Thorin's Thoughts - Building a Danish Super-Team (CS:GO)

Win Money Playing Fantasy eSports: alphadraft.go2c...
Some thoughts on who would be a part of a Danish super-team.

[@fabknows]

And thorin said :"Let there be skrilla" and there was skrilla...

[@remedy6201]

best intro in ages

[@jaysunzow]

"let there be skrilla" and there was skrilla

[@antix995]

I hope Alpha Draft pay you extra for the creative intros. I mean seriously, the intros are probably making more people remember the brand at very least.

[@official_kden]

6:30 in and i just noticed duncan is wearing his astralis shirt. astralis merch confirmed to keep you warm so your dont have to wear a scarf+jacket @home and can save skrilla for heating costs:]

[@bango_cs]

Funny usually choking makes you colder

[@Zelein]

As a dane, I approve this Super-Team. However, I still have faith in my boys Astralis, no matter what happens I'll support them.

[@Zelein]

Nishanth Moses They did. I was hoping they would too, because I really like the players on that team. But still, I've been supporting Astralis since they was known as TSM, and I'll continue doing so through the hard times as well as the easy ones.

[@MusicJunkie37]

Thorin! Watch out so you don't choke wearing that shirt..

[@CatnamedMittens]

+Deerv Clever.

[@MusicJunkie37]

+CatnamedMittens ”Michael Bialas” I learn from the best.

[@skillezkillez]

You're learning

[@fingamersroup]

+Deerv when did you meet Richard Lewis? :D

[@marcpascal4586]

lol

[@ViGeeMan]

I love these "Building A ______ Super-Team" videos

[@soffren]

I always really love when Thorin talk well about younger players. He shows that he has faith in the future of the scene.

[@frxddi9531]

Thorin the god predicted the Players to get cutt to win the Major!

ayyy good to see you here man :D

[@JakeSucky]

maur1ke :D

[@NTHNCSGOContent]

ayyyy

[@VezeTech]

Ayyyyy

[@tjtji99]

+CSGO News suhh jake

[@fuar3630]

Team Youporn should be astralis. If you know what i mean XD

[@johntrollston770]

no

[@MoneyNeverSleeps]

+john trollston cuz they choke.

[@smithii1867]

+john trollston choke

[@lukas5237]

That intro probably is top 3 ever xD

[@filipbunalti]

" LET THERE BE SKRILLA! "- Lord Thorin 2k16

[@EluneMusic]

These super team videos are the best. You should do them for other games too like league.

[@brokenb0nd]

+Stroose Music So you've watched ~22 minutes of video within 4 minutes of it being uploaded. kden.

[@CatnamedMittens]

+Ferdinand S You don't need to watch the whole video to make that comment.

[@ajdithya]

+Ferdinand S He's not saying anything about this one specifically. He's saying in general.

[@CatnamedMittens]

This super team makes sense, even the backups for Kjaerbye sound legit.

[@GeorgeSmithCoD]

Try and create a uk "super-team" aka an ok uk team that could even get to the major qualifier

[@smithii1867]

Weber fearless dephh surreal and mole

[@smithii1867]

Couldn't make a major but probably the best

[@GeorgeSmithCoD]

+Smithii good shout, for sure weber

[@smithii1867]

+Jacob “Op” Gunn nice shout

[@smithii1867]

+George Smith here is Webber now ? Ik fearless is at molotovs and marshmallows and sur and DEPHH are complexity and Aaron it NR but is Webber still playing

[@TimSKarlsson]

love your rants thorin!:) keep it up! also, like your sense of logic and the fact that u are a thinking human being.

[@maltez6446]

I agree that this is the best line-up of all the danish players, but there is one aspect that i think you forgot. Right now zonic is coaching the danish team, and from what i've seen he is pretty much just moral support (i don't know if he's very good at scheduling any kind of training or actually training the astralis team or anything like that). Right now the astralis team is playing very emotionally (if they win they win even more and gets hyped, and when they are losing they get discouraged and start losing more), but i think that zonic isn't doing what someone like karrigan could do for the team as a coach. When you look at what Karrigan brought to the team and made it what it is today, it was analysing the opponent and working on their own flaws. Kariggan's was playing the opponents well. MSL on the other hand is more of a pure tactic guy who fucks with the opponents head no matter what team (he is also good at analysing the enemy team, but i think Karrigan is better), and focused alot on the executes of the tactics. In conclusion: I would replace zonic with Kariggan, and nothing else. Love your vids btw you ginger god

[@32422]

Msl also holds inferno b site like a fucking spastic.

