Thorin's Thoughts - Who is f0rest? (CS:GO)

Some thoughts on the career of f0rest.

[@NaToSaphiX]

Hey Thorin, would love to hear your thoughts about KennyS and how he has evolved throughout the years. :)

[@jk3l]

Omg its the real Nato

[@M2theAGGOT]

Go pro already man

[@craib8226]

Juzh123 best csgo awper, maybe, but not player

[@hampustornros]

M2theAGGOT lol, this nato guy can't go pro, he is a good player if you compare him to the average csgo player but being a high rank doesn't mean you can compete with the best.

[@soskul442]

***** Best awper, probably in the top 5 players (if not top 3) His game sense isn't the greatest considering he fell for a glock as a flashbang... But he's really... REALLY good at aiming in the "sweet spots"

[@temps1959]

f0rest + neo... back in the day that would have literally ended lives

[@mellow5857]

Dont forget GeT_RiGhT ;)

[@vincents.6310]

Nikan Moradi GeT_RiGhT was good in 1.6 only in the latter years

[@mellow5857]

Vincent S. Yeah true.

[@HoobaBros]

Thorin is like ALMOST the only person i could describe as an "expert explainer" or something, his personality and the full package is like close to perfect. Also very good entertainment for almost any cs player that wants to learn from experienced people. thanks and lots of respect , your accent is nice aswell btw.

[@jodasaatte80]

Good stuff, as a follower of the CS pro scene since 2001 I can really relate to the early days of 1.6(which was obv a few years later than that) and f0rest's breakthrough with Begrip. Actually, I played more than a few times against him myself around that time and he was just inhuman(even frag movies don't do him justice). The eyeballers team right before will always be my favorite team of all time, but the fnatic team in 2006-2010 was a pleasure to watch and I admire that the core stuck together for so long in a time where it felt like the lineups were changing from one tournament to another. I'm impressed that he's still going strong with a top3 team.

[@markusbrewitz8231]

Gotta say man. Your CS:GO content is amazing. Pretty new to the scene and getting these are amazing. Thanks a bunch!

[@QenaitheCustodianGuard]

F0rest have actually said that he is at his best when he can sort of play two games ( f0r used to play alot of dota ) because then he would be really motivated to go into practice CS with his team. Very interesting imo that someone of his immense skill can suffer from lack of joy and / or motivation of the game he loves so much.

[@chowsta168]

Very informative. It's great to finally get a glimpse of some of the specific techniques that made f0rest unique

[@1m1337noSh1t]

Best swedish player = best player in the world.

[@allenjoseph3905]

except when Kenny s was best player

[@allenjoseph3905]

lel not French

[@AppleiPhoneHelp1]

roman from mousesports was the best player in the World. He was from Germany.

[@mellow5857]

Roman was the best in the world for a couple off months at the best. He is so far behind all manny 1.6 players like Neo, F0rest, Markeloff, Potti, Heaton, Edward, GeT_RiGhT, Kogu, Taz, fRod and etc.

[@AppleiPhoneHelp1]

Nikan Moradi Dude u dont know cs at comeptitive level and i think u dont play 10 years or later and donzt look all demos. roman was a inhuman machine look at his stats from 2005-2010 i dont know the link now but hid kd (kill/deathrate was 1,42 in 100-300 matches. He was definatly one the best. And his kd rate was the best in hltv.org from all top Players. roman, GeT_RighT then the rest dude. f0rest maybe have the most Talent but he is not in every match a monster and in the past he played way better. Belive me. roman fucked f0rest in every demo i see from him.

[@m0dex]

Drinking game: Take a shot every time thorin touches his nose.

[@MrGookieMonster]

I really appreciate these videos. Thank you for putting in the time and effort to upload so quickly.

[@gamemaker1234]

You're CS videos are like a drug. I just want more and more!

