This brings back memories and now I feel super old. I went to college with Shaguar's teammate on First wave. 1st-Mis. This kid was so insane and I remember him destroying x3 on Aztec and was just floored he had the best aim I've ever seen. I was so mad that he didn't take gaming serious and was focused on school work lol.
I loved this alot Thooorin. I have been watching CS competitive since the SK Dominate days of heaton. I really do appreciate your thoughts on some old legends of the game. When I was 15-16 I was watching Shaguar and Sunman make these incredible plays. Huge upvote from me! Keep the Nostalgia coming from time to time!!
NoA The Two Continents is one of the best edited 1.6 frag videos. Also shows their run from the lower, "not losers," bracket. Glad to see Thorin posted a link to it in the details, even if he didn't mention it
WHAT UP NOW SWEDES? WOOOOOOOOOOO. on a more serious note, i really liked this vid, i didn't know shag had made it so big in poker, i will check it out when it airs.. great video man.
Would love to see a "Who Is" on Sunman. I was mesmerized by his frag videos when I was a kid, but never knew much about his career or personality. Great content as always, Thorin!
You need sick flashback clips, and that deep ESPN sports history voice. Also you should think about doing a podcast these UA-cam videos kill my battery. Anyways great video good listen!
I loved watching Shaguar. He was a deadly AWPer in his day. It's good you are raising awareness of past players. Younger people may not know about these legends. Please discuss Spawn and Potti.
In my opinion, shaGuar, JohnnyR, Cogu, KSharp, fRoD, Xeqtr and Vilden were the best awper back in pre-2007 of competitive CS before the era of Markeloff, Cyx, dsn, Delpan and Neo
Ahh what a nice change of pace. Although I'm all in for exposing the cheaters and discussing the juicy stuff, this piece of history was really interresting, thank you !
"Who is shaGuar?" The man, the legend himself. The man who screeched the infamous words "WHAT UP NOW SWEDES?! WOOOOOOO!" And we fucking love him for it.
Shag's a tournament junky in poker. he loves huge swings/variance ( from cs obviously ) I'd say his mentality in poker is amazing and he's got the talent/skill to take down any tournament he plays in but because it's a tournament sometimes the best player doesn't win but we all hoping you get top 3 SHAG. Thank Alienhead(bishikon best warlock/csplayer in aus) on youtube for saving that video.
I remember watching that documentary, It actually contained some arguments for both sides but the "final verdict" that his father made was so biased that he may as well have not made the documentary in the first place. Also did dkt play every competitive shooter or something :D
This made me remember an old shaGuar or dabears quote from the early days of EU domination of CPL tournaments and such. "You spend 50% of the time blind and 50% of the time dead" regarding how EU teams used flashes much more efficently than NA teams did.
I never thought my two passions of poker and counter strike would cross over. I will watch attentively when it gets released. Side note I enjoyed the clips.
@Thooorin, don't you think it's funny that the WSOP referred him to as pretty successful CS player before the CS Community even "recognized" him as one of their own when it was announced he was making the final table of WSOP? Doesn't it ring a bell of an 10 years old article that Griffin's former teammate, steel, had written, I believe, for ESEA re-shared on Gotfrag? I remember having a really long and interesting debate with you and steel there. Was about how the community doesn't have that memory and recognition of the past players like traditional sports do.
Thorrin can you do a video on the history of UK csgo. It's something I imagine you are knowledgeable on and I have no idea of not being a fan for the scene for long enough to see teams
The flash that goes under the box in ramp room. If you're not familiar, the flash goes between the box and the ground fully blinds everyone in the room. They later patched this bug to stop this from happening at future events.
it has been confirmed. Thorin, the legend himself has stepped down and announced his retirement of League Of Legends. His scrilla of Alphadraft had ended, and so does his legacy. We will miss you Thorin, stop be Riot sometime... :(
What happened to the interview he had with n0thing? Can't find that video anywhere. He also played cs:go on his twitch at one point, but that isn't available either :/
Hey Thorin. What is your opinion of MLG Columbus? Do you think there will be another North American major and if so where do you think it should be held.
When I saw his face I knew it was the what up now swedes guy. I hope if he wins a poker event against a swedish pro poker player he does that again for us :^)
Hey Thooorin ! I'm really enjoying every single video,which makes my day and i would like to thank you for =)I have a video suggestion,could you make a video "Who is Potti ?" in my opinion this would be amazing,becouse you said that top 3 cs 1.6 players are Forest,Neo and Potti so it would be fare that all of theese players have their own video about them :) Like if you agree !
Thorin can talk more about a single player than most can talk about their entire knowledge of CS.
CS pro legend to $ Million dollar Poker star. What a career and I had no idea about this guy. Nice video.
what up now swedes woOOOOO!!!! don't know the most epic clip in cs history?
I kind of wish there was a timeline for all of CS with all significant events. It'd make this all so much easier to understand.
