ps. i recorded this video before the major started a day before the nivera return to cs announcement, just had a production delay. congrats to b1t top rookie for another major!!
How’s Kanye’s meet taste ? Just wondering since it’s probably all the way in your throat since you tried acting like him and just looked like an annoying goof lmao 😂 can’t even come up with your own ideas anymore .
Jimmy is a different type of rookie. He doesn't feel like a rookie with his playstyle, he is incredibly smart and plays like he was years and years of experience in tier 1.
b1t - favorite rookie. humble workhorse, disciplined, everything by the book, just a very reliable piece since day 1 pretty much. also winning 2 majors adds up to it.
dupreeh at preasy is my favourite rookie, he is so young and showed a great amount of skill. Hopefully his move to falcons will get him his first major early in his career
academy league has been enjoyable to watch. the teams, the strats they used, the kind unconventional playstyle and last but not least, the production was so wyld, the cinematics alone would make weplay a potential major TO and they would slap it. imagine the talent behind WPAL with valve funds
Such a banger vid. I think nertz is like broky in that he felt like a guy who we stopped calling a rookie in months and at the end of the year people literally forgot he was a rookie with all his great performances
h0bbit joining gambit in 2016 after he'd been bought from Tengri. the guy was playing in Ekibastuz of all places. A small town in Kazakhstan and he went on to win the 2017 majror inkrakow. I can't say that he was in his teens, but he definitely was a rookie.
As someone not a fan of j9, glad to see he got heat from the pro's. Damn your ad for acezone just showed me how cheap it is for the price tag they give it.
I was getting HOT when the video kept progressing and b1t wasn't even mentioned yet lmao. Yes, Na'Vi it's in my heart (and on my skin actually), and he made me fall in love with the game even more, my Argentinian countrymen were the first ones to have that effect on me back in 2016 (IESF), then Na'Vi with s1mple, then B1t becoming such an unstoppable force so quickly. Also seeing him as the last piece of Na'Vi from the last Major and knowing how much of a sweet soul he is, it felt very endearing to see him reach that glory spot again, and which such a statement perfomance in the Final, he quickly tapped into his ultra instinct rookie form and made everyone take a knee.
Nivera said last month that he is hopping to come back to CS2. I agree with you, he was a huge loss, hopefully he comes back and joins another super rookie Espiranto and make a rookie team to win rookie tournaments
Reminder that Ocean is the most culturally significant rank S / faceit player of all time. You can go check but he literally played in every single CS:GO PUG that was streamed on twitch.
Sergej has to be my favorite rookie, 17 years old in a major final and 13th best player in the world in his first year on the top. Sadly we won't see him compete anymore.
Siuhy is my hipster pick. With all the spotlight on mechanically gifted and extremely high game aware individuals, I think it's easy to miss that he's been having success as a rookie IGL. And I don't really have anyone else in mind that really did that so fast in modern times.
I think not mentioning Brollan is criminal, the fact that he's been playing for so long yet he's only 21 is insane. I know he has always been pretty inconsistent (even though it seems like he's getting more consistent now with mouz) but I think he deserves to be mentioned still
Honda best rookie ever. Started his career with a pistol ace against g2 Got a deag ace in the middlenof his career (7 rounds later) And ended his career washed out (2 maps later)
Video idea: talkinh about the danish scene after the astralis era ended, with device leaving and new teams with solid talent coming forth ti fill out that spot, and how it these projects have suceeded and failed?
b1t is a great pick for best rookie of all time. The only player so far to win a major in both CSGO and CS2. When b1t first came into the lineup I remember he was playing instead of flamie on a couple of maps, he didn't look too convincing back then. I remember him mostly just standing in pit on Inferno and dying to a swing. When he got on the roster full time however, he started a meteoric rise, winning trophy after trophy that culminated in Navi's major victory. He had literally the highest headshot percentage out of the entire tier 1 scene that year. His rookie year. Ice cold machine of a player.
Amazing video, Was really interesting. My rookie of the year will go to Donk if he wins a couple more silverware and has those insane stats continuing.
