Hiko, one of the loveliest pros. I also like that he always said he thought all those gambling sites are shady as fuck and that he would never become a sellout to them, even though they probably offered him tons of money.
But, Thorin, man, think of the banter! Banter in English, banter in Ukrainian? C'mon, man. For the banter! And then for us for our own selfish reasons of being ignorantly entertained!
The way he describes the Russian/Ukranian callouts, made me realize just how smart that is. Like you wouldn't have to correct yourself, you can just call the quadrant you think they're in and your teammate's thoughts would adjust accordingly. Like Hiko said I never even thought of that as a possibility. Pretty cool way of calling things.
I JUST watched the first episode of reflections with Hiko and thought 'Man, a 2nd appearance would be a really interesting video'. Thorin, thanks for reading my mind.
Great video, took me 2 days to watch the whole thing because of my schedule, keep up the good work thooorin and i wish the best of luck to hiko, pimp, liquid and s1mple
Can we get a relections with Semphis? Seems like it would be a good one considering you've done one with SGares, Hiko, Dazed. And those are all guys who his career has been parallel to and would be interesting to get his thoughts on the stuff they have made comments on, and so forth.
bds Personally, I'm not entirely sure. I think Ska's slump was a lack of motivation, but I don't think he would've had one with Hiko on the team. I'm not sure why I think that, but that's what believe.
When he was talking about s1mple yelling at him for dying at the 59min mark, wow, and saying “that was way worse than even dazed was “ fucking hilarious
He wasn't even the best, with s1mple on his team and with how Pimp has been in the past, I'm not sure he will be the best on the current team. Not sure hes a top 10 player, but I definitely think hes underrated on what he brings to the team and contributes inside and outside the game, which I believe brought liquid a lot of there success.
Dakota Plasterer S1mple is so inconsistent though. Anyway Hiko's strength isn't to be that mad fragger like s1mple, but an emotional cornerstone that keeps his cool no matter what. No player in the world right now is so consistently good at clutches :)
+Bilbo I definitely agree with you on hikos strenght and that he brings the team together. and helps unlock s1mple and is a grwat clutch player. i would still have to disagree with him being a tier one player, especially when comparing him to coldzera, guardian and other players that you mentioned along with s1mple.
NA Power Team: Skadoodle Hiko DaZeD Swag S1mple replacing AZK because Overwatch granted Swag would join C9, Skadoodle would stay with C9, Hiko doesn't wanna leave Liquid, but it's nice to imagine if this happened.
Great Video, really good Interview. Enjoyed watching and listening to Hiko. Just something for you Thorin: After Hiko answering you say a lot of times : OK! Sure! , i can see in your eyes you are preparing the next question :-) (really Kraut-english sry!)
14:35 You can tell here that thorin was about to laugh when Hiko said ''AdreN in-game leading, what could go wrong'' but then he realised that it wasn't actually a joke and kept his composure :P
Thorin, that's not how it works. If you have an interest for something, your brain just really really wants to satisfy that interest. And sleeping while you have a desire to watch something that you're really interested in, is virtually impossible for some people. It might be borderline obsessive behaviour, but you know... this is fascinating stuff :D
Strange that thorin didn't really talk about Pimp since he seemed to be a fan of him previously. Hiko talked about him and thorin was just like meh lol. I remember thorin talking about pimp going to the SK lineup after dignitas as if he felt bad for him and didn't want him to disappear into the abysss :( Either way huge fan of this new Liquid lineup, hiko has done well. Shows that patience really pays off, never give up because you may end up achieving more than you ever thought you could under completely different circumstances than you previously wish you had.
changing simple to Pimp is like changing ur Ferrarri to an old mercedez benz that ur parents were driving back in the day thts the skill difference between those 2
ofcourse playing in liquid any player will raise their rating but he will not be as good as simple and will not carry them to any semifinals or further
Thorin probably won't see this question but I'll ask it anyways. What will happen to Starix and Na'Vi now that Valve has said (according to FalleN) that the coach has to be an in game player? Do you think Starix will replace a player or will he be dropped or moved to manager or some other position?