MLG killed GotFrag that have so many historic information about CS from the early days. It sucks, really
I got chills when he said eOlithic... anyone else?
then instantly watched their old frag video
Who is shaGuar? The guy who shouted "WHAT UP NOW SWEDES WHOOOOOOOOOOA"
Was that really him??
+Quantumised yes
I have been wondering all this time D:
:o
Thorin put links in the bio guys, it happened.
Time for a ritual celebration.
ahhahahahahah
I thought this day would never come.
yessssssssss. Been waiting forever for this one. And a long one too! Thanks thorin! You always deliver.
You can talk for 45 minutes about shaGuar and I can't speak about the entire depth of my knowledge for that long. Damn dude
i can't talk for 45 minutes about my story life lol
This brings back memories and now I feel super old. I went to college with Shaguar's teammate on First wave. 1st-Mis. This kid was so insane and I remember him destroying x3 on Aztec and was just floored he had the best aim I've ever seen. I was so mad that he didn't take gaming serious and was focused on school work lol.
What up now swedes, WOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
10/10 meme usage. Perfectly sweet yet still spicy
What up now weebs, woooooo
Or... what up now subs? WOOOOOOO
we're still the best
Jonathan Garbom On average, no doubt.
NoA! You are bringing back some memories Thorin!
I loved this alot Thooorin. I have been watching CS competitive since the SK Dominate days of heaton. I really do appreciate your thoughts on some old legends of the game. When I was 15-16 I was watching Shaguar and Sunman make these incredible plays. Huge upvote from me! Keep the Nostalgia coming from time to time!!
Been waiting for this. Would really love to hear an interview with him, hope you can do that soon!
I always think "I wish I had these videos back in 1.5/1.6" love it when you make these. Thanks!
NoA The Two Continents is one of the best edited 1.6 frag videos. Also shows their run from the lower, "not losers," bracket. Glad to see Thorin posted a link to it in the details, even if he didn't mention it
I am so fucking stoked for that frag movie that you/shaGuar might upload later.
WHAT UP NOW SWEDES? WOOOOOOOOOOO.
on a more serious note, i really liked this vid, i didn't know shag had made it so big in poker, i will check it out when it airs.. great video man.

Thorin is love Thorin is life
*Insert VP are going to get into SmithZZ right now gif*
I need your videos as a podcast when they're this long pls!
You need sick flashback clips, and that deep ESPN sports history voice. Also you should think about doing a podcast these UA-cam videos kill my battery. Anyways great video good listen!
I'm not sure how thorin would like you doing this but you can just search UA-cam to mp3 downloading only the sound files making it like a podcast :P
I actually love the trips down memory lane with the history of CS vids.
shaGuar was my idol back in the day. I'll never forget the zEx vs SK on train match.
im old... i actually remember some of the stuff he says from back in the days ^^
Absolutely fantastic video @thooorin I'd love to see some videos of where other past pro's are now. ShaGuar was my favourite player back then.
I loved watching Shaguar. He was a deadly AWPer in his day. It's good you are raising awareness of past players. Younger people may not know about these legends. Please discuss Spawn and Potti.
In my opinion, shaGuar, JohnnyR, Cogu, KSharp, fRoD, Xeqtr and Vilden were the best awper back in pre-2007 of competitive CS before the era of Markeloff, Cyx, dsn, Delpan and Neo
Shaguar was fun to hang out with when everyone was out in LA for CGS
Great video Thorin. I have a request of a video to do, one of SpawN and his achievements and greatness.
Ahh what a nice change of pace. Although I'm all in for exposing the cheaters and discussing the juicy stuff, this piece of history was really interresting, thank you !
I've been waiting for this video for years! He is the most interesting person we've ever had In the E-Sports scene
"Who is shaGuar?"
The man, the legend himself.
The man who screeched the infamous words "WHAT UP NOW SWEDES?! WOOOOOOO!"
And we fucking love him for it.
Love your videos Duncan, thanks for doing this
i could listen to thoorin all day
Shag's a tournament junky in poker. he loves huge swings/variance ( from cs obviously ) I'd say his mentality in poker is amazing and he's got the talent/skill to take down any tournament he plays in but because it's a tournament sometimes the best player doesn't win but we all hoping you get top 3 SHAG. Thank Alienhead(bishikon best warlock/csplayer in aus) on youtube for saving that video.
what do you think about the gambling shut downs?
Yes
You have a Minecraft profile picture and a shit name. You are the cancer of UA-cam.
dad why is that man poking a bear
Thorini what do you think about DEEZ NUTS?
who gives a shit
Another 40+ min video😍😍 blessed
ShaGuar was sooooo good back in the day. NoA most fun team to watch ever.
I liked them, SK with SpawN, coL, and mibr
+Elvis Maduro no doubt man old sk.swe with spawn soo scary lol
Old CS sounds way more interesting than modern day CS tbh.
most likely been pointed out already but shaGuar played against a different Canadian steel, not the iBP guy who I believe started around CS:Source
I remember watching that documentary, It actually contained some arguments for both sides but the "final verdict" that his father made was so biased that he may as well have not made the documentary in the first place.
