Being a dane there is so many players that I miss. trace, zonic (get to see him a little still), ave, Sunde, mJe, Paddy, whiMp and ArcadioN. On an international scene I miss spanish player and superstar Musamban1 and old NoA players, Knoxville, ShaGuar, XeqtR, elemeNt etc. So many good times in 1.6, damn I miss mid 00s, those times were damn intense.
As someone who played CS since beta 3, weird to here all these names that couldn't transition, and then also none of them are familiar. There was a huge amount of talent that peaked way to early for esports. and Counter-Strike was a major reason why E-Sports kicked off in America how it did.
mentioned romjke but not LeX :( i feel like LeX could've been a star awper even though he never played passed like 08 or 09 ish. That team with Sally, Romjke, LeX, Johan K (dont remember his ign) seemed like it had a lot of firepower. Edit: I think the team with Johan K, LeX, Sally, Viktor F, and Romjke
element was by far the best Norwegian CS 1.6 player. Real was pure skill even though some people did stated elemenT didn't had the best aim but made it up for his excellent reading of the game.
Thorin, imagine this this for the first cs go major. Threat, Gux, Delpan, Face, Khrystal/FYRR73. They would have every role. igl, awp, entry, lurk, suport. what if man, what if..
Would say Xizt and Karrigan who did played for fnatic in the latter days of 1.6 and made a solid transition to CSGO but then they weren't like big names at all during that period despite playing for a well known team. You got Olofmeister and Pronax,who weren't even that known in 1.6 but made the transition to CSGO and the rest for them is history.
DSN, sick awper, solid rifler and a pistol beast. Had a great mind and would be worth top dollar in CSGO now where IGL's seem to be very lacking in skillsets or have very basic skills.
Edward from Na'Vi. Best pistol player ever in 1.6 Potti, cogu and elemeNt was also monsters. My future hopes is that the Brazil SK will go back to their roots and play for mibr (MadeInBrazil) :)
Like Andy Murray! When he loses he's Scottish and when he wins he is English :D idek Who Dephh or Smooya is :3 And it doesn't say if they're Scottish or not So please teach me!
You forgot to say some Brazilian star 1.6 players that still playing CSGO, I think is interesting to add some of them: pava is playing CSGO since the beginning in Brazil, he was the best pistol BR player and one the most talent players that we ever had. Nowadays he's playing for team oNe in BR nak returned to the scene on 2015 playing for Keyd Stars, in my opinion he was the third best CS 1.6 player in Brazil, just behind to cogu and fnx. Nowadays he's playing for Red (old orbit) bit was another successful player, he won ShgOpen at his first international tournament playing against top teams as Pentagram, Begrip, NoA, SK and fnatic. Nowadays he's playing for team oNe aside pava in Brazil bruno played in the most victorious mibr lineup ever in Brazil, he won ESWC 2006 and ShgOpen 2007, he was very underrated player at the time, very similar to TACO in SK. Nowadays he returned to play in the competitive BR scene, he's playing for ProGaming
I don't know if anyone can inform me on this or if the information is already out. but when is the next Counter Strike coming out? Or when do you think it will?
CS:GO shows no signs of slowing down, the scene is amazing and a lot of money is coming in, so it could be a long time until there's another game. I used to wish for a new game too, but making a new game IMO wouldn't improve any problems that an update could.
Plus you would have the same problem as 1.6 and CS:S, the scene being split up between the two. Teams who don't want to make the transition to the new game because in the old one they're good and there is still money up for grabs.
i think they will keep updating CSGO, compare the game today and in 2013, they are two completely different versions of CS, they are even more different than 2012 CSGO and source, so the game might just keep evolving instead of ecoming a new title, also you don't want a rivalry between two titles as it happened with 1.6 and source
He died in a car accident cause he missed a flight to a tournament. so he went back from the Airport and there he died. source: www.hltv.org/news/4888-cyx-killed-in-car-accident
i think you fucked up with ROMJke part.. he was actually pretty trash for a long time towards the end of 1.6, the other russian player who could've legit succeeded in cs:go is most definitely ED1k, he was one of the best players in the world towards the end of 1.6, in 2011 especially, while being an ingame leader
Đorđe Bobić yea, probably mine too. This guy was one of the most skilled players, kinda like s1mple is today. Wish he hadn't disappeared, for those who don't know him, watch his fragmovies. Insane skillset
PhP wasn't a legendary awper. And you completely missed the UK scene which was VERY strong in CSS yet failed badly in GO (rattlesnk, hughsy, ritch, wez, wilzOo, release etc).
