The French CS scene atm. Tons of raw talent, tons of raw potential to be truly terrifying within CSGO.....yet no fucking clue how to use it to achieve victory.
Dave Do you remember that the old EnvyUs lineup was the best team on inferno in the world at some point? NBK and KennyS were absolute monsters on it. I think G2 vs Fnatic could be one of the coolest duels in 2017, especially on inferno
I kinda agree, but to be honest. Fnatic already won to G2 2-0 with these new lineups. It's not saying everything because G2 doesn't have a lot of experience with this line-up, but I really think Fnatic is gonna be really competitive this year!
Here some stats: fnatic: Inferno Times played 171 Wins / draws / losses 125 / 3 / 43 Envyus: Inferno Times played 84 Wins / draws / losses 52 / 0 / 32 Envyus vs fnatic on Inferno fnatic 7 wins Envyus 1 win
DirooX fnatic was way better at inferno. Envyus just looked really good because of the holds from NBK and Kennys but that doesn't make the entire team good.
How the fuck do you make a 40 minute video about this, even talk about Kqly and Maniac ffs and still not talk about how Scream was left out of the super team?
Rumors say that the only reason is because he is not french. Even tough he speaks french, there are some tournaments that only allow teams with only one nationality to play.
well the title of the video is "the third french shuffle" which implys the shuffle of the team lineups, the teams are french. therefore scream is a viable topic to talk about.
I'm very excited about new G2, but I agree their map pool is a question mark: G2 and nV had different perma bans, and you're taking a big risk if you can't play both Train and Overpass given the strength of, for instance, Astralis on these maps (unless you perma ban one of them). However, with Dust2 out, Train is probably the number 1 "awper carry map, " and kennys can certainly do that. Nuke is still a map that you can't float in the map pool for a Bo3 series if you're playing a team who's happy to pick it, but G2 certainly have the fragging power to be good on Nuke, and both old G2/nV at least knew what they were doing on it. That all said, if this team really goes off at any given tournament, like old G2 did in Summer 2016, it almost doesn't matter what their map pool is; they can just beat you up on your map pick, such as being the only team who could compete with LG/SK on Overpass. Their likely best maps (according to Thorin) of Cache/Inferno/Cobble are probably gonna be the same as Fnatic's best maps, so that could be a really fun match up, if both these teams are as good as everyone expects; ie. competing for World No1 and to win majors, along with Astralis, VP and possibly NaVi if they keep improving. And on an unrelated note, the new G2 jersey is incredible.
Thooorn I know you made another video for hiko when I asked, so please try and get another reflections with NBK big fan of him and what he had to share was very interesting and i'd love to hear his thoughts on recent events of the french scene
Hey thorin, are we getting a video about the fnx / felps shuffle (what it will be of the two brazilians teams, not the reasons the we all already know), or maybe the old fnatic roster together again, what we should expect, they still got their mojo?? Thanks cheers,
Look forward to how well this G2 line-up is gonna do. Also with the old Fnatic coming back together, this year's CSGO seems to have a pretty exciting start (especially with new Inferno replacing D2).
Thorin, if you get a chance to read this comment, would you consider formatting your videos into podcasts while simultaneously uploading them on UA-cam as well. Your videos are more audio focused and I would love to listen to your thoughts without always having to have an internet connection.
gunnut505 Theyre probably updating D2 like they did with the others (inferno, nuke etc). Im seeing so much hate on nuke and cobble lately that i wouldnt be surprised if they make even more changes this year.
Michal G The community has been shitting on Nuke since and because it removed Inferno, which was a very beloved mal at the time and because it killed your fps etc. But with the changes they made to it, it's actually not a bad map. And if you think a moment about it, the only tier 1 team that spoke badly about Nuke the last months was SK (and maybe fnatic if you considere them a top team). And when I search in MM or Faceit etc. I actually get to play Nuke reasonably often. What do we learn from this: As always the people crying out the loudest seem like they are the most, even if they aren't.
with all the skill on the roster idk what ur talking about bc fnatic was a newly assembled team since im guessing they hadnt played together until they rumors started and also the new g2 had started practicing before the rumors had surfaced lol if u dont believe me just look at the reddit posty about the new g2 practicing
BottomFragger As a rifler but Sixer seems to be taking on the role of primary AWPer as he did in 1.6. So I'd like to see his thoughts on how that will go.
