this makes me not want to be a hater anymore
Incredible to hear your story, thank you for sharing this about yourself! You derserve everything you've achieved and I hope you'll be around the scene for a long time :) And I actually cried when Michael showed up, grown man btw :D
launders - the kind racist.
U are the best Launders!🌟
real
Laundy and Scrawners is my goat casting duo
One of the most beautiful things ever produced in CS, so glad these profiles are back
@@JJJR11 Exactly, that's one big reason why I think these are even better tbh.
True and real.
@@JJJR11 i am glad they are longer
I always knew launders was a real one. This confirms it though. Number 1 racist Lau.
He still just waffles during the true artist scrawny working his magic
Michael is a gift. Helping like that, during a period when kids need help, is amazing
@@Hanansen :) Mohan gave nothing but joy to my life. So proud of him.
When i see how one human can do so much, it makes me want to do something similar. What a way to do something meaningful with your life.
This is so heartwarming we love you launders. When Michael popped out I started crying
I ugly cried on the bus. Beautiful video. Thank you ESL & Launders for everything you do for the community.
Both Launders and Tom (the director) are esports heroes man. We're blessed to still have them.
Right back at yah mate
Lau was the first person that showed me it was possible to reach up in the world by doing what you love, watching his story now it only makes more sense. Cant think of a better person to be a GOAT in the CS scene, nothing but respect.
Common W duwap
yoo duwap
shoutout duwap, all my homies love duwap
duwap, you're my GOAT aswell
Usual duwap wisdom. We're waiting for your return big dog!
I'm not crying, you're crying 😭
Scrawny screaming the final trophy lift of CSGO and a quiet Launders "Hell yeah" is a truly iconic moment, great video.
I'm crying, when Michael arrived it was too much. Launders thank you for sharing this with the community. It takes a strong man to be this vulnerable in front of the world. Thank you to ESL for the amazing production. This transcends what we define as content.
Ive been watching launders for a long time all withouth knowing his background story. When Michael suprised him i litterally shedded a tear. WE love launders❤️
This video was so beautifully done. I’ve watched it multiple times and I still get teary-eyed when Michael walks up behind Launders. Even my wife, who isn’t a CS fan at all said that this video was very well done. Tom, Mohan and the rest of the crew that made this possible, thank you. Not only was this so humanizing but it was so very moving. ❤️
You mom is truely a gem ❤
As a son of two indian immigrants in germany myself I know the struggles of yours and especially those of our parents, they quit everything they had in their countries just for their kids to have a better childhood abroad. Respect on how you managed to pick yourself up from basically rock bottom by dropping out of school into becoming the GOATED CS caster duo with Scrawny 🔥
The scene where Michael showed up made me tear up, not gonna lie 🤧
An actual goated production
Launders mom is such a beautiful, kind, happy and overall positive soul! So radiant of positivity! Was a pleasure to listen to her and see her smile throughout all of topics she covered! Incredible!
"This is Counter-Strike" couldn't have said it better myself. it truly is a gift we have someone like launders in our scene, what an incredible human.
this was actually amazing, we're so lucky to have launders
This is actually a beautiful profile ❤️
Forget “this is one of the best TH-cam videos I’ve watched” this is such a well written and produced documentary I’ve seen
People like Michael are the greatest people in the world. Someone stepping up to be a father figure to those who dont have it can save lives. If it wasn't for my Dad's equivalent Michael, a man named Dave, I wouldn't be here. That man saved his life. True unsung heroes of the world
Holy fuck. Didn't think CS would have tears in my eyes. Always loved Launders. This was beautiful. Lovely to see he had such amazing people in his life to learn from in his amazing mother and Michael. What a video
Who ever is in charge of content at esl does an amazing job. From all the great skits at pro league to stuff like this. Insane
Incredible video, its so nice seeing Blast/ESL continue with the old "Player Profiles" that valve did but making them better
Teared up hard when Michael turned up
guys having tough times ,
you got this , never give up
May seem crazy to others outside of this community, but we're 2 for 2 on tears between this and Twistzz. Well done.
You are by far my most favourite Commentator. I even had to cry as your „older brother“ joined you. Greetings from Germany
Goated Caster
People don’t realize how much of an impact the big brother, big sister program had on people. Hearing launders talk about it brought me to tears thinking about when I was a kid in that program
Such a lovely little documentary. Really endearing to see Mohans mum and big bro being so supportive even through their own hardships.
