Too Good to Win a Major: The Tragedy of NiKo
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 26 ก.ย. 2024
- NiKo is Counter-Strike's most unbelievable, heartbreaking anomaly.
Despite being one of the best players of all time, his legacy is still in question - because when it matters most, NiKo just can’t win.
The first CS2 Major in Copenhagen was NiKo’s best shot at starting fresh - at kicking the door open and entering the new game as a legend.
And yet, with redemption at hand, everything slipped out of NiKo’s reach once more.

Hey everyone,
An earlier version of this video was uploaded with footage errors that have since been corrected. We deeply regret the errors and apologize.
Thanks for enjoying our content.
Wrong niko Kappa
noticed that xdd
Np mate
Please make a video about AK finally winning a Major Tekken Tournament.
W
we don't need the wrong niiko xD
This is re-upload. They probably realized one of the clips included the 'wrong Danish niko' from Heroic.
Kudos to you if you remember the exact reason they reposted this 😄
Was it because they posted a clip of the different niko?
Heroic niko
I thought it was part of the joke around both of them
we will always remember xd
danish niko 💀
Only true chads remember heroic niko being in this video
rip heroic niko :(
Showing the "shut up" clip as an example for bad temper is disingenuous, that's him after a round has ended trying to call a strat while his teammates are arguing about the previous round
Oh, that's why he was yelling over them.
agreed. this particular clip ironically shows nikos maturity on the server even at an early point in his career.
incredibly stupid to use the clip at 16:24 as "volatile temper"
Niko was trying to call and chrisJ + (i think) denis were still arguing about the last round and using up freeze time
Context is very important
wait he wasn't the guy from HEROIC?
XDDDDD
lol
that clip from mouz was NiKo telling 2 of his teammates to shut up because they were arguing not NiKo actually being toxic
Harry Kane of CS
Even as one of his biggest haters I'd sell my soul to go back in time so Niko could hit that deagle shot and take it to map 3
As a G2 fan, I wish you could too 😂
wouldn't have done much imo, NaVi were playing too good that tournament
ive hit shots that are not even on heads that was just the game fckng with niko HAHHAHHA
I love G2 but even taking it to the 3rd map wouldnt have changed anything. That was just s1mples major
Bro got CSGO'd at the worst possible time.
Love your unique style, never change!
There’s always that player that is very good wins almost everything except the biggest event. Niko and then Uzi from lege o legindz
now this video has been released, NiKo will get a boost next major
I kept wondering why this showed that I hadn't watched it, but now I see you all fixed the other niko's clips being in here
Rip Fat Niko
You will be missed
12:46 It never gets old
THIS IS ABOUT TO CHANGE
I feel his teammates holds niko back G2 2021
He was hard carrying that tourney, undoubtedly MVP if they won, but it's crazy how poetic it kind of is he got them there but also inadvertently lost us the second map
@@lotrdude13Well, he didn't single-handedly throw the game, but yes, that one whiff had big implications. 😢
I swear if he had the g2 that won Katowice 2023 and play the same way they probably would have win
9:23 What? Neither of these were write-offs for G2. With Antwerp, they had just acquired m0nesy and AleksiB, and had been in the final of Katowice. For Paris, they had WON KATOWICE ONLY DROPPING ONE MAP prior to the major. Neither of these majors were write-offs
I swear I watched this last night
Reuploaded, to fix the error where it had clips from the other player with the name "niko"
The first time felt so nice, I had to do it twice!
CS2 was way better at release than any other version of CS at the time of their release. NiKo deserves a major, hope he stays with G2 and manages to win one.
I mean, G2 v NaVi in PGL Copenhagen was much more entertaining that FaZe v NaVi in the Final
i will root for him next major
Hot Take, G2 win that javi series with JKS instead of Nexa.
NiKo is just Harry Kane of CSGO (CS2)
1:21 first shot is legit on head prove me wrong 😂
3kliksphilip did a breakdown of it that you should watch if you wanna know what happened
But it is not on the head?
niko will get his major in shanghai mark my words
now this video will age like wine, how it was done to alexisb
he just like ronaldo won major trophy ucl, league...but no world cup.