yeah bro i watched the video on his comeback, sometimes he streams on twitch but i dont think hes playing in a team now, very sad, super talented player
got invited to the beta and tried it thought it was shit and didn't play until 2014 September which i kinda regret coz at the start i might have made it something :D
the problem with your reply is not that you're a newfag noob casual scrub redditor u.s american brownie, but the fact that you just say "no" in a way that sounds cool in your head and is self-explanatory is just cringe, don't just say things that sound cool in your head dumbass your life is not a movie *wtf* .-.
in terms of raw skill the sourcers overpowered the 1.6ers xd Shox and Kenny at their peak were mechanically skilled superiorly to GTR and Dosia at their peak.
Being a dane there is so many players that I miss. trace, zonic (get to see him a little still), ave, Sunde, mJe, Paddy, whiMp and ArcadioN.

I was always surprised and shocked to a degree how NE0 had such a tough transitioning to csgo
NeonAstral I think it's all about his role now. He used to be a star player, now he's support. But sometimes he's showing some magic.
I agree.
Simon kind of a shame because the only player who has similar talent to him is snax. I kinda feel like he could be like that again
great video, me being 15 and not knowing much about the older pro scene, I love hearing this type of thing
Ryze_TV same dude
Markeloff instantly came to mind when seeing this title
Yes, sadly, thooorin didn't mention him
As someone who played CS since beta 3, weird to here all these names that couldn't transition, and then also none of them are familiar. There was a huge amount of talent that peaked way to early for esports. and Counter-Strike was a major reason why E-Sports kicked off in America how it did.
What would Esports be without Thorin?
I really hope nEo will come back at some point.
He will never get his 1.6 level but from time to time he shows what he can :)
Nice one thorin, one tip- try to put some blankets un in the room that the camera isnt aimed so that your voice has no echo
thoorin, can you make a video about msx later on? the Who is x series? i like watching those to catch up as a newcomer.
One thing I like about Thorin is every video he makes have very good points :0
Nothing better than a notification that thooorin uploaded
Jesse what shirt is that?
maiikah its a t-shirt
spawN?
No coat? no scarf? Youre not the real Thorin.
aslak was awpGOD back in 1.6 :( he even made top20 (17) on 2011
the amount of potential stars we could have seen... feels really bad
I think that aslak was one of the best awper players in 1.6 history and i absolutely missed these days with Basic, Lurppis, H^N, allu in 2011
well depends on how you define one of the best.. he wasnt even in top20 awpers ever in 1.6
mentioned romjke but not LeX :( i feel like LeX could've been a star awper even though he never played passed like 08 or 09 ish. That team with Sally, Romjke, LeX, Johan K (dont remember his ign) seemed like it had a lot of firepower.
Edit: I think the team with Johan K, LeX, Sally, Viktor F, and Romjke
6:06 in the early gays??
elemeNt was another outstanding lost Norwegian 1.6 talent I feel even better than real
element was by far the best Norwegian CS 1.6 player. Real was pure skill even though some people did stated elemenT didn't had the best aim but made it up for his excellent reading of the game.
ElemeNt was a prodigy , and probably the best in game leader of all time . And yeah i agree with u bro! Real was the best aimer .
quit long b4 cs go tho right?
Thorin, imagine this this for the first cs go major. Threat, Gux, Delpan, Face, Khrystal/FYRR73. They would have every role. igl, awp, entry, lurk, suport. what if man, what if..
"In the early gays" 6:06
Sedan from Romania was a beast
What about all the old Finnish lineups? astralis? destination skyline?
