@@marquisfire5 he had cancer, stage 3 stomach cancer. He beat it and was a back up on a team in season 5 but out of no where he relapsed and passed away. I absolutely loved this man. He was a big personality from pre season 1. One of the first smite streamers and personalities. A truly amazing person. He will always be remembered. When they redesigned the last conquest map they added a statue of him on the order side doing his signature pose in a Greek toga. Smite did a bunch of funds raisers for him during season 3-4 as well as other streamers and they donated all proceeds to cancer foundations and his medical bills. Smite hasn't been the same since. Truly a great and devastating loss. But his memory lives on in UA-cam videos.
I'm still so sad this team fell apart before Worlds. They were so good and so fun to watch. At least Splyce felt like the reincarnation of AFK en route to their World Championship.
Recently on the Backliner's podcast while discussing the Mount Rushmore for Smite on each role, Cyclone was overlooked (as were others) due to being multi-role over the years, and Aggro sort of shrugged off his success in Solo as his whole team built themselves around letting him carry. While I understand the concept, especially since it makes sense that putting a carry in solo lane requires another front liner on your team or they suffer without it (which was usually Weak3n), nobody was carrying this effectively out of jg or other roles, and he was doing it on seemingly any pick he felt like. Back to back triples on Guan Yu? It's crazy. Seeing this video helped me remember how dominant he was. I will say I would still struggle to put him in the Mount Rushmore of Solo laners due to how many iconic ones there have been, but dismissing his dominance like that was quite an understatement imo!
@@seandavidson2788 It was in the episode from September 8th, titled on Spotify as, "The Backliners: Aggo and BaRRaCCuDDa Talk Renegades' Big Week + Their Smite Mt. Rushmore in Each Role"
@@metalnitro99 he carried the way he did because his team knew if they kept him safe they won. He still played amazingly but its hard to say he was on the same level as Yammyn back then. It's not like I'm saying Baskin wasn't arguably #1 (personally I don't believe he was) but cyclone was without a doubt the #1 solo and adc
These videos consistently make my day. Thank you for all the hard work. As for suggestions, Variety tearing up the league on thana was amazing to watch. He was soloing people left and right. He deserved the mvp of the tournament even though he lost
Honestly that whole game one of that set was one of the coolest live games I've ever watched. Twig double executing at titan and still cant end super bittersweet finals
Not sure if there is enough to do an extended vid on it but maybe that weird first minute Bellona quad and immediate f6. I know the clip is aleady on youtube but it'd be interesting to know what caused that whole debacle and what the aftermath was. I'm not sure if that's a viable option but if it is that'd be cool to see. Really loving the content btw, keep up the good work!
I remember watching AFK vs C9 live and as a C9 fan, I was so mad seeing barra picking neith. He was always there carry in late game fights if MLCsteath was getting focus.
I started watching the pro league less after that ridiculous meta shift from hi rez that dropped afk and i think it was paradigm from the top spots in NA and EU. I think this meta shift was when adapting and his team to climb up from below 4th place I think
I miss the whole original tsm and afk team, two best teams ever to play in my opinion. Tsm was like the only team you could rely on to beat afk when they were unstoppable they got me alot of points for the season tickets.
I personally still think he’s the best. In a clutch scenario I wouldn’t want any other player on my team other than maybe like yammyn or mlcstealth (specifically on scylla) lol
had to carry 667 version of weak3n that season too, to b fair he was playing odin a lot for initiation and cyclone was building full dmg solos but still
They won the 667 game though. That was weak3n best season. Cyclone played a hard carry while weak3n played a frontliner. Cyclone was only able to play the way he was because he didnt have to tank ever.
@@ruifernandes6808 yeah thats why I added the second part, i joke bc im a weak3n sub. He's a solid player and always has been, just lacks some top end potential and consistency
@@BettySmite i dont know bro, i was definitely more interested and entertained back then, maybe thats because im older now and have different interests though
@@drewkavi6327 Back then, there was drama and the NA vs EU rivalry. Nowadays, that regional rivalry is gone and all the pros are friendly with each other (for the most part).
Lol if the announcer that isn't screaming at the top of his lungs has a choice. I'd choose to announce with someone else. He's partnered with one of those douchbags that raise their voice a octave higher than yours no matter what to drown it out lol
If you guys remember what else happened at this LAN, you might be able to guess my next video...
Allied's penta?
Ding ding ding we have a winner
I miss allied and afk, best times
Do Legendary smite moment for NRG. Please
Like your vids man. Very nostalgic. An idea for some future videos: The Unicorn Build and when Cyclone unleashed the burst build for Ao Kuang.
Anyone else heart wrench when they see Allied? Rest in peace brother, we miss you.
How’d he die

