Launders literally cannot stop talking about 2018
If we get Peak Niko for even one tournament to put all the haters to rest, I will consider the year a success.
u got the one deagle clip vs big, thats it
Problem is we only get him one tournament a year. At this point the haters are realists.
m80 on ancient was a good performance for him, a good comeback at least
Petition to call him PeaKo then
hello
my favorite racist youtuber dropping another banger
Racist is an understatement
Don’t forget we had the start of Liquid VS Astralis in 2018, as well as a great mix of veterans like f0rest, shox, Kenny, get_right, JW still playing.
I often wish Fnatic had a little more time before the start of the online era, maybe 3-6 more months, to really see if they could get back to absolute dominance. Eh, c'est la vie...
@@JoyThiefTheBand same. I think the community now underrates late 2019 / early 2020 fnatic. They were a good team, and it’s clear that online CS killed the motivation of flusha and JW.
I’ve been excited for 90% of the changes coming over to CS2. The game for sure needed a shakeup. I think valve did it in the best way possible. I always hold S2K as CS’s original zoomer. And I feel like valve took everything from his 2016 heart and presented it to us all in CS2. The effects on the pro scene will only be profound and take it to a different level
Best thing for cs2 is to delete it and give us back CSGO
"best way possible" is crazy inflammatory levels of glazing. Have you not been here? Remember the fuckinh micheal jackson peek lol? That was the LEAST obtrusive bug
@@MEGAsporg12 the game with the highest skill ceiling on the planet will have its exploits continuously found by its most dedicated and elite players. I agree the game was lacking features and this release could have been smoother. However they didn’t follow Valve time and continue to improve the game, as they did GO. I mean shit, in GO I think our final major hit box update was published in 2016. Until September 2015, the hit boxes were straight trash and super exploitable. I appreciate you guys having high standards but man, it would be nice if this community could channel the energy into something not so drool on yourself
@@longshot7470 stopped reading after "it could've been smoother", cuz then we agree: They could have done it better.
@@MEGAsporg12 I really like how you dismissed any cognitive effort you weren’t willing to do just to extract one sentence from a paragraph that contextualizes your silver tears. Do I really need to offer a 1v1?
"Zywoo gums" DID EM DIRTY NOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Jks>Donk zywoo and Monesy

not an aussie fan nor NA fan but this makes more sense.
edit: im serious.

Did you know that in 2018 NA won their first major?
Dammit, I came here to scream "2024 will not be the best year in counter strike ever", but then when the video started you said "since 2018", and now I kinda agree with you 🙃
this video is so goated. How could this not make you wanna dive into pro cs tbh
xertion is also having a crazy run at the moment.
Top 10 maybe, top 1, not even a chance
“Filthy Adam” iykyk
glad i came back after i kinda stopped watching during the online era, as a mouseports fan im also glad the team no longer makes you want the team to lose because they used to be bad most of the time but sometimes you saw signs of greatness
i hope they change their logo back to the older one
@@anu1776 They can't, they declared bankruptcy as mousesports, and had to rebrand as part of that proceeding
@@joeread5356 what a shame
Not having NAF highlighted at 4:22 is criminal
I was actually about to comment that
🦥
you guys remember when people thought droppable grenades and 5 clip awps were going to ruin the game
just got back into cs this year for the first time in like 9 years and it’s been so cool to watch the competitive scene, it’s in a very good place and cs2 will continue to improve
Same
I don't understand why your benchmark for whether or not a year is boring is how predictable it is to say who will be #1 of the Top player ranking. This ranking is pointless, IT'S A TEAM GAME!
The game has been so fun to watch in the last few years:
- So many raising talents
- The gap between T1 & T2 greatly narrowed, bringing strong contenders for titles from T2 (Ence, Mouz)
- The casting and analyst desks keep getting better and more professional (great job for your excellent contribution to this!)
In my opinion CS keeps getting better. The last major was the best I've ever watched.
I think there was a switch about 2-3 years ago in CS where having a superstar player doesn't necessarily mean you'll go deep in a tournament. And teams with no superstars but highly consistent and versatile players (Heroic, VP, Ence, Mouz) managed to challenge the best teams, while they failed before. Teamplay overall improved dramatically and it makes it great to watch
As for someone who startet just recently watching all events and getting into the teams, this and similar videos are both helping and very interessting. Thanks man! Played cs 1.5 and 1.6 back then and need infos and recaps like this.
With you having this opinion I'm glad im going to iem Dallas in a couple weeks for my first event. Super excited!
great video lau!!!
another banger video
cs is perhaps leaving its messi and ronaldo era
I enjoy watching these
Fun to see my acezone ad again on the chanel!😊 I look so different back then
best CS content creator rn
This is going to be a good year boyzz
Going to Dallas just to see Stewie
another launders banger
Lauve you ❤ launders
Really vibing with "clutch genetics" 😂
That chain is so tough lau
Gotta slip in that maybe at the end in there just in case it doesn't work out and absolves us from all accountability 😂
subtick good for consistent registration and accuracy? I dunno about that
Yeah I’d say it’s precise but not consistent. At least to how it’s perceived since you have no way of telling when a tick starts or ends (relating to input). :(
Dont forget to mention the goat, Device!
