6:30 in and i just noticed duncan is wearing his astralis shirt. astralis merch confirmed to keep you warm so your dont have to wear a scarf+jacket @home and can save skrilla for heating costs:]
I hope Alpha Draft pay you extra for the creative intros. I mean seriously, the intros are probably making more people remember the brand at very least.
Nishanth Moses They did. I was hoping they would too, because I really like the players on that team. But still, I've been supporting Astralis since they was known as TSM, and I'll continue doing so through the hard times as well as the easy ones.
+George Smith here is Webber now ? Ik fearless is at molotovs and marshmallows and sur and DEPHH are complexity and Aaron it NR but is Webber still playing
I agree that this is the best line-up of all the danish players, but there is one aspect that i think you forgot. Right now zonic is coaching the danish team, and from what i've seen he is pretty much just moral support (i don't know if he's very good at scheduling any kind of training or actually training the astralis team or anything like that). Right now the astralis team is playing very emotionally (if they win they win even more and gets hyped, and when they are losing they get discouraged and start losing more), but i think that zonic isn't doing what someone like karrigan could do for the team as a coach. When you look at what Karrigan brought to the team and made it what it is today, it was analysing the opponent and working on their own flaws. Kariggan's was playing the opponents well. MSL on the other hand is more of a pure tactic guy who fucks with the opponents head no matter what team (he is also good at analysing the enemy team, but i think Karrigan is better), and focused alot on the executes of the tactics. In conclusion: I would replace zonic with Kariggan, and nothing else. Love your vids btw you ginger god
+Malte Z Agreed. I personally don't think guys like Dupreeh and Dev1ce would play under MSL rather than Karrigan. One of the things Thorin pointed out about Karrigan was the team not listening to him - I don't think that would be any better under MSL. If I would choose, I would also be putting Karrigan as coach and use him as IGL at the same time, and only replacing him with Kjaerbye. Eventually Cajunb could get replaced by others, but I would let him be on the team for a little more.
+DavidR747 Have you seen fox play on LAN recently? All his online games are against Envyus, who are having internal team issues, and Fnatic, who have gone through 2 stand ins since Olof's injury got worse, meaning they don't have much time to practice in-between matches to integrate them. Other than the Inferno game vs Envyus at Cluj, Fox has yet to show that he is worth the amount of money both G2 and Faze paid for him and what Faze is paying him in salary.
I have thought exactly the same about Cajunb and Karrigan. Cajunb hasn't got the drive stay on the top skillwise. Karrigan hasn't got enough innovation anymore, and need to refill his bag of tricks, or leave the party.
i agree with kjaerbye being a good alternative to cajunb but i dont really see MSL performing better than Karrigan.. Probably in terms of tactics he would but as far as i have observed games MSL was underperforming in getting key frags ( just 1 to get on the CT side holding the site was often too much to ask already ). Additionally i think the time of the tactician participating in the active team is pretty much over.. MSL would be a great coach and strat caller in the back in my opinion.
I would be very interested in seeing how you would construct a Polish Super-Team. We have VP in a slump with so much experience and the younger teams like AGG and CSGL with lots of raw skill and star players like Michu.
Duncan, you should make a video and talk about all the teams problems and how to salve the problems and so on. Talk about making new lineups, and so on. It would be really interesting! :) What do you think? Please answer ;)
My advice to you THOORIN is keep another person on the line talking with you or whatever that would be really great if you are explaining this to a person that spices up the content i really love your contents but i also want you to go up on views and subscription i really hope you see this my friends think its boring since you are the only one talking and you're talking to the camera but i love to hear your contents and concepts so keep up the good work my man
I'd be curious about Thorin's thoughts on the new stuff going on with the ibp guys. Seems like richard is putting some work into trying to get them unbanned.
+brax You cant have 5 mad fraggers. You need supportplayers, and that roll, Zyp9x is the best there is in Denmark. CajunB is not gonna be a bigger star than Kjearbye, Device and dupreeh so, no spot for him.
