New guns like Donk and M0nesy just shows that CS is truly still alive and still pumping out new legends. New generational talent to take over the game when the old guard start winding down
If anything it shines the light on NA lack of talent cultivation. If you look at the European scene now you see all of the prospect while NRG can’t grab another core and opt instead to reuse the same disastrous eg core
I dont think they do anything remarkable, its just he is hiting a lot. Lets see in the Major. For me most exciting was the Astralis era, they were great, they had their game one step ahead of everyone else.
They aren't going to win everything. Whether you're S1mple, Zywoo or Ropz, that's just not how it works. But he'll certainly be top 5 HLTV no matter what.
S1mple fans will still cope lol. as if s1mple was that good at that age, donk will deffo surpass him, if he continues to improve. s1mple already hit his ceiling and will probably not produce the same numbers
stop with this nonsense about people being older having less capable, adaptable brains, theres zero proof to it at all, unless you are talking about some 90 year old.
this kid is gonna be great but im sick of people comparing him to niko and s1mple He is his own person, with his own story developing now. Why compare them? Like comparing steph curry to michael jordan, whats the point
They compare him because that's how good people think he is. "He is just as good as S1mple" shows that this kid is truly phenomenal. That's why we compare anything.
thats jus how it is, with every sport or e sport new prodogies are compared to the old guard of previous talents and then over time tread their own path and then he will be the new benchmark people will be comparied against
I love this video! During one of spirit’s first games of cologne I commented on a video of one of their games saying I’m loving this team rn, 100% stand by that
Donk is in the spotlight and he undeniably deserves it, but team behind him is also a big factor. Look, how chopper performed in recent matches, he is even topfragin' sometimes. Magix and zontix have amazing game sence and delivered a lot of game winning cluthes, also Magix's second awp is on point! No words even needed for Shiro. Everyone was saying, that he will regret leaving C9, now everyone forgot about C9. Good luck to Donk and team spirit on this major!
I can’t help but make connection between Donk in CS and Zen in Rocket League. Young kids who come in and dominate a whole game. Zen’s team is now not even considered number one so we’ll see if Donk can maintain his dominance.
@@roatisdavid1769more like lucky, he wasn't getting traded with multiple players as he sit and sprayed, multiple times, he's definitely good but dickiriding is way too much rn, calling him the "greatest" is just as cringe
we said we had never seen anything quite like it for S1mple - twist - Zywoo - Device. only difference is, donk has won next to nothing. lets see if he can maintain it before making out that he is the world.
To have the amount of hours that Donk has at his age, he is designed to be a top player. Very excited to see what he does with the powerhouse position he’s been placed in
Good to see young bloods fueling CS. Im not that old, but it feels good to watch a Game I loved then and now thrive, and still being played younger generations.
Well that is life. I was beast on 1.6 and only on 30fps, but I got older, and other responsabilities came up, so I have also stopped playing it. Sometimes is not ment to be.
I wasn’t around for the emergence of m0nesy but their histories seem somewhat similar; starting very young, proving himself on FPL, then quickly moving through an academy team to the big stage. Naturally they’re different people and players entirely, but they’re markers of this new generation of prodigies that I doubt will slow.
even if donk died, his teammates also could carry the round. like shiro, zontix and even chopper can clutch. But they need to be careful because Astralis almost got them and have shown that they can be vulnerable in Vertigo map. Since then all their opponents is picking up vertigo. Mouz already prove it and took advantage out of it. even Metizport also almost got them. although TS seems more superior in others maps but if you started to losing 1 map it can affect the good momentums.
Spirit IS a top team, wth are you even on about? Its just that the rest of Spirit didn't really show up yesterday but something like that happens in every top team every once in a while
As niko said, he doesn't do anything special. It's gonna take a while for the top teams to get accustomed to his style. I mean, karrigan wouldn't playing for 17 years straight if he didn't know how to improvise and improve
This Team (Team Spirit) and especially Donk came from nothing and showed all of the other teams, who is the best in Pro CS atm! So nice to see these guys rockin all those Matches until now! I'm really hyped for the Major now and want to see, how far they will come and if they will maybe win the Major also! Would be just amazing to see *-* The only thing that would be even better, is if S1mple would switch to Team Spirit xDDD But I guess we will never see that unfortunately^^
Never thought that I would see a team rise up to be dominate after NAVI established win after win after win. Then CS organizers started the war in Ukraine to break up the superteam.

love this channel, pls continue
i dropped my glasses after clicking on the video and i read the title as "he's Justin Bieber".
What’s if donk ends up being a “too”offensive and then just becomes the next xqc 😂

Donk is naturally so fucken good, but he is changing the META. Zero fucks given, don't talk, just DO
The Goat of Goat ! He won one tournament. Its the goat ! so crazy so good. Omg
Arival of B1t was sensational, arival of Monesy was superb, but arival of Donk was supreme. This kids is an artist when it comes to CS2.
i actually played vs him back in the day and had potential to be just as good as him but didn’t pursue it.
Well that is life. I was beast on 1.6 and only on 30fps, but I got older, and other responsabilities came up, so I have also stopped playing it. Sometimes is not ment to be.
Apparently age restrictions are a problem for the western cs go pro scene. We need children to start playing at 4 too to compete
looks like he smells of onions
always a weak hater in comments
@anon donk gonna beat them all, coming for him!!
excited to see him on major! i am 16 yo and really love this guy he motivates me to play even better
