The fact that devs nerf the op because of kenny, speaks volume. It's s a testament to kennys's phenomenal performance with the awp. Even to this day. He's simply the awp magician. Ps: i don't even play cs LoL
It’s expected tbh. The op in Valorant is easier, just the only agent you can be viable with the op is Jett due to her movement capabilities. Wouldn’t be surprised if they nerf the awp because of him like they did in CS. Gun is already broken.
@@TheMurtnaT Jett isn’t the only agent that could use it, it’s just the most dedicated agent to it. The op is definitely easier. Definitely is easier especially with hitting shots and holding angles.

kennyS had inspired me through out the years, with those awp skills he is the most insane awper that has ever stepped cs scene. We salute u KennyS thanks for inspiring lot’s of new Awpers tragic to see him benched.💪🏻💪🏻
The clips of him admitting that he coasted mostly off of raw talent really puts his achievements and impact into perspective. He's like the Allen Iverson of CS. Great video
could be a slight decline in reflexes as he ages as well. If he is relying on just always being faster, all it takes is the small naturally degradation caused by aging and he goes from being a bit faster than everyone, to roughly on the same page, and stuff that used to work just doesn't anymore. As a lot of pro gamers age they tend to shift from more mechanically / reflex intense positions to more strategic roles on the team, and then slowly get phased out of the scene entirely.
He did and does work hard. Stop making assumptions. He practices hours on end like any other pro and puts in the work. Him falling off has nothing to do with the work he puts in
Pro player salaries vary between 15-20k $ / month. So if you won't play good then the org would just hire a young talented player who is still inexperienced to play your role. Watch henryg's hltv episode. He gives a better explanation. In this era all tier 1 orgs will not spend big bucks on anyone who isn't performing well, they would rather just integrate some fpl player or some young talent in their current roster. Look at vitality they improved so much after the addition of kyojin. Same can be said for navi, replacing flamie with b1t worked wonders. Also lucky on Astralis....

He's still a tier 1 awper. It's just that CS:GO doesn't have many new projects thanks to no LANs.

Man I really feel bad for KennyS he's such a God at awping even my friends that doesn't watch csgo Pro League knows him I just hope for the best for KennyS future hopefully he finds a team that can prove himself again to be one of the top CSGO or even other fps game
bro, what is there to feel bad about? he said it himself, he played CS for 20 years ... don't you think that's enough? let the man enjoy other stuff ... maybe he decides he doesn't wanna be a pro no more , and just sticks to streaming ...
He had his time, he had his major, he have nothing left to prove and It would be godly difficult to rebound. He was overrated and got more fans than other similar to his strength at the time(GuardiaN or dev1ce). There is nothing to feel bad for, he have marked his history and those comments proved he did.
I’m just happy I have lived through his golden years. I’ve been his biggest fan and even my play style is similar to his. So happy I met him a few years ago.
That old Virtus Pro team was the bomb man, i loved watching them years ago. About KennyS, what can i say, good luck to him , he really was and still is an insane player. especially since he says himself that he's pretty lazy, so being that good while putting not that many hours like others have, is a major thing. GG WP to him.
It wouldn't matter if he left the game. Sure it would be sad to see him leave, but he has a legacy that cannot be touched. He was, is and will be the greatest awper ever.
It was due to him that I and many others bought an asiimov and renamed it to "Magic Stick". He is the reason that the awp asiimov still has a cult following today.
I remember when Kenny was in his prime, or should i say the game facilitated him to dominate. As the video said, he wasnt just a good player, he really did seem like a god
To pretty much every CSGO player from the early era, kennyS was the pinnacle of AWPing and we all wanted to be him. Kenny will always be the greatest AWPer of all time to me, not just for his skill, but for what he inspired.
KennyS and Tenz is literally the reason why I use sniper so much in games, like seeing them hitting the shot faster than my eyes can react to the flick is what attracts me.
both players are pretty overrated. Tenz is good but he's not the best player on his team. Shazam does more for the team, Sick is the perfect player in terms of his flexibility. IMO Tenz and Kenny are the same player. Both have insane talent but dont have the mind for the game that other players do. I will say this Tenz has maybe the most entertaining pro view to watch and his stream is fantastic.

