What a way to short-sell his unpredictability. He was so great and being in random areas, and had a knack for wondering off on his own and timing flanks properly
Make a video about your top 20 players of all time in 1.6 and explain why each of the players deserve to be on your list. Start from the 20th player and move forvard to 1st.
There is a video on youtube "Greatest CS 1.6 players of all time" as well as "greatest CS.16 AWPERS of all time" it has 5 parts and Thoorin is one of the co-creators/analysts of that top 50 list (hes name is mentioned at the end of the video). Go check it out.
Its kinda sad that the belgian ScreaM stole the nick from the swedish legend, and to make matters worse (as Thoring stated) he also copied his way of spelling it. I see a growing trend in CS:GO today with semi-pros and pro's using nicknames which they have stolen from 1.5 / 1.6 players (Hyper, ScreaM, steel etc) and its annoying. I wonder if this would be the case with cs in 10 - 15 years time aswell with people nicking Olofmeister, jw and such.
+Christian K Well considering Olof and JW are both based off their own RL names. It would be pretty silly. For someone called Dave to call himself olofmeister. Or Dave Smith calling himself JW. Bad examples:)
I would love a "Who is walle" at some point! I really liked him as a player, but when I started following international cs he was already at his peak or maybe even slightly past it, so I would love to hear more about the earlier parts of his career.
He was by far the most inconsistent player being seen as a top5 player in the history of cs1.6 and imo this setence explains your point better than your 25m movie. Nice history facts tho. gg
I won't same you're not wrong about spawn with some points, but say for example forest didn't get to his stardom till he got to fnatic and they were stacked from day 1 with talent. They also had consistency and were for the most part younger.
im pretty new to the CS competitive scene (as in watching it) but can anyone explain to me whats the difference between online and LAN competitive wise?
Online all the players are at their homes and are connecting through the internet, while at a LAN the players are all at the same location such as an event or hotel.
Thorin , i've been following the scene since mid 1.6 , but what i've always wondered is why pros ask hp after some rounds.. is there any specific reasoning behind it/ why do they often ask it?
Wouldn't say element is ok when he is one of the most impactful players in cs especially with his ability to read and dictate the game. Being at the right place and time. His aim tho wasn't the best but was really effective in his understanding of the situation
I don't think he was a top 5 player in 1.6, SK did fine without him. Element was a much more important player, Spawn's skin color played a huge role in why he's regarded so highly in many people's memory.
the finnish ''991'' called me just know and I went like WHA T THE FUCK ARE YOU DONT UNDERSTANDING :D:D:D:D:DDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD ''thus'' -imba-
Sorry thorin but nobody steals a nickname. I am a user of the nickname spawn.. have used it for Yonkers before spawn played even before 1.6 I started .cs in 1.1a days and never stopped playing.. because I use the nickname spawn people think I'm a troll that uses cheats and constantly report me. ... also you got crack jaw body Lol
Thorin is like the all wise Elder you go to if you want knowledge about the days of 1.6

Dont forget RobbaN
Why is there no AM anymore?
@@mimicr3y39 I think the Shape is not popular today and so they couldn't justify the price to make them, because people prefer EC, FK, S2, shapes.
Thorin you should do a "Who is ElemenT" ... this guy had a CRAZY understanding of the game from his time .... he was simply amazing !
He already did
One of my all time favs...raw Style with sick aim... Big fan, Im Playing since 2001. Stream more Spawn!
Time to go watch Sk-Believe
+JR_113 you fuckin know it!
You should release these as a podcast as well. If possible.
That would be great
What a way to short-sell his unpredictability. He was so great and being in random areas, and had a knack for wondering off on his own and timing flanks properly

Average Estonian Gamer On ESEA????

Racist ?

1 of my favorite players of all time. he was truly feared by teams in his prime with SK.swe
Do a "Who is Thoorin?"!
This channel is awsome! Just found this. and i love it
I know spawn IRL, he is a LEGEND

***** Thats true, and it might be bad example. But lets say Pronax, forest, Xizt, n0thing etc.
Christian K Well theres already forest the Bhopper, and i bet theres loads of people called nothing. Some names more than one person comes up with.
Too bad that "French" player is actually Belgian
it kinda makes sense to french scream copied swedish scream name because fr. scream back then was teen and he was fan of sve. scream.. 😃

I would love a "Who is walle" at some point!
I really liked him as a player, but when I started following international cs he was already at his peak or maybe even slightly past it, so I would love to hear more about the earlier parts of his career.

