Valve nerfed the awp so many times because kennyS literally broke the game using it. They nerfed movement speed, scoped movement speed, reload time, firing time, and lastly, from 10 bullets to 5.
s1mple was the reason for the awp bullet nerf, he had an insane 1v5 clutch on overpass and really showed everyone that 10 bullets really was too much lol. I think it was against NIP, insane clutch
bro you have been cooking lately also 3:00 incase nobody else has explained it, you probably already know it from COD but just incase, CS:GO, like most games, ran on a tick system Some matchmaking hosters and tournements were die-hard 128 tick lovers All of matchmaking was played on 64 tick GOTV saved demos at 32 tick Modern Warfare multiplayer is on 22 tick if I'm not mistaken When replaying, the lower the tickrate, the worse the gun firing and the flick sometimes don't line up
s1mple was considered the GOAT even before he won a major. He played on some DOGSHIT teams and the 2 best teams he played on in 2020 and 2021 got disrupted by world-changing events (COVID getting rid of majors/LAN tourneys in 2020 and the war in ukraine in early 2022). Some people claim zywoo has passed him but if you watched s1mple's whole career you know he's the greatest
The s1mple highlights video is old, it came out before he was even in his prime so there are plenty of insane clips of him that you didn't see yet. "Never forget about prime s1mple" is new and better video but its kinda long and it might have alot of clips from the vid you watched already
Also the kennyS video is edited and cut in such a way that many of the shots look way more impressive and impossible than they were in reality. Dont get me wrong he was a highlight machine but that video was pretty unrealistic. Well made tho
@ please don’t make like he ain’t destroying every teams since 5 years. Yes he won that major against top 20teams (who destroyed the biggest teams before at the event) and yes he is maybe less spectacular than monesy and donk cause he is playing a safer cs. You can’t think by yourself, in fact you made your whole cs opinions reading delusional tweets from racist crying bitches that can’t stand to see that a French player can be the Best player in their favorite video game. You just a hater, zywoo a goat and you can’t deny it.
The kill at 7:05 requires some explaining, since it's actually not that 'crazy' of a play where he couldn't see the enemy at all. kennyS used to be one of the only players who exclusively play with left-handed viewmodels. Streams (like the origin of the clip) are exclusively right-handed, meaning that spectators could not see the enemy, whereas kennyS could clearly see the enemy since his gun did not block his view. To get that noscope is still crazy though.
Man youre in for a lot of great players and legendary moments.. i think its also great that you focus on playing the game more first before watching clips so as to appreciate the aim, speed, precision, game sense and other nuances included for these amazing plays to be goated.
bro you such a real one for reacting to it and being receptive as a cod player, i play cs since 2009 and cod players were mostly assholes always. mad respect
7:10 the last guy is covered by the gunmodel so YOU cant see him, but kenny used to play lefthanded gunmodels so on his screen the gun woud be on the left so he coud see him
I hope bro goes down the rabbit hole and tries to get actually good at cs. It’s the most rewarding feeling putting in mad hours and seeing improvement month to month
Also regarding the goat discussion. Theres 4 (arguably 6 players in contention for the current goat status) ordered by how much support they have -S1mple, awper, probably in his peak the best player to ever touch the game, most common pick for 'goat' status -Zywoo, awper, came up a lot later then s1mple breaking in to Tier 1 in 2019, incredibly talented and got player of the year one year however because of the online era due to covid he hasn't had as many opportunities since. Given a few years he could overtake s1mple in the discussion -NiKo, Rifler, arguably the best rifler to ever touch the game, gets given a lot of credit because rifling is considered a lot harder than awping -Device, Awper, while not a super highly rated player he has won 4 majors and got a lot of MVPs, less flashy but he was a key piece to the best team in cs history -Get_Right gets a lot of credit for how good he was early on in 2013 however later on couldn't preform and now streams instead -Donk, new kid on the block, this year was his first year in Tier 1 and he broke about 10 long standing records (highest debut T1 lan rating, Tied Highest T1 lan rating ever, youngest major winner, youngest major mvp, most aces in a major) all while rifling. A lot of people believe he will come for that top spot soon as he is still a rookie but already the best player in the world at the moment. If you want to watch a rifler absolutely demolish I'd watch some donk/niko highlights, in their peak they were so insanely talented and both were just something else
