Stop, Scope, Flick, Fire: How a YouTuber With No Closer Brought CS:GO To The Masses
ฝัง

- Let's face it: if Counter-Strike’s tutorial was a swimming instructor, it would take you out to the middle of the Bermuda Triangle, inject you with an unknown substance, throw you into the water and whisper the word “swim.”
Of course, you can play with more experienced friends, but even then, chances are you’re going to struggle.
But, fortunately for all of us, there is someone who has tried to change all that. His name is Brent.
But you all know him as “TheWarOwl.” A head-clicking enthusiast turned CS samaritan who has been trying to better the game’s playerbase for nearly a decade.

WarOwl is one of those youtubers you CANT hate. Even if someone says they hate him, deep down they like him. CSGO is nothing without Brent.
Never have i been so confused on a thing i 100% agree with
....fucking "Brent"? Damn
@@williamcampbell9859 William
today i learned that warowl has a real name
@@williamcampbell9859never mind I hate him
The controversy involving Steele and freakazoid is hilarious because freakazoid is a notorious loudmouth with no accreditation and Steele is a cheating liar. Warowl is a pillar of respect in the community so for them to trash him is like shooting a squirt gun at the sun.
Freakazoid is a bully
One threw a match for pixels and subsequently ruined his own pro career forever, and the other was a mediocre player that tried to shit-talk the eventual GOAT of the game.
Their takes mean jack shit, NA players man
@@sunbae-nim wdym NA players
Lmaoooo
@Balakeh Didn't Steel get benched from 100Thieves (Valorant)?
"Shooting a squirt gun at the sun" - so funny and wholesome at the same time.
FINALLY the broskies at the score finally covered him, very well deserved
Unfortunately it had to be the guy that has terminal TH-cam thumbnail face.

@Vincent Bismonte im not really a fan of his over exaggerated expressions but I like the topics.
This guy taught me how to play CSGO. I'm happy to see him get more audience.
same
frr same
Yeah, I've been doing "WarOWL" flashes alot in my games
so u still suck at cs like him?
Same
criticism "his content is for silvers and novas" well yeah of course he is going to explain the basics so newer players can get into the game, not every tutorial should be aimed at people ttrying to go pro, before that we need new players to learn the basics of the game. Thanks warowl for not only being a great teacher but also being funny as hell!
I'm in the process of making videos how to teach people apex like this! I want to show people how to be better, not just be bro but to get to silver!
@@jackthompson7546 Go get em bro!
Those ppl probably got scared because these new players who watched warowl videos probably out fight them in the game lmao
A funny thing is that he probably made more money with the game than the ones criticising
Well deserved. Most positive man in FPS games getting his own episode at last. If you read this Warowl, i credit me getting faceit level 10 and later on diamond in Valorant, to the fundamentals you taught me through your videos. Thank you man, keep up the amazing work :)
faceit 10 rlly?
I credit him with me getting global on cs, plat in lol, heavyweight champion in UFC 🙏🙏
Stop scope and flick
face it 10 should be like radiant lol
And he still, has no closure.
Finally we’ll deserved. Dudes content is so good
Yea just found his channel lmao im hooked.

*BUT HE FINALLY GOT THE PIECE HE DESERVED*
I’m just waiting for when he’s going to finally retire just to hear him say “and I finally do have a closer”

