Counter-Strike's Ultimate Miracle Run

[@PhyFPS]

Because I'm a BOZO. This is the game that ended the 87-0 LAN winstreak for the Ninjas. www.hltv.org/matches/2239492/ninjas-in-pyjamas-vs-virtuspro-sltv-starseries-v-finals

[@alonemusk9201]

The moment you said polish legends i was like WHAT??🤨🤨

[@gosshawk]

i was just abut to say like "I could've sworn it ended on mirage" good to know I'm not completely amateur about the ninjas history, it is my favourite team after all

[@miezu2]

was about to say it was vs VP rusia :)

[@maxcy2890]

would like to see a video on the aussie scene if thats possible

[@Bukkitall]

Just to note, you said the "star four had been looking for a replacement" at 3:44, if you listen to the Reflections interviews with NiP members, most recently Friberg, they all state that removing Fiff was the organizations choice, and that they would have liked to keep playing together with Fifflaren indefinitely.

I think the entirety of the CS community is waiting for the resurgence of the swedish scene. The chemistry of swedish squads used to be unmatched.

[@faz_spaget]

As a Swedish cs fan I can absolutely confirm. Although I want swedish cs back, I wouldnt want nip or fnatic to do it. Johhny speeds and metizport are growing and if Nilo gets on johhny speeds, we might actually have something to work with.

[@zachalwicker]

I love that you focused on NiP after the 87-0 streak. I feel like a lot of retrospective NiP content we get focuses exclusively on that era up until their major win, and this was refreshing.

"Yeah hold on I'll be right there sweetie, my Counter Strike history teacher just posted another BANGER of a lecture."

They were the reason I fell in love with cs esports their energy and just how happy and sick plays they had were amazing. Im old and my memory is bad but either f0rest or friberg's pistol entries were unmatched!

[@thedarkcr0w]

f0rest is, was, one of the most consistent fraggers for 18 years. He is super slept on and not talked about.

Ah yes, forest. Super slept on, definitely not thought of as one of the greatest ever across multiple CS games

[@exspecT1g]

The Ninjas, especially GeT_RiGhT and f0rest were the team/people who brought me and many of my friends to the game and the esports scene we love. The loss against Vega really hit deep but to this day I still watch their streams and REZ' play. I feel like he deserves better though. The "newer" NIP seems like a pot of noodles where no sauce sticks. Seeing first GeT_RiGhT and now f0rest retire made me realise how long I played this game and how old I got. Having a full-time job playing sometimes in the evening and looking back were it all came from was a great callback. Keep up the amazing content it's what the CS-KZbin scene really should offer!

[@simonmatti9241]

[@igk916]

Man these videos your making this year covering the old history of the CSGO scene are just incredible. Ive been heavily invested in the CS pro scene since 2013 and seeing these old lineups and tournaments i watched growing up is bringing back so many memories. I didnt get to make it, but my 3 closest friends also went to that first IEM Oakland tourney as their first and only CS event they've gone too. We are so hyped for the Austin Major next year we are all going to fly out for it.

[@Wolfie_x1x]

PHY, I’m new to CS and I have just 200 hrs logged but oh man oh man I really can’t get enough of your videos. The raw emotion and ups and downs that you’re able to convey from tournaments from nearly a decade ago never ceases to amaze me and I am always looking forward to when you post now. Keep up the amazing work 🤙🏻

[@j.e.5834]

What a most beautiful vid! I remember forrest and get_right from 1.6, i remember the rise and fall. I remember the old SK and fnatic rivalries with that iconic rosters. Looking back in such sufficient commentated manner gives me chills. Well done! I'd love more of those revues.

Great vid! Makes me feel nostalic, and reminds me of the good ol' times when I was 12 and started with csgo and was the biggest NIP fan. To this day one of my best moments in Counter Strike is, when i played Get Right back to back in matchmaking. Sadly these times are gone now...

I see somebody is a fan of Secret Bases "deep rewind" series. Awesome video love how you ended it like they do just letting the moment play out and the video ends.

[@RayWI6]

They were every new fan's favorite team. I used to believe back in 2014 that Fifflaren was like a top 10 player cause' they would finish top4 everytime. I would've also liked to seen a nod to Thorin considering that he made the phrase popular/coined it.