EESTRALIS
.PhP wasn't the awper was he? Thought Guardian was in that team?
its fun to hear you mention other Finnish talent then ruuit now and then :)
Would say Xizt and Karrigan who did played for fnatic in the latter days of 1.6 and made a solid transition to CSGO but then they weren't like big names at all during that period despite playing for a well known team. You got Olofmeister and Pronax,who weren't even that known in 1.6 but made the transition to CSGO and the rest for them is history.
Damn, another video already?
Don't worry thorin I'll be coming real soon
It makes me sad that ruuit didn't really get in csgo. He was such an amazing player. Imagine the finnishs scene if he had made a proper transition...
With plaste basic jigetus etc
what happened to the mic stand
DSN, sick awper, solid rifler and a pistol beast. Had a great mind and would be worth top dollar in CSGO now where IGL's seem to be very lacking in skillsets or have very basic skills.
How can we get Thorin on the Joe Rogan Podcast?
Top Skills that would be amazing. I'm not sure if it would work, but I'm for it. I love Joe and Duncan so much, it would be a dream come true!
every time joe is tweeting I tweet him back "get @thoorin on the podcast"
Did you know Joe was a hardcore gamer at one point?
What about Robbin I know he's coaching faze now but he was great in the Sweden scene
Edward from Na'Vi. Best pistol player ever in 1.6
Potti, cogu and elemeNt was also monsters.
My future hopes is that the Brazil SK will go back to their roots and play for mibr (MadeInBrazil) :)
Oh god Edward.
This didn't age well 🤣
Was there any good Scottish players? Cause I feel the UK are not very good in any E-Sports except Rocket League :D
What are you talking about, we have the prodigy himself, Dephh!
smooya 10x better than dephh
Neither Africa
Like Andy Murray! When he loses he's Scottish and when he wins he is English :D idek Who Dephh or Smooya is :3 And it doesn't say if they're Scottish or not So please teach me!

Rafael he didn't say the brazilian players because he knew you can do it much better
love these type of videos
Kalle pronax barbarr moddiii tacky

I cry everytime i remember "face" :( he was a beast rifler..
thnx fo that video , i asked u for it , and u did it , thnx a lot duncan
what about LuQ?
.PhP an awper? When he was at his height in Css he actually played with guardian in reason gaming. Guardian was obviously the awper!
What about all of Team 3D?
NOA!
SK!
I don't know if anyone can inform me on this or if the information is already out. but when is the next Counter Strike coming out? Or when do you think it will?

Your microphone has a slight ring at like 160-200Hz @thooorin
Also great video :D
What about SvarteN? Sick norwegian talent.
which gamer of mousesports died? sixa? didnt understand the Name at all
cyx
Paul Kli How did he die?
He died in a car accident cause he missed a flight to a tournament. so he went back from the Airport and there he died. source: www.hltv.org/news/4888-cyx-killed-in-car-accident
What ive heard, Delpan has problem with cash and drugs, cant confirmed it tho
B3land #Stat big if true.
Can't wait for the csgo version of this video in a few years.
i think you fucked up with ROMJke part.. he was actually pretty trash for a long time towards the end of 1.6, the other russian player who could've legit succeeded in cs:go is most definitely ED1k, he was one of the best players in the world towards the end of 1.6, in 2011 especially, while being an ingame leader
luq, kuben, loord, element, robban, walle, cogu, some guys from team 3d and old sk, more and more and more.
FYRR73?
Yeah, man i wish he was in the scene today..my fav 1.6 player
Đorđe Bobić yea, probably mine too. This guy was one of the most skilled players, kinda like s1mple is today. Wish he hadn't disappeared, for those who don't know him, watch his fragmovies. Insane skillset
fury, keiz, molander, bail there are so many....
so outside of bail, some of the most online players to ever play the game
xpozer
php was a rifler, not an awper
php was an apwer who played with oskar? What?? LOL!
A WHOLE YUR
PhP wasn't a legendary awper. And you completely missed the UK scene which was VERY strong in CSS yet failed badly in GO (rattlesnk, hughsy, ritch, wez, wilzOo, release etc).
no mention of ruuit
didnt hear him mention spawn either?
