Let's be real, it's entirely warranted. Shroud was a mid pro at best but he's one of the biggest streamers in the short history of the genre. That streaming career was launched in CS 🤷♂️ there is literally no bigger name in CS (from any era)
NA players know how to market themselves and have disproportionate cultural impact unlike EU players who don't understand anything about creating a bran for yourself
@@fakuhu178 I dont know what you are responding to. I didnt make a claim about any specific player. I simply pointed out that NA players in general are more aware that you need to market yourself and create a brand for yourself.
@@Raptorftw Oh my bad. European pros don't have to market themselves on stream to the same extent to make money, firstly. Secondly most of the NA guys high on this list don't even have a high cultural impact in Europe, which is where the majority of the culture is located. The one guy from NA who has had the most attention from EU is Stewie2k. Shroud for example isnt really on that level in terms of being talked about as much as Get right, Stewie, Flusha jw Niko S1mple F0rest, m0nesy, donk jame or any of the astralis guys for that matter (ETC). The list could go on about players with more clout than these guys.
Fallen not being at least on top 2-3 is insane, given his contribution and impact on the brazilian scene. I get Shroud and S1mple's impact, but Summit above Fallen? Come on, bud. Fallen's efforts literally RECREATED a CS passion in a country.
I'm sorry but fallen isn't really that known to non-Brazilians. kennyS is synonymous with awping itself by comparison. I agree that summit is ridiculous
There is obviously bias and personal experinces affecting the results, its not 100% unbiased statistics data. So dont worry too much, but I do agree with you though.
People talking about “national impact” are the ones who clearly didnt watch pro cs when fallen peaked. I mean… I swear I’m far from the biggest fallen fan and i hope he retires as soon as possible but his cultural impact is undeniable at least top 3. The only reason Brazil has around 4 Teams in top 30 most of the time is Fallen. Thats international impact already. Also, late execs and early awp peeks setups were recreated by the guy. It might be some sort of unexcusable bias, but i feel like Fallen has the same amount of impact, if not more, than KennyS. And i mean it to the international cs community, not brazillian scene only.
@@hockeybuzz555 right, its a "Counter-Strike Cultural Impact Tierlist" but his only criteria for putting shroud at #1 is because he became the most famous person. And that was after his CS career through streaming other FPS games. So yeah, he's glazin.
@@MultiGoban right, no one is denying that. but there are no shroud moments i can think of. he has no famous clutches, he has some sick clips. But he has no 1G, Jame Time, famous caster call, or anything that the community calls a shroud moment. i'd say bottom S+ is fair, considering his impact on the scene but putting him above KennyS has to be wrong.
Man, I don't care about the rest, but not auto-putting GeT_RiGhT in "S" is just criminal. I knew of him about 3-4 years BEFORE starting to watch any CS at all (started around 2015). You said it yourself - an entire style of play invented. Countless frag videos. Consistently involved in the scene still. Very famous outside of the game. The only explanation would be your age, tbh. For real.
Geographic location has to be accounted for as well , i am Argentinian born in 1997 and most people dont play games nor do they know about counter-strike here, yet, there are 2 CS players that i've heard normal people that dont play games name, when i was a kid i saw some people naming SpawN , even long after his prime and career (i started highschool in 2009) and non-gamers still would mention him "ah podes ganar guita jugando como ese spawn" (ah you could make money playing games like that spawn guy) , and kennyS. No one who doesnt game has ever mentioned s1mple or shroud to me in real life, not at school, work (i finished highschool in 2015) or university (i started uni this year) , mind you, Spawn had a bit more cultural impact than Kenny here in Argentina, the only 3 people that mentioned Kenny didnt remember his name and either refered to him as "the sniper" or "that french guy who uses the awp". EVERYONE at the lan coffee worshiped SpawN here from 2005 until 2013 at least, i had some very mild casual experience with 1.6 during my chidhood but i still never understood it, now that im 27 i kinda get it.
For some perspective on the people hating on thr shroud glazing… I never played CSGO, never even paid attention to it. HAD NO CLUE who KennyS was or even s1mple. I did know who shroud was. I discovered that he played CSGO and was on Cloud9 AFTER I started playing CS2. I thought he was just cracked at fps games and streamed. So yeah he is a household name and has huge cultural impact. Same with summit.
What has Maui got against f0rest? Universally loved and respected by the whole scene. Widely regarded as one of the best CS players of all time across all versions. Your favorite player's favorite player (s1mple). To have pimp/allu/booml4/snax/JW/fiberg above him is so weird.
