I started enjoying dazed's stream some weeks before the first reflections came out and that interview really connected me to the person and not only the streamer/player, hope this one is as good. Thanks for the great content as always thorin, big fan of you two
really is good to see dazed isn't too torn up about the ban and that he is still active in the scene as much as possible he really is my favorite player n always will be (:
yeah... well it's a videopodcast.... i'm just sad and nostalgic man, i'm missing these days.. back then when i used to listen to audiocasts which i downloaded from itunes. :I i mean i could rip thorins videos and remove the video track yeah... well whatever have a nice day
While I think they fucked up alot, and they deserve a ban, it should have been 6 months to 1 year, and then maybe donate money to charity or something for the rest
The fact he looks like he's getting his heart torn out when they talk around the scandal shows how much he regrets it.. Watch him, he starts avoiding eye contact, becomes visibly nervous, and his facial expressions become extremely awkward... I honestly just feel bad for him at this point... One stupid mistake really can fuck everything up, my mom was right...
I'm not saying he wants to come back or would be better off if he did, I'm saying it's very obvious he's remorseful, he is very obviously distressed...
Team iBUYPOWER was banned on 1/26/2015 .....but as i see here, the HLTV article was posted at 23:14 by stich.... 23:14 ......3:14 ............3:1 ................31 .....................3 1 .........................3-1 The Warriors blew a 3-1 lead.
Dazed said something that has been proven in the workforce for centuries. Attitude is 80% and the rest makes the rest of the 20%. You can teach someone the technical components and mechanics but you can't change their personality unless you put them through some extreme circumstance or trauma.
Hi Thorin, I would like you to dedicate an episode to discuss with somebody insightful about the subject Dazed touched upon in this video regarding 1:05:30 regarding the myth if age really matters. This would make me as a 20 year old with a huge ambition of becomming a better player should feel restricted or not. Your kind viewer, MiZen
28:00 the term used in psychology is "mirror imaging" where you expect people to analyze situations with the same depth and mindset as yourself. good vid :)
Reflections with steel= WHY ARE YOU ASKING QUESTIONS Thorin: it's my job Steel: FUCK YOUR JOB FUCK YOUR LIFE Thorin: Calm down Steel: DONT TELL ME TO CALM DOWN
Not really Dazed, here in EU depending on which server you get, ping can range from 5-80 here as well. It depends alot on where u live and where the server is hosted.
35:05 that is EXACTLY what happened to DaZeD in iBP xd got a fuck ton of top1's in liquidpedia....actually they're 99% from n.a u.s only lans , and then they went out in group stages 4 out of 4 times, got 16-3'd by VP.
at 1:06:23, the point dazed was making has some valid reasoning to it. With the way the brain develops, these guys were talented players in the pro scene for 10+ years. Of course they would be able to multi-task and react to certain ques in a way that other players haven't developed yet. Besides n0thing, i cant recall any players that have been in the pro scene for a long time, im probably wrong tho but you get my point. I dont believe cs is a game where you start declining the older you get, smarts and instinct play stronger parts than milisecond reactions, which i dont even thing decline that much in players that maintain it.
As someone who played 1.6 from 2003 to 2011 and just started playing GO a few months ago, I'm shocked to hear that people don't know that CS on LAN and online is massively different. I coach a team and tell them all the time that the reason Swedes and Euros are so good are because they play with LAN ping at home. I thought people knew this.
I disagree with fans not trying to unravel the psychology / taking them at face value. Maybe in the past but not anymore.. It is one reason we watch your vids and your counterparts as well. Nice video :>)yo
If IBP did the same thing today, I would say they shouldn't be unbanned, but since when they did it you couldn't re-sell your skins on sites like op skins. So technically they weren't getting any "real" money just cool skins that at the time they didn't know they would be able to sell for money
Bring back DaZeD. Shame for the NA-scene, that he can't be part of it. Great player, great mind. Unban this guy!
#FreeSwagDaZeDSteel
no azk?