it's nice to see players of different communities experiencing new things for the first time. I used to play cod when I was younger (cod 4 and mw2 were my favorites), but I think I stopped playing after BO2 or Ghosts. NBK was a French player whose best years were from late cs source to mid csgo. He was a very good player, but not a superstar player. 3x he was voted as a "top 20" player from 2013-2015, being #5, #17, and #9. He won 2 majors (these are the most prestigious events). But, because cs is a team game, there are often certain roles that certain players fill, though it is not a necessity to have specific roles for players. NBK was a "role player" 90% of the time, but he was very good at what he did, hence why he was rated so highly 3 times. IMO he was one of the most consistent French riflers, but in csgo, AWPers were most often the star players. in cs2, the best players are mostly playing a hybrid of using the AWP, but also using rifles a lot more. many viewers have mentioned "donk", who is likely the #1 player in cs this year. he is a rifler, and he is a very special player because he does not often use the AWP. he is now the youngest major champion, major mvp, and has broken so many records from csgo/cs2 in just his first year. donk is only 17yo. my steam account is older than him.
One of the more flashy shot was when kenny was in g2 and he flicks onto a T coming from apartments in inferno, sad it wasn't in the vid you reacted to.
14:30 just in case you dont know: there are graffities on certain maps for legendary plays. this is one of them. and the graffiti is hard af. there are highlight videos which show all graffiti plays in cs. hope valve brings them back for cs2.
The viewership on that clip doesn’t include every other language-speaking stream; Asian, Russian, Brazilian, Arabic and so on and so on, neither does it include big Twitch streamers streaming it themselves as a “viewing-party” with their fans.
2 fun pieces of context -Kennys was directly responsible for the first AWP nerf -The stockholm major (2021) reached a peak of 2.74 million total viewers
9:47 yes you can. You can even save it as a key bind by writing a simple command. Some players like to have as much visibility as possible so they bind the command to a key and on different angles on the maps they change the hands for the weapon so they can actually see the enemy and not luck it out like KennyS here 6:40
super cool to see your excitement about the game man. hopefully i can catch your next stream PS react to NiKo! you'd love the clips, usually you can find videos called "the deagle god" or along those lines
People who say donk, thats just recency bias. S1mple was lifting heavy when donk couldn't lift a mouse pre 50g. In csgo there is s1mple and there is zywoo. Noone else is considered the goat. the goat of CS overall, all iterations will be f0rest.
I think you would love watching NiKo Highlights Virrecs2 has a video on his entire career. hes the greatest rifler ever and a top 3 player ever IMO Or Scream as well
IMO some classic reaction content would be phoon & LOLYOU type videos in cs:source and cs:go; those are classic cs videos from when movement was more exploitable (& cooler?)
2 of the most important things when it comes to awping is movement and positioning. Being able to put yourself in a position where you can get a frag and then immediately move is extremely important. Awping against lower level players is extremely, extremely easy because newer players don't understand utility, positioning, how to peek or how to work as a team. Against the top players in the world, you aren't getting peeked by 1 person. There is AT LEAST 1 person ready to kill you the second you get 1 frag on awp. Most of the time you get peeked by 2 players in 2 locations and you have about a quarter of a secret before your head gets ripped off by an AK.
A great example of this is at 7:27. Kenny is holding Lane from site. He gets a frag, falls off the angle, getting an incendiary down to prevent a lane push, and he is able to reposition on site where he can dance around the boxes to make himself a harder target to hit. His opponents disrespect the incendiary but he hears them run through so he is immediately ready for that fight. He gets on top of the box to change his elevation, making a headshot harder due to an elevation change. He then drops, changing his head height again. Everything he does makes him hard to trade, and hard to predict.