I’m with Maui on Shroud’s impact. I’m from Poland and I hear people my age (millennials) absolutely glazing him and putting him next to Simple and Kennys
Defining cultural impact as something not pertaining to the realm of CS kinda seems pointless. Imo the impact should be in reference to our community and the CS culture we have witnessed and experienced.
Tarik and Shroud def need to be moved down. Their contributions in Counter-Strike don't push them to S+ tier at all. Fallen and Stewie def need to be above both of them, Fallen IS Brazil CS and Stewie IS NA CS
@@fakuhu178 There is no such thing as "counterstrike cultural". All of these people were, or still are, CS players. That's why he didn't put people like Faker on this list because he's not a CS player. You guys are literally misinterpreting this list when you could pay attention and listen to what Maui is setting as the criteria.
i dont understand how device is not un S-S+ tier like he is so famous on his country so many poeple look at him to learn how to awp i just dont get it and there is a little bit to much glazing on the american side but thats understandable bc we all are region biased but yeah device not on s-s+ its surprizing
Xyp9x the freaking clutch minister known by all only being B tier is insane. He’s played for so long and every single clutcher is compared to him, he is THE signature player for one of the most important aspects of the game not to mention the impact of his achievements in Astralis. When s1mple got #1 in 2018 in he was the best in the world in every stat except for two. Who beat him in both rounds survived and clutches? Xyp9x
Not to be a glazer here, but someone I think should get a shoutout is Mixwell - biggest talent out of Spain at the time and brought a lot of Spanish fans with him to OpTic over his time there. Not some amazingly massive cultural impact, but I think it's worth noting.
I loved Get_Rights question at the end about CS TH-camr impact, as I’d love to see where Warowl would be placed. As someone who started playing CS in summer 2015, I know he had a huge impact at the time for people getting into and learning the basics of CS!
I think he needs to say this is just for english speaking region, cuz most of my non english speaking fps friends don't know shroud or would recognize s1mple first
I think it's more about cross games than cross regions, I'm sure that s1mple has god status in eastern europe/russia's lebenstraum but shroud at one point was one just of the biggest streamer of the platform and just a synonym of fps in general.
feel like you should take peak more into consideration, donk mightve been big for like half a year but his streams are honestly s1mple level just because people want to see him play and i think youre underplaying shorts (and tiktok)
the idiosyncratic style that jame brings to the table as an igl has more cultural impact than any dev1ce highlight. he inspires others by telling them it's okay to think outside the box. Dev1ce plays the game within the confines that we all know already exist. jame shifts paradigms

How? He's an insane player, but he has no signature play, he's hardly known outside CS. I'm hard pressed to remember anything he's ever said on camera, no quotes or anything. This list is not about who's the most cracked at CS.
I don't think going by how known they are outside of CS is a useful metric since this is a CS cultural impact tierlist. Do you even understand how insane his Katowice debut is? Shroud didn't do anything near that in his entire career. Sure he might not have the most impact in the entire history of CS but you can't deny he definitely has impacted the community in a big way this year. Also I think the entire list was pretty bs. I see where you're coming from though

People are so butthurt about Shroud it’s hilarious. Maui made it pretty clear that the criteria for S+ is influence outside the game, so of course he’s basically at the top.
Lol if Shroud is S tier then this is just a cultral impact list, not a CS cultural impact list. He hates the game and is probably more known for pubg than anything he did in CS
This is my exact problem with this list. If ex pro commits mass murder and makes international news does he go S tier on this list.. 😅 Cultural impact must relate to CS somehow or it's just pointless.
Kenny is littelly second to S1mple that too because how insanely talented S1mple was but in the real world my friends who have never even ever touched CS know very well about Kenny. Though when I tell them Shroud was a CS pro they cant believe it.
Shroud is the most overrated player in the world (I know this is about their cultural impact). He is so glazed by casual fans that don't know shit about the competitive game. Shroud literally had 0.85-0.9 against top tier opposition. He is by far a mediocre pro player, but as pugger to play against noobs he is fine
@@jmslaltluangpuia idk 'lil bro' but they beat mongolz who Maui was glazing for God knows how long,the best team in the world comfortably and VP who got through Vitality.While Snax having better numbers than Monesy,Mallsb and Hunter on some maps.
