ps. i recorded this video before the major started a day before the nivera return to cs announcement, just had a production delay. congrats to b1t top rookie for another major!!
How’s Kanye’s meet taste ? Just wondering since it’s probably all the way in your throat since you tried acting like him and just looked like an annoying goof lmao 😂 can’t even come up with your own ideas anymore .
b1t - favorite rookie. humble workhorse, disciplined, everything by the book, just a very reliable piece since day 1 pretty much. also winning 2 majors adds up to it.
Jimmy is a different type of rookie. He doesn't feel like a rookie with his playstyle, he is incredibly smart and plays like he was years and years of experience in tier 1.
dupreeh at preasy is my favourite rookie, he is so young and showed a great amount of skill. Hopefully his move to falcons will get him his first major early in his career
@@TheEsotericProgrammer zywoos more disciplined and is always good for 2 kills each round, he's obviously got insane highlights but monesy's playstyle and flicky aim results in better clips imo
I still remember m0nesy's iconic Katowice debut on the stage. People couldnt believe their minds seeing this 16 y.o. destroy VP and Navi. I still rewatch those matches sometimes
Broky is def my favorite rookie because of how quickly and impressively he found top tier form and from such a young age FaZe really found a gem in Latvia
For me b1t is THE R.O.A.T. I remember example on Edward position, on short Mirage. Valerchik knew perfect by pixel spot where he can hide behind pillar to not be seen from 3 positions at once. He even was preferencing m4a4, because m4a1S is long af and enemy can see it from distance. It was an example on down site Nuke with Hunter on this major. He was spotted because of m4a1S long barrel and this costs G2 a round. For past 2-3 years b1t and ropz are my favorite players because of they raw mechanic skills and big brain management, and I hope to see more maps from b1t like this final inferno. If ropz and b1t win more majors, I hope they will get an MVP🤞🤞
broky is for sure my favorite rookie. he went from a supportive rifler to a superstar AWPer on FaZe in a year. Also, he's the only rookie to ever actually play long-term for FaZe, THE super team org. In a team full of veterans, he's never been less reliable in any way. As you said, you didn't really count him as a rookie after a few months.
academy league has been enjoyable to watch. the teams, the strats they used, the kind unconventional playstyle and last but not least, the production was so wyld, the cinematics alone would make weplay a potential major TO and they would slap it. imagine the talent behind WPAL with valve funds
Such a banger vid. I think nertz is like broky in that he felt like a guy who we stopped calling a rookie in months and at the end of the year people literally forgot he was a rookie with all his great performances
The amount of "how to cs" video's are everywhere and the game is less underground as it was, i think the young minds benefit from this. This shows how great our favorite game really is. Next generations Will hopefully keep it alive for me to watch it in a retirementhome
He hasnt tweeted anything since announcing it in March, but Nivera did say hes coming back to CS as a free agent so I guess hes just looking for a home.
h0bbit joining gambit in 2016 after he'd been bought from Tengri. the guy was playing in Ekibastuz of all places. A small town in Kazakhstan and he went on to win the 2017 majror inkrakow. I can't say that he was in his teens, but he definitely was a rookie.
As someone not a fan of j9, glad to see he got heat from the pro's. Damn your ad for acezone just showed me how cheap it is for the price tag they give it.
watching NA 10 mans back in 14/15 and 16 to some extent was fun. These matches produced some of the absolute CLASSICS of CSGO such as "FGB whats your name" or "HE'S A MANAGERR" with the likes of "glawwwwks". Very vintage and refined CS moments tbh
Nivera said last month that he is hopping to come back to CS2. I agree with you, he was a huge loss, hopefully he comes back and joins another super rookie Espiranto and make a rookie team to win rookie tournaments
I know this video is old, but wasn't Coldzera a rookie as well when he joined LG? If he was, then he is my pick. But I'm not sure if he played before that
Honda best rookie ever. Started his career with a pistol ace against g2 Got a deag ace in the middlenof his career (7 rounds later) And ended his career washed out (2 maps later)
b1t is my favourite rookie. Love what donk and monesy are doing right now. Also I love that wonderful got the chance to shine as well. I saw great potential in him back when he was on Team Spirit.
I was getting HOT when the video kept progressing and b1t wasn't even mentioned yet lmao. Yes, Na'Vi it's in my heart (and on my skin actually), and he made me fall in love with the game even more, my Argentinian countrymen were the first ones to have that effect on me back in 2016 (IESF), then Na'Vi with s1mple, then B1t becoming such an unstoppable force so quickly. Also seeing him as the last piece of Na'Vi from the last Major and knowing how much of a sweet soul he is, it felt very endearing to see him reach that glory spot again, and which such a statement perfomance in the Final, he quickly tapped into his ultra instinct rookie form and made everyone take a knee.
Amazing video, Was really interesting. My rookie of the year will go to Donk if he wins a couple more silverware and has those insane stats continuing.
Sergej has to be my favorite rookie, 17 years old in a major final and 13th best player in the world in his first year on the top. Sadly we won't see him compete anymore.
Reminder that Ocean is the most culturally significant rank S / faceit player of all time. You can go check but he literally played in every single CS:GO PUG that was streamed on twitch.
b1t is a great pick for best rookie of all time. The only player so far to win a major in both CSGO and CS2. When b1t first came into the lineup I remember he was playing instead of flamie on a couple of maps, he didn't look too convincing back then. I remember him mostly just standing in pit on Inferno and dying to a swing. When he got on the roster full time however, he started a meteoric rise, winning trophy after trophy that culminated in Navi's major victory. He had literally the highest headshot percentage out of the entire tier 1 scene that year. His rookie year. Ice cold machine of a player.
Siuhy is my hipster pick. With all the spotlight on mechanically gifted and extremely high game aware individuals, I think it's easy to miss that he's been having success as a rookie IGL. And I don't really have anyone else in mind that really did that so fast in modern times.
Oh man, youre killing it with this content! You should do a video about amazing players and their fall from Grace, maybe Even throw some shade to those who moved to valorant. Would be Nice!
Might be a stretch to call him a rookie but freakazoid coming onto the scene and bringing NA to the top for the first time was beautiful to see. We Hawt
My 2 favourite Rookies are m0nesy and Donk. Im a full m0nesy Fan, got him as my Steam profile ouc since early 2022 but Donk is also just insanely craazy. He is also feeling the Game like its his real reality if you know what i mean. Niko is just living a normal life and gets a little bit out of cs but Donk is just playing all day and feeling it
I think not mentioning Brollan is criminal, the fact that he's been playing for so long yet he's only 21 is insane. I know he has always been pretty inconsistent (even though it seems like he's getting more consistent now with mouz) but I think he deserves to be mentioned still
Video idea: talkinh about the danish scene after the astralis era ended, with device leaving and new teams with solid talent coming forth ti fill out that spot, and how it these projects have suceeded and failed?
ps. i recorded this video before the major started a day before the nivera return to cs announcement, just had a production delay. congrats to b1t top rookie for another major!!
Nooooooo! Keep hating pls 😢
You’re the guy with the terrible pgl ad thinking you’re Kanye 😂 gtfo here