Niko "the rtz" of CSGO
Niko is Counter Strike's Dan Marino. Immensely talented but sadly destined to never win the big game
imagine having to repost whole video because of niko instead of Niko
The Harry Kane of CS....
Are you guys gonna post a video On Beastcoasts incredible underdog run from the latest r6 major?
Niko = Harry Kane
I love niko.
Banger video.
The thing is he missed 3 DE, his fault 😂
Why did u reupload?
in the last version there were 2 clips of the wrong niko in the video
Fate or not, his weaknesses are obvious, especially his mindset towards the game, which came clear during the SG meta. A dude one-taps you with zoom = bullshit, according to NiKo. Why? The hitbox is same size. Do Yekindar and K0nfig diss all 4:3 stretched users, because they have more zoom level?
There are also plenty of clips were he misses sprays on people running past him, possibly because of the jerkiness of 400dpi & super low sens. We are talking about sprays that most well-rounded T1 pros basically never whiff. It's almost poetic that he built his career on pixel-precision, and his career's biggest whiff is a Deagle-shot like 1 pixel off (although there's no guarantee they would have won the final map).
BRING BACK TRAIN
Faze kicked Karrigan, only to become one worst teams in the top 30 and eventually get him back then becomes the best in the world.
I wonder why this was reuploaded? 🤔😆
Because there were two clips of the other Niko (The one from Heroic)
@@Teevz Yes, my question was very ironic.
Rip Heroic Niko😭😭
arteezy of CS
If he tilts, he loses. No tilt, he wins. Prove me wrong
Same vid?
Think they cut out the scenes of the "wrong niko", there were a few clips of the Heroic niko, not the Mouz/FaZe/G2 NiKo
@@yanick0839 ohh alr thanks man
niko not winning a major is like ronaldo not winning a world cup
if he didnt choke boston and actually play like he should they would win but it was 9 v GuardiaN in 2018
Where is videos about crazy stuff going on in tekken man
Heroic niko is dead 💀
GOATKO
I comment to help statistics
Iem dallas 🎉
no more heroic niko (((
Deja vu
Guy was too unlucky in his prime and in these day, hes still good but unfortunately hes only a big player in small game
what
@@onemicyeehaw1583 The pressure on big ,important matches usually cripple his talent, way more than in the past. On the other hand when facing against lesser opponents he of course had a stellar performance
this guy was on his peek many years ago, when playing with karrigan, ropz, rain, etc.
look at his facial expressions during that time, and now. he was one of the goats at
some point, but just like simple we also have to stop overhyping things, when its time
to. there is no point besides monesy right now to be excited about anything around g2.
Niko was masterclassing 2022
deja vu wtheck
no more clips of me in the video :(
Re-upload !??
NiKo is the Ame of CSGO really a good player but cant win the big event.
Top 3 all time FPS players along with s1mple and dev1ce. He is insane!
No Monesy or Zywoo?
@@Rafael-rk8qn Beeing up for discussion as the GOAT requires a long career to show for it, Monesy isnt there yet. On the other hand dev1ce is deffinetly not the goat xD We all know that s1mple is the undisputed monster, and i would personally put niko in second place. In 5 years, the conversation might look very different.
@@eldorath1device is definetly one of the 3 best players of all time. Super consistent his entire career since 2014. And hes won More trophies than anyone else (except dupreeh who was his teammate the entire time)
23:56 / 24:02
?
repost
classic bosniaks, hard carries but never wins, its in our blood xd
why did you have to paint the narrative that he's toxic and difficult off the server? his former teammates have only ever had good things to say about him -- 15 minutes worth of research would have answered that for you.
CR7 is best football playerand still no worldcup same goes for cs its not so incredible
where tf is masters shanghai video? if NA win make vid instantly but if asia win yall are quiet like shanghai library LMAOO, RACIST and BIASED AF
Bro interviewing your staff does not speak for the cs community or validate your opinions. Please stop it, it’s actually annoying.
some of these guys are casters/analysts
NiKo is the most overrated player in the history of cs. Dude literally played under 2 different top 3 igl and couldnt win shit.
First
Niko is a failure, NA owned his ass and all other teams still own his ass 😂
NA is trash ahahahahaha
NA cant do shit when Astralis dominated
More of too overrated 😂