@@daniel6009 fuck dm people actually liked and respected Allied
@@christianhatch1630 well said man , rip x
I was just thinking that. He's one of those unforgettable personalities that feels like we knew him personally
Rip Allied. Easily one of the greatest minds of this game

@@Razinik44 thanks man
Definitely deserves to be at least mentioned in the smite mt. Rushmore…he makes a great case of being one of the all time greats of SPL
He was the reason I chose my first favorite team in AFK when I started watching SPL. CycloneSpin GOATED imo
Honestly it's good to see how much weight Hinduman has lost!
I didnt even recognize him from back then
Cyclone is the only player I can think of that's been the #1 player in 2 roles. He is in another realm when it comes to smite
Did you forget about Baskin? Mid/Solo?
@@Colliholic I wouldn't say Baskin was #1 in mid though, top 3 sure. Not #1
@@tylerprime6741 He was defo number 1, literally carried his team single handedly at the time every game.

I remember watching this games live. So many names I recognize, it's so good to be back!
One of the commentators, Gandhi, is a former halo pro. He won the national championship for halo 2 in 2005 with team Carbon, defeating Final Boss.

Another fantastic video. Like the feel and flow of it. Also very informative since i missed the first 2 seasons
i love these videos, ive always thought there was a gap in the market for these type of videos
Cyclone is still top 5 in the world, crazy how good this man is at Smite
My favorite team of all time:
Incon, Allied, Kiki, Weaken, cyclone.
this has become one of my favorite smite channels
RIP Allied 😞
Are there enough clips of Paul getting Hel and hard carrying to make a vid out of?

Thanks, had a lot of requests for that so it's definitely on the list!
Ahh seeing Lassiz brought back memories.
Look the way cyclone dodge 1 of osiris, Just incredible, also, this commentaries are just SICK, you feel the emotion
God, it's so great watching DM be wrong. Also, I cry a little inside seeing Allied again. Such a good dude.
I remember watching AFK vs C9 live and as a C9 fan, I was so mad seeing barra picking neith. He was always there carry in late game fights if MLCsteath was getting focus.
I’d love I’d you do a legendary smite moment about weaken losing to Latin America
That already exists my dude! It's called Latin America stuns the world :)
@@BettySmite just watched it the other day 10/10 video still one of my favorite Ra games ever played
I love these videos
Holy crap was the casting shit here
The Goat
Janus' offensive portal used to be so large. Afk should have stayed together. Smite dream team
I had no idea that dm was a caster for early spl. That’s a huge stain on the pro scene ugh
It is in hindsight. It was the suicide thing on stream that got him fired from SPL in the first place.
Cyclone arguably has the biggest god pool of any player in the spl. Probably been in the most roles too. Very underrated imo
I started watching the pro league less after that ridiculous meta shift from hi rez that dropped afk and i think it was paradigm from the top spots in NA and EU. I think this meta shift was when adapting and his team to climb up from below 4th place I think

