@@choopa_noopa the account I was using to do it got trust factor nuked, and I was getting multiple cheaters in every game, it was basically HvH. I'm doing this new series on my main account, so it should be less of a problem.
I wish him the best of luck but competitive really needs an update to ranks, I have 30+ wins on inferno with over 60% win rate and I've gone down 1 rank from where I placed. If you look it up most people have this issue ranking up feels next to impossible atm
@@TheWarOwlif encountering blatant hackers will make you give up on the series, I'm afraid this one is doomed as well. Situation right now is pretty bad
Why the first (starting 01:08) map looks like it doesn't belong in this game? It looks much worse than any other map. Models and textures looks like from 2008.
This is a monumental task WarOwl is putting on himself, with CS2 making every map its own rank is like quadruple the workload to then edit down into something worth watching. It's cool to see these Solo Queue videos pop up every once a year but please viewers don't expect this to be a consistent series.
Really happy to hear you got a long term sponsorship! Honestly I enjoy the sponsored content you make as much as the rest. Looking forward to hearing more about your experience with the new headphones.
Ayy nice to see you here, I see you've been a long time follower of this channel. I've never personally looked into PC security or what it entails, but I might now thanks to you ❤
Honestly i feel like this about any smaller/medium channel that doesn't have sponsors in 80% of the videos, the ads can be skipped if they're actually annoyng and if they're not it's just part of the content, plus it's positive towards the channel's longevity.
The original road to global is one of my top 5 favourite youtube series of all time. I am so excited for this new adventure. Hopefully the small milestone of getting to global on each map will help with the despair of having to soloQ to global on ancient. Godspeed Mr Owl
I think Ancient is one of my favorite maps right now. it's Office that I'm dreading... The idea of the series is that I'll learn (and teach) each of the maps individually, so they'll serve as mini-tutorials too.
@@TheWarOwl I think this is such an awesome potential for the series, explaining strats and lineups during a soloQ video series combines the best of both series for me!
@@TheWarOwl I'm excited to see the series return but I'm worried about burnout from having to play the same map over and over. On the other hand I get that if you try to do multiple at once it'll make them take longer and I've never even been close to global. Obviously you know your limits and capabilties better than I do so I hope that I'm concerned over nothing and the series stays as fun to make as it is to watch.
solo-q to global shall forever be one of the best cancelled series of all time. It feels weird that the csgo one is done, but now I can archive it and come back to it in a couple of decades
Its an impossible goal if youre good at the game. Since you get placed with bots, you will be reported for everything and constant 14 day griefing cooldown Only way i can play MM is if i troll, to not get griefing ban. Which is really ironic
interesting to see how this is going to go. Can't wait til you have to queue office and meet quite possibly my favorite type of CS player to exist, the office only player.
Your videos helped get me to GE in CSGO as a solo player; took me 441 lonely wins. I'm an old boy like yourself and don't have friends that are into CSGO, but your videos saw me through. I am super happy you're doing this for CS2! Thank you Mr. TheWarOwl
I‘m MGE on inferno, but we‘re a lvl 10 stack with like 90 % winrate. It‘s insane how the ranking works. As soon as you lose two games, you derank - and you need like 15 wins to get back up.
I just built my first PC and I've played maybe ten games of CounterStrike so far. Total. Ever. I'm almost 40. You just got another subscriber. Excited to see how this plays out.
I'm excited for the new series! Unfortunately right now it's VERY difficult to rankup in comp. Valve needs to adjust something given it's separate ranks for each map.
Hey Warren Fowler. I've watched Solo Q to Global probably like 4 times over the years. Despite never achieving the goal, it's seriously one of the most entertaining series on yt. Super glad to see you're back at it for cs2. Also the corsair sponsorship is awesome, fills me with hope - it's like a good omen.
Last time when you started your road to global I went to university and it was my favourite series to watch and now you have again started your series in cs2 and just moved to canada I will be getting same series 9x times to enjoy hope you don’t forget in middle of the series.😊😊
@TheWarOwl you’re so fucking nutty dude. you’ve evolved in so many areas it’s insane. congrats man, glad I got to see your story, hope to continue doing so. cheers WarOwl
I love your storytelling. The pacing the camera angles covering each player its like you’re displaying all the thinking you’re doing in the game, maybe im overthinking but cool vid either way 🫡
7:10 i recognise that background music. Would love to see more of Advance Wars music on your channel! And all the best for your goal! I know you can do this and we stand with you throughout this new journey!
You're a really cool guy, WarOwl. Every video you post has depth, candor, vulnerability, curiosity, humility, and on and on. You're authentic, and I really appreciate it.
That's a great sponsorship. I use Corsair for my RGB and my keyboard. I hope you're not feeling too locked down only being able to choose Corsair peripherals. You can always swap off camera, just don't let anyone find out! I hope this means you don't have to do intrusive sponsorships from raid shadow legend. Corsair is on topic for CS2 gaming and they do offer decent gaming products and customer support.
I was feeling low today because of professional and personal reasons. But your video and the way you ended it left me smiling with determination. And that is exactly why I love your content. Thanks WarOwl!
WarOwl, seriously - you can quit any series at any time, no questions asked. You don't have to commit to an entire thing for a really long time whatsoever. You don't owe anything to anyone but yourself. Doing the same thing repeatedly for like 10 years can and does burn people out, and you shouldn't force yourself to do something you don't feel like doing. There are many other series of yours that are equally interesting, and you could even branch out into different games. So please, don't run into burnout just because you claim you "lack discipline".
Thrilled to see this. Getting to global has never been the draw of the series, it's the creativity and story telling that is the draw (at least for me)
Glad(?) to know that WarOwl has finally experienced having teammates that just play as if they're CT even though they're T in the middle of a round. Screw these types of players
I'm happy to see this series happening, but the ranks on individual maps are broken asf. I've won about 50 times on dust2 and got only one promotion. A lot of my supreme and global friends got ranks like silver elite or gold nova like me and seem stuck. I wouldnt be surprised if Warowl got gold I in this series
Damn well made video! It was a pleasure. I was dearly entertained all the way through. Shout out for the amount of work to your add for your sponsor. That was some effort, and cleverly sciptet. I enjoyed this one a lot! So well put together, in all the details. Love you, Brent!
@@TheWarOwl I always check profiles mid-game and I ran your account through faceitfinder to see if it’s really you and it showed you were verified haha. I instantly had to tell the whole team
"In cs2 you have a rank per map". Gaslighting people into thinking premier doesn't exist? I GOT YOU WAROWL, there is NO ESCAPE. Thank you for the video, happy new year! :D PS: I can confirm your silver strategy is sound. I give my teammates 2 or 3 rounds, if I see them having good timing and map awareness, I try and communicate. If they're braindead, I just run and try to kill. After all, I only play for the case drop.
Fresh start in the Global Elite journey! I'm happy you're doing this again, excited for what comes next! Best of luck Mr. WarOwl, and thank you for the enjoyable videos, I appreciate hearing your thoughts on the rounds you've played and also this series going forward :D
Man the B anchor is so fun though. Like, if they rush B I get to have fun trying to hold the rush, if they split mid I get to take long range duels (or help secure window), if they go A I get to retake A from either CT or jungle. It’s just fun all around.
In CS:GO, I was most often between Gold Nova 3 and MG:E. After grinding the competitive in CS2, I got Silver III and Silver IV on all four maps I managed to get 10 wins on. And now, even after winning four maps in a row, the rank hasn't changed. So I applaud this effort but I am afraid it's not possible in your lifetime...
PLEASE DON'T LET THIS SERIES ABANDONED LIKE THE OLD ROAD TO GLBOAL