Launders upload today is gonna be a good day
that Zywoo - Gums comment was wild lmao
what a good video :)
Can we get a Coach Lau movement started? It's something we all need
Having AceZone as a sponsor is definitely such a flex but imma keep it a buck that's three monthly student loan payments for me
That EPL final 😂😂😂
slam dunk on them lau
Casually this game has a ways to go but in terms of the pro scene as well as amateur competitive play this game is insane rn. It can only get better as well
Other than individual performances Mouz excelling without a real superstar, Navi trying to claw their way into championship form after losing the goat, and Faze dominance but struggling to win trophies has been a blast to watch. I really only got into watching competitive CS during the Paris Major and it’s been a wild ride since.
also mouz. the scene REALLY IS UNPREDICTABLE
So wait Launders, I am confused, do my acezones come with or without wallhacks? Cause like I can't pinpoint exactly where people are when I use my buddy's Acezones, but then i'm also basically deaf in my right ear so I suppose no positional audio would work :p
Literal (almost) wallhacks
this two russian boys real GOAT in cs2 right now
I’ve been racist my whole life but always had to hide it. But then I found Launders and I can finally be myself. I’m so glad to finally have a place where I feel like I belong.
as a Faze fan, not a big enjoyer of 2018 ngl BUT as a cs fan it was something else
zywoo gums is wild
Love watching M0nesy, just wish the whole team was at a higher level.
I have to say 2024 been a blast so far. Def the best year since Astralis ers in 2018-2019
coach lau will you ever bring back the demo reviews? or maybe make a separate channel
Sadly he said he's not doing demos anymore, he's got a community post about it a month ago.
@@K_End ah, thank you!
Don't sleep on Mouz. Siuhy is an insane IGL and he's got a slept-on allstar roster behind him.
Look at my last video 😎
Even if its not in the stats because he's hard carrying almost every game, m0nesy is obviously the best CS2 player in the world.
Overall, what this means is that we will be witnessing the year where the new generation will slowly overtake the legends and established players.
The names that today people will consider 'How are these players together winning anything?' to them losing anything being considered an upset.
2018 was a year where I lost interest in cs given Polish VP fell apart at the time, this year makes me feel like I want to see even more of it than I ever did.
Now if I got to see a Polish team that can consistently get into Katowice playoffs, that would be a sight for the eyes...
7:53 ayo
i haven’t watched but i’m pretty sure it’s because astralis with my goat are back playing in the top10 let’s go astralis fans long have we waited s1mple jebaited
Bwahaha, fat-device funny af
My personal prediction: If Spirit win 1 more IEM tournament -> donk #1.
If Vitality don't win anything even if G2 don't win anything either -> Monesy #1.
If Vitality win a couple of more tournaments -> ZywOo #1.
great video idea lau, but jL will be #1 this year
you guys can congratulate me for this guess at the end of the year
JL not even a top 3 rifler
I agree
zywoo gums lmao
zywoo, gums
Racemaxx zaddy Lauu is baaaaaaaaack
And Mouz winning it all with the team as the start player. 🥰
The rise of Launders LAN = best year of CS
not bad old tm
and a simple-less navi won the major as underdogs! pretty similar to c9 winning
After BB Dacha even Xertion could be in top5 easily. It's not only about top1/2, it's about quality of playoff games and names in kill bar. Remind you, b1t, the G.O.A.T rookie was #9 in 2021. It is all about top10 names and cultural impact they giving to the new generation of players.
lau laying the groundwork for why his top 20 this year is 0/20
/s
very good year for cs tho, elige makes bid for #1 in 2nd half of year im betting
NA MAJOR 2025‼️‼️
Agree with some points, its gonna be a interesting top5, but at the same time has not been a great cs year being real
Valve glazing cant stop holy fuck, we dont even have surf or kz lol
rayxts top 5 guaranteed
Isn't donk falling and at the same time Niko is picking up?
Jimpphat for #1
xtually
love u launders, but zywoo rant hurts
Thank you Lau, no more blackpilled doomposting we are snorting hopium from now on
Putting zywoo on fraudwatch for being ill? I'm glad lau isn't a corporate manager
He was NOT ill for playoffs his own team stated it
sheeesh
2024 Stewie2k return to smoke criminal?
Ropz slander during m0nesy baby goat section imo
siuhy #1 tbh
its the best cus brollan is in a n.1 team again
if they keep it up i have a feeling the entire team can be top 20
crazy that despite all this, Zywoo is still the best
Launders LAN wasn’t boring
jimpphat will make top 3 if mouz keeps up their play
I would agree else, but NA winning the only major was the low point. International team and NiKo/karrigan winning one would have been better. (Yes I am not NA fan)
Make delta force hark ops as a 5v5 mod on this with some maps and call it CS2.5 and valve can go f off. I would love it
I comment to help statistics
The only period of CS history I recognize was when Liquid was #1. Everything else was put in your head
Boston??
@@launders Tbh I was an R6 Siege player back then, I regrettably didn’t see it live.. thankfully I soon realized the error of my ways 🙏
monesy number 1
the pro landscape is honestly at its best its been sine the liquid v astralis was the best but the game itself is boring right now, I don't see a need to grind or stay on the game for more than 2-3 hours playing with friends.
Wake me up when C9 win Copenhagen Major
Imagine not mentioning Jimmy or Xertion
True actually
You ruined your aura with those Drake takes on Twitter 😂
You mean 2025
Only an American would find someone being no1 for more than 2 years being boring
Counter Strike really peaked between 2016-2018, pro scene was insane. I’m not driven by nostalgia, I swear.
Those were the best years for sure
