'Reflections' with NBK

[@Felixdaq]

Finally someone with english good enough to give us some insight into the french scene :D I really hope we can find a Brazilian that can do the same. **hint** FalleN **hint** Please :-)

[@eiatos]

+Felix He actually tweeted a while ago that they recorded a Reflections episode so heads up :>

[@Thooorin]

+Fartickles I've never interviewed FalleN

[@nikch1]

+Thooorin Great, next is FalleN then!

[@WhosGu7aa]

+Felix what are you talking about, Scream masters english perfectly. Kappa

[@bennygameplays4090]

+Gutah seriously noo

[@skatersridge]

reflections with seangares? EDIT: thank you for doing a reflections with seangares

[@shamu6935]

+skatersridge PLEASEEE

[@00HoODBoy]

+skatersridge oh yes that would be sick!!

[@shank4233]

+skatersridge what would they talk about dazed, hiko, semphis covered everything

[@tadtakuma]

+Raphael Arasu I'm sure there's still a lot to talk about his departure from the team and how C9 was at its prime etc.

[@skatersridge]

+Raphael Arasu m8 if i knew what he could would talk about then i wouldnt ask for a reflections

[@jimmyalistar]

Thorin you deserve atleast 250000 subs, you put so much time into your videos and you try to give a proper understanding to many people about different games.

[@tayonic5499]

Don’t worry he just got 250k

[@shakchyamsubedi3383]

I've been waiting for this. Oh god, grab me da pop-corn

[@mbsfaridi]

Didn't knew these videos had time-stamps in the description. Thanks!

[@TheElectriczil]

I have even more respect for NBK than I already did after this props to you both really informative and entertaining

[@00HoODBoy]

yessss, thank you so much for this series duncan! nbk is just awesome

[@NTHNCSGOContent]

Love the start

[@Plague391]

NBK has been my favorite player since the source days because of his playstyle and capability to adapt to different things and roles. But this interview gave a lot of insight to his thoughts and all of the things that haven't been openly discussed before (ex. how he has been behind many changes of the past). And now, after hearing his reasoning, I respect him even more.

[@officialreek]

+Plague391 You love him, lol

[@Plague391]

[@andreasgutzold]

Semmler on another CSGO talk please, probably one of my favourite episodes. Love the videos keep it up.

[@cs2fx]

my favorite csgo series

[@Tindlol]

The Reflections series has some of the best interviews within esports.

[@maxehhh]

Great interview, NBK is one of the most intelligent player in the scene, nice insight.

[@SARCASMlC]

Do a reflections with shroud and talk about why he struggles on LAN compared to pugging. You've said it yourself, watching him stream he looks like the best player in the world, but doesn't perform against better opponents. I get a team environment is different, but he definitely doesn't live up to his potential on LAN. We've seen him perform in some tournaments like the ESL ESEA Pro League, but not since then. Getting a top player's (who isn't banned) perspective on the NA scene would also be interesting. And we'd get some insight on where C9 is at in terms of roles within the team would also be nice. Or not, just an idea,. love the videos man.

[@SARCASMlC]

+Sarcasm Or you could get some of the same info off n0thing and get to talk about more of a history thing like you did here with NBK, which is probably more fitting for this series as a whole.

[@brandonmay7885]

+Sarcasm CH0KER jk

[@qwerty2409]

NBK is obviously a very important player in a team , but more importantly in a french team .. im french and i always said if a french team can fix their " outside drama" and get people to work together consistently , they would be unbeatable .. players like NBK , happy have that mindset , work for the greater good and thats the most important thing in cs imo what a great interview by thooorin , but there is a question i would have added wich is , NBK explain life as a cs player , wich is obviously good , but we all know cs carriere dont last forever , kinda like sport carreer , i would've like to know how does he see the french scene in the future , who could come and represent france like the player in NV and titan did , cause atm i see no one in the french subtop at that level ..

[@HiltonMoyle]

By far my favorite player in the pro scene at the moment. Really trying to progress the game and one of the people who doesn't just use the same 5 weapons every game.

[@Vip3riBzK]

LOVE THIS F*CKING SERIES MEN HELL YEA... sry :>

[@Zarrakon]

Edgy

[@CatnamedMittens]

+Vip3riBzK I love every series

[@TheLuketreewalker]

+CatnamedMittens “Michael Bialas” omg the first comment

[@sebastianmora1448]

God, NBK is a man amongst men

[@SaberStash]

watch priority: Fucking NOW

[@CatnamedMittens]

+Mrandom101 I dig that.

[@danzoeee]

Great interview, great answers from the rock from France..

[@Borzoi_Hoss]

Couldn't ask for a better player to do a reflections episode on.

[@TheAllerston]

You've interviewed NBK, one of the top French players and touched upon things such as 1.6, Source and GO. You've interviewed JW (twice) and Friberg about the Swedish scene and the controversies in recent years. You've added Dazed to the list, a name synonymous with controversy within the NA and CS community in general. After crossing off Sweden, France and America, is it possible we could get some insight into the UK scene from someone who's been around since the days of 1.6? As a fellow Brit, I'd love to see one of the top players' thoughts on why the UK scene has deteriorated so much and which teams have the most potential to emerge into the international scene in 2016/17. Based god of scrilla, lord of the analyst desk and baron of banter, will you not entertain me? (In all seriousness, I'd love to see this)

[@mattp7109]

I would also like this so much

[@chrisfps7]

+TheAllerston HenryG possibly?