You have to consider, not only that s1mple is superior with the AWP but he is also world class rifler . super versatile player witch is rare. and the game sence he has is on another level
If you want to put it this way, KennyS was the best until 2018, S1mple from 2018 until 2022 and m0nesy took over from 2022 until recent days. Donk is a rifler/entry not an AWPer
i don’t like watching drag movies bc the high contrast motion blur and effects make it harder to see how the shots looked in real time ngl, but yeah kennyS is a goat for sure
try next time - csgo guardian, he is old enemy of kennyS on AWP , this two are the best awpers who this game played. and he have too amazing skill videos, many fragmovies
Bro you have to understand there will never be someone like s1mple again. He is the peak of counterstrike. Most talented and hard working player ever Also the video you watched is not even his best Highlights. Watch some other videos he has soo much more and better clips than this
I cant wait till you get into all the lore stuff like "why u bully me", bogdans law, the olofboost etc. There probably is a compilation like "csgo historic moments" or sth if youre curious. Shoutout Kato 2014 for the one time, that's why I started playing 🥲
YALL WAS ASKIN LIKE CRAZY FOR THIS SO I GOT YALL, THIS WAS RIPPED FRM STREAM SO ANY QUESTIONS I ASKED IN THE VIDEO WERE ALREADY ANSWERED (BY YALL)
in 910 we trust
Valve nerfed the awp so many times because kennyS literally broke the game using it. They nerfed movement speed, scoped movement speed, reload time, firing time, and lastly, from 10 bullets to 5.
5 bullets wasn’t bc Kenny but still good update
the 10 to 5 bullet change was because of s1mple, Kenny by that point wasn't playing competitively anymore
@missia3741 awp was just busted with or without simple. i dislike cs2 a bit but the awp nerfs were very necessary
s1mple was the reason for the awp bullet nerf, he had an insane 1v5 clutch on overpass and really showed everyone that 10 bullets really was too much lol. I think it was against NIP, insane clutch
bro you have been cooking lately
also 3:00 incase nobody else has explained it, you probably already know it from COD
but just incase, CS:GO, like most games, ran on a tick system
Some matchmaking hosters and tournements were die-hard 128 tick lovers
All of matchmaking was played on 64 tick
GOTV saved demos at 32 tick
Modern Warfare multiplayer is on 22 tick if I'm not mistaken
When replaying, the lower the tickrate, the worse the gun firing and the flick sometimes don't line up
OMG CLICKyCrispp
goated cs editor
man you coming out of the woodworks, loved the newest vid lol.
thanks for info
fancy seeing you here
s1mple was considered the GOAT even before he won a major. He played on some DOGSHIT teams and the 2 best teams he played on in 2020 and 2021 got disrupted by world-changing events (COVID getting rid of majors/LAN tourneys in 2020 and the war in ukraine in early 2022). Some people claim zywoo has passed him but if you watched s1mple's whole career you know he's the greatest
u think donk has a chance to surpass him ?
zywoo seems to have an issue with performing consistently in his highest form.
current power rankings i got donk>monesy>zywoo
The s1mple highlights video is old, it came out before he was even in his prime so there are plenty of insane clips of him that you didn't see yet. "Never forget about prime s1mple" is new and better video but its kinda long and it might have alot of clips from the vid you watched already
Also the kennyS video is edited and cut in such a way that many of the shots look way more impressive and impossible than they were in reality. Dont get me wrong he was a highlight machine but that video was pretty unrealistic. Well made tho
you should react to donk and m0nesy next
Zywoo?
@@madfuturist9216 hell no
@lucasa_3101wym hell no? you guys can’t be objective and realistic at least one time?
