They were just good at the wrong time. You can make a solid living playing games on high level these days, those guys were unlucky to play games on high level when it worth little to nothing.
I think a thing that might happen is back in the early days it was competitive yes, but most of the players in the scene werent the best in the world without a doubt, because the game back then was so amateurish.. I mean at first when theres a new sport / e-sport you got all kinds of players, and the scene is quite primal what I mean is as soon as the game becomes global and people start to practice their craft at the max levels, the bar gets set too high for those who were pro players but didnt practice as much (spawn, heaton, pretty much the NA scene). Nowadays you got kids like m0nesy, jimphat, and d0nk who have +15.000 hours in the most competitive league in the world and they are not even 20 years old. Todays theres no doubt the people in the scene are the best of the best, not only that it seems to be that younger kids are starting to obliterate the old faces, take a look at whats going on with s1mple, yes he knows how to play cs2, he is super smart and has skill, but kids like d0nk destroy him.
SpawN simply did not want to compete anymore by that time, his aggro style would've worked just as much as a fer. Edward started strong in the first years of CS:GO, and lost his incredible ability by the time he aged.
Its amazing how in 2001 pros already knew about crosshair placement, nothing changed. Maybe the level used to be higher especially since people used potato pc. also seeing Korean commentary of cs back in 2002 is amazing. I didn't know Koreans knew about cs that early.
A época de ouro do Brasil no CSGO foi incrível, saudades dessa sensação, eu era fã demais da SK Gaming dos brasileirinhos, e quando comecei a jogar CS em 2017 foi incrível ver eles ganhando partidas e dando apavoro em times gigantes como a Astralis
CSS never really got "major" tournament, on that time many pros and event organizer still choose 1.6 as a main game. And later they're changing to csgo
The jump from ESL One Cologne 2015 to Cluj Napoca 2015 is immense wtf? The difference is night & day. The mics, the broadcast quality, the stage even. And the bigroom EDM is hilarious. That was thé hype music from that time 20:21 timestamp for those who care.
Played cs1.6 when I was a kid back in computer shops in the mid to late 2000s, got a potato pc and had great memories with csgo from 2015, lost the spark for cs2 hopefully it’ll comeback😅
bro cs 1.6 pros has crosshair placement of 10k elo cs2 player or worst ..😅 is crazy how much the average player base have improved trough out the years and the pro scene is light years away from where it was skill wise and tactically.
My guess is that they were too used to 1.6 and it wasn't such a big change so it didn't have to be made, but when csgo came out everyone was hyped and it would be stupid to still play tournaments on 1.6
Karrigan played at the pro level in the late 2000s and is a top 25 HLTV player today in CS2 on a pro team. not a lot of active pros from that era though, but retired players that still stream (like n0thing). f0rest still plays and fills in on pro teams sometimes too
TaZ and NEO from VP were active like, 2 years ago. Now they are both coaches. Karrigan is a bit younger than them but still an 2000s player. He plays as IGL in FAZE right now. Zonic was the coach of 4 time major winner astralis CS:GO squad. Now hes coaching Falcons if i remember correctly. Forest, Get_Right and olof are retired but still steaming CS.
Man I fucking remember watching and playing csgo back in 2014/2015 . The phoenix case was new, the game was so different back then. Even the majors had a huge impact on me. It just doesn’t feel the same anymore , but I’m thinking it’s just me. The game is still great, the pros are still amazing. But there was something about the old teams VP , NIP, Fanatic . These teams had aura . It sucks seeing my favorite pros just fade into obscurity, snax, the guy who molded me into the player I am today, can’t even make it to a major . The rest of VP isn’t even playing . Titan , I remember how much people were afraid of scream . How prime fanatic was winning EVERYTHING . Man you just had to be there . I fuckin love you csgo
The craziest thing to me is how some people knew how to tap, burst, crouch-spam and had good recoil control in 2001, and it looks almost the same in 2024.
while they're also called majors nowadays there's a difference between pre 2013 and after 2013. only the valve organized tournaments are called majors nowadays, before that time it was the name for the 5 biggest torunaments which were not funded by valve (CPL winter/summer,ESWC,WCG and IEM have no involvement from valve so they're not counted as major wins in todays definition)