This was so raw, so touching, so emotional. You have such a great mother and we really love and appreciate you. You've been with us through highs and lows of all of our lives while watching some of the greatest cs matches with us. You really are a gift.
Launders is one of the goats for sure. Thanks for the memories and hyperfixation on technical play for decades.
I cried FeelsStrongMan
Launders back story was something I didn't know I needed ❤ thanks ESL and Mohan
Tom you've created something incredible. This made me feel strong emotions for experiences that aren't personal to me and that takes one amazing storyteller to achieve.
Lau you're a champ
God how you just gonna hit me right in the feels man. I was just chilling out watching some CS now I’m all tearing up as shot. Damn you ESL but good job.
I got hit with amazing memories with the intro piece, it felt like the old pro profiles on older majors in CSGO. Beautiful video.
This is just beautiful - like Launders. A reminder that being a hard worker and good person pays off.
his mom is absolutely goated, supportive in everything. incredible story
I absolutely love Esports profiles, I love learning about the background of the pros etc. and I've watched every single CS, Halo, Cod and LoL Profile but this might be the best one. I cried like 5 times during this. His mom and Michael are so sweet
That was really sweet and touching. I really appreciate how it focused entirely on lau as a person and the cs is just a part of his life.
Michael showing up is nuts. Absolute cinema, had me in tears
This is profoundly beautiful and insightful. Thank you ESL, thank you Launders, and thank you Mama Launders. You are a beautiful family.
I'm so glad I got into CS scene, even though I only got here in 2018 which some would say is a little too late, but I fucking love this scene man, keep this kind of content coming
Please keep making these videos ESL, they are amazing!
I grew up watching the old valve CSGO player profiles and it inspired me to continue my journey in esports. Thank you ESL for continuing to highlight the amazing people who make this scene what it is.
I'm not crying; you're crying. What an amazing piece of content. Thank you so much for making this. I'm a dedicated launders fan now
shoutout to michael for being a real one and becoming a father like figure for many kids.
This content piece is actually crazy, so real, so emotional. Thank you so much, thank you launders what you are doing for the scene and happy that you found the path to make this scene as great as it is.
I don't usually comment on stuff and this prolly gonna be burried anyway, but ESL has been PUMPING out some absolutely amazing content in the last like two years. Gets me every single time with how good their production is and keeps getting better. Love this stuff, keep it up!
launders and his mom are real ones, i love these profile videos im glad there are back
This was beautiful… launders has been my favorite CS entity since 2020, always knew this guy was as down to earth as you can get, but man what a hard working individual. Good job launders, and thank you ESL for this amazing video
Sick production and touching story!
Incredible job by ESL. Saw this "live" and THAT moment had the chat going MENTAL. Absolute W. Thanks lau for sharing your story. Well done to everyone involved.
Well, I didn't expect to be tearing up watching a Launders CS2 Profile, but here I am. What an amazing production, but a better story.
The Production of this Series is beyong cinema, as a videographer myself, its so nice to see the love the whole team put into this. much love for y'all
Early hard life made him tough on the inside, good mother and good brother made him try to push himself, and Counter-Strike made him self-believing and successful. Everyone has their own place to shine and light up others.
Absolutely moving. Beautifully done. He’s got a lot to be proud of.
I usually don't cry but this, this was it...
What an incredible woman your mom is, story hit the feels!
And then Mike showed up. TEARS
A very moving documentary that evoked a lot of emotions... well done ESL!
It is a pleasure watching launders grow ever since his bhop and kz days to the heights he has reached today. Every time I find out you and Scrawny are casting a match I'm looking forward to it. Always cheered for you buddy, you deserve it all!
Such a good player profile. Launders, his mom, Michael, Maddie and his friends are all real ones.
This is the best profile video I've seen from ESL and honestly they're all really good
Such a great ambassador for the scene. Scrawnders really radiate the community embodiment of counter strike in their casting and personality. Mohan has to be my favourite person in the talent scene just based off of what he's done for the community with his channel, if anyone deserves this he does.