If valve does that fuck valve, but if it happens navi will lose some of their style with Starix losing the position, but I highly believe he would retire.

*sees Hiko*
*sees video length*
Dis gon b gud
U know it
All of the 'reflections' are amazing.
I feel s1mple will come up a lot in this video
check the description
he did
we need a S1mple interview now
He cant speak English
That's just incorrect. There are multiple videos of him in interviews and in twitch speaking English.
OR, make an interview in which he speaks russian and thoorin gets a translator. worked for cypher lol
no point s1mple's english is very good
+TheIrishGlitch He played on an english speaking team for months, are you dense?
Thorin please do interview with s1mple.I think whole community wants to see that.
Almost 3 hours with Hiko, this has to be purrfect
Hiko, one of the loveliest pros. I also like that he always said he thought all those gambling sites are shady as fuck and that he would never become a sellout to them, even though they probably offered him tons of money.
both of my daddies
that ending 8/8
Im proud of myself watching the whole video.
Hah, same. It helps that this was a super interesting interview :p
Nerd
HIKO ARE YOU KIDDING ME! LOVE IT
Shit, by the end of this one my aim might actually not suck
mine did, i overdid it :Ccccccccccccc
what did hiko say about aim? might have missed that part
I think he means he DM's while watching the video
They're talking about DM'ing while listening to this video
I dont get it lol
2 hours 40 minutes? My body is ready.
Reflections' with Swag
thorin plsss
prob doesn't have the balls for it
YES
It wouldn't be a very long interview
great thought, but SWAG is not the interview type ya know? He doesn't really give a fuck to story tell and reminisce about shit
LOL TARIK AT THE END HOLY GOD AHAHHAHAHA
and thorin in the reflection wearing a hiko hat LMAO.
You really should make a reflections video with TaZ. I'd love to watch it
There is so much shit to talk about it could take 2 videos if not more
I'd dig that....also Reflections with Neo!
definitely Taz or neo reflections would be sick to watch
HYPE!!!!
Massive respect for Hiko. He's a great guy AND has the winners mentality.
Tarik plot twist at the end, best team in the world? I aren't think that.
Read that last sentence back.
TaeZer It's a meme. Or what do you mean?
Rapid I am not up to date enough on the memes. I do kinda remember Turok saying some stupid ass shit, but I must've missed that one. My bad.
TaeZer No problem, don't know where it originated from either. I just like saying it and know it's a meme.
+Rapid hltv some dumbass with bad london said it
'Reflections' with Shara
He's too busy doing a Wile Coyote :>
+Thooorin Rip boys
But, Thorin, man, think of the banter! Banter in English, banter in Ukrainian? C'mon, man. For the banter! And then for us for our own selfish reasons of being ignorantly entertained!
34-10 never forget
The way he describes the Russian/Ukranian callouts, made me realize just how smart that is.

Quality, well worth listening to
Just went to check if you uploaded this! Good timing i guess
LUL the ending
I JUST watched the first episode of reflections with Hiko and thought 'Man, a 2nd appearance would be a really interesting video'. Thorin, thanks for reading my mind.
Great video, took me 2 days to watch the whole thing because of my schedule, keep up the good work thooorin and i wish the best of luck to hiko, pimp, liquid and s1mple
just finished watching a another Hiko interview, and saw this and was like just in time.
If you asked about the timeouts that were so crucial in the ESL one cologne run that would've been sick! Great interview
I have to keep coming back and watching this piece by piece due to the length but really liking it so far I am at about an hour in.
That bit at the tail end on the video almost makes me want to cry. What a use of a clip, holy shit.
Quality insight I watched the whole thing.