Vineeth Gopu He's been really silent, but I guess him too.
Steel is an overwatch player but he will never give up on this community unbanning him
Frederik Krüger he said himself he enjoys streaming more and the pro-scene is mor intense, also he earns more money for streaming
"Sam "DaZeD" Marine, legendary former IGL of iBUYPOWER"
LEGENDARY!!!!
Ive never seen thorin defending an NA team before
+1
What about the s1mple team liquid?
Coodles Parks that was just s1mple and his underlings
he wasn't defending liquid. he constantly said that s1mple hardcarried them and without him they would be a lot worse.
+Flo1093 which is true, s1mple DID hard carry them and without him they probably wouldn't have even made the playoffs.

Reflections with Pronax! (2nd Appearance)
i second this one.
thatguy11m yeah the first one was so bad
lol
Awesome to see sam back. I would love to see him as a guest for the counter-points directly before the eleague major.
I enjoy your talks with Dazed, they usually entail some good banter and interesting views on the subject they are talking about.
Thorin and Dazed, two of my favourite people!
(just remember I got top comment when I wrote that last time)
Remember the old Dazed from the first reflections with him? He looks so different now.
The scandal added years
It's so cute to see Thorin so friendly and human for once~
I just think it's weird to see him respect someone...
***** I was talking about Thorin's blatant disrespect to almost everyone, not whether or not DaZeD deserved it.
crypto yeah and dazed too
LITERALLY came when I saw this on reddit. I watched the first one like 10x
does thorin have a podcast?
CHAIN This is his podcast
yeah... well
it's a videopodcast....
i'm just sad and nostalgic man, i'm missing these days.. back then when i used to listen to audiocasts which i downloaded from itunes. :I
i mean i could rip thorins videos and remove the video track yeah... well whatever have a nice day
nice little series you got there man
Absoloutly 10/10. Great guy, interesting points, well worth the time to watch.
If DaZeD didnt get banned NA CS would be so much better
TheShook One especially swag
While I think they fucked up alot, and they deserve a ban, it should have been 6 months to 1 year, and then maybe donate money to charity or something for the rest
josh hamilton true not a permanent ban that's honestly ridiculous
***** don't act like they didn't do anything wrong
josh hamilton ya but was proportion to his ban
YESS! Thank you, my two favorite personalities in CS again!
Thorin, I'm new to the CS culture. My brother and I saw you at ESL NY and had an amazing time. Thanks for doing what you do.
Love the recent reflections episodes; even the sOAZ one but having never watched LoL in my life. Keep up all the great content.
26:45 (just marking where i left off since youtube doesnt always do it)
FisuKala dazed dies
Glenn dies
fucking spoilers
What I like to do is make a playlist and make the title of the playlist the time at which I stopped watching the video.
***** i was on phone :/
man i love the content lately thoorin!!! :)
haven't watched his recent videos. do i need to catch up to them?
+CHAIN yes
daddy duncan treating me so well with this recent wave of content
The fact he looks like he's getting his heart torn out when they talk around the scandal shows how much he regrets it..

Jonathan Naranjo Did you ever watch dazed gets triggered or whatever?
www.change.org/p/the-counter-strike-community-valve-needs-to-unban-the-ibp-players-its-a-waste-of-exceptional-talent?recruiter=695917019&
Thank you for adding a time line
YESSSS IVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS
Oh what!? I was revisiting the first Dazed Reflections earlier and now the sequel! Awesome
thanks Thooorin for taking the time to interview dazed!
we should make like a petition for this man to get unbanned.. something to help because it's sad that it's just wasted talent :(
there was a few of them at different times
If only Valve gave a shit.
dazed way more of an important play than swag for na
Cadmus Stories
currently yes, but swag was a prodigy
They should get unbanned, but "wasted talent" is not the reason why.
I said to myself literally this morning after the latest Reflections episode DaZeD pt 2 would be sick; it's lit boys
please make this a podcast or audio only format. i dont want to be streaming over an hour of video on youtube when im out
ok he wants add rev. :/ just download it. That way he gets the add money xD he deserves it
adblock?