@@madfuturist9216 zero cultural impact, ghost of major playoffs, if he isn’t playing against ITB or GL
@ please don’t make like he ain’t destroying every teams since 5 years. Yes he won that major against top 20teams (who destroyed the biggest teams before at the event) and yes he is maybe less spectacular than monesy and donk cause he is playing a safer cs.
You can’t think by yourself, in fact you made your whole cs opinions reading delusional tweets from racist crying bitches that can’t stand to see that a French player can be the Best player in their favorite video game. You just a hater, zywoo a goat and you can’t deny it.
It’s actually dope to see a cod fan appreciate the art that is Counter Strike
I have never seen anyone watching cs highlights with such dedication and raw emotion... I love watching you're reaction videos
The kill at 7:05 requires some explaining, since it's actually not that 'crazy' of a play where he couldn't see the enemy at all.

It's important to mention that fragmovies from events are made from the demos after game and you don't see the same things the players see.
bro you such a real one for reacting to it and being receptive as a cod player, i play cs since 2009 and cod players were mostly assholes always. mad respect
7:10 the last guy is covered by the gunmodel so YOU cant see him, but kenny used to play lefthanded gunmodels so on his screen the gun woud be on the left so he coud see him
I hope bro goes down the rabbit hole and tries to get actually good at cs. It’s the most rewarding feeling putting in mad hours and seeing improvement month to month

-NiKo, Rifler, arguably the best rifler to ever touch the game, gets given a lot of credit because rifling is considered a lot harder than awping
-Device, Awper, while not a super highly rated player he has won 4 majors and got a lot of MVPs, less flashy but he was a key piece to the best team in cs history
-Get_Right gets a lot of credit for how good he was early on in 2013 however later on couldn't preform and now streams instead
-Donk, new kid on the block, this year was his first year in Tier 1 and he broke about 10 long standing records (highest debut T1 lan rating, Tied Highest T1 lan rating ever, youngest major winner, youngest major mvp, most aces in a major) all while rifling. A lot of people believe he will come for that top spot soon as he is still a rookie but already the best player in the world at the moment.
If you want to watch a rifler absolutely demolish I'd watch some donk/niko highlights, in their peak they were so insanely talented and both were just something else
Watch cs2 rewind 2024 vro
20:07 u can throw your weapon as a fake flash, normally u’d use pistols because they are smaller but simple here was like f it we ball
it's nice to see players of different communities experiencing new things for the first time. I used to play cod when I was younger (cod 4 and mw2 were my favorites), but I think I stopped playing after BO2 or Ghosts.

yo I'm diggin the cs content I already subbed, keep it up bro 💪
i fw u bro keep grinding
Current concurrent viewer record for cs is something like 2.1m i think in 2022 for one of the majors
One of the more flashy shot was when kenny was in g2 and he flicks onto a T coming from apartments in inferno, sad it wasn't in the vid you reacted to.
14:35 viewership record is ~2.7 million at the 2021 stockholm major finals (NAVI vs G2)
14:30 just in case you dont know: there are graffities on certain maps for legendary plays. this is one of them. and the graffiti is hard af. there are highlight videos which show all graffiti plays in cs. hope valve brings them back for cs2.
S1mple GOAT

lmao i finna go watch ur stream bro

Wait till he sees how scream plays 😂
RUSH HIM HES JUST UWING AWP
the last guy with awp :
super cool to see your excitement about the game man. hopefully i can catch your next stream
PS react to NiKo! you'd love the clips, usually you can find videos called "the deagle god" or along those lines
People who say donk, thats just recency bias. S1mple was lifting heavy when donk couldn't lift a mouse pre 50g. In csgo there is s1mple and there is zywoo. Noone else is considered the goat. the goat of CS overall, all iterations will be f0rest.