how to unlock rank on compe? still need prime or no? i have played a lot ancient and mirage game, but still no rank. im not prime btw
you need ten wins on the map to get a rank@@thedart5521
Thanks WarOwl for still using my Global Elite artwork for many years
Yes we back boiis! :D And I'm also happy that you're getting sponsored with Corsair!
So glad to see you bringing this back
love this series and glad it can finally be redone and finished this time
If he finishes this challenge I’d eat a shoe
On the bright side, he didn't waste almost 50 episodes before giving up this time
Global elite is literally impossible right now
Ah, a good old solo Q. Love these!
Like you we would also not have "closure" for this series. :P Love you man! excited for this
Been waiting for this, and the Corsair sponsorship is huge for the program. Keep it coming WarOwl
I just built my first PC and I've played maybe ten games of CounterStrike so far. Total. Ever. I'm almost 40.
You just got another subscriber. Excited to see how this plays out.
how has it gone bro!
@@kylefry8980 clutched a 1v4 two weeks ago... other than that, getting my ass kicked. Hahaha good times though
Godspeed, WarOwl. It was bad enough getting a rank on every map, much less the road to Global
I'm excited for the new series! Unfortunately right now it's VERY difficult to rankup in comp. Valve needs to adjust something given it's separate ranks for each map.
Rather see him soloq premier
You’re an absolute monster and i am learning useful utility and positioning. Thank you and Happy New Year.
Never ending story
Congrats on the Sponsorship with Corsair! So glad to see this series is reborn. Best of luck WarOwl!

Earlier today I was thinking about how much it would suck to push to global on every map, and now I see this. Goodluck madman!
This makes me so happy... Looking forward to more videos from this series!
This goal is very ambitious. Good luck! You will do it!
Good luck man. Looking forward to the series
Bought a Corsair K100 for CS and Valorant, couldn't be happier with it.
Glad you got a good sponsor, they make good products.
I LOVE THIS SERIES PAPA WAROWL, PLEASE KEEP UPLOADING
I was feeling low today because of professional and personal reasons. But your video and the way you ended it left me smiling with determination. And that is exactly why I love your content. Thanks WarOwl!

Ayy, nice work on a long-term sponsor WarOwl! Much love and here's to hoping for a complete SoloQ 2 Global series ❤
Love ya dude, cant wait to follow you on this journey. Hope you have fun on your road to global.
My friends call CS2 Matchmaking the "5v5 Casual Mode"
it's okay WarOwl dont worry about not completing the old soloQ series. The journey is what truly matters, not the destination :)
Thrilled to see this. Getting to global has never been the draw of the series, it's the creativity and story telling that is the draw (at least for me)
Aaaand the series got abandoned after 1 episode again xD

can't wait for more on this series!