1. What makes you think that astralis would listen to msl as an igl? (thats an issuse that the team has to solve) 2. I think Karrigan does a better job than msl as an igl 3. karrigan > msl skill wise in the last 6 month 65% of karrigans map ratings were 1 or higher, while msl only has 41% of his maps with 1 or higer. (according to the hltv ratings)
I hope you'll make a video on SK and what they need to improve. In my opinion they need to change their roles- magiskboy - awp friis - support igl moddii - entry pimp - attack acillion - lurk
Just chaning CajunB to Aizy/Kjaerbye/Konfig and rest of the crew listening to Karrigan should be enough in my opinion. What about someone not star-power player to replace CajunB, surely two stars should be enough for success. (GTR/Forest, Flamie/Guardian) Adding Aizy could harm the roles. Maybe in that case Kjaerbye would be best, due to his young age.
+Dan W-M people like you are why the majority of the internet hate atheists like you. just let the man believe in God you keep doing your stuff. no point in starting shit.
All what you said was truth, idk why they dont swap rosters like change karrigan and cajunb for kjaerbye and MSl or someone just like you said... There is such a talent in device and dupreeh, they just need the right guys with them.. and then i think they can beat everyone..
I feel like a roster shuffle at this point will fuck up the danish scene. Dignitas has a good thing going. They are easily the best T side in the world and have a great role balance in the lineup. All the players in Dignitas now need to do is improve on an individual skill level. On the other hand, I admit Astralis could do better with a roster tweak but it's a double edged sword considering how consistently they've been placing top 4.
I'd take my chances on Karrigan over MSL in that lineup any day.. Should've gone for Aizy instead of cajunb when that was a possiblity, would've won at least 1 title by this time considering just how good aizy was back then. Would've been a star duo with him an device and dupreeh as an X factor instead of cajun like now.
the problem is that kjaerbye still have school and the same with aizy so they can´t focus all there time on cs:go.. and school for kjaerbye will take about 3 years or so..
SandeN, COLON (or maybe even magiskboy) easily over konfig.. SandeN as a rifler but if u go with COLON u can have him awp and device rifling as he should! kjaerbye ofc before konfig or SandeN in current form. IMO still getting an awper into the team would do it all even if karrigan stays. COLON, device dupreeh, Xyp9x/Kjaerbye, karrigan/MSL would be my superteam
They announced that they're making 9k a month when they made Astralis. Not sure if that is pre or post taxes or how taxes work when they own the company
+Sven Proud They deserve the money, esports should be paid that much or even more, they put 100 hours per week it should be considered as a real job and no surprise about 9k.
"I called it" ... Even though I highly disagree with the MSL pick. I feel that the danes are way to cocky and MSL will never gain their respect, or earn it for that matter. I wanna see kjaerbye in his new position, and then see them do some damage, then maybe change... But I really doubt it'll be for MSL. If anyone, maybe gla1ve, but I don't even see that.... :/
kjaerbye > Cajun, ok that is probably a good move and would help. MSL > Karrigan, dont see how that is a good move, karrigan is a better IGL and a better player in game. Maybe move MSL to coach, strat caller
+Peter Kolodziej Me neither. You look at other sports and some people play professionally into their 40s. While in eSports you're considered ancient and ready to retire at the age of 26.
You may not agree with it, but scientifically a persons reaction times decrease as they get older so at 26 you are slower than at 18. It's not just reaction times it is also about motor functions (muscle control).
And thorin said :"Let there be skrilla"
and there was skrilla...
best intro in ages
"let there be skrilla" and there was skrilla
Thorin! Watch out so you don't choke wearing that shirt..
+Deerv Clever.
+CatnamedMittens ”Michael Bialas” I learn from the best.
