Thorin's last year is maybe the most fruitful body of work in documenting esports history. Sheer volume is overwhelming. Quality only keeps improving even though it is beyond great for a long time already. Entire career is insane, but the last year really sets the bar. Hope to have the honor to meet you some day and thanks for doing all this great work.
Small correction, the biographer's name is Walter Isaacson. He also wrote biographies on Albert Einstein and Leonardo Da Vinci. I'm reading the latter currently, his work is spectacular.
Very happy you mentioned magixx this time and that you've also made the same point that I commented under the snake and banter with tedd. Im a super newbie in cs, having only started playing it two years ago and paying attention to the pro scene since last year only so these talkshows are very insightful.
It's just funny that this episode drops and they give Magixx his flowers right after spirit win a 13-0 game where donk drops a 2.41 rating while magixx didn't get a single kill until it was like 11-0.
@@danboing3864you do realise the entire Spirit team is setup to let Donk succeed. This isn’t some dumpster that he’s carrying. They are setting him up for success in a way S1mple for example never really got until late into his career.
@@varunnarain50 exactly, even when flipside was winning through simple, F3 was a team trying to play complicated contemporary CS. Spirit right now is setup to shelter Donk from the other IGL/coach.
For the Navi discussion idk IM hasn't been great but he's been more consistent than bit yes he has some impact but he is not the same player at all. And JL has just started playing decent
donk: otherworldly aggressive rifler sh1ro: 99.999% reliable passive AWPer with clutch capabilities zont1x: rock anchor always good for at least 2 kills no matter what magixx: veteran fragger-turned-support insane xyp9x level clutcher chopper: genius utility usage fragging IGL
nico doesnt understand that no one would care if he decides things, if he owns his decisions. Like when allu said that they believed ence would be better if aleksib was replace
Ik you guys are saying old players should have a voice such as niko but IMHO Monesy is the only opinion that should matter in that team HE is the only reason they Win 99% of the time
You can’t just take the last 3 months as gospel. Niko was the carry on this team for years and he still can be, once he fully adjusts to CS2 or possibly get of a mental block if that’s his issue right now. His level and veteran experience is almost unrivaled.

He’s just a high quality human

This spirit run reminded me of new york faze clan in 2017 when niko had the highest rating ever and the whole team popped off
1:14:02 shout out to Peyton Manning
I could recognise Barry's voice from anywhere. Always new thorin was a Barry guy
Chopper wasnt an igl in Vega squadron, it was jR. He became an igl only in spirit. Thats why the style "changed"
I would say that Dev1ce is also one of the awpers making it work with the AWP.
THE TIMING. Simple to Falcons wat

I think g2 will use cloud9's desperation to let them spend tons for Monesy and then buy s1mple as the replacement.
Saudi money is too much
simple will def have salary more than monesy
Lol that would be an immediate way to make the team full of washed boomers

First of all it’s niko* second don’t be a pleb and repeat word for word what thorin has said many times in his videos
@@LDixonFPS Why are you calling him a pleb?

@@LDixonFPS i can acknowledge that i dont have original ideas in cs, but if i feel that the context is lost in many discussions
19:18 because je join falcons😅
Nice

magixx is the new SANJI?
Magixx has twice the mechanical skill of Sanji, not even close.
Ayo
s1mple for iM would actually be perfect
how about s1mple for boros? 😉

NiKo was the second best player in the world (according to hltv) last year. Bro is just in a slump rn
Bro Thorin pls just go back to the reflection series where u put up the best work.
? He does tons of reflections and it relies on having a guest very often
"Promo SM" 💕
not "counter point" anymore , just "I agree with your point" now .
