[@JordanYee]

Wow, can't tell you how much this made me smile, Warowl. I know you're not heavy into the competitive side of CS anymore, but it sure makes me nostalgic for some of your old content. Strat Talk will always be one of my favorite series that you did. Hoping we get a few owl visions in the next part ;) -Hrairoo53

[@aa4a-a4]

Jordan Yee On the topic of old series, Bring back Exploit hunters!

[@JordanYee]

I had a lot of fun with that one, although I do think that premise was something 3kliksphilip always had a better feel for, largely because his map-making experience allowed him to articulate exploits better. For me, Warowl's tutorials and Strat Talk series were always where he shined. Those series are where his goals of combining education, humor, and competitive gameplay shined the brightest.

[@JordanYee]

To clarify what I meant, Warowl has specifically said that he doesn't follow the professional scene anymore and doesn't plan to make eSport-focused content a prominent part of his channel anymore. I'm sure he still enjoys it as a fan, and usually releases a few videos here and there (usually during the majors or US-based IEM events that he can attend), but if you remember what his channel was like when csgo first came out, he was casting every prominent match, he had mini podcasts where he'd discuss the pro scene, he'd break down pro tactics, etc. That's what I meant by competitive cs.

[@SaviorSwords]

The Mega Man X songs also helps on the nostalgic factor too! ;P

[@alxdregomes]

i disagree. in my opinion the biggest win in go history was LG's on columbus 2016 cuz at the time counter strike scene on brazil was almost inexistent. it was great because they never gave up. they were the underdogs during their whole grind to the top and they did it. without a scene on their country and without the support they now have.

[@Cueiosamuraio]

Alexandre yep

[@Ryan-sr8fg]

i still think this rivals it though, i think this Major was a close second overall but the best in my heart, but thats my subjective look as this entire subject is

[@shpedrinha]

Don't forget the comebacks against Liquid. I love warowl and his videos, but this one is pure hype and patriotism. It was a HUGE win, and probably the biggest finals of all majors and they deserved it a lot. But not the biggest win.

[@crustyrage4008]

Thing is the LG core had been showing really strong form and had attained Legend status repeatedly already. C9 hadn't made playoffs of a major since Hiko was on the team. Add in the opponents faced by both teams in their major run. LG only had to beat teams ranked lower than them until the finals when they faced NaVi, but C9 had to beat 3 of the 4 teams ranked above them in bo3 in ascending order. C9 had a harder path to the finals and an 0-6 map record against their opponent in the final. LG were slight underdogs in the final but nowhere near as unfavored as C9. Almost no one even thought the final of this major would be as good of a match as it turned out to be. And as inspiring as LG's rise to the top was, C9's run was a much bigger underdog story, at least in my opinion

[@davidj6599]

[@hugocosta6125]

Well he is a fanboy what can you say...

[@davidj6599]

No, it's important from every standpoint. It's important from a pros standpoint, it's important from the viewer's standpoint, it was an important finale, it was a finale that produced tension, it was important from a regional standpoint, it was important from a competitive standpoint, and it's important for discussion. It's important from a professional standpoint because, an NA team had just taken a major tournament win, in like forever. This means that professional teams will have to prepare for taking on Cloud 9, the particular NA team that had taken achieved this win. It was an important finale because, well, there was a large audience, many top contenders, and a lot of prize money to be earned. It was tense because it was a double overtime. It was important from a regional standpoint because, as mentioned before, it was an actual important win for NA, since like forever. This means that it may inspire people that want to try and go to the next level, and it keeps America (A large significant World Region with a big fanbase), into the competitive scene (Because they're very nationalistic, and most of them only like to see their team win). It's important for discussion because . . . Well, we're talking about it right now, so it must be pretty darn important. Therefor, I do see how anyone can consider it the most important win in Counter-Strike History. Not to mention, this win was achieved by C9 (The Underdogs) fending off against the top 4 teams in the world. So, it's quite the tale as well. This tournament had been exciting, unpredictable, and a sensational topic.

Let’s just enjoy the game for entertainment value! I wouldn’t have minded if the game went either way, but I am incredibly proud of Cloud9 for doing what they did. Regardless of what anyone else says, this remains true: they played incredibly well. It made for an amazing show.

[@patriot2224]

Every single time an upset happens everyone runs to all of the excuses and gives no credit to the team that won, it's sickening. A team doesn't win a major just because the other team "wasn't playing like normal" or some shit like that. It was really scummy of SK to come out and say that it "didn't feel like a real major" and "for us isn't really a major." Just because you're down one of your players, doesn't mean you take it out on the major. They haven't had a solid 5 man team in a long time because they keep alternating players so it's their own fault. SK, way to take a players greatest moment of their lives away by saying "it wasn't a real major..." I agree G2 is inconsistent but they just flat out choked against C9. It should have been a sweep for them but C9 sweeped them by outplaying them. As for Faze... I agree that Karrigan DID choke a bit. It was the first major final for 8-9 (don't remember exactly) of the players and he just choked under the pressure. As for Niko, most of the tournament he had to take 1v1s against Autimatic and he just got outplayed and outsmarted on most of the engagements. Faze were simply outplayed. Cloud 9 deserved to win that major more than anyone because they adapted and outplayed every team they went against.

Fallen tweeted that before the major even started, and he congratulated every player from C9, also according to Stewie2K, he and SK are good friends. Keep crying here on KZbin while players give 0 fucks to you.

[@patriot2224]

Literally their whole team, especially Taco and Fallen, in interviews AT the major said stuff like, "this doesn't feel like a real major" "for us it doesn't really matter" all because the salty Brazilians didn't have things go their way with their 5th player, which is only their own fault. I don't give a fuck whether the players care about me or not, I just hate to see toxic players take it out on the major itself and downplay the whole thing in the height of someone else's career and ruin the best moment of their lives, just because they're being salty. Thorin made a whole video on how scummy SK were being and shamed them for doing so.

