You and scrawny are my favourite casting duo. So nice to get a deep dive into your past life and the roots from which you came from. Amazing story for an amazing caster
It was a great video getting an in depth insight into your upbringing of where you began from humble beginnings. Didn't think the video would have been super emotional but when the reunion came there were a lot of tears. The love between you and your mom is something super special. You’re a good man launders.
You and scrawny are my favorite casting duo and you’re one of the figures in CS that I look up to the most. Getting to know your backstory and how you got into cs was incredibly insightful and makes me realize how grateful us as fans are to have you entertaining us, from random esea posts to now. thank you for everything launders 🖤
I loved this bit when it aired. A real treat. Your school stories, the relationship with your amazing mother and your reunion with Michael. How your mother worked hard to keep your dreams going, and how Michael opened your world perspective. Keep going Launders!!!!
Bro screw Tom and ESL for that CS2 profile of you man... 😭 I bawled my ass off when I saw that moment you reunited with Michael. The whole story was super genuine and relatable af. Probably the most heartfelt thing I've seen yet from y'all with ESL. Seriously beautiful work and it didn't even feel like it was a 20+ min video. I also don't want to be a hater of your hot takes anymore even if they are mostly right. 🤣It was nice seeing the come up you had and the friends you kept along the way too.
The doc was so incredible it made me cry. One important question is still unanswered though : what race do you play in StarCraft and who is your favourite pro?
Absolutely loved it. Well done to ESL and you. Look at you man, you made it. What an incredible journey! Your mom is an absolutely wonderful lady, and people like Michael are rare. Kudos to them and yourself (for following your passion) for shaping you into who you are today.
Damn this was a super inspiring video, so much respect for you man, I'll definitely have to catch the next LaundersLAN. Thanks for showing us this part of yourself
This was awesome! Was almost gonna skip the video, as it didnt seem like my kind of thing, but damn am I glad I sat down and watched it. Huge props to the crew who made this profile as well!
I only started watching CS esports since 2021 and you and connor are my absolute favorite duo casters ever since the beginning. Me coming from Malaysia the CS scene here is little to none but knowing that one of my favourite casters and I shared some common roots just makes me so happy. Thank you Blast for discovered you and also decided to come to SEA for the World Final! I am praying so hard that the tickets would be not too expensive and wont sold out in seconds so I could travel to Singapore to see top notch CS live in front of my eyes. God bless you and your loved ones launders.
Hey Launders I do remember, Three o Four years ago, I made a comment in your live Stream on Twitch, how i appreciate your passion for the game and how great you bring that to the people. And you replied really greatfull. And now, after seeing this video, the passion even makes more sense. It is inspiring in a way that you do something day in day out what you love.
man this made me cry bruh I didnt know I was this parasocial with you fr though the video was incredible and made me respect you even more, knowing everything you went through. I'm kind of in that middle stage in life where I don't know what to do for sure but you put it best: just gotta go all in on what I believe in. I've always been scared of ending up with a job I hate and being generally unhappy in life, so I just gotta avoid that and make a living doing what I love. Thanks for making me see that clearly in this time of my life where everything seems unclear. I'm glad you're doing so well, you're crushing life and I hope to be as happy as you are living life at some point
This video got me crying my eyes out. What a great piece, what a great story. We are lucky to have gotten you in our great game of Counter-Strike. Thank you!
haha love the weed story. reminds me of me getting pulled over in grade 12 when i first got my license. had no seat belt on so got pulled over and my friend blackie had an ounce on him and i was shaky as fuck and the officer def felt bad for me being so nervous and was like "they are pulling people over for not having seat belts out there so keep it on". My friends commented on how nervous i was and i said i was acting that way on purpose haha Compu-core was our big local LAN shop in Orillia ontario. Don't fuck with the SCR (simcoe county reserve) boys!
dude your girl must have been blown away lol she has no idea CS is even a thing then she sees you at this massive event like it's an NFL game for a bunch of "geeks" as my musician brother put it watching CS live. CS is a great game and a true artform I won't let anyone tell me otherwise
Hey man, I've been following you for a long time, a few years ago (maybe around 2017-2018) you opened a discussion on using cannabis and being an esport athlete. I can't remember much of the content, but is the video unlisted somewhere? If so is there any way we would be able to watch it?
It's very interesting to me how un-strict your mum was. As an Asian immigrant who grew up in such harsh conditions, it's truly surprising that she didn't force you to work/study hard to ensure your future
51:33 wow your mom is so understanding of the "process" and comfortable with the idea of not making money initially because she knows its an investment in the future
Launders can your mom adopt a 33 year old baby girl with 2 awesome grand kids and a racing son in law? I can make the softest chapatis and fire samosas
Hopefully you talk about the de subticked binds being removed. It really hurts to see bhopping butchered like this, after its been a thing for 24 years. The community doesnt listen to the average player, so we really need someone like you to speak up about the movement. I love counter strike, but the movement is whats kept me here all this time. Kz, longjumping, hitting clips in matchmaking. It was so much fun while it lasted, but cs2 default bhop just isnt it man. Uninstalled this morning, going back to source. I love this game and want it to succeed more than anything, but i feel like cs2 was made out of greed at this point. Cant wait for the utility skins to start coming out 🙄
Watch the original instead: ua-cam.com/video/_-RWx4tzRNE/v-deo.htmlsi=e10dUsAVnZ64KXZg
You and scrawny are my favourite casting duo. So nice to get a deep dive into your past life and the roots from which you came from. Amazing story for an amazing caster
this is one of the best profiles esl has done. u had a crazy backstory
I cried. Your mom is a beautiful soul, your reaction to the surprise visit by Michael was great.
Mom who’s truly proud of you, it’s one of the best feelings you can achieve in life. You really did great, Launders.
the only person i will glaze with no shame

