    I think what makes WarOwl videos so popular is just him. He's the person amidst all the factors that really shines through. I find him easy to watch, easy to understand, charismatic, interesting, entertaining in many ways and he has a particularly good speaking voice which he uses to good affect. He makes high level CS feel accessible with his advice and views on things. He's pretty honest and open about all aspects of CS, including the bad stuff without being excessive.
    Part of what may have contributed to his initial success is similar to what made NiP legends, which is that he was the first to do something which nobody had thought of doing yet. WarOwl and Nip did it first, did it right, established the meta and became a benchmark for all the people after them to live up to.

    The whole reason I started watching warowl was for his Match Making Academy series. I already knew the basics, but seeing him critique actual game play and explain what was wrong and how to correct deficiencies really helped my game improve. He doesn't make many of those any more, but when he does they're really helpful. WarOwl CSGO Coach.

    Thooorin, I've not seen your content before but I heard about this interview from WarOwl. I just wanted to say this was one of the most well put interview's i've seen, very good and interesting questions, entertaining and focusing alot on the person you're interviewing (too many focus on themselves when they interview), clear knowledge of the topics you're discussing and overall, a damn fine interview.
    My only regret is that I have not found your channel sooner and I am interested to see the future of your content. Keep up the good work.

Especially the solo Q anxiety as I just recently switched to PC from console. I do have good mechanical skill and aiming with a mouse came naturally, so I get called a cheater alot because " no way am i that good with only 500 hours" Love you WarOwl

    I'v been playing csgo for 3 years on and off, and a buddy of mine is just now getting into it. Im le, so i smurf to play with him. It has been one of the most challenging test of skill for me to teach him why he should be doing the things i'm telling him. *after he loses clutch* "look, there are 3 places to enter B bomb site. You heard him underpass, heading toward apps. Throw that smoke on cat, just in case, and hold apps. It's the most likely place he will enter from." "Where is cat?" "..." (i went over all call outs with him many, many times.) But on the rounds that it clicks for him, and i dont have to advise him, i feel like a proud parent.

  • @smoke9826
    @smoke9826 7 років тому

    People love to shit on this guy but back in early 2013 when csgo first started to take shape into the game it is now, his tutorial videos were really what got a lot of people into playing csgo and taking it seriously. It's easy to make fun of him for explaining how much an awp costs and how to "Stop Scope Flick Fire" but when you put it into context, nobody else had made good entry level tutorials for people who have not played a counter-strike game before, let alone a first person shooter on the pc. I'm glad this guy is still making content and things are going well for him.

    Can we get WarOwl on the analyst desk or maybe even color commentating? I doubt he would want to do it, but I think people would love his knowledge of the game

      Rabidwings he probably would, but as you said, he wouldn't want to do it. He's talked about his anxiety when he's not just behind the camera and is in front of a crowd.