NA would be so much better with IBP
sepehr rashighi you mean EG
the1badgamer eg dota team better at cs than most na cs teams
NBA3245890 I don't follow the dota scene but it is because dazed ska hiko ect was gona make a NA super team that's why I said EG
honestly if ex-ibp gets unbanned na will have hope once again solely bcuz of swag, fkn god tier even now
swag and dazed are fucking god tier sad to see the lifetime bans
man ive been wanting that one for so long
love this guy so much.
+Thooorin with the steady stream of quality content recently.
OH YES, IM READY FOR THIS ONE
Team iBUYPOWER was banned on 1/26/2015
.....but as i see here, the HLTV article was posted at 23:14 by stich....
23:14
......3:14
............3:1
................31
.....................3 1
.........................3-1
The Warriors blew a 3-1 lead.
lmaoo
i really like these
yey
Dazed said something that has been proven in the workforce for centuries. Attitude is 80% and the rest makes the rest of the 20%.
You can teach someone the technical components and mechanics but you can't change their personality unless you put them through some extreme circumstance or trauma.
what am i supposed to do
am loaf GLAWKS
supposed to watch the video, brudda.
SO EMO
+tobi97dk WHAT MORE CAN I DO
am loaf LIKE WHAT AM I SUPPOSED TO DO ! HE'S A MANAGER MAN ! GOD THIS IS SO FUCKING EMO DUDE.
Great interview and insights.
Dazed is amazing MOAR
This feels like a medicine after bingestudying for tomorrows exams. I even finished the first reflections with dazed too 5 minutes ago lmao
Great reflections session ty
I love thorin and I love dazed. I'm in for a treat today.
someone make a sound clip of the "This was realllllll". god damn good stuff Thorin.
would like to see you interview a VP member. maybe snax/neo or pascha
I like DaZeD. I wish Valve would unban him.
Hey Thooorin can you do an interview with Swag?
he probably wouldn't agree to it
Thorin, is there any way you can turn these into podcasts? A majority of this is talking and it would be perfect to listen to on the go.
Elvis Maduro type "youtube mp3" on google, and you'll probably find a website to turn youtube videos in mp3 format
CSGOSwiftclaw I know how to do that. I was giving it as a suggestion to Thorin because it could be an additional income stream for him
He said awhile ago he doesn't know how to monetize podcasts.
Less views tho. Unless he charges like a buck on amazon
use youtubeinmp4.com you can download an mp3 of any youtube video on that site
Daddy dazed and thorin this is just what u wanna see boys......
Thorin talks about C9's strat being exactly/influenced liked Dazed's at 29:00.
C9 won a Best of 3 against Fnatic as well. It was a quarter or semi I think. This was back when Fnatic was dank.
Lumpy Seal c9 still a joke
Lumpy Seal if you would have waited 1 or 2 minutes you would have heard thorin saying exactly this...
wow ive been waiting for this
Dazed is such a god. He predicted Gambit winning major and here it's very obvious he thought brehze is gonna be top NA player
Hi Thorin, I would like you to dedicate an episode to discuss with somebody insightful about the subject Dazed touched upon in this video regarding 1:05:30 regarding the myth if age really matters. This would make me as a 20 year old with a huge ambition of becomming a better player should feel restricted or not.
Your kind viewer,
MiZen
Enjoyed watching!
@Thooorin maybe link dazed's stream in the description? i feel like you talked about it that you might as well...
"recorded on the 24thd" love it Thooorin
Duncan, any chance of Dazed being a Counter-Points guest in the future?
2:37 NO, WHY SKYPE SOUND I HAD TO TAB OUT TO CHECK
Damn what a fucking treat. Christmas is supposed to be like 2 months away.
This gon' be good!
Dazed and Thoorin in the same video? Instant like.