For me as a casual viewer starting to pick up cs2 it has to be donk, specially now after getting beaten out by FaZe Clan and sort of gettin figured out a bit. I Wonder how hes gonna bounce back if he does it, how he is gonna grow as a player if he does and how that Will turn up to be. 2nd will be monesy. Great video man!
Zywoo is the chosen one imo, but I absolutely love watching Monesy play at the moment. I know G2 get dragged a bit for being Monesy and his 4 uncles (though Niko is still a goat), but they are pure vibes, they are great to watch.
I like Jimphat, Monesy and Bit: all of them equally probably. Very skilled players. I hope to see Jimmy and Illya win a Major for sure (I doubt Mouz can stop choking on playoffs though and Monesy will need another team or new players).
Oh man, youre killing it with this content! You should do a video about amazing players and their fall from Grace, maybe Even throw some shade to those who moved to valorant. Would be Nice!
I just recently got into cs but the rookies that I’ve seen that were really impressive I think are monesy ofc but also jimmphat he just is a stone cold killer
My 2 favourite Rookies are m0nesy and Donk. Im a full m0nesy Fan, got him as my Steam profile ouc since early 2022 but Donk is also just insanely craazy. He is also feeling the Game like its his real reality if you know what i mean. Niko is just living a normal life and gets a little bit out of cs but Donk is just playing all day and feeling it
I mean playing in the major when you are 17 vs playing the major when you have all the expectation of performing since you're a "veteran" some players now also have family to feed and support that's added pressure
Does 2015 NiKo count as a rookie? If so he's probably my favorite rookie, however if he doesnt count than its m0nesy for sure. I still remember the first ever game of pro cs I ever watched was FlipSid3 vs Mouz on overpass at the cluj major.. once NiKo got that 1v3 I was hooked. Been my favorite player since. and just something about watching m0nesy play is exciting, Ive been rather burnt out of cs the last couple of years but very infrequently will i miss a g2 game, I can't miss the future g.o.a.t in his early days.
the one that dont get mentioned Sergej, 2018-2019 ENCE fame, VP Wicadia, EF its shame what happen to ENCE and sergej after aleksib left the team, blud have it on the family, now jimi as his brother step up in MOUZ fame, one player you can rely on Wicadia, i was sure EF is weighing down at first, but actually they can do some good run and upset. can he get succes withEF/ international roster in year later ? favorite rookie ? definetely monesy bro got the mindset, grinded everyday, have the passion, have the skill and last but not least he got the attitude just as lau said, i can see him getting the #1 , this year is very doable. his stat on every event is bonkers, even when G2 not winning shit, monesy still fragging
Out of all the pro's up & commers and new school talent, no one ever replaced scream? We never got another aim god like that, Shroud maybe the closest but they played in the same era. I don't think another kid ever come through and truly mastered the onetaps & head aim like scream. I remember for a while xyp9x had the most insane aim &thinking in this game. Unfortunately, my love for the game died with cs2.
ps. i recorded this video before the major started a day before the nivera return to cs announcement, just had a production delay. congrats to b1t top rookie for another major!!
Nooooooo! Keep hating pls 😢
You’re the guy with the terrible pgl ad thinking you’re Kanye 😂 gtfo here

Nah you’re a hater of admission
god those early NA 10 mans and rank S streams was literally the best content CS ever got
yep...
The cultural impact NA Rank S had on CS is insane
we loooooseeeeee
TOOOOOO GLOOOOOOCCCKKKSSSSSS
How is stewie..... NOT BLIND!?!?!??!
no matter what happens to these rookies im just glad we're past the recycling phase. shoutout ence and mouz
the best rookie is MAJ3R, amazing run at the major for such a young talent, he's only 33 and was the highest rated player for EF during playoffs!
AHAHAHA
dupreeh at preasy is my favourite rookie, he is so young and showed a great amount of skill. Hopefully his move to falcons will get him his first major early in his career
dupreeh is a rookie? Am i missing something? When I played CS dupreeh was on Astralis & one of the best players/rifles in a line up?
@@LocalGrubAuyou are missing something. He’s being sarcastic :)
@@navnoot But the video never said dupreeh is a rookie either?