I Love those episodes! Would Love to see you do more players! Would Love to see you do potti, Walle, Mangiacapra, Jonny R, Fisker, Set.
He was by far the most inconsistent player being seen as a top5 player in the history of cs1.6 and imo this setence explains your point better than your 25m movie. Nice history facts tho. gg
Not like you're better lmao
+hellkiller33 What a dumb comment -_-
Do not feed trolls sHmAaa :D
+sHmAaa Can't really make statements like that when all you do is watch. Play against him then your opinion will be valid
+Darkzz Lord 100%
SpawN
Would be interessting to hear ure thoughts on the norwegian 1.6 scene and the downfall of it in 2007.
what's up with Thorin's jaw movement all the time ? Low quality cocaine or muscle spasms ?
cocaine laced with muscle relaxant
U should do an who is elemeNt, would be great :D
yes plz :)
Ayoub Hr he already did a reflection with element
Dropping scream in the shit right there.
I won't same you're not wrong about spawn with some points, but say for example forest didn't get to his stardom till he got to fnatic and they were stacked from day 1 with talent. They also had consistency and were for the most part younger.
No mention of his famous ninja defuse attempt!

Online all the players are at their homes and are connecting through the internet, while at a LAN the players are all at the same location such as an event or hotel.
At lan tournaments, you basically have zero ping, which can make it very different from online play
Can you make a video of Medion? Pls
Thorin , i've been following the scene since mid 1.6 , but what i've always wondered is why pros ask hp after some rounds.. is there any specific reasoning behind it/ why do they often ask it?
Because they thought they hit someone a lot and wonder how close they were to getting the kill. Damage dealt doesn't show in console in proper matches
gRime47MX Ye i know , ty for answer
If he doesn't place in your top ten, who does? Could you make a video on cs and csgo? On who you think is the top ten of all time at different skills.
Please do a Who is zonic or trace :) would be awesome :)
might sound stupid but would you be interested in maybe covering some of the r6 siege teams?
you should talk about the history of orgs like SK ,navi ,fnatic etc,,even with other games that would be great :D
1.Spawn
2.F0rest
3.Ne0
4.Heaton
5.Get-Right
Element?
Potti?
Edward?
Markeloff?
Whimp?
Zonic?
fr0d?
Well Element was ok Edward is really good and Markeloff is a legend you re right
Wouldn't say element is ok when he is one of the most impactful players in cs especially with his ability to read and dictate the game. Being at the right place and time. His aim tho wasn't the best but was really effective in his understanding of the situation
Neo is the World best player forever
No one of you mentioned Walle???

Superior Knives yea I don't think of lists well off the top of my head and I don't think about my favorite players very often

Where is SpawN now?
Spwan is the best palyer in cs 1.6 ever
Majlind Avdylaj no he is not. and this guy was asking in which team he is now. Not who he is.
I am not asking in what team hes in cause he stopped playing cs go and he was insane in 1.6 iam jus wanna know what hes doing hes job or shit
magikerN ok thanks for the clarification
+magikerN his tryna go pro again
first 7 seconds pretty much answer the title
you forgot phoon hes legend too man :(
Do a who is patrick ScreaM roth

Players like f0rest and gtr rate spawn as one of the best. That tells alot imo..

One of the good players from 1.6 is n0thing,he transitioened from 1.6-csgo which is hard imo

He has been underwhelming and even a detrement to his team but whatever you say.
Fallen?
Simple?
Pasha?
f0rest?
Get_right?
xizt?
Neo?
I don't think he was a top 5 player in 1.6, SK did fine without him. Element was a much more important player, Spawn's skin color played a huge role in why he's regarded so highly in many people's memory.
Pretty sure SpawN and SK still doing well in 2005 which was after elemeNt leave
name 5 top of him

Make a video "Who am I?"

Khalixth0 ummm no, there is nothing wrong in not knowing..
Cheers to everyone's favourite nigga, no offense heh.
XeqtR
lol
SCROME
Im pretty sure i can play counter strike better than this guy. And i have a feeling that he is a camper 😅
hahahahahaah,its not all about skill,patience luck timing
+Kekss 2202 you mean camping? Lol
based off what you just said I'm pretty sure I could beat you at csgo
bro he was a fucking legend. Its not about aim & etc either if youre looking that direction. Gamesense is a huge part of it.
Go back to COD kid. No such thing as camping in CS
All you talk about is stuff you have read somewhere. So bad
+CatnamedMittens “Michael Bialas” he probably died, because of the high level of autism he had
Sorry thorin but nobody steals a nickname. I am a user of the nickname spawn.. have used it for Yonkers before spawn played even before 1.6 I started .cs in 1.1a days and never stopped playing.. because I use the nickname spawn people think I'm a troll that uses cheats and constantly report me. ... also you got crack jaw body Lol
