Great interview from NAF and Thorin. Feel like he really opened up towards the end and some great insights. Always comical to me when plebs comment on thorin "just trying to stay relevant with edgy tweets" when a god tier player like NAF even remembers the context of thorins input in his long storied career. Love this series and love NAF as a player.
Wrapping up this reflection, I’m about half way into this final part and WOW. The reflections you’ve done in the NA scene have been incredible for insight and really goes into so much depth that no other interviewer can get out of players (except maybe RL). The rush, autimatic, twistzz, and now NAF reflections have been so fucking good man. Thanks again Thorin! Can’t wait for the next one!
Honestly would've loved to hear you guys go in depth on the COVID era too. Obviously the results sucked, but it was such a weird time for the team and I would've been curious to hear what NAF had to say about some of the things that went on, as well as the overall effect it had on NA CS. His perspective on the difficulty playing separately and remotely, how much of a disadvantage he thought it was, the reasoning behind dropping their veteran leadership of Nitro and Adren for essentially two rookies in Moses and Grim, whether or not there was regret in breaking that roster up before getting back to LAN, if there was any consideration of just trying to ride it out until they could play in person, and if he felt like they had been on the cusp of regaining some of their Grand Slam form before everything got shut down. I'd gladly gobble up another three hours of NAF insight lol, it was wonderful to hear him talk at such length about his career, especially since he does usually come off as more reserved.
Really great video again, didn't know much about NAF but loved the role he plays as an anchor and being super underrated in the team and community, not an easy job to do when you aren't always posting the highest numbers. Like him a lot more now
Naf is selling Astralis short of the Vertigo pick. Liquid just beat Astralis 16-6 on Infero at ESL just 3 months before and was left over as the map 3 decider. Astralis got dismantled by NRG on Nuke in groups and would later lose again to EG at ESL NY. They were far from unbeatable. Liquid being confused on why Astralis didn't pick a "give me" map is exactly why they only got one round on T-side. It's not really a risk when you do your homework on your opponent, and they're unprepared to make any changes. Also lol at "Liquid won the 1st half". They only got 7 even with winning pistol.
th-cam.com/video/zPapPWJjc1Y/w-d-xo.html This is the clip they are talking about that NAF said "why didn't this get a graffity" it unfortunately doesn't show the fact that he jumped over the scope which, idk why they didn't cuz that was the sickest part of the play IMO EDIT: Nevermind found one that shows it perfectly here (th-cam.com/video/OGcemY---D8/w-d-xo.html)
Man, I was worried about it but to hear NAF confirm that YEKINDAR is essentially Stewie 2.0 really makes my heart sad. Letting Stewie's voice be the dominant one was a big detriment to their progress and its not encouraging to hear that is happening again.
Did you mean nostalgic? Also, NAF is an OG in the NA csgo scene, but I don't think this is even like a top 15 oldest throwback interviews. Felt way older watching reflections with quake and early 1.6/pre 1.6 players.

This was definitely my favourite reflections since f0rest
NAF is a great guest , giving up so many good details
What a fantastic interview throughout. Feel like thorins energy was even a bit more elevated compared to normal.
Its that Gamersupps I tell you
It helps when the player appreciates the jokes you're making I'm sure. Lots of homies deadpan these interviews because they're nervous or something.
first time i can tolerate or develop mild respect for thorin

Instant classic interview - big up NAF for the vibes and the goat Thorin...He is Esports!
Great Interview with Naf the legend. Also shoutout to Naf for calling the boy AuTIMatic that dude is a stud csgo player.

Such a great interview series. Thanks
Best reflections episode since the XEQTR one, great work
great interview. very interesting stuff from NAF on the last several years of his career.
Really great video again, didn't know much about NAF but loved the role he plays as an anchor and being super underrated in the team and community, not an easy job to do when you aren't always posting the highest numbers. Like him a lot more now
Great interview. Clearly two guys that get along pretty well and trust between them. Enjoyed the whole thing!
absolutely wicked episode. What a cool guy.
This interview was NAF! Thanks Thorin and Keith for the content
Would have loved to ask about Moses as a coach but a great interview regardless.
Absolutely amazing interview, thank you so much Thorin !

Great interview this!
Another common thorin W
Fantastic interview, and if you listen carefully naf basically said, that Yekindar is not IGL and is better to be 2nd caller...
CLASS
Good shit boss man. I love NAF even more now. Literal sloth. We live the clutch because nothing bothers us 😊

17:09 remove pistol rounds
It's pretty stoic to see the historian having a conversation with an OG about CS history.
Feeling old much?

@@nofluffagain Reflections with Cooller would be awesome. It would be super Epicurean... I mean Sto.. I mean awesome.
Never liked liquid but I always liked NAF. Big ups legend 🙏
Stewie not mentioned at all as a topic. Literally every other player discussed. Why?
NAF's play vs ENCE from 1:22