this is why social services are important, s/o to the women shelter
The doc was so incredible it made me cry. One important question is still unanswered though : what race do you play in StarCraft and who is your favourite pro?
Boxer, that’s who my clothing company is named after :) I played toss because I was low apm 😭
@@launders lol you and me both, brother. Boxer hwaiting!
duuude the Michael bit had me tearing up
This profile gives so much context to who you are, why we are drawn in by your story telling and why you are worth following.
Absolutely loved it. Well done to ESL and you. Look at you man, you made it. What an incredible journey! Your mom is an absolutely wonderful lady, and people like Michael are rare. Kudos to them and yourself (for following your passion) for shaping you into who you are today.
chew productions did insane work on this one, actually a masterpiece
Unbelievable Story Man. Wow.
This is fucking beautiful, man. I've followed you for a looooong time and I didn't know half this shit. Big respect, your mother raised you well :)
Thanks for all you do for CS community! Much love
Damn this was a super inspiring video, so much respect for you man, I'll definitely have to catch the next LaundersLAN. Thanks for showing us this part of yourself

We love you launders!

Incredible story, congrats for everything you've achieved
Watched the video in the arena, had tears in my eyes. ❤

Truly such a pleasure to live in the timeline where Launders is who he is today, much love big guy
You and ESL knocked it out of the park with this one. You and your mom have an amazing story and I cried when Michael walked in.
The Hero we all deserve, Launders the GOAT
“Drinking a Diet Pepsi you fuckin traitor.” 😂
It was great to get to know you better as a person. Love your casting the cs community is lucky to have you
Goat casting duo
man this made me cry bruh I didnt know I was this parasocial with you

this and the ropz cs2 profile are masterpieces
I watched it already when it came out but watching it again with you here was more than worth it.
I'm sure you'll cast Cologne's play-off matches one day, maybe even next year. It's all up to ESL.
we cheerish you lau
Excellent profile..felt like a oscar winning movie
No way I cried again bro…
This video got me crying my eyes out. What a great piece, what a great story. We are lucky to have gotten you in our great game of Counter-Strike. Thank you!

This shit is beautiful bro.
Brother, I know what it's like to grow up without, but to be full.
This shit made me cry in the Lanxess 🥲
Goated video
might be the goat lowkey
You teh best man ♥♥♥
that story of getting into UofT and then getting addicted to CSGO is hilarious
Could you do a master course of how to cast and how to get started?
Launders i love you!!!!!
launders raised on my canadian tax dollars pog champion, very cool despite the criminal past
dude your girl must have been blown away lol she has no idea CS is even a thing then she sees you at this massive event like it's an NFL game for a bunch of "geeks" as my musician brother put it watching CS live. CS is a great game and a true artform I won't let anyone tell me otherwise
fuckkk I love you man
Thanks for sharing your story! Loved the video! What watch are you wearing in the tattoo place? Really like it!
President :)
@@launders slightly out of budget lmao, but will try to find a nice alternative :D thank you!
I just wanted to see sado, launders, scrawny.
But sado just had to piss on my wish
from a fellow Canadian racist, I'd prefer if scrawnders casted every grand final
House tour when tho

I liked you for supporting Reflex Arena...then as a caster....now as a human. - signed a 34yr old trash CS 1.6 player
Damn i never had a father o a male role model i haven't recovered good for you

51:33 wow your mom is so understanding of the "process" and comfortable with the idea of not making money initially because she knows its an investment in the future

Lau and Scrawny are my 2nd favorite casters duo. And that is saying a lot considered how many legendary casters there are in the gaming scene.
interesting👍
Launders can your mom adopt a 33 year old baby girl with 2 awesome grand kids and a racing son in law?
I can make the softest chapatis and fire samosas