@@LocalGrubAu cant tell if you are this dense or not
babe wake tf up, Lau just dropped a 20min banger
fame has to be my favorite rookie, straight from being a pugstar to being one of Jame's soldiers is an underrated turnaround
academy league has been enjoyable to watch.
the teams, the strats they used, the kind unconventional playstyle
and last but not least, the production was so wyld, the cinematics alone would make weplay a potential major TO and they would slap it.
imagine the talent behind WPAL with valve funds
Launders casually having the best cs content run on TH-cam right now
NA rookies/talents back in the day getting called "onliners" in rank S was peak counter strike
sergej 2018-19 was magical
I'm sad we never got to see Jimpphat, AleksiB and Sergej in same team. Could have been insane
frozen was god of our cz/sk csgo scene at 13years but he couldnt play lan bcs of age gap
One day we'll get a major
Such a banger vid. I think nertz is like broky in that he felt like a guy who we stopped calling a rookie in months and at the end of the year people literally forgot he was a rookie with all his great performances
"he felt like a guy"
Thats his name haha
My favorite is Donk just for the fact that he kept screaming on lan and people had to tell him to settle down.
He just sounds like something you could find in a sewer, that's why it is hard to tolerate the yelling. The sound is horrible.
@@Giggelitesille I love the post matches where some of these players who spend all their non cs time in the gym and then donk is just this 80lb child.
Laundry looks like he is about to cook me the most overpriced burger ever
tf... it would be delicious
@@launders drop the recipe mafriend
only one rookie had science community name a law after him: Bogdan. i rest my case
NA 10 mans were peak CS content from me. ShahZam's laugh, DaZeD yelling GLOCKS, MANNyGER, COACH
Cant believe Based Launders didnt talk about the first iteration of Mouz NXT
Nertz the 35 year old rookie goat

need that hasbullah pic with the deagle blaze ASAP!!!!!!
Nivera said last month that he is hopping to come back to CS2. I agree with you, he was a huge loss, hopefully he comes back and joins another super rookie Espiranto and make a rookie team to win rookie tournaments
Who remembers when Launders made demo videos? Miss those days...
Favourite rookie has to be fame. He just fit into the major run so well.
Reminder that Ocean is the most culturally significant rank S / faceit player of all time. You can go check but he literally played in every single CS:GO PUG that was streamed on twitch.
I love how when you were naming legends off the dome you just named the NiP roster😂
I remember Nivera playing and the 6 man vitality roster, he was IMO best replacement for shox and Vitality dropped a chance there.
Sergej has to be my favorite rookie, 17 years old in a major final and 13th best player in the world in his first year on the top. Sadly we won't see him compete anymore.
Personally Launders, I think JBa on Wildcard is the voice from the outer world, and he will lead us to paradise.
the best CS youtuber and you’re the reason why I wanna study journalism and start talking CS!!
bro nivera is coming back !
nivera is coming back can't wait to see him play
Siuhy is my hipster pick. With all the spotlight on mechanically gifted and extremely high game aware individuals, I think it's easy to miss that he's been having success as a rookie IGL. And I don't really have anyone else in mind that really did that so fast in modern times.
this launders guy is great. no one makes cs2 content as good as my goat laundy
The way you called out wonderful like that at the start got me dying 😭
B1T was such a good rookie because of Booml4!
and blad3!
I think not mentioning Brollan is criminal, the fact that he's been playing for so long yet he's only 21 is insane. I know he has always been pretty inconsistent (even though it seems like he's getting more consistent now with mouz) but I think he deserves to be mentioned still
The production value is off the charts.
Honda best rookie ever.
Started his career with a pistol ace against g2
Got a deag ace in the middlenof his career (7 rounds later)
And ended his career washed out (2 maps later)
When HeatoN randomly pops up instead of Fifflaren
It‘s either spirit donk or mouz frozen.
seeing as you’re loveposting today i’ll chime in and say GREAT EDITING VIVID 💕

today is a good day
I think m0nesy is the best prototype of rookie superstar, the kid is the flashiest among all of this rookies.
If you gave oSee to karrigan he would save oSee -Launders 2024
Amazing video, Was really interesting. My rookie of the year will go to Donk if he wins a couple more silverware and has those insane stats continuing.
Nivera