The video was uploaded 16 mins ago????????
i dont think so twenty minutes After the vid was released
Great questions as always Thoorin. Amazing interview
I'm ready, two of my most favourite people in the scene
First Reflections video that I have watched fully. Great video!
i remember something like "10 minutes Short of interstellar".. thats how i like it. Thanks Spencer &thorin
Can we get a relections with Semphis? Seems like it would be a good one considering you've done one with SGares, Hiko, Dazed. And those are all guys who his career has been parallel to and would be interesting to get his thoughts on the stuff they have made comments on, and so forth.
Another quality reflections. Always enjoy these CSGO ones.
S1mple and Hiko are the ultimate bros. In a good way. God I want them to stay in the same team.
You Europeans merely adopted Dust 2. We were born in it, molded by it. We didn't even see other maps until we went top 2 at a major
Listened from and to work, great topics!
The end was golden, omg i love you thorin!!!
i cant believe i actually watched it all lol, big interview!
I love how Tarik is at the end and you're wearing a Hiko hat hahahaha!
I have waited whole week for dis shiz, gon b gud.
holy shit 85th episode? I've got some watching to do!
just add an AlphaDraft intro , and u get an Oscar nomination for this movie
Lel
3 hour video? Fuck tha..... wait... Thooorin and Hiko? No one talk to me for 3 hours!
God I wanted Ska and Hiko on a team together soooo bad, wish it could have happened
+bds Currently, yes, but back then, Skadoodle was literally contesting for best awper in general.
bds Personally, I'm not entirely sure. I think Ska's slump was a lack of motivation, but I don't think he would've had one with Hiko on the team. I'm not sure why I think that, but that's what believe.
Skadoodle is Anakin, JDM is Luke
and if IBP weren't banned
thorin always gets the epic interviews !!!
Late af, but I'm so excited to watch this!!!!! :)
Reflections with s1mple??
Thorin, what is the white box under "Reflections"? It has been there for a few "Reflections" videos.
Probably where the AD logo was or something
Was wondering the same, hard to look away now.
***** Someone get Thorin a new overlay! ASAP!
pretty sure its a spot for sponsors.
turn annotations on
keep up with the reflections. awesome content
that ending was straight savage
great video, watched the whole thing
I was just thinking a week ago this would be and may be a great interview with hiko' recent success
Love these kind of videos! pls do with more players. Early biography!
i literally watched the other hiko video like 2 days ago. n i c e
great video as always :)
That outro has to be the sickest burn Thorin ever delivered.
the end is perfect!!
Fantastic video definitely worth it to watch the whole thing. Then again I'm kinda biased since I love Thorin, Hiko and s1mple :P
fav NA player! GO Hiko !
Speaking of Reflections... can see Thorin is wearing a Hiko hat in the last clip. Lord Thorin knew this day would happen
thorin makes the best videos on this whole site
Reflections with s1mple, its gotta happen
When he was talking about s1mple yelling at him for dying at the 59min mark, wow, and saying “that was way worse than even dazed was “ fucking hilarious
Great interview , had fun watching it.
For the laughs of it , @Thooorin , invite Flusha for interview and lets talk cheats ! haha
Does Thoorin always have some sort of cold or illness? Always has a sick sounding cough.
Hiko is such an underrated player. Imo he's top 5 in the world right now along with Dennis, Fallen, Shoxie, and Niko.
He wasn't even the best, with s1mple on his team and with how Pimp has been in the past, I'm not sure he will be the best on the current team. Not sure hes a top 10 player, but I definitely think hes underrated on what he brings to the team and contributes inside and outside the game, which I believe brought liquid a lot of there success.
you don't know shit
Dakota Plasterer
S1mple is so inconsistent though. Anyway Hiko's strength isn't to be that mad fragger like s1mple, but an emotional cornerstone that keeps his cool no matter what. No player in the world right now is so consistently good at clutches :)
+Bilbo I definitely agree with you on hikos strenght and that he brings the team together. and helps unlock s1mple and is a grwat clutch player. i would still have to disagree with him being a tier one player, especially when comparing him to coldzera, guardian and other players that you mentioned along with s1mple.
shout out to anyone who watched the final 10 seconds of the video...youre a savage thorin!
interesting to have a reflections with maikelele
HIKO ARE YOU KIDDING ME!!! inhuman 'reflections'
Watch all the way through guys, big surprises, and giveaways throughout the video!
