Didnt expect him to defend aleksi so much lol. Love it

[@likkasky2835]

Thorin's resume keeps getting better by the day

[@Chullachaqui]

I’d call this latest salvo of exceptional videos more a victory lap than line items on a resume

[@Monkeytownboss]

Glazing? No. Good work

[@FortheWolf]

Thorin so real that he can be super critical and make fun of a player but they respect him enough to engage with him.

[@matthewcox1314]

Shouts out to Thorin for always letting us know how the joke goes, so the joke goes. Great timely video brother

[@ChrissBetz]

Bro there would be a 10 hour video of him saying that from tons of different videos

[@charu1473]

"A lot of people don't know...."

[@72hrs_vermithor]

“By the way..”

[@cribless810]

"And it goes Iike this...."

[@EntrEsprit]

also always preparing us for when "spoiler" is coming 🙏

[@Padelkai]

next mission:Get Rez on an interview, dude literally is more shy than a mouse. could be interesting to hear his pov of all the roster changes during his 7 year tenure. Perhaps even why he has survived getting cut. Maybe what role suits him the best, sicne he originally just took fribergs entry role in 2017 and honestly looked really solid at the start. Maybe future aspirations since he isnt that young up and comming kid anymore.

[@skyfusion4153]

"And another one..." Banger as always. One thing that I really, really like about this one, is the end/outro of the interview. I've watched countless episodes by now. k0nfig is only the second or third guy to give his thanks to Thorin for providing him with a platform to share his thoughts and his POV. I've always thought that if it was me, that would be the first person I would show my appreciation to.

[@alanaslukjanovicius3287]

k0nfig, the danish ScreaM. So much unrealised potential

[@kylemoore5637]

no. Scream showed his potential being a #7 and #9 in the world at some point. Konfig only made top 20 once and it was only 14 and it was back when he was on north.

[@alanaslukjanovicius3287]

@@kylemoore5637 both scream and k0nfig could have been way more. Scream could have been insane in 2014 but we all know why that did not happed due to NBK and other french players not accepting him for a player that he is. K0nfig on the other hand made some bad choices and was in cought in some really stupid situations which derailed his career.

[@marius.1337]

31:07 is crazy

[@stef9019]

Can't help but cheer for this guy. Love watching him play, hope he gets another chance which might be his last. He'll probably have to grind back up a bit. Wouldn't mind seeing him on BLEED at all.

[@emanueljohansson4895]

No, he didn't like hampus nor litsen to hampus in NIP. So therefore ,no.

[@stef9019]

@@emanueljohansson4895 First of all, when did he say he didn't like Hampus? He said he felt like he got a bad side of him because he wasn't happy in the NIP project. Secondly, what choices does he have? Don't act like a top10 team is going to pick him up tomorrow.

[@nsf_318]

this was a crazy good video, i came back to watch this after you referenced it on good bad ugly and it honestly was a killer interview to get the insight on these topics from Konfig’s pov.

[@K0kEEE]

Great interview I don’t think I was expecting k0nfig to be this articulate about his flaws and his strengths

[@ChrissBetz]

Growing as a person is always nice to see. He will find his way back to a top 10 team

[@sankalpdas8675]

such a nice guy, hope he lands on a good team!

[@3tthree]

Love to hear from k0nfig sounds like he really has done some work, excited to see more from him in 2024

[@FormerBandit]

Thank you Throin for giving us really good insight into the pro scene

[@MrBurns-jc3kx]

Respect to konfig, need more players with this pov. Looks at the game as whole. GG

[@2pound625]

Such a huge fan of him for years because of that

[@bumbl3b3n]

I hope we see a k0nfig + BlameF reunion now that Blame is a free agent

[@oaks1934]

not a free agent, benched. his contract ends at the end of 2025

[@Frogesh]

@@oaks1934 up for sale so somebody needs to buy him out. assstralis probably gonna overcharge for him since they spent so much on stavn and jabbi

[@evolvedHE]

I have to thank Thorin for my life success because his 24/7 content output makes me get through work every day and make money to live

[@forasago]

13:55 headtrick question leads to mention of aleksib, aleksib was making all players their best versions. praising headtrick a lot. problem: when he's not happy on the team his individual form will get worse and worse. also the two IGLs expected different things from him which were hard to adapt to so quickly. 21:05 Paris major, felt great about team form for the first time. props to apeks. 28:28 end of major discussion. aleksib compliments and describing how he got kicked. it was a team decision also involving "some of the staff". k0nvict regrets it, worst decision he was ever "a part of". apparently other team members convinced him that hampus would be better so he went along. doesn't say who.

[@Llerme]

I love these videos. Really interesting insight! Thanks to k0nfig and Thorin

[@elizabethmurigi1131]

I nearly cried when he said he felt he didn't deserve better treatment from Astralis. The vulnerability struck a raw nerve

[@Kaylum01]

Damn good video, since the malta incident I was never too big on k0nfig but now Thorin you've shown he has matured a good deal.

[@marumi808]

huh all Aleksib haters in shambles.

[@w33dOr]

[@TugboatHS]

Thx for all the content! Would like to hear a interview with blamef next

[@joecurtis7124]

is always cool watching konfig pop off in games, guy is a mechanical monster when he's on fire. Could see an IGL like Karrigan being able to get the best out of him in the near future

[@Tyyppi]

good stuff, good impression of k0nfig

[@lankyhanky9772]

Hearing k0nfig talk about being top 20, and his motivation is very exciting. He is such a talented player, and I always want the best for the players who love the game.

[@SandwichManStudios]

Good interview

[@bobyplus2007]

Such a great a one!

Unforseen banger? Yes.

[@HahsJeje]

Good joke

[@B_Tannen]

Great to hear about these controversial topics.

[@JLNHB]

Good luck to konfig. almost felt like a job interview, he was saying all the right things. Good for him, actually seems to be healthy and positive. I wish more players would talk to thorin, it does make a massive difference on how players get perceived.

I hope K0nfig gets another shot at T1, but T2 on preasy would be decent as well

I do not know if Chris will read this message or not, but I really want to wish him good luck, no matter what decision he makes in life ❤

Why does he vibrate soo much while speaking,, bruh chill

Thorin you talk way to fast for us who is not native speakers.

Konfig is one of the most unlucky riflers on the market, although he had his fair share of f ups, but I remember this guy showing NIKO what is up on the server back in the day. -Nexa +Konfig.

k0nfig blames everyone but himself

he can soon blamef