[@juanme555]

[@WheelchairBilly]

[@novaaaa]

[@alierenyondemir8511]

'ed shot machine

[@Yonkerrro]

ohhh my friend... you really want to know about ScreaM? oh my friend... he is :D :D :D

[@thecaostofraB]

thankyou thoorin for this video. 2007 was my first time play cs, so i didnt know f0rest before that year at all. i remember that i became a super fan of him in 2009 when he won almost every single event and became top1. but i think if LUq didnt leaves polish team and if hee didnt leaves korean team, i dont think f0rest can beat any of them in 2009 and became top1. i still a fan of him when na'vi reck him in 2010-2012, he still the best cs player in my eyes. maybe i'm a true fan of him lol

[@malwinwin]

who was that korean team? i'm new in cs, only play csgo. i always thought asian sucks at cs

[@thecaostofraB]

malwinwin eSTRO/wemadefox, they was top3. others asian team: wnv have won major, lunatic hai was top3 , titans was wcg 2004 finalis, tyloo was top 10 if i'm not mistaken

[@Napalm91]

Love these videos, Would love to see some clip examples for stuff that you mention like f0rests crouch movement or long range rifling!

[@ocke94]

I would love to see a video like this about Dosia. Been hearing about him as a star-player but havent seen that much from him and do not know anything about his history! Thanks :)

[@Jackalope322]

Oddly enough, I watched the No Free Passes for f0rest episode last night on a whim.

[@MatDuJardin]

this series should be called ''History of Counter-Strike : f0rest'' love it

[@kruger7796]

I feel like when you get old Thorin, I mean old old. Someone has to make a "?????'s Thoughts - Who was Thorin? (E-sports)". Keep up the good shit man.

[@Smyrf98]

Thorin I love your videos, but i suggest that you add some of the player's most famous plays in these videos. I think it will make it even better! :)

[@deana8052]

Heaton was the man who mastered the 5 bullet burst and pretty much made it famous so to speak

[@4gun1]

After f0rest retire can you please do a "grilled" interview. I saw almost every your "grilled" interview with cs players. It was awesome. So please do it someday. Also keep do what you doing

[@galapagooose]

7 years later and f0rest still isn't close to retirement

[@dsxcs]

I've waited SO long for this niiiiiiiiiiiice

[@theshredquest]

I'd love to see a Thorin's Thoughts on Team 3d. Give all the youngins a solid history lesson on good NA cs.

[@xXxTAM3RxXx]

best player ever from he started tell he ends he is the best best pistol best ak best knife and m4a1

[@ifrothie5146]

tamer dabbas Neo was better than F0rest.

[@luish1717]

+iFrothie nah

[@bivekdebnath]

I was just watching sk vs navi in some tourney and I just saw u there xD , and my friend was like "IS THAT THORIN!" HE IS COOL AF !!!! xD ahaha it was so funny...love ya mate

[@chrissoidmajorna]

fkn love the energy thorin!

[@ConcreteKingzOG]

Could you do a who was Patrick ScreaM Roth and a who is ZeT my favorite cs 1.5/ 1.6 players

[@feeling_alright187]

can you do a who is fr0d? he had the best stats on gotfrag.

[@Thooorin]

It's worth pointing out that those stats were skewed by including results from online North American tournaments, whereas the top Europeans at the time almost only played on LAN.

[@DickOswald]

+kornmossis he is playing again

[@brendand1543]

+DickOswald yet he is really underwhelming he isn't the old Frod anymore

[@LOLWTF611]

who is markeloff ( he was a 1,6 god )

[@patrykwysocki5742]

Can't wait to see though of "who is neo" ;)

[@avianach8063]

Thorin's Thoughts - Who Is Neo pls

[@MrDaniiYY]

10:30 Out of nowhere! Hahahahaha

[@0Wayland]

This video is sponsored by Monster.

[@floriankirn8070]

Haha😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@dp9595]

Thooorin is like the esports grandfather, he knows everything. are you gonna do a video about one of the lgb players or is there little info?

[@00HoODBoy]

thanks thooorin, great series. maybe Who is shox?

[@huenniii]

who was cyx? i hope u dont get this wrong, i was a huge fan back in the days. i was hearing stuff like "big talent" "on the uprise" "german superstar" ... i also still remember the reactions after his accident. maybe there is not enough to talk about (cs-wise), but i wonder if he was on the way to the top

[@GeneticNoob]

Drinking monster instantly brings the relevance of your arguments down

[@jakkkkal4495]

Thorin when you say f0rest carried, Is it the equivalent of Kennys current carry session??