[@mattp7109]

chrisfps7 yop

[@chrisfps7]

MpopGaming HenryG would probably be the best options right? Considering how much he was into the UK CS scene

[@mattp7109]

chrisfps7 very true i would like this

[@TheZwerfer14]

Oh my god I love this :) Thanks NBK!!! I might listen this for 2 times lol, that would be 4 hours of listening to NBK hahahaha I really liked it NBK!

[@MrWill1729]

whos watching after scream destroyed new g2 supermeme

[@nyawk6387]

And are you watching Majors? Is ScreaM destroying someone at Majors? Oh wait......

[@SJVegetto]

Now Scream got destroyed

[@brendand1543]

Ayyyy NBK one of my favorite players

[@CatnamedMittens]

"It's just going to be them, the game, removing my personal wills for the greater good of the team" Sounds like they're entering a monastery as monks, where CS:GO is their sacred text.

[@IIIlllIIIlI]

That's what moving somewhere to pursue a profession is like, so yeah I guess so.

[@kalisti2323]

really interesting! NBK you're very eloquent, I enjoyed listening very much!

[@TheHammerDedicated]

thank you i was running outta things to do... its not like i can study 8PM

[@CatnamedMittens]

What a guy. I wish him luck.

[@GandaIfThePink]

do one with shox so we can hear his thoughts of ex6 and the french shuffle and so on and if he doesn't want to do it do one with maniac or if you don't want to do it, go on with your life

[@amhyams]

WHERE IS "REFLECTIONS WITH FALLEN" FFS

[@s1mo-RBC]

still never gonna happen - 2018

[@hibye404]

that intro was amazing

[@Gagannnasf]

dat intro*

[@rizzcs6018]

+gagandeep singh Dank Intro*

[@konduktor40000]

I think that the reason why gaming houses in LoL are more succesfull than in CS GO, might be that in CS there is more travelling while in league is mostly about LCS/LCK which is played in on place so it is easier to live with your teammates when you don't have to travel that much.

[@chinarep1]

He should also mention at that part when they're talking about scream that even if you do have amazing aim one tapping doesn't work in a game where 50% of perfectly aimed one tap headshots miss at medium range.

[@chinarep1]

***** Good point but I think even scream would have to admit that it's safer, and more economical, to assume that you're not gonna be able to aim with 95% accuracy and so he really should just try to master spraying lol. Maybe if he proves he can be that human aimbot everyone says he is the sg will be worth it for him.

[@Bjaerkai]

+David Livermore Can u say fast what nbk says about ScreaM? I dont understand him.

[@chinarep1]

CS:GO Tr1ce He pretty much says scream's tap style of shooting is only worth doing over spraying if you have really high accuracy (above 95% is the example he used).

[@Bjaerkai]

David Livermore Yeah, i really sad now but sceram changed style to half spraying half tapping. He get with half spraying yesterday 31 kills versus australis in 1map. And carry g2 to win 16:8.

[@chinarep1]

CS:GO Tr1ce I mean he pretty much had to switch styles because valve is too dumb to realize their spread system is fucked.

[@official_kden]

someone from astralis next? could be interesting

Liked, subscribed, favorited. Shared on Twitter, Google+, Facebook, Instagram, Pinterest, and Tumblr. I burned the video to DVD/Blu Ray/thumb drives, printed a code people can scan on it with their cell phones, which automatically tags the video on their Facebook, Twitter, Tumblr, Google+, Instagram, and Pinterest, and it subscribes them to your channel, emails you a message of support, and likes and favorites the video. I sold hundreds of copies of the DVD/Blu Ray/thumb drives of this video, and all proceeds will go to a dog shelter, who will receive tickets to a raffle the shelter will give away to a live stream-a-thon of your videos. And I downloaded this video, printed out every frame, and had each one tattooed on one square 1/18" on my back

[@Shayanreloaded]

+Jonko wow, actually never seen this before

[@l.z.6553]

hahaha

[@NuclearNubs]

RpK is in G2, not Titan. I thought you were better than this, Thorin.

[@elijahmikaelson4457]

+Max Morris you tried to be smart and thooorin called you out being a dumb ass

[@Shishibukai60]

i think its too bad that u didnt ask him how shox was in source, what kind of player he was the style etc , just like you did with RpK other that that great interview gj

[@homoerectus666]

dream French lineup(which im hoping for the next french shuffle) Shox, KennyS, NBK, Happy and APEX or k1o and Ex6TEnZ as coach/offensive coordinator of some sort

[@m4dalex478]

A good argument that answers why gaming houses work better for Asian players which also explains their hard working mentality is that they come from a much poorer social background. Most of them come not only from nations that have this hard working mentality embedded in them, but they also see the gaming house as a real opportunity for a better life. A way to escape poverty. On the other hand many of the EU and NA players come from mid - high class families missing the mentality "i have to make this team work or i am screwed". And this is also probably the reason why many EU and NA players decide to change teams themshelves while on the other hand most average competitive Asian players that change teams is because they get kicked (not talking about the star players).

[@batmanv2219]