Long time coming :)
28:00 the term used in psychology is "mirror imaging" where you expect people to analyze situations with the same depth and mindset as yourself. good vid :)
Is he a manager?
Commentator, actually.
Uke Nukem Gaming Either I failed to make the joke our you didn't understand it.
TapfererToast A MANAGER
***** haha oh i get it now, yeah that was kinda poorly done but I feel dumb now xD
Kumiko You're the man! :D
lets count how many times dazed interrupts thorin lmao
Ace Brometheus like 5 times, he's only toxic when he's mad
thorin the interviewer is meant to let dazed the interviewee talk.
thats how interviews work, this wasnt a discussion.
A DREAM COME TRUE
Reflections with steel= WHY ARE YOU ASKING QUESTIONS
Thorin: it's my job
Steel: FUCK YOUR JOB FUCK YOUR LIFE
Thorin: Calm down
Steel: DONT TELL ME TO CALM DOWN
only 1 and half hours ? cmon :(
This interview was recorded on the 24thd of October.
you cant even bet anymore why are they still banned.
Great stuff! Start a kickstarter/patreon for a biweekly/montly/LanEvently show between you two!
2 minutes in and already getting good nice
but is Dazed still deathmatching to keep that crisp aim?
If you're here from the Thorin-Steel video, it starts at 29:00
Not really Dazed, here in EU depending on which server you get, ping can range from 5-80 here as well.
It depends alot on where u live and where the server is hosted.
35:05 that is EXACTLY what happened to DaZeD in iBP xd got a fuck ton of top1's in liquidpedia....actually they're 99% from n.a u.s only lans , and then they went out in group stages 4 out of 4 times, got 16-3'd by VP.
Would spunj do a reflections?
Got an exam tommorow at 9, Thoorin uploads reflections with DazeD. well, fuck
oooww fuck man. good luck.
go to sleep, don't make these stupid mistakes which i've been doing over the past 4 years.
Good luck on the exam man
Why is that white box there :(
at 1:06:23, the point dazed was making has some valid reasoning to it. With the way the brain develops, these guys were talented players in the pro scene for 10+ years. Of course they would be able to multi-task and react to certain ques in a way that other players haven't developed yet.

I dont believe cs is a game where you start declining the older you get, smarts and instinct play stronger parts than milisecond reactions, which i dont even thing decline that much in players that maintain it.
sick or twist are the new super stars.. if they can get a better awper on that team and replace fns, they'll be a very good team IMO
15:50 "i play for mousesports it is basically just Niko" XD
Finally!
I fucking love DaZeD.
As someone who played 1.6 from 2003 to 2011 and just started playing GO a few months ago, I'm shocked to hear that people don't know that CS on LAN and online is massively different. I coach a team and tell them all the time that the reason Swedes and Euros are so good are because they play with LAN ping at home. I thought people knew this.
Well that's bullshit, maybe that's why most people don't "know" it.
niiiiiice stuff!
I disagree with fans not trying to unravel the psychology / taking them at face value. Maybe in the past but not anymore.. It is one reason we watch your vids and your counterparts as well. Nice video :>)yo
you should do an updated dream NA and EU team
Joshua Chin well the NA dream would be liquid back with s1mplr tbh.
Luis Garcia There's a few players that can replace some people on liquid to become a dream na team
Nah like a full NA team w/o foreign pickups
*rubs hands with excitement*
If IBP did the same thing today, I would say they shouldn't be unbanned, but since when they did it you couldn't re-sell your skins on sites like op skins. So technically they weren't getting any "real" money just cool skins that at the time they didn't know they would be able to sell for money
Would be cool with a Refelections with Reinforced from Rogue. So we can get to the bottom of this drink story :D
Dazed still gets a lot of shit, but I love him
"was recorded on the 24thd of October"
i think dazed should play pro mod on mwr if it gets remade
LOL the e-mail banter though was great xD
YES YES
Daddy D is back bois!!!!
mr t and daddy d lol
love u dazed
And then they won an ESL Pro League. With Stewie2k strats.