Mesa Roku Heroic is an upset team, it's what they do. G2 isn't expected to have a super deep map pool anyways, especially after only several days, which plays out perfectly for Heroic.
Thorin talking for years about KQLY and shit but forgets the legit best french AWPer 'fxy0' that is sadly also banned due to match-fixing. RIP fxy0 - #1 french AWPer Imagine EnVyUs: - Happy (IGL) - fxy0 (AWP) - ScreaM (Entry) - xms (role?) - RpK (Support) Now that would be a fucking sick team. Imagine -xms +kio - even fucking better. But I like how ScreaM and Happy already fucking took the whole shitty G2 lineup apart :) I bet those G2 baguettes are already SUPER TILT and are waiting for the next shuffle.
The long anticipated Thooorin video is upon us. Thank father jesus god christ omg yes
GameNationRDF lol
All hail the Thorin
and its 40 minutes. Long live Thorinn
I had been waiting for this.
El Lohvrti same

Lol
CatnamedMittens Curios
...and he delivered!
this is actually so relaxing to listen to thoorin, I dont know why.
Janne Parkson with ya
Janne Parkson I grind dm and retakes and just listen to thoorin the entire time.
Janne Parkson I grind dm and retakes and just listen to thoorin the entire time.
The long awaited and much anticipated video about the French Shuffle is finally here PogChamp
40 minutes of content and no ads you are the goat
The French CS scene atm. Tons of raw talent, tons of raw potential to be truly terrifying within CSGO.....yet no fucking clue how to use it to achieve victory.
Thorin just told us to kill ourselves.. FeelsBadMan
Deerv / M-Jeyy killermemestar
Deerv / M-Jeyy well at least you know he's ginger
I have no hope for this shuffle tbh. I just want to see the old fnatic play on inferno again!
Dave Do you remember that the old EnvyUs lineup was the best team on inferno in the world at some point? NBK and KennyS were absolute monsters on it. I think G2 vs Fnatic could be one of the coolest duels in 2017, especially on inferno
Arguably

fnatic: Inferno
Times played 171
Wins / draws / losses 125 / 3 / 43

Envyus vs fnatic on Inferno
fnatic 7 wins
Envyus 1 win
DirooX fnatic was way better at inferno. Envyus just looked really good because of the holds from NBK and Kennys but that doesn't make the entire team good.
40 min of informative ASMR. I'm blessed : )
"Long Awaited (Jebaited) and much anticipated (Jebaited)." -Thoorin knows his memes FeelsGoodMan
19:35 made me die, so true
love it, pure content
Luv u thorin thanks for the work
I'm hoping for a reflections with an old cs pro soon. That'd be the best.
Great video thorin!
How the fuck do you make a 40 minute video about this, even talk about Kqly and Maniac ffs and still not talk about how Scream was left out of the super team?
Rumors say that the only reason is because he is not french. Even tough he speaks french, there are some tournaments that only allow teams with only one nationality to play.
because scream isn't good enough to be on the super team
Adam, that's just not true. I prefer him instead of boddy :P
Matheus Daniel da Silveira you prefer. Players don't. That's the point. Also, WESG.
scream might join makeleles new team or faze
this is why i follow this god, i love to hear his opinions , and most of the times its not only an opinion but also FACTS !
16:01 - "and since they're all about confidence and all this bullshit" LMAO
Damn, calling out analysts for their shit. Good shit.