[@Christopherkloster]

+Malte Z Agreed. I personally don't think guys like Dupreeh and Dev1ce would play under MSL rather than Karrigan. One of the things Thorin pointed out about Karrigan was the team not listening to him - I don't think that would be any better under MSL. If I would choose, I would also be putting Karrigan as coach and use him as IGL at the same time, and only replacing him with Kjaerbye. Eventually Cajunb could get replaced by others, but I would let him be on the team for a little more.

[@PawelosKompanieros]

I would be very interested in seeing how you would construct a Polish Super-Team. We have VP in a slump with so much experience and the younger teams like AGG and CSGL with lots of raw skill and star players like Michu.

[@SARCASMlC]

I'd be curious about Thorin's thoughts on the new stuff going on with the ibp guys. Seems like richard is putting some work into trying to get them unbanned.

[@aaronthornsberry7413]

i fucking love his content, but i swear that the intros are the best part of these videos

[@MrAmbushDK]

I believe that there is so much hidden talent in the danish scene, just waiting to be discovered!

[@jcardz5342]

@thooorin y do you still think a ingame leader has to be a part within the players on the server. imho - MSL + aizy and but MSL behind the players

[@hardcoresizzen]

Thorin's Thoughts - Building a Swedish Super-Team. Please make it happen!

[@JoeMama-sd2kl]

i can predict that Olofmeister JW Flusha Dennis Krimz

[@lemon1747]

+Aspirion Fnatic with Pronax back

[@hardcoresizzen]

NissanTekna my opinion for the best team would be: Olofmeister Krimz Xizt Forest Flusha or Pronax

[@ollyrussell8582]

+Aspirion Xizt? I'd say get_right, dennis, twist or JW would fill that spot better

[@hardcoresizzen]

Olly Russell yea maybe you are right, but i feel his in-game leading and good aim is just too good to pass :)

[@Free4Noob]

i agree with kjaerbye being a good alternative to cajunb but i dont really see MSL performing better than Karrigan.. Probably in terms of tactics he would but as far as i have observed games MSL was underperforming in getting key frags ( just 1 to get on the CT side holding the site was often too much to ask already ). Additionally i think the time of the tactician participating in the active team is pretty much over.. MSL would be a great coach and strat caller in the back in my opinion.

[@maragossep3492]

I have thought exactly the same about Cajunb and Karrigan. Cajunb hasn't got the drive stay on the top skillwise. Karrigan hasn't got enough innovation anymore, and need to refill his bag of tricks, or leave the party.

[@kazumahyt]

To Long, Didn't Watch? Spoilers: Device - Astralis Xyp9x - Astralis Dupreeh - Astralis Kyaerbe - Dignitas, replacing CajunB | possibly Aizy/K0nfig MSL - Dignitas, replacing Karrigan

[@rohansamal]

thanks

[@arthurheinr3778]

Kjaerbye*

[@kazumahyt]

arthurheinr3778 yeah i knew i spelled it wrong but i just couldnt wrap my brain around it :p thank you

[@DanielSanderPSV]

MSL?? Really?? Aizy over MSL for days

[@kazumahyt]

+DanielSanderPSV to be an IGL. That's why I said replacing karrigan. Aizy is a better player, but brings less to the team

[@youtubemaybe6800]

You beautiful ginger god

[@jaszczur92]

Snax is also a great rifler who is now an awper as well.

[@arnonuehm1]

This Alphadraft intro gives me asmr >.

[@snowfloofcathug]

He switched from AlphaDraft to The Danish CS GO Scene in no time xD

[@Qbbur]

We all know the best CS:GO player is Devil.

[@mehuntpedbro2302]

yup.

[@small_dud3]

Who's mans

[@jonathanharvey5153]

+CottonGirrrrraffe better than fox :>

[@DavidR747]

+Jonathan Harvey have you watched fox playing lately or are you just going on the circlejerk?