[@thecaostofraB]

kinda same but there's some different, it's hard to explain. you have to watch by urself his match

[@jakkkkal4495]

thecaostofraB cheers mate, I understand they're completely different play styles and team roles... But more to the point that the rest of titan mainly does nothing COMPARED to KennyS in every game... I feel sorry for the kid, his wasting away his best ever years and form in CS to be let down continually

[@jakkkkal4495]

thecaostofraB Wow thanks for the info mate, I've honestly learned alot more from the 1.6 pro scene in this vid then any where else haha.. (the Australian scene has just started going ananywhere

[@thecaostofraB]

Advegsu ya, thats makes sense. it's depend on how fast kennys can adapt on a new team. like you've already know what happend with fnaticRC in 2012. when 2 players retired, they bring two of the best cs player at the time to the new lineup. and you know what happend next...yup, domination at the end of 1.6 era, they were untouchable( like a dream team)

[@jakkkkal4495]

Yeah mate I totally agree with you.. I'm just saying IF there was a certain top 3 swedish team... that needed an awper at the moment.. picked him up they would do nothing but benefit

[@charless8722]

Thorin's Thoughts - Who is Thorin? DO IT!!!

[@daijme]

Does your apartment not have radiators or A/C?

[@ma4lps]

Can you make one about Neo because it seems that he was the god

[@DexterrW]

Thorin's Thoughts - Who Is Neo that would be about 1hour vid

[@Sleepen143]

Who is Neo?

[@inNeRzinhoPUMPUM]

Thorin's Thoughts - Who was markeloff (CS:GO)

[@btg643]

My face gets itchy every time i watch you.

[@ReVoX161]

you forgot his pistols skill

[@PoprishErik]

How is it possibly that cold in an apartment?

[@Mar1k_o]

Imagine having 54 kills in 30 rounds and draw the map - I’d go mental and leave the team immediately

[@michaelalexify]

the goat.

[@bronsoncs]

When you refer back to past tournaments and players and stats and stuff do you know all this off by heart or are you looking at a script?!

[@Vlarceloff]

I think before videos he double checks most of the results. But Thorin has been in this business for over a decade so I imagine he knows most of it by memory.

[@SoulsOnly]

Wish the East (notably Japan, China and Korea) would pick CS back up.

[@official_kden]

guardian next pls

[@Hollowthegamer]

Please do a video on FroD or complexity in 1.6 as a whole.

[@AwesomeOwen]

Thorin's Thoughts - Who is Snax? He's such a beast player, no one ever talks about Snax.

[@oboyy]

Who is cogu, let's go!

[@CaPuGinoXD]

who is kennyS? i would love to learn how he started etc.

[@daniel112401]

Thorin can you talk about why get_right is the best player?

[@horizongaming3700]

Who is neo? You keep talking about him.

[@ifrothie5146]

Horizon Gaming Neo is the best player ever in counter-strike

[@boooyaaa2730]

+iFrothie 2nd best player ever in CS after f0rest :)

[@riborickertt]

[@NinpoZ]

Thorin's Thoughts - Who is Heaton?

[@TheMuwatalli]

he did one vid about him already right?

[@DayyMeeBear]

2012 - 2013 was a top player but even though they dominated in early 2014 he still was only average. Although I still remain he was a top 3 player in in all of 1.6

[@alreVEVO]

Every video ....... is/was one of the best players/awpers in Counter Strike Global Offensive *cough* *cough*

[@noots4332]

I would love to see who is shox

[@JikiIl]

"who is cogu ?", i am brazilian and i started watch cs:go now, and i want to know more about the best brazilian cs player in history.

[@TheKronicalHD]

Who is Shoxie next please!

[@Spherify]

Here's some old (late -05) swedish top ranking for teams and players back when fragbite hosted that. f0rest is here #1 pistol and #1 allaround player and also pretty high on the AWP ranking. web.archive.org/web/20051129092051/www.fragbite.se:80/?content=ranking