Executioner on Fenrir wtf, I was around at this point but I do t remember that being a thing
That AFK team w cyclone and incon was wild’
When he said "Allied is still alive" , i got sad
Would love to see the first games Cyclone played versus Divious
Betty... I love you.
Can u do 1 about Adapting
Also I miss allied. Those last videos he made with those Spanish dudes that were bodying him were so funny
such a beast
Nice to hear weak3n hype in this
Looking at his god pool alone it's hard to figure out what role he even plays. He just doesn't care.
(G)olden times... We miss you allied
Man I feel like season 1-3 feel so different to watch then season 4-7
"was" he still is
Cyclone spin is my favorite smite player ever and afk was my favorite team
he dives in and survives with a kill. i know i wouldn't risk that 12:28
Isn't Cyclone that did that crazy pentakill with Fenrir? My favorite Top Play of all times!!
im pretty sure it was adapting
andinster*
it’s
andinister
And now he is working with the best s7 player in the world
Rip Allied the legend man.
He was so good
Rise of Adaptking
I personally still think he’s the best. In a clutch scenario I wouldn’t want any other player on my team other than maybe like yammyn or mlcstealth (specifically on scylla) lol
As much as i dislike dm, he was a damn good caster, i'll give him that. RIP Allied forever
Season 10 solo laners mad about mage solos should just be thankful that they didn't have to deal with CycloneSpin just playing whatever he wanted.
had to carry 667 version of weak3n that season too, to b fair he was playing odin a lot for initiation and cyclone was building full dmg solos but still
They won the 667 game though. That was weak3n best season. Cyclone played a hard carry while weak3n played a frontliner. Cyclone was only able to play the way he was because he didnt have to tank ever.

@@ruifernandes6808 weak3n has even said before that cyclone carried them that season
Also back when Smite had a competitive scene that wasn't joke...
The scene is waaay better now than it ever was back then, always find it weird people have this rose tinted opinion
@@BettySmite i dont know bro, i was definitely more interested and entertained back then, maybe thats because im older now and have different interests though

What was the instrumental in the intro
pretend dm isnt here
I actually really liked his casting but as a person he’s human excrement
Yeah I think I’ll miss this video I can’t hear this voice
@@alexander6421 it’s still a pretty good video. Cyclone is insane
@@houyeet I know it is but hearing that bitch after all he has done Nope for me
@@alexander6421 I mean it’s just a voice. What he did is disgusting but that has nothing to do with the video
I miss F.
The Athena mid though (14:30)
I miss Allied
An amazing team with a tragic background. Sorry for allied and for incon 😢
What happened to incon?
@@keegieweegs6587 he got kicked off the team before worlds that year, and he and allied were tight
Fuck man, We miss you allied!
Holy hell
i miss allied in smite....
That time when he was best in the world with cheese dmg solo laners 😎
Don't be mistaken that man is still the best, pros know it
I’m just glad the casters have learned that louder does not equal better all the time
adapting next
19:15 CycloneSpin Penta Kill
Allied coms 🙂
I miss allied
@Weak3n is the goat
Cyclone was electric in his prime
Bart is kinda nutty no?
DM the “analyst” saying Baka can’t carry lol wtf
#ALLIEDSTRONG
Cyclone was unplayable, but damn incon was a really underrated SPL player
He still is fym
Pls Fenrir adapting in worlds
There's a whole vid on the c9 epsilon games out already if you're interested :)
Lol DMbrandon
He was the best solo/jungle then, but isnt he in the realm of best adc now?
For sure! It's just that he isn't as clearly dominant at the moment as he was during this period, he's definitely still one of the best out there
If you ask PandaCat, he would say CycloneSpin is the best ADC.
"How did Allied live?" He didn't 😞
How’d he die
@@marquisfire5 pretty sure it was cancer. It was a sad day in the community. Pretty sure it was 2016 basically not long after this video.
Wtf is that Agni skin Boosh was using
Volcanic, the skin received a remodel some time after Agni himself was remodeled.
I only hate this vid, because it reminded me of that thash of man DMbrandon
Man these old clips are awesome but listening to DM speak isn’t awesome
prozd
what do you mean was? he is still the best in the world
Lol if the announcer that isn't screaming at the top of his lungs has a choice. I'd choose to announce with someone else. He's partnered with one of those douchbags that raise their voice a octave higher than yours no matter what to drown it out lol

7:00 the way he land this stun is rly suspicious
It's just old ullr axe used to have a crazy delay like Ares chains
@@brennanholliday8845 ho ok ty
A cyclone tribute but a weekens worstspl moments. Lol
Bmdumban
Coming soon, Incon betrayed by....
He wasn't betrayed lol. Don't even try going there
weakens also a beast
Damn so afk could of won s2 worlds
2:33 did not age well
so many ads...
Is it just me or was weaken always kind of bad (atleast at a pro level) I didn't watch before season 3