[@jonathanharvey5153]

+DavidR747 Have you seen fox play on LAN recently? All his online games are against Envyus, who are having internal team issues, and Fnatic, who have gone through 2 stand ins since Olof's injury got worse, meaning they don't have much time to practice in-between matches to integrate them. Other than the Inferno game vs Envyus at Cluj, Fox has yet to show that he is worth the amount of money both G2 and Faze paid for him and what Faze is paying him in salary.

[@Timings]

Duncan, you should make a video and talk about all the teams problems and how to salve the problems and so on. Talk about making new lineups, and so on. It would be really interesting! :) What do you think? Please answer ;)

[@justhurricane5331]

I literally thought of the exact same players. I would kill to see this team happen

[@psnSupergrobi10]

The Intros are the best of every video xD

[@Bennime_Once]

1. What makes you think that astralis would listen to msl as an igl? (thats an issuse that the team has to solve) 2. I think Karrigan does a better job than msl as an igl 3. karrigan > msl skill wise in the last 6 month 65% of karrigans map ratings were 1 or higher, while msl only has 41% of his maps with 1 or higer. (according to the hltv ratings)

[@krishnasharda1652]

I hope you'll make a video on SK and what they need to improve. In my opinion they need to change their roles- magiskboy - awp friis - support igl moddii - entry pimp - attack acillion - lurk

[@exsk506]

acilion is a good igl they really should kick friis I watched all sk matchs and he was useless for sk

[@peterolsson3450]

these super team videos are amazing

[@ESPSJ]

Not to mention if this did happen you could still get a sick lineup for Dignitas with Pimp being a fragger again in Dignitas instead of awp.

[@bennygameplays4090]

Pimp dont wanna play with K0nfig

[@lato9843]

My advice to you THOORIN is keep another person on the line talking with you or whatever that would be really great if you are explaining this to a person that spices up the content i really love your contents but i also want you to go up on views and subscription i really hope you see this my friends think its boring since you are the only one talking and you're talking to the camera but i love to hear your contents and concepts so keep up the good work my man

[@Darkness3827]

"Let There be Skrilla" sounds like an amazing AC/DC song

[@sebastianfelix8140]

you should do a swedish super-team video and more of those intros!

[@Maex97]

right now i would like to see this Astralis: 1. Device 2. Dupreeh 3. Kjaerbye 4. Konfig 5. Valde

[@CatnamedMittens]

I love these types of videos.

[@doony1242]

Uploading while the sk v selfless game is on ? You found it that boring ? Kappa

[@djchange]

Building a norwegian super team: Rain, Jkaem, Rubino, ?, ?.

[@jakubSwaps]

Not enough good norweigan players.

[@Sinoops]

Aaaaaaand that's all of the Norwegian pros.

[@mattstaib1290]

+djchange Mystic, polly, reasten, centryz, zeves are all pretty solid players. I would put zeves and mystic with rain jkaem and rubino

[@Sindre1818]

+djchange Would need Zeves, only decent IGL in Norway

[@firetorch360]

Mystic and Polly, but then you just return to LGB at the end of their run

[@Bryanndk]

Actually, Cajunb is older than Karrigan - He is turning 28 this year afaik

[@peders5889]

you wouldnt consider magiskb0y for the same role as Kjaerbye? he seems like a solid young player

[@VictorGyo]

gr8 b8

[@Qbbur]

Worse than Kjaerbye.

[@ModelsAndYTPs]

+Pidi S ........

[@NTHNCSGOContent]

dude hes good online but chokes at lan

[@maj3stic289]

I would swap magisk for msl

[@chrisho1435]

shouldve ended the ad with a rhyme "and alphadraft saw what he had made, and the he got paid"

[@chrisho1435]

then*

[@rasmusandie5758]

Anybody Watching this in 2017 and u realize that he was right

[@lukamitrovic7446]

But what about -cajunb +pimp/magisk I do think kjaerbye is the best tho, just wondering? And please no aizy, maybe k0nfig in year or two.