Kenny i came to watch csgo because of you. Even ive never touched csgo in my life i got impressed by seeing your awp shots. Its really hard to maintain ones glory for a long long period of time. Its common for all of us. You are a part of csgo and still remain in our hearts forever.
one of the main problems is his buyout is much more than lower teams can afford nobody wants to put so much money in a player especially in the online era
KennyS is the sort of kind and quiet guy jocks make fun of in school but then shuts their mouths by being by far the best at something they also wanna be good at.
I fucking love Kenny. He was the last member of that G2 team that got me into CS - and esports in general - and it's actually really mature of him to readily admit that he relied too much on talent. Most people aren't able to accept that.
kennyS is like Dendi is to Dota or like Pele is to Football. Like the first legends of the games they played. Might not have the most trophies but always remembered.
his aggressive awp playstyle could be played and implemented really really well in valorant. If he played jett, he'd be probably the best op player in the world
since i started playing csgo i heard kennyS name first, his awping skills made him my idol at the game and at sniping. Its sad that KennyS is declining but i hope he finds a better part in valorant
For me most memorable were, Get Right: early star player, master lurker, Kenny S: AWP legend, Olofmeister : Tec 9 Villain, Scream: Headshot machine, Niko:(early years) One man army, carrying mouz.
Bro I've watched some of his valorant streams and he is fucking insane with the flicks with the op. He still needs to learn the abilities tho but gunplay-wise, he has it.
It's no surprise CSGO is bleeding players even when there's a new update, a healthy playerbase is paramount to the esports scene of a game, there's no big moves from the orgs themselves so less opportunity for players. That's why players like Nivera switched, there's just no opportunity there.
@@Miraclelnvoker *bleeding players* LOL do you know how many tier 2 teams made up of upcoming young talents are in the cs? Psh yeah 2 French players leave oh no cs is BLEEDING PLAYERS 🤪

He is the reason I strive for sniping in any fps game even if not in cs, he inspired us to be better , even if hes not performing well lately, I still thought of him as my idol when it comes to sniping in general and some people will agree.
I think the break from the competitive scene is what kenny needs. He’s been on teams since source and has not been teamless for a long period of time. A refresh is needed after nearly a decade of competing.