What blows me away is WarOwls critics couldn't break it down into simpler explanations and they still felt like talking shit. No one in the pro scene was able to make it as simple to understand as WarOwl did. He wanted people to have a fighting chance and the pros saw it as competition because there's a VERY good chance that a kid that grew up watching WarOwl videos might be going to the Major right now.
That's probably the dumbest take I've ever heard LOL
Not one pro ever worried about someone watching warowl videos and then would become pro LOLOLOLOL
@@Blernster Then why hate on someone for trying to teach people a game? Explain that cause you're so smart
Those mfs just have an ego so big that they have to butt in to feel satisfied. Now look where they are now lmao
@@kellenwalburn5238 honestly, this came across as a very silly and emotional take. Pros are just jealous because their educational content doesn’t get as many views because they don’t realise they aren’t catering to the majority and breaking it down and teaching well enough
@@Blernster except steel and freakazoid
When you hear critics like Freakazoid, you'd think it comes from a place of accomplishment huh?. WarOwl keeps teaching us how to have fun being "silver" and Freakazoid.. Oh right..
What a wholesome chad, kinda surprised that you guys spoke about the Unboxafragathon series over the Matchmaking Academy
Yeah and soloQ
MA would be sooo mich more fitting for this video. Such a supportive, personalised video series
Matchmaking academy was top tier
I prayed for an explanation/backstory of his outro.
I'm happy this is a thing. I bought my first PC in 2014 after I graduated high school. Picked up CSGO and the WarOwl was one of the first TH-camrs that I found that helped me understand the game of CS. Forever thankful for those vids and breakdowns to understand and improve. What a legend.
Global elite?
@@sharrey Nah I wish lol highest I hit when I played consistently was LE still though he helped me learn the game. Matchmaking academy vids were amazing to understand how to play situations and rounds better
How come the MATCHMAKING ACADEMY wasn't mentioned!? This was the most influential series of its time on TH-cam! You could make a whole follow up video on that, full of "THAT'S HERE!"s "What a noo000oob"s xD
October is literally the month of W's. Dread, BF2042 beta, and now a The Score vid on the best CS youtubah. You love to see it.
Warowls final outro when he decides to stop TH-cam ‘and I have found my closer.’
That would actually hurt me a lot if that happens.
This made me sad.
Nah, it will be "Thanks for watching, I am the WarOwl and THIS is my closer".
I think beyond teaching us to be better cs he taught us how to work hard to improve , he taught me how to get serious about smth , that's a lesson i will never forget .
that makes it worth it man, glad I could have a positive impact!
@@TheWarOwl wow this is insane you replied, i love you man , i will never also forget that winston churchill quote .
I watched all of his tutorials when starting and they changed the way I played the game - for the better. He’s a legend. Explained the little things that make all the difference, in a funny way :)
yeah it was weird how people were memeing on his tutorials they were really helpful for me but then again i was a smol kid who did not play that many fps games maybe the others were just smarter than me i guess
Bless WarOwl for all things he's done for CS:GO , the man is far too underappreciated!
Its no longer a meme. Our prayers have been answered.
Warowl made me everything I am in CSGO. I mean, I'm still Silver 3, but at least I know some guy headshoted me because I was standing in the middle of the site as a noob, not because he was hacking
In my early days in csgo, warowl was the bomb. Now, bc of his tutorials I am playing semi pro in Valorant and I’m top 2000 peak. Mad respect.
Congrats
Grats my dude.
Congratz
Damn this is so cool and wholesome, even all the replies are so nice, congrats and good luck on your carrier
Now, go to the top. We believe in you
I don't understand the problem with the "stop, scope, flick, fire". Is that not what you're supposed to do? I guess you could argue about the timing and order of stopping and scoping but it's good enough of a tutorial for the average player. The pros think it's stupid because they're forgetting how bad the average player is.
Yeah, exactly what warowl said in his response video to steel.
Based on the guys who were openly criticizing him I'd say the issue is really that those guys are assholes, not anything WarOwl actually said.
Funny that the two guys on the video are one who got banned for a fucked up matcfixing scandal and the other one has got no trophies to show
@@soulzuki and the other one moved to valorant and is now benched LMAO
No, it's just that those people are terrible human beings
Steel managed to flop even in valorant and freak can't even get into a roster, no one cares about what they gotta say about anything.
sooooooo trueeeeee, plus Steel got done for match fixing. LUL
sinatraa too LUL beating up his exgf and doesnt care about woman's consent
@@qaze3196 they went to court and sinatraa wasn't guility stay mad
Steel just led a team to top 4 in the world in Valorant what the fuck are you smoking
@@marLamaDeo yea and got kicked right after cuz of how mediocre he was, no tier 1 org wants him now dude's an L always was
TheWarOwl helped me how to become good at CSGO by watching his videos. Thank you theScore Esports for recognizing him!!
Kinda funny how a guy who actually makes his money from cs:go never did anything to help the community.
Warowl thank you so much for the tutorials and the dedication you put into the videos! It's greatly appreciated
WarOwl really is one of the most wholesome and heartwarming characters on the platform.
I'm glad TheWarOwl got his recognition. I don't play CSGO all that much but the concepts he's covered helped me translate that knowledge over to Valorant. He also did say that he wanted to initially create educational content for Valorant but the lack of a replay system prevented him from doing so. Overall, this was a well deserved video. His videos are funny and valueable.
LETS GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO THE WAROWL STORY FINALLY COMES. I remember stumbling on this guys channel as a noob in silver trying to stop losing all my games...
Im still a noob in silver, but god damn if he didnt give me some good strats and memories.
if you're still silver you should probably consider playing a different game
@@kawaiidovah2305 im still in silver because i dont play cs go any more. but if it makes u feel any better, i can get back online and whoop you in a heartbeat if you'd like :)