[@orangeviperau9960]

Yeah yeah, SK trashtalking about ELEAGUE Roster Locks, don't disrespect C9 wins. NA Scrubs A HELL

[@MrPedrusk]

Zombie Hunter Thorin also said that C9 vs Faze would be the worst finals ever, that C9 was one of the most overrated team ever, and that NA were nowhere near the level of EU. Do you also agree withthat, or you are just a cherrypicker?

[@eniobazante2798]

Zombie Hunter FalleN said that because they just the legends status, to win it when they can play with boltz

Hell4u14 - Gaming channel! Got to make that extra buck

[@Denseh671]

Hell4u14 - Gaming channel! Lmao I remember you, I was a part of the Minecraft community before xD

[@es0teric76]

A man's gotta do what he's gotta do

[@Isaax]

Hell4u14 - Gaming channel! Except that the video is demonetized

[@oskarnyberg6567]

[@solarr5143]

Coldzera, is that even a question lol

[@hiimyou2409]

69honor best awp is guardian followed by skadoodle then Kennys. I agree with simple

[@_LeafEdits]

This was a great recap of the events. I'm sad i missed them because of my time zone but at least now I'm well updated and informed.

[@chrisdonahue]

I'm telling my kids this was the revolutionary war

[@Brixen44]

"The Biggest Win in NA Counter-Strike History" - that's the title that wouldn't we missleading :) Of course huge congratulations to C9, that goes beyond any doubt!!! :) ;)

[@sacredprovenance5451]

but its like the only win in NA counter-strike history so that's a given

[@pwner332]

Marox44 beat top teams in the world to win the major, plus NA never won before

[@HuskyAim]

Tbf, beating the best 4 teams in the world back-to-back as an underdog....then taking it into double overtime vs the best team in the world AND beating them as a "Shitty NA team"(being the first in history to do so) yeah...it is the best major in history.

[@notkraezy39]

Oolofmiester is the best booster ! XD

[@iliya3580]

Meh, I don't really buy their win against SK due to the fact that they had already played a tiresome bo3 the same day and because they played with felps, whom SK are terrible with on Inferno

[@mico4484]

Nobody gives a shit if you "buy" their win or not.

[@bhavinmaru985]

Still the fact that they won against faze....currently the best team in the world sums up the fact that they played better

[@danielospitia3277]

Hahah the prediction of excuses were 100% accurate.

[@iliya3580]

_Lord That's why it's called a personal opinion

[@iliya3580]

Daniel Ospitia Just like how I predicted how angry NA supporters would react to my comment

[@gold9994]

I didn't realize that it was the biggest, until I saw 3 back-to-back massacre in major finals.

[@TomasOBrien]

This win was so intensely satisfying because, if I remember correctly, this was shortly after the 0-16 choke by team liquid and North American CS was "always the brides maid and never the bride".

[@FoxyCS_]

Please do video of Cloud9 vs Faze clan | Finals (best of 3)

[@miqelos3039]

How many best player in world are there? like.....

[@miqelos3039]

bboykenex but he said that like 10 times tbh

[@danielospitia3277]

MiqeloS because multiple people can be considered the best at something as time goes, especially in competitive scenes like csgo. It's not easy staying on top

[@fleexie]

Daniel Ospitia Then it shouldn't really matter to the current situation. As you wrote "It's not easy staying on top". Yes some players were considered the best in past, but not anymore. The current situation I don't think that majority of the players WarOwl mentioned were at their best. Some haven't been for quite some time meaning their skill level may be in decline. So is it really a good way to meassure something? From what I saw several of the past "best players" seemed way off compared to the past. While there were people on their teams that did better. Though C9 did really well and deserved to win imo. Btw I do understand why some people may make connections between present and past. I personally don't think it's a good idea if the people are still active but have fallen. Mainly because of the fact that they are not at the position that people try to compare with. If all of the players were at their best, we may have had seen a different outcome. Though it would be retarded to even think about. C9 played very well, had a few missteps but still got through.

[@danielospitia3277]

Fleexie it does matter because these players are still good....other people just become better... that's why its not easy to stay on top...so yes it is a good way because these teams were filled with great skillful players

[@fleexie]

Daniel Ospitia Yet those players were not at their best which was when they were titled "best players" You can clearly see that some of them are far from as good as they used to be. They may still be good but if they are just good and not at their peak then I would still not do a comparisson. The only good way to compare in my opinion is through statistics from their prime. But is still not a good way tbh, as they may not have faced each other back then. Anyway it's just my opinions. It's just kinda undermining the prime of those old "best players". I know right now people are using it to praise C9 which is fair, they deserve it. It just happens at the cost of past. Some of these players were really beasts but now they are as you mentioned "good". (Again my opinions)

[@CB_here]

7:10 damn it was so much less intense without The commentary

[@pingupungo3365]

so happy to see another vid!!!

[@mct_3551]

used this to remind me which teams cloud 9 played against and rewatched them :P

[@d1mensi0n70]

You can not describe my disappointment for that round 3 finals when I was watching live on Twitch. Not because I don’t like Cloud 9, but because I’m a FANatic, and after that, SK Gaming (because those were the first teams I heard of). After C9 beat SK, I was really hoping FaZe would shut them down. AND WTF DID I GET IN RETURN?!?! But really, Skadoodle beat FaZe with his teammates making a couple of plays here and there. But yeah, C9 deserved it (act like I said that reluctantly).

[@solarr5143]

Everyone played amazing, not just SKA

[@nelaf]

If you think skadoodle was that major of reason for their win you probably didn’t see the same major final I did