[@trevorlewis4472]

+Thooorin make a video about cod 4 remastered

[@shoutyxlol3877]

All what you said was truth, idk why they dont swap rosters like change karrigan and cajunb for kjaerbye and MSl or someone just like you said... There is such a talent in device and dupreeh, they just need the right guys with them.. and then i think they can beat everyone..

[@cmft9358]

I hate the fact that you're most definitely right about Karrigan..

[@svenyproud]

what does 9k sallary mean? per month? per year? one single person or the whole team? does it mean device makes 9k taxes per month?!?!

[@TheRealRSD]

They announced that they're making 9k a month when they made Astralis. Not sure if that is pre or post taxes or how taxes work when they own the company

[@CornHacxGaming]

9k for each player a month i think

[@Daniel-il6uv]

+Sven Proud 9k per month without taxes

[@feetup7628]

+Sven Proud They deserve the money, esports should be paid that much or even more, they put 100 hours per week it should be considered as a real job and no surprise about 9k.

[@PierreSchnt]

Kjaerbye turned 18 yesterday btw.

[@allansimonsen5485]

why not put msl or karrigan as a coach and get even more firepower?

[@ImSlaazh]

14:28 Kjearbye turned 18 yo April 27, i dont know when you made video, just wanna let know ppl know he's 18 know :)

[@Siooox25]

It took me 7 minutes to notice that you wear an Astralis tshirt :P

[@MrDeathyness]

As a Christian, I found that intro hilarious

[@danw-m2974]

+patrick Magnus Nah dude I stopped believing in imaginary friends when I was 4 :/

[@sumo._]

+Dan W-M Atheists like you make atheists like me feel ashamed. Focus on finishing junior high, bud.

[@danieoo]

+Dan W-M people like you are why the majority of the internet hate atheists like you. just let the man believe in God you keep doing your stuff. no point in starting shit.

[@32422]

Dan W-M maybe you should let believe what they want to believe, and get a life :/

[@TerryProductions1]

Religion is poison

[@CR3471VE]

Funny how they actually did repalce cajunB with kyaerbe....appearently they are watching these videos as well :D

[@pekorabestgirl543]

So........ How many times have Thorin said the word "choke" in this video?

[@TheFurdice]

Just chaning CajunB to Aizy/Kjaerbye/Konfig and rest of the crew listening to Karrigan should be enough in my opinion. What about someone not star-power player to replace CajunB, surely two stars should be enough for success. (GTR/Forest, Flamie/Guardian) Adding Aizy could harm the roles. Maybe in that case Kjaerbye would be best, due to his young age.

[@XeroJ]

Next video talk about age in CS GO or Esports

[@kevinsf55]

You should do a CIS Super Team.

[@krishnasharda1652]

I feel like a roster shuffle at this point will fuck up the danish scene. Dignitas has a good thing going. They are easily the best T side in the world and have a great role balance in the lineup. All the players in Dignitas now need to do is improve on an individual skill level. On the other hand, I admit Astralis could do better with a roster tweak but it's a double edged sword considering how consistently they've been placing top 4.

[@Flo1093]

easily the best T-side in the world. ok m8

[@krishnasharda1652]

+Flo1093 easily the best T side in the world considering the talent pool i meant tbf.

[@Flo1093]

Krishna Sharda that makes a bit more sense :D

[@Shylar_]

where is the aizy clip?

[@sadbandit]

Thorin should get +1 scrilla every time someone says "skrilla"

[@Firo8]

yhhhh waiting for a video like this :)

[@Cloney1337]

Fixing Polish scene (aka fixing VP? ) And fixing Mousports (aka german super team) (which would still be pretty bad sadly)

[@Sm00thPanther]

the problem is that kjaerbye still have school and the same with aizy so they can´t focus all there time on cs:go.. and school for kjaerbye will take about 3 years or so..

[@svensken37]

Device, dupreeh, xpn9x, aizy, kjaerby , karrigan (iglcoach) = best dk team!

[@johncairns5069]

rip cajun

[@poddcasetv]

+svensken37 no aizy please

[@BRAXNYG]

xpn9x over cajun? u are crazy man :D

[@DaeLh]

+brax You cant have 5 mad fraggers. You need supportplayers, and that roll, Zyp9x is the best there is in Denmark. CajunB is not gonna be a bigger star than Kjearbye, Device and dupreeh so, no spot for him.