Genuinely the greatest content to come out of counter strike. Thank you to everyone involved
So freaking good, his mom, Michael, and Maddie are all so supportive... Michael's role was especially inspiring through his humbleness and desire to make a a difference which may have seemed really small at the time.
an absolute legend
I would have never learned to bhop without Launder's tutorials
Wow, what an amazing story. Haven't cried in a while but damn this got me sobbing like a lil boy.
I literally cried throughout the whole video. It was really nice that the whole video was around his mom and her hardships, what an incredible, supportive, caring, loving and hard-working woman. I admire her and reminds me of my mom!
Man, almost brought me to tears. Launders has always been a treasure for the NA scene, and I remember watching his streams almost 10 years ago when he was on the up and up in NA. So proud of everything he has done, and his continued support for the E-sports scene in Toronto 💓
13:00 this part actually made me cry
Wish him all the good! 👏. Glad that he is here for us!
Real. Much love, brother! Happy to see you and your family doing well in life!
i remember watching your movement videos on csgo trying to make the connection between css and go. i followed your channel for years, got lost in life and forgot. came back to the game years later to see you commentating on majors, it’s so inspiring. we’re proud of you
13:12 best moment
out of all the content to come out for CS or people related to CS... Never thought it'd be fuckin LAUNDERS making me bawl my eyes out. Such a lovely moment man.
Jesus christ this was so powerful and so emotional... Thank you ESL
Sweet, as someone who became part of CS Community just , I didn‘t quite know what to think of Launders. As he has some controversial takes, which I don‘t agree with. But after seeing him having the time of his life at the recent MongolZ vs Pain match and watching this documentary, I can surely say I‘m a fan. :-)
Beautiful. Thank you, Launders, and thank you ESL.
Genuine tears are shed by anyone who can relate to this story. So few understand the passion behind the Counter-Strike community, but this is just one story told by one person, who had the wherewethal to do better, be better, and be a golden example for anyone who would take the time to listen.
Your thirst is mine, my water is yours.
Mohan deserves everything he has achieved. What a beautiful production by ESL, what a beautiful man Lau is. Big love from Finland
Michael showing up at that moment, cried. Loved it, beautiful video and great storytelling. Emotional af
Long time not having a single tear, but damn, that video hit me right in the feels. Thank you ESL, thank you launders.
This is the best video you guys ever made hands down what a powerful story
man this was so beautiful
this is one of the most well-made mini-docs I've ever seen. had me super emotional most of the way through. such an insane story. truly inspiring!
Bro this is one of the most touching videos I’ve seen. CS or not. Big respect to Launders man, all love from the USA. You’ve really fulfilled an incredible journey and life.
If Launders really didn't know about Michael coming then it's the best thing i've seen in a while
@@MegaTheRollingStones I worked on this, it was a real surprise reunion. Happy we pulled it off.
Been a fan of Launders since Yahoo esports and I couldn’t be happier for someone after watching this video what an amazing piece of content. You and your mother deserve the world.
This was very heartwarming, a perfect example of how to be the best you can be.
You are living the dream, I hope all the best for you and your lovely mom. Take care, and keep casting great games!
Amazing video, the content with the roundtables and these profiles have been incredible, great job ESL. Launders and Scrawny are my favourite commentators. Scrawny for the storytelling and suspense, and Launders for his calming voice and insights. And shout out to Michael for just being a GOAT of a man.
Now this is some quality production. Respect the journey.
This was such a beautiful video.
It brought real tears to my eyes.
Video Games are fucking RAD.
i dont even play cs this got recommended to me but what a masterpiece.
Crazy story, crazy cinematography.
The part with Michael almost made me cry, everyone in this video deserves nothing but the best.
This is beautiful and makes me love Launders that much more. Coming from a fellow Canadian, you’re a huge part of the reason I fell in love with CS again.
This made me cry ive watched launders for years never knew this stuff what a beautiful man and family
Didn’t expect this, but wow. Truly amazing story. You’ve kept it real all the way. Awesome family and truly deserved success in life!
I did not expect to cry, you're such an awesome guy Lau! Thanks so much for sharing this with us.
Holy shit, best cs profile by far
finally a shoutout to one of the talents.
they deserve much more credit and exposure than they get.
given the fact they dedicate their life for the game and usually only get hate threads on twitter lol