So sad to see screaM gone
19:30. xD ty for this video, I was waiting
How did u manage to not talk about the wun taps
Luka Delic scream is not from france so
well the title of the video is "the third french shuffle" which implys the shuffle of the team lineups, the teams are french. therefore scream is a viable topic to talk about.
irregardless of his nationality
enjoyed listening great video!
19:00 - Shox DID play with a dominant AWPer before. fxy0 in Epsilon.
I agree, lets see how scream will do in the future!
@Thooorin please in depth Fnatic thoughts
40 min, thats a hard Kreyg
does a confidence player include someone who gets worse as the losing gap increases?
RAWR ITS COW Slightly more complicated than that. But losing can be a factor.
I'm very excited about new G2, but I agree their map pool is a question mark: G2 and nV had different perma bans, and you're taking a big risk if you can't play both Train and Overpass given the strength of, for instance, Astralis on these maps (unless you perma ban one of them). However, with Dust2 out, Train is probably the number 1 "awper carry map, " and kennys can certainly do that.

And on an unrelated note, the new G2 jersey is incredible.
lets not say anything about this guy, kindest words thoris ever said.
@Thoorin please make a video about Faker's arrival to twitch
Thooorn I know you made another video for hiko when I asked, so please try and get another reflections with NBK big fan of him and what he had to share was very interesting and i'd love to hear his thoughts on recent events of the french scene
Please give your thoughts on the Active Duty change dust 2 got replaced
Hey thorin, are we getting a video about the fnx / felps shuffle (what it will be of the two brazilians teams, not the reasons the we all already know), or maybe the old fnatic roster together again, what we should expect, they still got their mojo?? Thanks cheers,

Scream will join kio as exiled french player, also it is not the first time scream was exiled as well.
Who is [shox] video please :) I want to know everything about his Source times :D
are you making a video about the fnatic shuffle?
thorin i just really have to ask, why do you always wear a jacket inside??
big up thorin
I agree with everything you said except for the Charles Barkley comment. He joined Drexler and Hakeem on the rockets which was a super team back then.
DoubleA Gaming no championship tho ;)
KennyS and Shox? Definitely a massive duo like Fallen and Coldzera if they click together.
happy in his first game back already played waaaay better and like he did in LDLC so im pumped for him
*back as with the new envy
Where is the major video?
I like Csgo
Billy Hashbrown we know
Billy Hashbrown I too like Counter Strike: Global Offensive, Billy.
Just a question why as Valve removed de_dust 2 and not Nuke? Everybody hates nuke. or are the revamping it ?
gunnut505 Theyre probably updating D2 like they did with the others (inferno, nuke etc). Im seeing so much hate on nuke and cobble lately that i wouldnt be surprised if they make even more changes this year.

What do we learn from this: As always the people crying out the loudest seem like they are the most, even if they aren't.
gunnut505 revamping probs
Fuck G2 is gonna be a good team next Major. RIP Team Envyus
thank you thoorin
whos this 2nd best french awper that thoorin talks abt at 19:11? kaylee? klee? not to sure. please help
Hyun Bang kooqlee
Hyun Bang KQLY
Hyun Bang KQLY
why are you wearing the headphones?
Do you keep your house at a nice cool 30 degrees? Lol
Shox and KennyS !?!?!?! FUCK YES I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS.
do you think any esport will ever be in the Olympics?
how cold is it in your place?
Nice jacket this time! @Thooorin
lol most of this video is disproven by g2 getting beat by heroic, or maybe just lack of experience as a team?
n0xie it is a new team. They need atleast a few weeks to adjust to a new team
im calm but they had scrims so obviously when they were playing it wasnt a tottally unknown expeirence
with all the skill on the roster idk what ur talking about bc fnatic was a newly assembled team since im guessing they hadnt played together until they rumors started and also the new g2 had started practicing before the rumors had surfaced lol if u dont believe me just look at the reddit posty about the new g2 practicing
Fnatic already played together before. All 5 players,
n0xie Your statement is comprehensible lol,what are you trying to say?