the next dupreeh
In 2 completely different lineups + Language switch.
nobody asked but i saw b1t's first rounds ever on navy when i think elec or perfecto got internet dc'ed on overpass :D
@@starosta975 that was headtrick i think, no?
Most deserving navi academy guy, humble,absolute madlad, won 2 majors thru sheer work,w a v bright future ahead of him.
Jimmy is a different type of rookie. He doesn't feel like a rookie with his playstyle, he is incredibly smart and plays like he was years and years of experience in tier 1.
jimi*
ikr hes freaken smart 17 yo and he's a future champ
@@robqqq Crispy Jimmy*
yimmy
His brother was Sergej so thats why hes legit
i hate to admit it but its nice to not be a hater for once
booooooo
Take that back
Pulling J.cole with this one
Racist counter strike stopped working so now you gotta lean into being a nice guy because your NIP take turned out so well
Nah you’re a hater of admission
god those early NA 10 mans and rank S streams was literally the best content CS ever got
yep...
The cultural impact NA Rank S had on CS is insane
we loooooseeeeee
TOOOOOO GLOOOOOOCCCKKKSSSSSS
How is stewie..... NOT BLIND!?!?!??!
no matter what happens to these rookies im just glad we're past the recycling phase. shoutout ence and mouz
dupreeh at preasy is my favourite rookie, he is so young and showed a great amount of skill. Hopefully his move to falcons will get him his first major early in his career
dupreeh is a rookie? Am i missing something? When I played CS dupreeh was on Astralis & one of the best players/rifles in a line up?
@@LocalGrubAuyou are missing something. He’s being sarcastic :)
@@navnoot But the video never said dupreeh is a rookie either?
@@LocalGrubAu cant tell if you are this dense or not
the best rookie is MAJ3R, amazing run at the major for such a young talent, he's only 33 and was the highest rated player for EF during playoffs!
AHAHAHA
babe wake tf up, Lau just dropped a 20min banger
fame has to be my favorite rookie, straight from being a pugstar to being one of Jame's soldiers is an underrated turnaround
monesy is probably my fave rookie. bro got on the team and was straight rawdogging people, man is cracked out of his mind
how can a russian be your favourite?
@@mrnopa3181 why cant it be
faxs he's got the best highlights and is just entertaining to watch
@@tonyt5711 best highlights? Recency bias for real Zywoo did unspeakable things
@@TheEsotericProgrammer zywoos more disciplined and is always good for 2 kills each round, he's obviously got insane highlights but monesy's playstyle and flicky aim results in better clips imo
Donk greatest rookie to ever touch cs.
Launders casually having the best cs content run on UA-cam right now

