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

[@Verlisify]

Time to get some snacks and settle in for my favorite daily watch

[@Nooreazy]

Preach it!

[@-xrampagex-1465]

***** lol

[@Amezuhk]

yup! best show ever lol

[@bicepsisdie]

so true

[@TheMuwatalli]

***** i dont even watch cs:go (only majors) but i love thorins shit, *good shit

[@ghoultra]

please turn this into a series ''who is ____'' alot of people who are new to cs are interested in the history behind some of the players they watch

[@RuddyPooCandyAss]

Agree, awesome series

[@josephwilliams409]

that would be insane

[@WTZubul]

I'm very new to the CS scene. I've only started following it after DH Winter. Videos like these help me out a lot

[@MahkuDT]

as u said ''alot of people'' ''some of the players they watch'' so it wouldn't become a consistent viewerbase that his normal videos reach, the normal daily video(s) he does gains like 10-15k viewers, if he would make this series, he would reach low amount of views, because of not everyone is interested into knowing the person's X history, and if he would want to make series that would not gain so much attention, he would need to do this and more content, so i don't see this happening, but i'd love to

[@MegaMaDBass]

+ᵘˡᵗʳᵃ aaaand this happened

[@svenschukat2958]

agree, seeing more of these Who is ... would be epic

[@Thooorin]

I am thinking about doing it as a series for some of big CS:GO names who had significant histories in 1.6

[@guilhermeeberhardt676]

Thooorin And what about guys like shox or Ex6tenz that played source?

[@jimbob926]

Thooorin I'd like to see something about neo or forest

[@orrino]

Thooorin Can't speak for everyone else, but I know I would be very interested in something like that.

[@steezx47]

Thooorin please do byali he is my favorite player everrrr xD

[@Diavolo222]

TAZ is an oldschool guy and I've loved his style for a long long time.

[@Misha14PL]

I love how shitty streamers or youtubers upload tons of intros and beg for subs and you get straight to the topic. Another great video

[@Thooorin]

Thanks

[@roxkpo1]

reflections with Pasha pls thooorin

[@Neroshkiet]

ayy lmaoo

[@rmmmmmmmmm526]

Wud be like, look thooorin my friend, i like but not like, you know YES alot of like more than not like, yes yes i mean 80% like and 70% not like. lol pasha's english is very funny.

[@Thooorin]

If I do it then I think it should be in Polish with subtitles, so he can answer in-depth.

[@PapaJenkoooooo]

Yes, my friend.

[@jimbob926]

Thooorin How about reflections with Taz then? His English seems better

[@rmmmmmmmmm526]

Thooorin, i can see where this is going, your channel is growing too fast since the first video back then, great videos from a great guy, such a genius and a well knowing of every aspect of the game, can't get enough of your videos, as of a guy who played CS since it's 1.5 days, comming to your channel gets me in nostalgic. Thank you Thooorin.

[@pkbtpiccolo]

742 was the best ak player in 1.6 :) i never seen a player control the recoil so good

[@crymeariver9141]

Nat King Coules Also GeT_RighT

[@math112358]

As a cs 1.6 fanboy, I found these videos quite interesting. As you said at that time it seems that scene wasn't so interested in interviews, so I didn't know to much of the personalities of the scene and their context. Now with your video I can appreciate more the game that I like sooo much, thank you very much.

[@Krobelux]

Honestly, I know very little of the teams you're talking about as I don't follow the pro scene, but I absolutely enjoy your comprehensive and detailed discussions on all these different topics. It's great. Happy New Year !

[@Exigentable]

thank you for these videos thorin

[@TheGrizzlyHound]

Great video as always. Gotta love TaZ, too!

[@DaveSP196]

I love Taz, seen him for many years now

[@blazeku]

TaZ and Neo were together in one team (Team Aristocracy) before Pentagram. Luq from first Golden5 was there too. Looord and kuben joined later on. But okay, before Arcy they were competing.

[@EbToX]

Thorin, can you please make a video about markeloff sometime? I've been playing since 1.6 but i only found out about the competitive scene 8 months ago when i got CSGO. I always heard that markeloff used to be one of the best players but i don't see that when he plays now and considering your experience in the scene you'd probably have a good hint as to what happened to him and who he was.

[@Ghettofight2CAE]

Please make a Thorin's Thoughts video on Scream's downfall as a top player.Did you considered him a top player at all? or was he just overhyped in your opinion?Also, please tell us your opinion about his playstyle (tapshooting rather than playing with spray control) and whether you think that he has reached his maximum potential as a tapshooter or could he achieve heights by keeping this playstyle.Lastly,please tell us how you think he could be a top player again.I'd love to hear your opinions about this topic :)

[@realFYR]

this has nothing to do with the video what so ever, but Thorin... You are brilliant! Thank you for making the CS-scene 'smart'

[@confusion3d]

i agree with all that was pointed out in this vid plus i would add that Taz sometimes is being little too harsh for himself after his not quite good performance in the match i know its easy to say but i suggest him getting more joy from the game instead of self- flagellation in interviews or on social networks just focus on good things

[@prejtu]

One of the most epic videos you could make would be making podcast with pronax,happy and neo/taz where 2igl talks about strategy of 3rd igl and then he reply to that.

[@cyrusia]

why the fuck cant i stop watching these videos

[@bicepsisdie]

Your videos are fucking amazing, and i like the idea that someone gave that you should make a reflections with Pasha, would be good entertainment! Keep up the fucking great work!

