Thorin's Thoughts - The Exhilarating Arrogance of Excellence

[@BlizZzinski]

One of the rare youtubers who is competent at doing entertaining in video promotions

[@the_bottomfragger]

These are definitely my favorite kind of videos, always very thoughtful.

[@kudamtema3386]

BottomFragger Agree a 100%. The best

[@drschwandi3687]

That intro was fire

[@ThornyMcPoop]

11:10 At this All-Stars event, SKT also played a game vs Fnatic where they simply picked a comp consisting of all the champions they had SKT skins for, even though the team comp itself was suboptimal / out of meta, and Faker normally never uses skins. They won with that too, and it made it more exciting to watch that it would've been had they just played "standard" and gotten every variable in their favor to make their win more "secure".

[@Roffet]

Syndra was Faker's signature champion when he was climbing to Rank One before becoming pro

[@tompossessed1729]

Tophe Faker made Leblanc famous but syndra was his main.

[@Mauricio-oo3dk]

Dfg syndra, disgusting

[@pelataan69]

same with LB so insane burst with no skill shots

[@MrJuico1337]

Thorin, even when you plug your sponsors you're a goddamn genius and a wordsmith. I admire you.

[@TheBLACKSTARmovement]

Ive been waiting a LONG time for more introspective videos like these! Thank you, Thorin, this is why I subscribed to you

[@CatnamedMittens]

That new mic is hot.

[@NarcolepticNerdProductions]

CatnamedMittens the cat, the myth, the legend.

[@NarcolepticNerdProductions]

Way to start off with a burn @thorin. Straight fire.

[@kudamtema3386]

Mindset kings everything. Few understand it but the ones that do love living this way because it’s the Only way we can. Bless

[@carlgardner2053]

Shots fired on that into XD

[@Olvrem]

Muhammad Ali, the king of trash talk and then backing it up.

[@revenflubber8536]

I hope you're getting paid a lot for this sponsorship because you're putting in hella work promoting them in a different way every video lmao

"Death intenser-death is life's high meed"

[@tiagopacheco4654]

You get a like for that burn, fastest like u got from me ever.

[@kanemay19619]

Machida didnt have boring style at all, when he was coming up for the first title reign , he had many exciting fights and finishes, he is rarely in a boring fight

[@kakateoto]

Mannnnn... This would end the current argument of Mark Selby and Ronnie in snooker for sureeeee

[@andrewnelson3292]

Also- I knew Art Jones in college. and he and his brother Chandler, both went to the NFL and are both big guys. Art told me once while we were bouncing that he and Chandler would always lose fights to his smaller younger brother when he was a kid and I should never want to fuck with Jon. I thought he was just joking with me (I mean who loses to their younger brother who is half their size?). Then Jon Jones went pro.I really felt sorry for Chandler.

[@Kadazzle]

I love these type of videos, and I hate to nitpick. Faker is exceptionally good as Syndra, because he had over 35% of his season 2 champions (on his previous username = rank 1 S2, starts with B but is a cussword) as Syndra, and he won an overwhelming percent of those games. Akin to Bjergsen, Faker played Syndra a majority of the time in SoloQ. Yes, he doesn't play it much competitively. But to ever doubt Faker's capabilities on Syndra, and by virtue disrespecting his play against Syndra, is heinous. His winrate as / vs is ridiculous. Close to 80% w/r competitive (77.8%). I agree with overarching narrative, but considering how much better Faker is comparatively to Xiye, it makes it a reach.

[@tempname4039]

playing it in pro games and playing in soloq are two completely different things

[@ClouthIsKite]

his quake shit is always 100% agree'd upon.

[@NaZtRdAmUs]

Used to love it when MMA went 2 rax in a final and won pure Excellence.

[@druggedsafety1584]

Cloud9 and Liquid are both top 5-7 teams in the world. NA rising. Once this new C9 roster clicks, they're going to win big tournaments. They have more talent and potential than IBP did in their prime. Autimatic is one of the best in the world making mid round plays, Stewie is an animal, Rush and Tarik both can consistently get the kills they're supposed to get, and then Skadoodle when on point is right next to Guardian and KennyS. Cloud9 deserves more videos Thorin, stop hating.

[@platoonmexx9278]

i allways hear maikelele xd

[@OwGash]

10/10 hearthstone burn, holy shit

[@DeTa1L]

Couldn't agree more.

[@pelletier086]

Are you talking about MSL?

[@HaiEllis]

I want to see Thorin on Joe Rogan

[@znojnyj]

Somehow I got flashbacks to Thorin's, and RL's respective podcasts with stillgay, and thought that it's probably a bad idea (#2riz), but, on the second thought, stillgay can *only* be matched by stillgay and by stillgay alone (no extra arrogance required!). So, he could go but there needs to be a contingency plan in case Joe decides to dedicate about 2+ hours of his pod to livingless "SJW-mocking" R&R circlejerk mumbo-jumbo *again*.

[@znojnyj]

It's not about joy of completion - it's about human spirit. Get your terminology straight, Thorin!

[@ExiledHeretic]

I know you're a gamer fan and an mma fan. Did you know Demetrious Johnson "Mighty Mouse" also streams on twitch? Reach out to him and do a Reflections please!

[@doggotbitm]

You should do a vid on the passing of internethulk

[@rexes92]

No matter how many times thorin tells me to bet in fantasy esports, I will never do it.

[@sacked412]

One word: McGregor.