@@kaykrazzav2431 jeff.
Inside the mind of a global from Jeff really helped me a lot. Got my game sense better so much faster than before I watched that series.
Started watching his videos to learn more about a game I've played since 2002, and learn a lot I did - stayed for the humour and the voice!
He makes extremely thoughtful and well put together content. It’s more than just “you throw this smoke for the memes then you entry frag clutch up push the smoke stewie2k style and hit jumping jaun taps.” He teaches the basic fundamentals of the game and how to improve match over match consistently.
He's the sole reason i have 2k hours in cs now. I would've never tried to play this game if his videos didn't exist.
I love how in the episode about WarOwl they didn’t include their normal outro.
I started playing CS back in 2014 and I always watched Warowl and 3kliksphilip. They have always been the most entertaining and genuine guys who never got into the cancerous gambling shit.
So happy that warowl gets his very deserved video
maybe he will get a closer
no he will not 😏
One of the most Original Personalities i've ever seen. Selfless and thoughtful, stay the same WarOwl!
I gotta go to a CS tourney and meet this man. I don't even play the game that much anymore, more focused on pissing myself off with Apex than CS, but the amount of joy he's brought me in debatably the hardest years of my life so far cannot go ignored. WarOwl, I love you man. I hope you're able to keep doing what you do for years to come :)
After a thousand years.
They made it…..
I'll never forget watching countless Matchmaking Academy videos and even having one of my demos featured in an episode! WarOwl is the best thing to happen to CSGO, would've probably dropped the game long ago but the teachings by him really made me stick with it and I am forever grateful
Finally a video on TheWarOwl, started watching him when i was in hs back in 2014-2015 when i started playing the game. He taught me so much and it helped me improve so much at the game when i knew so little about the game i now love so much
In having no closer, this man may have the single best closer on the entire site ! I salute you, WarOwl !
YES FINALLY! A warowl episode :D
WarOwl is the reason why I still play csgo today. He's helped me learn the game and enjoy it.
Imagine if that teammate never misheard "morale" as "war owl"
I’ve been watching him longer than I’ve been playing CS. Gaming was frowned upon in my family growing up, particularly if it required money, and CS was the first game I bought when I got to college because of how much I loved WarOwl’s videos. He is the only youtuber I will drop what I’m doing to watch a nee video from, and for good reason
Aah Freakzoid "roasting" WarOwl.
I wonder where he is now and how he happens to be making his big bucks.
On the other hand, congrats to Brent for outliving Freak and his clown opinions lol. I am sure it wasn't that hard. :D
YEAH FINALLY A WAROWL
Now this is a channel that listens to its audience.
he's the only guy i love to watch the most. you really should make a video on just him, solo q and all the stuff.
The war owl actually is the one who got me interested in csgo, I don’t play much anymore but I still love the content 😁
warowl is the definition of a chad - being good at something and constantly improving himself, while also improving others in order to make a friendly community
at least its not like the *other* communities :)
honestly this man saved my interest in shooter games, if he didnt make such great videos i would have lost interest in csgo so fast and i wouldnt have been able to meet some of my best friends and play some of my favorite games
I remember watching warowl videos at 3am in my college dorm in order to git good. Thanks for all the good times and here’s to more CSGO tutorials pls 🙏🏽😊
I'm a simple man. I see warowl. I click. I like the video. I subscribe, I comment.
The video has finally arrived holy shit
I remember learning about CS:GO mechanics and CS tactics from WarOwl. This guy is a legend.
I always look forward to the still have no closer part
HE STILL HAS NO CLOSER AFTER THIS VIDEO
We did it boys! 🥳
YES FINALLY! Well deserved feature. His content are undoubtedly the most inspiring and enjoyable content I've ever watched.
I love that guy. Started playing CS:GO back in 2013 and started in silver of course, got up to DMG with his advise and then quit playing because it got too frustrating lol (and I don‘t have enough time now anyway). So yeah, thank you Warowl, you will always be a part of my childhood.
Finally ! Our prayers have been answered !
Big thanks to WarOwl for teaching me literally everything about csgo I know.
The Bob Ross of Counter-Strike, just love the man
I love his content, because it's creative af. He also doesn't take the game too seriously.
Yoo they finally listened
Finally! I've quit CSGO years ago yet I still watch some of his videos because he's so damn positive, informative and goddamn it his voice and beard are just godly
Why did you quite tho ?
I started watching WarOwl back when CSGO beta hadn’t even been released yet. He was a guest on sole other guy’s channel and only had 100 subs at the time. Was crazy and awesome to see his channel get massive after that. I stopped playing CS for years but still watched his stuff because he’s so damn entertaining.
I gotta give the man credit. Even though I don't watch his videos anymore, he really was the first person who learned me source, and finally introduced me to csgo. Also, respect to him for having lost that little bit of gamer chunk he used to have.
Still no closer.. warowl ❤❤
Learned so much from him. He can be harsh at times, but that makes for a good coach.
I used to play Counter strike back in the 1.6 era. I haven't played much of Global Offensive or Source. I do still see matches online and that's how I first came across WarOwl who showed up in my suggestions.
I've been following his content for a long time now. I see him as a real ambassador for the game with his positive attitude and staying away from controversies and drama. I hope he continues to grow. He deserves all the success he's gotten so far and the community also needs someone like him.
God damn it, yes!! This is well deserved. I don't play Cs anymore, haven't for a few years now, but would watch his vids just to see new things and understand the game better. Also, he's funny, mannered and has a great voice. Dude is the Goat!
Finally a man get his credit for helping csgo community getting better everyday . Great content great youtuber