I have an eargasm when he says Also
Why is he talking into a sock?
every time thorin says yurrrrr i take a shot
WE NEED PART 2! What about FYRR73, fury, molander, keiz, bail and so on. Best episode of urs so far need 2nd part@@@!!!!!!!!
THEREALHAIKEN lol molander what a joke
I wonder what Thorin would do with his hands if he didn't have a beard
am I the only one who thinks Thooring is talking to a sock? xD
I think romjke still plays, just casually, would of been cool to see him in csgo though, same with fox
liquiddnb fox actually made a comeback with m5 in 2015, altough his teammates where young and bad so i dont think he hanged around for very wrong
yeah bro i watched the video on his comeback, sometimes he streams on twitch but i dont think hes playing in a team now, very sad, super talented player
are u still wearing that shirt??
SpawN ? mSx = Beast :)
Back with the mic coughing.
Hope it blows your ear drums out and the only work left for you is on an assembly line.
DAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAMN
oh damn
THAT was the best thing you could come up with? I was really hoping for a way better reply from you sir.
SAVAGE
i watched this just because i expected him to talk about markeloff but he hardly even mentioned him and it was off topic
I MISS Delpan From 1.6 :(
php= awper?
What is your rank Thorin?
Kshitij Vengurlekar he doesn't play.
El Lohvrti Why? Has ever adressed it? Hard to imagine him not playing at all.
Kshitij Vengurlekar doesnt matter,even if he's a silver,he has the knowledge the entire casual community times 5
He doesn't enjoy playing the game. It's pretty dogshit compared to 1.6, honestly.
I hope u mentioned coloN
basic actually has been playing a bit recently.
got invited to the beta and tried it thought it was shit and didn't play until 2014 September which i kinda regret coz at the start i might have made it something :D
Doubt it.
First time i played csgo was in 2011:DD on xbox there was a free 45 min alpha trial
Gux would be a god in CS:GO.
11:18
Does anyone know if Heaton has played any csgo? even if its not super competative i would love to see him play a bit.
The lost 1.6 stars?!
so you mean Get_Right?
Lel sick meme kappa pappa
cyx
He's rip u stupid fuck
Get_right is not a lost 1.6 star he was 2 times best player in the world on cs go
Massudo no shit

zneel tho
Source lost stars: anGeldusT, FeTiSh, h0lm, wantz, gravity, nooky, HudzG, weber, RattleSnK, nEILZiNHo, Whindanski, KRAEUTERHUMPEN
i think fetish played up to 2015, but he wasnt any good, all the british guys played but just sucked even tho they played alot.. GB scene btw lol
Fetish brought up the Astralis core thru Team Dignitas, device, xyp9x, snd Dupreeh, don’t think he plays anymore tho
TiLs? Volcano? MTW, Come on now thorin how U gonna forget about TiLs
No Norwegian players?
fr0d?
twinkle twinkle little star
What would happen if nobody gave shit about csgo back then ?
Romjke played alot with dosia and fox in the 1.6 days
videos like these really make me sad that Fr0d fell off hard.
FRoD m0e
Snax tier 100000 in cs1.6 and now he became the best player in poland lol
human Twas all about NEO in CS1.6
Hardly. NEO had his eyes on Snax even in 1.6!
valve fucked up with the riffles spread too much , csgo 2013 is superior in terms of game mechanics to csgo of 2015 and 2016.
the problem with your reply is not that you're a newfag noob casual scrub redditor u.s american brownie, but the fact that you just say "no" in a way that sounds cool in your head and is self-explanatory is just cringe, don't just say things that sound cool in your head dumbass your life is not a movie *wtf* .-.
no
juanme555 no
2013 csgo was a joke, glad they updated it
Cuz u were bot, they had to casualize the game for you to liek it, noobi
in terms of raw skill the sourcers overpowered the 1.6ers xd
Shox and Kenny at their peak were mechanically skilled superiorly to GTR and Dosia at their peak.
juanme555 Lmfao
You're really delusional, source was a dog shit level CS game. 1.6 legends > source legends and it isn't even close.