[@SamatJukeshov]

hey Thorin, I really want to hear your thoughts about Na'Vi and Zeus particularly

[@ChaseMe2TheSky]

Happy New Year, Thoorin.

[@josephl894]

Who is TaZ? - Thorin's mancrush

[@jennyjenny119]

that Nuke Ct anti rush POSITIONING was gold. I am sure Thorin watched alot cs, but That PSGmaster peice wasnt about Taz nor his Yellow hud timing, its about serious team work(where kuben/luq and loordb go can be crucial for taz, plus diffrrent spawn position can wrk differently) . Thorin really has alot knowledge, but i guess if u dont play cs at a certain lvl your ingame knowledge can be very wrong.

[@callelandstrom4903]

I would love an episode about the early days of 1.6 and how the scene was back then. Remember going to a tournament (to watch ofc) in sweden where i met heaton and potti. Where like 40 guys there and if i'm not mistaken it wasn't a completely pointless tournament. And now the pros play in in front of filled seats in arenas!

[@WorldsWorstLegGenes]

Great video as usual. I don't even play CS:GO but I know TaZ and some of the Polish CS players. I thought playing the game is necessary to enjoy watching tournaments. Apparently it's not. Continue the good work, Thorin.

[@sw_de]

impressive movie like always. thanks to the walking esport lexicon :-) Thooorin

[@tangiers365]

Lol I love TaZ because in dhw14 he made his name tazmanian devil. From an Australia. Who else is from Straya?

[@heheheheheeho]

I saw that you were thinking about making these with all of the 1.6 players, but what about source players as well?

[@imzfrozen]

Can you tell us your personal top 20 players list of 2014?:D

[@chinarep1]

It'd be really cool if when you did these types of videos you had footage of the player that corresponds to what you're talking about playing in the background.

[@powernudel3000]

In terms of trashtalk zonixx is the german version of TaZ. Amazing guys

[@CharIie83]

plot twist: thorin just summarises stats over and over again

[@Valhrad1]

Hey, funny because when Golden5 kicked LUq there was a big trashtalk in Poland and everyone called him General. Just ask on twitter, anyone can confirm this.

[@DjDana0]

taz as a general is so fucking true

[@dbpsychodelic]

Added to favs.

[@johnpotato4946]

Need a Who is Maikelele or reflections with maikelele

[@NuMetal92]

could you do an episode on mTw. I really wonder what you think about them as a team and why they left the CS scene :(

[@The1Bingo]

Thooorin you are very HAND-imated

[@WGBPGames]

I'd cry if anyone from Virtus.pro left...I love the roster so much! lol

[@nickywolf2666]

Can you maybe make a vid about how german csgo teams are struggling to reach the top tier of the pro scene like mousesports and alternate, its an interesting topic i think P.s. love your show, great content, keep it up!!!!

[@veryunvery4043]

I would disagree though that only Neo was the star and Taz a leader back then. It's a bit sad no one seems to recall LUq and his AWP anymore. Pretty sure you've seen his reply on the whoring part by now: /watch?v=GZnBpRjieQE. I have to agree 50/50 with what you and he said. Truth is, not many polish guys are great with english and it's a real shame-fear to go and do an interview in english. Great talk though, thanks.

[@Opanek2246]

Someone could tell me short version of this video? Im from Poland and i really want to know what Thorin thinks about Taz but i have not time to watch this and my English is not on high enough level to understand him in 100%. I would be thankful :)

[@depfro]

Notice me Thorin-senpai! (Keep up these awesome vids! I love them!

[@JooF1]

moussports coming up soon ? :p

[@ffsFonix]

taz is the man

[@Djura994]

GeT_RiGhT, does your mouse work?

[@speccone]

What headset is that?

[@disk0__]

Watching this again after his comments recently I'm pretty sure he's talking quietly as not wake the smoking hot skrilla babe he picked up at the pc bang last night

[@xzst]

[@jamahnn]

Taz is a cs go Player. Kappa

[@jiffoe]

so much best

[@mesavor]

Since when that ESWC was no longer a major tournament for Counter Strike competition ? Look at current prize pool of ESWC, its really awful compared to DHW or EMS.

[@blizzhop]

Hands.. So.. Distracting

[@Kutkop345]

Taz with french accent thorin 17:11 ? haha

[@nightnight4842]

Thooorin please make a "who is" for pronax,ex6st ,kennyS flusha ,shox :)

[@DexterrW]

Pentagram best cs1.6 team ever

[@Volcan0oo]

do who is shoxie :D

[@gl2949]

SO CALM AND KID LOOKING HAHAHHAA

[@FillejZ]

at fbm vs ldlc ahahah "happy are you happy?"

[@Mareks1999]

count how many times he touches his nose :D

[@s1mo-RBC]

Mareks very itchy nose.

[@michaelmjh23]

these videos often stop so abruptly, like you're mid scentence

[@rizzcs6018]

4Head

[@grzegorzbarnas3853]

talking mad shit to them haha :D

[@f0xyLuv]

If you're making these "Who's..." then please clarify what is your opinion and what are the facts. Right now you're misinforming people about the history of the players, maybe on purpose, maybe just because of lack of knowledge. Please don't just talk shit about something, because right now your content makes me think of a slightly better Leafy, and that really isn't something to be proud of. Cheers.

[@kplb8854]
