mple and yet none of them comes close to ZywOo, for me. Because you can see that it isn't a skill that he developed overtime, I mean, it is, but it's a lot more natural for him. It's like he's connected to the game and makes it flow and easy, although it isn't easy. Besides his humbleness to know he's good but doesn't rub it off in his teammates' faces or become tilted at somebody. It's this combination that, for me, makes ZywOo the GOAT.
    s1mple is great but he lacks all of it that I just said.
    It's funny but if we can compare: Messi is ZywOo (the natural) and Ronaldo is s1mple (the hard worker)

    With Devices return and him showing still an amazing form, I can't help but wonder if this discussion of GOAT would be a three way conversation if he never left for NIP followed by his hiatus.
    Wasn't a fan of Astralis, Astralis+ Economy changes in CS made the meta less exciting in my opinion, but I feel like Device was an amazingly consistent player who did what was needed while remaining consistent+ ahead of the enemy just like Zwyoo and s1mple. Device was more of a safe player thus not seeming as flashy as the other 2, but I feel that comes from Astralis's structure/ playstyle. While his ratings aren't as flashy either, his pivotal role in the Astralis roster and their success would of been a large part of the discussion for his potential of GOAT if he stayed for me. Sadly because of those "what ifs" he isn't in the discussion/ competing for GOAT.

    I would argue that ZywOo is far better than S1mple. He was best player in the world in his FIRST 2 years as pro and this was WITH S1mple being around. Also he already won a major as well and is about to get his 3rd, top 1 player award in 2023. ZywOo is in his 5th pro year, so a fair 1-to-1 comparison would be seeing what S1mple had achieved at this time in 2020. S1mple for now might be the GOAT of CSGO, but ZywOo is above him in overall CS by the end of his career. Hell maybe even in 1-2 years. Also ZywOo's friendly and humble personality makes him a much more respectable GOAT of CS. My vote goes to him.

They actually began in CSGO by bringing in some older French players like Happy, who didn't stick around for long. Then, NBK left too, and who took their place? Fucking Misutaaa and Kyojin. So, it wasn't a top-tier, well-structured team from the get-go. Also who was simple with? Zeus an Blad3 so it´s not like they´re no namers too.

    Here's the thing though, we're lucky to have such incredible players overlap each other. We never really got peak cogu v peak Markeloff, or peak Markeloff v S1mple. I'm just thankful we get to see such exciting talent clash.