10 years he been a pro in cs that's a long time for anyone
if you missed your first shot you're basically dead. VALORANT be like we dont do that here
It's so cool him mentioning TF2, I'm still an avid TF2 player, and when I'm popping off sniping in TF2 I'm usually at my best in cs:go awping.
Kenny i came to watch csgo because of you. Even ive never touched csgo in my life i got impressed by seeing your awp shots. Its really hard to maintain ones glory for a long long period of time. Its common for all of us. You are a part of csgo and still remain in our hearts forever.
that expression after "top of the world" @4:55 hahahhaha
"If you ever played any CSGO at all, you wanted to be just like Kenny."
Yes...
.... with the Scout though.
Atleast he is enjoying streaming ❤️❤️❤️... Everyone has up and down
KennyS is like dendi in dota2. Still a legend!
Had to fit the cadian clutch in there somehow huh😂
as if zero csgo teams want the best awper to ever do it, thats crazy
ikr
He means non of the top teams want him. He won't join a lower team
one of the main problems is his buyout is much more than lower teams can afford
nobody wants to put so much money in a player especially in the online era
@@rishabh9627 blame carlos lol, he is known for setting buyouts really damn high
0:23 when his head game too good.😏
give the awp movement back = ez top 1 again for guardian,device,kennyS
Not for device
That's illegal
replace devve with fallen. devve are not aggressive awper
As an awper nah that shit would ruin the game too much rn
@@knightsky4438 not too much but slight buff
KennyS is the sort of kind and quiet guy jocks make fun of in school but then shuts their mouths by being by far the best at something they also wanna be good at.
N1 thescore, make a video about someone's decline. Thats very kind.
Its the story of a hero
I fucking love Kenny. He was the last member of that G2 team that got me into CS - and esports in general - and it's actually really mature of him to readily admit that he relied too much on talent. Most people aren't able to accept that.
Yea his talent only carried him in to a major win. Talent wasn't enough. Surely wasn't enough.
Exactly what I was thinking in this video he doesn't get praised enough
Idk what he wants...has a huge fanbase..major, literally a god in awping
So you want them to praise him for a major he won in 2015 and in video talking about he's fallen of C's lmao I think thier point is proven
@@knightsky4438 they make it seem like he only had a good year which is wrong
@@StavrosLoudis fair enough but if its only about the last 2 years i feel it makes sense
its seems like that cadian clip is gonna be used in everything related to a sniper
it makes me sad to see this :(
kennyS is like Dendi is to Dota or like Pele is to Football. Like the first legends of the games they played. Might not have the most trophies but always remembered.
his aggressive awp playstyle could be played and implemented really really well in valorant. If he played jett, he'd be probably the best op player in the world
since i started playing csgo i heard kennyS name first, his awping skills made him my idol at the game and at sniping. Its sad that KennyS is declining but i hope he finds a better part in valorant
Nice haircut
Wtf
12:21 What brand are those headphones?
some day i hope he go pro again, he is an undeniable legend
For me most memorable were, Get Right: early star player, master lurker, Kenny S: AWP legend, Olofmeister : Tec 9 Villain, Scream: Headshot machine, Niko:(early years) One man army, carrying mouz.
Valorant' s awp style is totally different than Kenny's.
Bro I've watched some of his valorant streams and he is fucking insane with the flicks with the op. He still needs to learn the abilities tho but gunplay-wise, he has it.
interesting how the video title and thumbnail went from "The Tragic Decline of KennyS" to "When Talent Isn't Enough"
s1mple is the best AWPer (and overall player) right now but Kenny will always be the one that lives in our hearts
Lol
Darth Zywoo: Did you ever hear the tragedy of Darth KennyS The Talented?
he is playing more valorant now, he might switch soon
It's where all the csgo pros go to retire. No surprise
It's no surprise CSGO is bleeding players even when there's a new update, a healthy playerbase is paramount to the esports scene of a game, there's no big moves from the orgs themselves so less opportunity for players. That's why players like Nivera switched, there's just no opportunity there.
@@Miraclelnvoker *bleeding players* LOL do you know how many tier 2 teams made up of upcoming young talents are in the cs? Psh yeah 2 French players leave oh no cs is BLEEDING PLAYERS 🤪
@@sirgeorgioalastrata4104 Don't be butthurt the stats don't lie, go to Steam Charts and look for yourself.
@@sirgeorgioalastrata4104 Dude I'm a huge cs fan myself but I agree with cs bleeding players it bounced up with the new update but now it came back down again. Back on 2017 to 2019 cs had it's peak but now it's trickling players down slowly but steadily.
He is the reason I strive for sniping in any fps game even if not in cs, he inspired us to be better , even if hes not performing well lately, I still thought of him as my idol when it comes to sniping in general and some people will agree.
Tldr man too lazy to learn proper strat and got out awp by almost everybody when the game got more tactical
Good old times when everyone knew KennyS, OlofMaister or PashaBiceps
legends
The only thing that needs to retire in this video is that hairdo
@1:35 a perfect wallpaper for a Kenny S fan
Can u please improve the titles, it looks very passive aggressive
Everybody once were putting their cs names 'kennys' and try to play awp like him for the whole match ,man was legend.. good days
He rages in his stream sometimes
I think the break from the competitive scene is what kenny needs. He’s been on teams since source and has not been teamless for a long period of time. A refresh is needed after nearly a decade of competing.
And maybe it hints us, the end of csgo.
No,please no 😔
Nah, kennyS just didn't adapt
@@crack4184 Idk, but still he got the confidence
@@elderoid I hope he will adapt soon (and surely will)
@@crack4184 hope so bro
5:16 bro I feel you, please don’t stick to this hairstyle. There are way better that fit and will look great on you. Even if you choose to buzz cut I think it’ll look amazing
-Amanek +KennyS easy wins for G2
i see JW as a good example how he shifted towards rifler and awper both during his bad time
"The Tragic Decline of CS:GO's Hottest AWPer"
Well the best AWPer since the Hottest is Tom cruise