If Ex6tenZ ever actually succeeds in winning a Major, yung Duncan is going to be the fittest he's ever been after all that right hand cardio.
a video for Nv with scream?
Take a shot every time thorin touches his nose
They did well in the qualifier for katowice on Nuke and Train
Thooorin, please make a video on the "new" fnatic lineup! Would love to hear what you think about it.
Y R U DO DIS FRANCE???? POOR EX6TENZ
The "R" there is unecessary
juanme555 poor scream
lol the first time i read this, i thought the r in poor LULULULLU
I definitely think Scream or Ex6tenz should be on the team instead of Body
there is a big need for ex6
Anyone got links/images to the new rosters? btw i just saw an 'xms' on envyus , who's that?
Pixelize who was a player on ldlc
idk but i never saw xms before , so thats weird lol
If they kept scream on this team the trio would have been crazy
"Existence had to fucking Micro him" lmfao
A little summary of these thoughts would be nice...
his essays must have always exceeded the word count
You'd consider Shox over Get_right when it comes to all-time best rifler in CSGO?
Cornelius Fastie yes
Cornelius Fastie he said best rifler, not best player
I fell asleep to this. Twice!
the next major will be fucking insane ,😍
40 mins.....1 hour later still cant decide if to watch it or not!!
2017 is going to be the most competitive year of all time, insanely skilled teams, Na'Vi Astralis SK fnatic G2 VP North(with aizy)
When does he start talking about why scream isn't in the team?
9:07 shots fired at the warriors
Velhomiguel or the 2010 Miami heat
please make another about the swedish shuffle
Lovely
19:33
could it be possible that nbk, will become the igl?
19:35 Thorin, Did you just tell us to kill ourselves because of our humor? I thought you were better than that!
why do you wear a coat inside? XD
TochWeerMatija being an analyst is a tough life; he cannot afford his heating bill.
R.I.P.
his heating is permanently broken
travel 10 months a year. pay for heat? Or wear coats. Thoorin = rich
Cl1che he should invest in an electric heater.
19:20 I just died :,D ty papa
finally
This era reminds me of Melee at the moment.
No thoughts on Sixer?
Logical Technology I think he and most people just see him as a slightly more talented DEVIL.
BottomFragger As a rifler but Sixer seems to be taking on the role of primary AWPer as he did in 1.6. So I'd like to see his thoughts on how that will go.
Skipped Chemistry to watch this lmao
Zarrakon worth it.
***** Thanks /:
***** Okay.
all the people saying that 40 minutes is a lot clearly never watched Alphadraft ;D
Cryptic hahah
3:04 they got kenny and apex from titan.
I'm just waiting till pro league s3 to see all these new teams In action
DiddyKong Micah yes
It is ein shuffol vich vill last EIN ZOUSANT YEARS!
Wait... who was banned for match fixing?
Thumps up for not spliting the Video!
u mean kukli?
NBK is a beast on the B-site of inferno
di bano and cache A
French Super team went out to Cadian's team
They had about 3 days practice, what did you expect?
I didn't expect much but please ... not to Heroic
Mesa Roku Heroic is an upset team, it's what they do. G2 isn't expected to have a super deep map pool anyways, especially after only several days, which plays out perfectly for Heroic.
Mesa Roku lmao
can you do one on fnatic reuniting
Why he wear coat scarf always?
Thorin talking for years about KQLY and shit but forgets the legit best french AWPer 'fxy0' that is sadly also banned due to match-fixing.
RIP fxy0 - #1 french AWPer
Imagine EnVyUs:
- Happy (IGL)
- fxy0 (AWP)
- ScreaM (Entry)
- xms (role?)
- RpK (Support)
Now that would be a fucking sick team.
Imagine -xms +kio - even fucking better. But I like how ScreaM and Happy already fucking took the whole shitty G2 lineup apart :) I bet those G2 baguettes are already SUPER TILT and are waiting for the next shuffle.