Shroud is a sell out, he thought pubg would kill cs, he thought r6s would kill cs, he thought valo will kill cs and here he is thinking his own game will kill cs, like bro put the fries in the bag, and just say you're shitting on cs cuz you're envious that c9 won a major without you
youngins have forgotten that he was and still is a massive streamer with huge reach outside of the scene, had some of the most popular clips in gaming back in the day
Lol can't take your list seriously when you got shroud in s tier when saying s is reserved only for the greats. I dont consider pug stomping for clips on reddit, achieving nothing of note in a 4 year pro caerer, then giving up to become a streamer and talking shit about cs as soon as he could to be impactful regardless of how many people outside cs know his name Im an na fan as much as any american, but that's just straight delusional.

Brazilian impact /=/ International impact

Slight NA bias but very reasonable list
clara SS+ tier
flusha no S+? Xantares no S+?? delusions. Shroud S+ 😂
tec 9 is the olof of kennyS the awp
Aye let’s go
Shroud as a cs player is only relevant in NA. Shroud as a variety streamer is absolutely a global figure
Video starts @ 1:06
analyst bias crazy tryna glaze pimp over get right, i’m glad you held yourself back there at the end hahaha
Comment on the G2 game Maui?How did Snax do?
let the tournament finish lil bro
@@jmslaltluangpuia idk 'lil bro' but they beat mongolz who Maui was glazing for God knows how long,the best team in the world comfortably and VP who got through Vitality.While Snax having better numbers than Monesy,Mallsb and Hunter on some maps.
Sanji S-Tier
Shroud is a sell out, he thought pubg would kill cs, he thought r6s would kill cs, he thought valo will kill cs and here he is thinking his own game will kill cs, like bro put the fries in the bag, and just say you're shitting on cs cuz you're envious that c9 won a major without you
1:18:17 WE WILL NEVER EVER FORGET
Forsake SS+ tier what are you on about? The guy destroyed a countries esports team, thats bigger than anything in the history of CS
this tierlist.. im thinking s+
Where is joelz?
Maniac update
sh1ro in D tier is disgusting
26:53 nearly two but whos counting?
Flusha is S++ and JW too.
Shroud in anything above B for a cs tierlist is literally a crime
How is tarik that high
@@스페이스엑스-f9c Maui is an NA fanboy.
youngins have forgotten that he was and still is a massive streamer with huge reach outside of the scene, had some of the most popular clips in gaming back in the day
Clara 💀💀
Shroud S tier is a joke
How tf is tarik up in S+ lmaoooooo
Rigged! HooXi should be should be number 1 S+ tier!!!
Nobody out of CS scene cares about gigachad memes. So no.
I know it’s pro players but what about Ohnepixel 😢 and the casters and other streamers
Lol can't take your list seriously when you got shroud in s tier when saying s is reserved only for the greats.
I dont consider pug stomping for clips on reddit, achieving nothing of note in a 4 year pro caerer, then giving up to become a streamer and talking shit about cs as soon as he could to be impactful regardless of how many people outside cs know his name
Im an na fan as much as any american, but that's just straight delusional.
do you understand what cultural impact means?
@@ch1ckennugg3t38 yes and shroud is B at most
@@Source121 In other words, you do not understand what cultural impact means.
havent watched but hunden better be B or above
bro please give warning before that jumpscare ad plays
For some perspective on the people hating on thr shroud glazing…
I never played CSGO, never even paid attention to it. HAD NO CLUE who KennyS was or even s1mple.
I did know who shroud was. I discovered that he played CSGO and was on Cloud9 AFTER I started playing CS2. I thought he was just cracked at fps games and streamed. So yeah he is a household name and has huge cultural impact.
Same with summit.
Also scream does not belong in S+
how come shroud and summit are S tier if NA cs is dead?
cultural impact also relates with longevity
@@luccabatistella they transcended the game
people started playing cs because of summit, why is kennyS higher than him?
some ppl would know the name KennyS n dont know cs, he was at one point even bigger than the game itself
KennyS def had people start playing cs because of him
i can't believe he put f0rest and xantares that low bro omg, even jame above them. worst tier list ever xD
forest is unreasonably low but nobody outside of turkey really cares about xantares lol
@@депресијагејмер you really wish that don't you lil bro 🐒
Summit easily f -
people who bitch bout shroud probably noobs
What the fuck am I watching? Shroud and summit on S+ ? Scream and stewie? Bro, what? Maui usually has good points but this S+ tier is absolute trash.
tarik too low ive seen kids in my high school classes watching his streams
yo remember when we played cs in 2019
Fak twitch popularity who the hell watches that shit
Smooya same impact as konfig. Classic trash take
Putting Scream in S+ is insane lmao
Headshot machine
Go back to 2013-16 and you had kennyS name in mind when someone talked about the AWP and scream when it came to the AK
NA glazing is crazy with this one