I think you would love watching NiKo Highlights Virrecs2 has a video on his entire career. hes the greatest rifler ever and a top 3 player ever IMO
Or Scream as well
Scream 100% thats just entertainment
10 bullet nerf had absolutely nothing to do with Kenny, he was barely even considered a active pro-player when it happened.
csgo s1mple is the GOAT and arguably not just CS but in all of FPS gaming
KennyS cinema
For people who don't play cs you have no idea how mechanically hardcore this game is compared to other fps.
“he’s 14-0… am I reading this right? He’s 14-0” 😂
IMO some classic reaction content would be phoon & LOLYOU type videos in cs:source and cs:go; those are classic cs videos from when movement was more exploitable (& cooler?)
enjoying the pro play reactions so far tho 👍

not comparing m0nesy with simple but m0nesy is also a top awper with an exceptional rifle skills
@mrjam3ss of course . But he still is young player. And not on the level of s1mple yet in my opinion
🐐🐐's
Remember, you can't play this game without cheats.
Flusha game sense on top
If you want to put it this way, KennyS was the best until 2018, S1mple from 2018 until 2022 and m0nesy took over from 2022 until recent days.
Donk is a rifler/entry not an AWPer
Kennys was never the best player in the world not a single year. Were you even around back then?
Daaaayyyyuuuuum
kennyS was so good with the awp that they nerfed it multiple times because of his dominance
If you wanna watch another legends highlights, you should watch scream play. He's known for his 1 taps
i don’t like watching drag movies bc the high contrast motion blur and effects make it harder to see how the shots looked in real time ngl, but yeah kennyS is a goat for sure
You should watch shanghai major highlights
910 still the goat
Shroud “king of Reddit” clips next!
U need to watch Niko's highlights bro, best aimer that ever touched the game.
Wait until you see monesys clutches and highlights 😂
KennyS The AWP GOAT !
Now you need to watch some "Zywoo" clip ! :p
Donk has yet to prove himself. He mostly seems to be a good mechanical player. However, I've never seen anything like S1mple's gamesense.
Don't let bro watch Monesy, he will age 10 years 😆
try next time - csgo guardian, he is old enemy of kennyS on AWP , this two are the best awpers who this game played. and he have too amazing skill videos, many fragmovies
Dude. You gotta react to "Everyone hates Stewie" highly highly recommended
Niko highlights please! Much love brother
keep getting into cs you won't regret it
clueless
Bro you need to watch some Shroud highlights from CS and other FPS games. He's the FPS goat for sure
Look at zywoo highlights!
Zywhoo?
i told you bro about s1mple ;p
Would love for u to see a Shroud frag movie :)
you have to react to the biggest comeback ever in CS "COMEBACK OF THE YEAR!! - Vitality vs FaZe - HIGHLIGHTS - ESL Pro League | CSGO" by Vladopard
Bro you have to understand there will never be someone like s1mple again. He is the peak of counterstrike. Most talented and hard working player ever
Also the video you watched is not even his best Highlights. Watch some other videos he has soo much more and better clips than this
you looks like remsua on thumail
s1mple is undebatedly the GOAT of CS:GO, but he didn't like CS2 being so buggy and different in movement, so he stopped playing it and fell off.
now react to niko he might be the cleanest aim ever
Look up best pro movement in CS if you want to see the movement in the game it gets crazy
try NiKo highlights.. most gifted aimer ever to play csgo/cs2
26:24 his game sense is 3.09
400 dpi
This dude milking tf outta the cs community😂
peep some of my clips bro, lets play. ya cs shit has been great. i transfered to csgo from advanced warfare waaaay back.
uncs farmin it
Donk plz
Watch too much for z block
Bro this. ruclips.net/video/CQBM00aJ5rk/видео.htmlsi=5YzZCSTU3Sa20Rw7 i swear to god youre gonna lose your mind
I cant wait till you get into all the lore stuff like "why u bully me", bogdans law, the olofboost etc. There probably is a compilation like "csgo historic moments" or sth if youre curious. Shoutout Kato 2014 for the one time, that's why I started playing 🥲