Liquid is what NA needs. Hardworking and willing to sacrifice.
Very good video. Watched it all
hmm.. i can smell the truthh
now THIS is what i need when i'm grinding xp at 4am
lol so savage at the end there with tarik xD 2:38:53
Tarik at the end just absoutly killed it for me haha
Do you think you'll ever do another one of these with DaZeD?
The ending actually killed me.
what can I say, he's a s1mple man
Nice picture
2 hours of hiko and thoorin lol heaven
NA Power Team:
Skadoodle
Hiko
DaZeD
Swag
S1mple replacing AZK because Overwatch
granted Swag would join C9, Skadoodle would stay with C9, Hiko doesn't wanna leave Liquid, but it's nice to imagine if this happened.
Jeremy Borrero I feel like JDM got the aim while Ska has the brain and movement
Ska's skill ceiling is much higher than JDMs
and by no means am I saying JDM is bad, I just believe Ska is better and there is a lot to account for when saying this
+Lanesh Do you value rare peaks instead of great consistency?
hiko was still on c9 when i started getting into csgo, its been a mad year and a half.
Great Video, really good Interview. Enjoyed watching and listening to Hiko. Just something for you Thorin: After Hiko answering you say a lot of times : OK! Sure! , i can see in your eyes you are preparing the next question :-) (really Kraut-english sry!)
1:05:21 the depths of the Hiko X s1mple bromance is revealed
The feeling When u see a thorin video pop up while ur listening to mobb deep
My name is Tarik, and we will be the best team in 2016. Welcome to Thoorins TH-cam channel
I take it that outro with Tarik was recorded before JDM left
14:35 You can tell here that thorin was about to laugh when Hiko said ''AdreN in-game leading, what could go wrong'' but then he realised that it wasn't actually a joke and kept his composure :P
Pls do a reflections with a navi player! Maybe starix or Zeus? Idk if their English will be the greatest but it would still be great to watch
ughhh I was gonna sleep..
same xD
The world doesn't go away when you sleep and neither does this video.
but if we cant see it it must not exist, right? well i think thats how it works anyway...
Thorin, that's not how it works. If you have an interest for something, your brain just really really wants to satisfy that interest. And sleeping while you have a desire to watch something that you're really interested in, is virtually impossible for some people. It might be borderline obsessive behaviour, but you know... this is fascinating stuff :D
Taric at the end....what a savage
A better use of my time than The Dark Knight Rises, good shit
THE ENDING LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL
that ending tho loooooooool
Strange that thorin didn't really talk about Pimp since he seemed to be a fan of him previously. Hiko talked about him and thorin was just like meh lol.

changing simple to Pimp is like changing ur Ferrarri to an old mercedez benz that ur parents were driving back in the day thts the skill difference between those 2
marked150 Dude Pimp will basically be the best player in NA... that comparison is stupid
ofcourse playing in liquid any player will raise their rating but he will not be as good as simple and will not carry them to any semifinals or further
first reflections i watched all the way through xD
Thorin probably won't see this question but I'll ask it anyways. What will happen to Starix and Na'Vi now that Valve has said (according to FalleN) that the coach has to be an in game player? Do you think Starix will replace a player or will he be dropped or moved to manager or some other position?
If valve does that fuck valve, but if it happens navi will lose some of their style with Starix losing the position, but I highly believe he would retire.
FalleN had no idea what you were talking about.
Where did you hear this
Most likely made it up like half the other shit people claim to have heard.
+Thooorin that would make no sense so He must have made that up
OH MY GAWD THORIN THAT ENDING, HAHAHAHAHA! YOU'RE SUCH A MONSTER!
'they dont want to out, pug us '-H1KO
I am a s1mple man. I see Hiko, I click like.