[@Mcbaby12345]

Next video, building a Swedish Super-team. That team would plow everybody

[@fragmeNNNNt]

TL;DW Device, Xyp9x, Dupreeh, Kjaerbye, Aizy/Konfig

[@JxCru]

Inaccurate.

[@ted22]

how many times did he say choke...

[@xPertShooting]

Where is aizy's video?

[@MrElmo197]

CIS superteam next please? maybe?

[@RuddyPooCandyAss]

agreed that would be awesome!

[@danzoeee]

I'd take my chances on Karrigan over MSL in that lineup any day.. Should've gone for Aizy instead of cajunb when that was a possiblity, would've won at least 1 title by this time considering just how good aizy was back then. Would've been a star duo with him an device and dupreeh as an X factor instead of cajun like now.

[@lacrimaeetpluvia]

karrigan is a godlike igl.

[@danzoeee]

***** They weren't in a slump back then either, pretty sure they were considered the 3rd best team in the world behind Envy and fnatic.

[@theforgegraphics]

Thorin, I played alpha draft and now I have more skrilla than you.

[@erikperon]

I actully talked about with a friend last week. I said keep Dupreeh, Device and Xyp9x and take in Aizy and Magiskboy

[@onionboy5673]

Online boy? :>

[@erikperon]

Fishy Stick what do you mean?

[@32422]

+Inferno he means he only perform online.

[@johncairns5069]

not magiskboy

[@Siooox25]

+Inferno I wouldnt put in Magiskboy. He didnt prove himself on lan and you also forgot an ingameleader

[@joseantoniomerida574]

Why make a video on this if Astralis have already done it ?

[@atreyu5592]

how to make a danish superteam : Sunde, zonic, ave, trace and minet. all up and coming talent with super potential.

[@honigson8776]

one of the best intros xD

[@superdocmen1510]

why was aizy in prison?

[@scaniakid85]

When he describes MSL 18:18 I died LOL

[@FDDMT]

Had the same list, would still like to see xyp9x become more stable though

[@DavidR747]

this shit is basically a hltv thread that says -someone +otherguy

[@androsp9105]

we smart we loyal we friendly we are from brazil

[@androsp9105]

azk he is the north american player but the titan he is the french stars.

[@jussik4687]

ceh9 (a famous youtuber)

[@MsTimetogrind]

best intro ever made rofl

[@pyroVoid]

I don't see why age is such an important criteria in esports

[@Liteg0]

+Peter Kolodziej Me neither. You look at other sports and some people play professionally into their 40s. While in eSports you're considered ancient and ready to retire at the age of 26.

[@Horatiusxa]

+Litego Milkman I think it has to do with reaction time and your muscles idk

[@Liteg0]

Thomas Perone Not like you need a fast reaction time in other sports, right?

[@cyrusgronk9316]

+Litego Milkman Other sports require a fast reaction time like CSGO does? Maybe 1-2 max

[@NiceEvils]

You may not agree with it, but scientifically a persons reaction times decrease as they get older so at 26 you are slower than at 18. It's not just reaction times it is also about motor functions (muscle control).

[@vivac825]

No Magiskboy?

[@danteodelero9557]

Interesting, I would have aizy over xyp6x, but either would be good.

[@cptawesome5234]

Xyp9x*

[@cyclop1312]

What about Nico?

[@TimSKarlsson]

yay! another one:)❤

[@casperkcdk7368]

Where are you from??? :D

[@TunnelSnakes_Rule]

MSL over Karrigan....nah

[@rohansamal]

I think Karrigans gets a lot more to the table than just his fragging.

[@belmin3905]

+Leviathan I Agree with you, he is mentally one of the strongest players.

[@WatoFBA]

Amazing.

[@HeyImBrim]

When Thooorin opens the video as God...

[@RunescapeKoOfTheDay]

Danish super team in League?

[@fammyw7315]

Kjaerbye for cajun?? That's a stretch to say the least dude.

[@42vincent42]

arent you making a LoL video after LCS spring split ended on purpose to tilt me ? ;)