Damn reading this I remember NAVI playing Overpass with flamie and Inferno with b1t in the online era. I'm so happy for him winning his 2nd major
sergej 2018-19 was magical
I'm sad we never got to see Jimpphat, AleksiB and Sergej in same team. Could have been insane
broky is for sure my favorite rookie. he went from a supportive rifler to a superstar AWPer on FaZe in a year. Also, he's the only rookie to ever actually play long-term for FaZe, THE super team org. In a team full of veterans, he's never been less reliable in any way. As you said, you didn't really count him as a rookie after a few months.
Niko on mouz was my favorite rookie...and the first player I watched every game of I could.
academy league has been enjoyable to watch.
the teams, the strats they used, the kind unconventional playstyle
and last but not least, the production was so wyld, the cinematics alone would make weplay a potential major TO and they would slap it.

Don't you dare to speak ill of my boy jimbo!
the dan m clip. what a classic. crisp clean lock
On the gear, doesn't get more bullshit than this
Such a banger vid. I think nertz is like broky in that he felt like a guy who we stopped calling a rookie in months and at the end of the year people literally forgot he was a rookie with all his great performances
"he felt like a guy"
Thats his name haha

Next generations Will hopefully keep it alive for me to watch it in a retirementhome
one thing, that a lot of rookies comes from ru-speaking teams. it shows how incredibly strong this region is and probably, there is a lot more to come
frozen was god of our cz/sk csgo scene at 13years but he couldnt play lan bcs of age gap
One day we'll get a major
Monesy is my favorite rookie due to his personality
NA rookies/talents back in the day getting called "onliners" in rank S was peak counter strike
1:54 ocean's most impactful clip of all time
Laundry looks like he is about to cook me the most overpriced burger ever
tf... it would be delicious
@@launders drop the recipe mafriend
The rookie of all time is clear now 😂
My favorite is Donk just for the fact that he kept screaming on lan and people had to tell him to settle down.
He just sounds like something you could find in a sewer, that's why it is hard to tolerate the yelling. The sound is horrible.
@@Giggelitesille I love the post matches where some of these players who spend all their non cs time in the gym and then donk is just this 80lb child.
He hasnt tweeted anything since announcing it in March, but Nivera did say hes coming back to CS as a free agent so I guess hes just looking for a home.
oh man i miss the Dan M brainrot videos
only one rookie had science community name a law after him: Bogdan. i rest my case
I love these essays Launders.
❤️
0:29 you are speaking about fifflaren and you have picture of heaton😁
NA 10 mans were peak CS content from me. ShahZam's laugh, DaZeD yelling GLOCKS, MANNyGER, COACH
Cant believe Based Launders didnt talk about the first iteration of Mouz NXT
h0bbit joining gambit in 2016 after he'd been bought from Tengri. the guy was playing in Ekibastuz of all places. A small town in Kazakhstan and he went on to win the 2017 majror inkrakow. I can't say that he was in his teens, but he definitely was a rookie.
Well now we know who the rookie of all time is haha
As someone not a fan of j9, glad to see he got heat from the pro's. Damn your ad for acezone just showed me how cheap it is for the price tag they give it.
got me at "The Kjaerbye" 😭😭
the best CS youtuber and you’re the reason why I wanna study journalism and start talking CS!!
I always have a soft spot for 26 year old rookie oskar on hellraisers and mouz
Love the clip introducing Ocean “They flashed A”.
Nertz the 35 year old rookie goat
that Zywoo baby is pure nightmare fuel

b1t was my favorite rookie story of all time. that run was/is so unbelievable
Favourite rookie has to be fame. He just fit into the major run so well.
Who remembers when Launders made demo videos? Miss those days...
Nivera
This video is a gem, thank you so much launders! :D
this launders guy is great. no one makes cs2 content as good as my goat laundy
The production value is off the charts.
need that hasbullah pic with the deagle blaze ASAP!!!!!!

everyone forgot about Hades when he hold ence as a stadin. He had a lot of presure and he delivered hard. But yeah zywoo and m0nesy takes the cake
nivera is coming back can't wait to see him play
Personally Launders, I think JBa on Wildcard is the voice from the outer world, and he will lead us to paradise.
seeing as you’re loveposting today i’ll chime in and say GREAT EDITING VIVID 💕
Your content is so good, I started playing CS in July last year I can’t believe I missed out on so much