warowl is just such a nice chap. and i think, i think that goes a long way.
I love that guy. One of the better CS yters.
I sill stand by csgo is easier to get into than R6 and dota
as an "ESport New Organization" You guys really let down movement shooters and boomer shooters. some of the highest skill demanding games you could play such as Team Fortress 2 have not been covered even once on this channel
Because tf2 is not very popular in esports at all? Theres a competitive mode but theres no huge events on tf2 esports.
tf 2 does not have any events anymore and when it did, it was a long time ago.
Only more casual games get enough playerbase and viewerbase to be relevant so those types of games that are more ‘hardcore competitive’ aren’t relevant enough to cover
his content works so good cuz we love TheWarOwl
I love you warowl. youre the reason i got to where i am today through gaming. 6 years now!
This guy taught me cs, you deserve more bro
Steel saying things about warowl
Also steel: Gets banned from playing professionally
His videos helped me so much when I was playing, anything I searched for his video would pop up, a fucking well spoken legend
WarOwl: Makes informative videos on how to play a beloved game
Freak: *And I took that personally*
He is such a good guy. I learned a lot from him. In the game and outside the game
warown is the guy that made me try cs when it was free back in 2020, and never regret playing it.
Over a year later and he still, has no closer
I never knew the awp tutorial was frowned upon, I genuinely watched it and learnt from the video, I was silver at the time I watched the video and now I am MGE(maybe slightly higher) hopefully. It genuinely helped me ngl.