Also did dkt play every competitive shooter or something :D
This made me remember an old shaGuar or dabears quote from the early days of EU domination of CPL tournaments and such. "You spend 50% of the time blind and 50% of the time dead" regarding how EU teams used flashes much more efficently than NA teams did.
This is going to be a good one as always
Does shaGuar and Method were the first two NA player who got offer to play in EU with those guy from team NoA ??
I never thought my two passions of poker and counter strike would cross over. I will watch attentively when it gets released. Side note I enjoyed the clips.
I wonder what Faustian deal Thorin struck to have such an immaculate memory.
The short answer to who is JaGuar: He is the "WHAT UP NOW SWEDES"-guy
This is a really good video great job.
@Thooorin, don't you think it's funny that the WSOP referred him to as pretty successful CS player before the CS Community even "recognized" him as one of their own when it was announced he was making the final table of WSOP?
Doesn't it ring a bell of an 10 years old article that Griffin's former teammate, steel, had written, I believe, for ESEA re-shared on Gotfrag?

he is in november 9 in wsop this year. Gonna win some millions
Thorrin can you do a video on the history of UK csgo. It's something I imagine you are knowledgeable on and I have no idea of not being a fan for the scene for long enough to see teams
I started following the Counter-Strike pro scene because of NoA!
what flash bug are you referring to in the eyeballers-NoA nuke match?
The flash that goes under the box in ramp room. If you're not familiar, the flash goes between the box and the ground fully blinds everyone in the room. They later patched this bug to stop this from happening at future events.
oh yeah, i knew it used to be floating and you could see under it as ct but i didn't realize you could fit a flash through it!
Love you Thooorin :)
it has been confirmed. Thorin, the legend himself has stepped down and announced his retirement of League Of Legends. His scrilla of Alphadraft had ended, and so does his legacy. We will miss you Thorin, stop be Riot sometime... :(
Very good job. Super impressive!
Best CS:GO movies, Thorin?
What happened to the interview he had with n0thing? Can't find that video anywhere. He also played cs:go on his twitch at one point, but that isn't available either :/
So is Shaguar comparable with Hiko skill and mindset wise?
No, I think Shaguar had more pure skill, but Hiko wanted to win more. Hiko was put on to a worse team
WSOP MAIN the one of the hardest? Not sure if Kappa or not?
Hey Thorin. What is your opinion of MLG Columbus? Do you think there will be another North American major and if so where do you think it should be held.
Thoorin, will you talk about how TSM is doing so damn well in LOL? XD
man I miss shaGuar he was a champion.
You really should have put a warning that the "final reality" movie has "Wake Me Up" song in it lmfao I died
i renamed my M4A4 Griffin to - M4A4 - shaGuar - i honour of my hero
This was my generation
Any plan to do one of these for Matt 'bl00dsh0t' Stevenson? I always considered him to be one of the best I had played with and against.
NoA ShaGuar
Ok, Thorin m8 why do u always have cold ?????? take some vitamin C
at first I thought he was saying "Professional Poke(mon)Player"...
At first I thought you said he was a professional "poké player" who plays Pokémon GO professionally
Where is the more completed version of FInal Reality 2 :
keep up the good work.
When I saw his face I knew it was the what up now swedes guy. I hope if he wins a poker event against a swedish pro poker player he does that again for us :^)
if shaguar came back to cs:go.. he would prob grind his way to be the best AWP player in the world. kenny and shaguar.. omg
Lmao when Alternate won the Rolex watches it got stolen from Chef-Koch shortly after :D
Such a sick video
Can you do a video on how different the play styles of European and American teams?
EU: Get frags.
NA: Don't get frags.
nope
+Poodgie ohhhhhhh
Yep
@poodgie you meant
NA: Get frags
EU: How to smoke, flash and win.
Hey Thooorin ! I'm really enjoying every single video,which makes my day and i would like to thank you for =)I have a video suggestion,could you make a video "Who is Potti ?" in my opinion this would be amazing,becouse you said that top 3 cs 1.6 players are Forest,Neo and Potti so it would be fare that all of theese players have their own video about them :) Like if you agree !
I honestly thought he was saying a a world class poké player. I thought he was somehow in some multi million dollar pokemon tournament haha.
I just realized in all these videos you've been saying WEG. I thought it was "Wake"
Reflections w/ Shaguar
Can you do a Who is walle segment?

uploads frequently, he is an e-sports historian
He uploaded over 400 pieces of content last year alone so he is a hustler.
Theres a lot of them made take a look at the playlists
Thanks for the responses
Do a video on bl00dshot/Stevenson in the future!
do you think he will ever start his own eSports org?
just a quick question guys, where are LOL videos, did I miss something?
Cs stuff going on right now league should be back soon
Bootcamping in Brazil was a thing back in the day, or was just this isolated case?