You're learning
+Deerv when did you meet Richard Lewis? :D
lol
6:30 in and i just noticed duncan is wearing his astralis shirt.
astralis merch confirmed to keep you warm so your dont have to wear a scarf+jacket @home and can save skrilla for heating costs:]
Funny usually choking makes you colder
I hope Alpha Draft pay you extra for the creative intros. I mean seriously, the intros are probably making more people remember the brand at very least.
As a dane, I approve this Super-Team. However, I still have faith in my boys Astralis, no matter what happens I'll support them.
Nishanth Moses They did. I was hoping they would too, because I really like the players on that team.
But still, I've been supporting Astralis since they was known as TSM, and I'll continue doing so through the hard times as well as the easy ones.
I love these "Building A ______ Super-Team" videos
Team Youporn should be astralis. If you know what i mean XD
no
+john trollston cuz they choke.
+john trollston choke
I always really love when Thorin talk well about younger players. He shows that he has faith in the future of the scene.
Thorin's Thoughts: The Return of Olofmeister
ayyy good to see you here man :D
maur1ke :D
ayyyy
Ayyyyy
+CSGO News suhh jake
Thorin the god predicted the Players to get cutt to win the Major!
" LET THERE BE SKRILLA! "- Lord Thorin 2k16
That intro probably is top 3 ever xD
These super team videos are the best. You should do them for other games too like league.
+Stroose Music So you've watched ~22 minutes of video within 4 minutes of it being uploaded.
kden.
+Ferdinand S You don't need to watch the whole video to make that comment.
+Ferdinand S He's not saying anything about this one specifically. He's saying in general.
This super team makes sense, even the backups for Kjaerbye sound legit.
Try and create a uk "super-team" aka an ok uk team that could even get to the major qualifier
Weber fearless dephh surreal and mole
Couldn't make a major but probably the best
+Smithii good shout, for sure weber
+Jacob “Op” Gunn nice shout
+George Smith here is Webber now ? Ik fearless is at molotovs and marshmallows and sur and DEPHH are complexity and Aaron it NR but is Webber still playing
Thorin's Thoughts - Building a Swedish Super-Team. Please make it happen!
i can predict that
Olofmeister
JW
Flusha
Dennis
Krimz
+Aspirion Fnatic with Pronax back
NissanTekna my opinion for the best team would be: Olofmeister
Krimz
Xizt
Forest
Flusha or Pronax
+Aspirion Xizt? I'd say get_right, dennis, twist or JW would fill that spot better
Olly Russell yea maybe you are right, but i feel his in-game leading and good aim is just too good to pass :)
I agree that this is the best line-up of all the danish players, but there is one aspect that i think you forgot. Right now zonic is coaching the danish team, and from what i've seen he is pretty much just moral support (i don't know if he's very good at scheduling any kind of training or actually training the astralis team or anything like that). Right now the astralis team is playing very emotionally (if they win they win even more and gets hyped, and when they are losing they get discouraged and start losing more), but i think that zonic isn't doing what someone like karrigan could do for the team as a coach. When you look at what Karrigan brought to the team and made it what it is today, it was analysing the opponent and working on their own flaws. Kariggan's was playing the opponents well.

In conclusion: I would replace zonic with Kariggan, and nothing else.
Love your vids btw you ginger god
Msl also holds inferno b site like a fucking spastic.
+Malte Z Agreed. I personally don't think guys like Dupreeh and Dev1ce would play under MSL rather than Karrigan. One of the things Thorin pointed out about Karrigan was the team not listening to him - I don't think that would be any better under MSL.

love your rants thorin!:) keep it up! also, like your sense of logic and the fact that u are a thinking human being.
You beautiful ginger god
We all know the best CS:GO player is Devil.
yup.
Who's mans
+CottonGirrrrraffe better than fox :>
+Jonathan Harvey have you watched fox playing lately or are you just going on the circlejerk?
+DavidR747 Have you seen fox play on LAN recently? All his online games are against Envyus, who are having internal team issues, and Fnatic, who have gone through 2 stand ins since Olof's injury got worse, meaning they don't have much time to practice in-between matches to integrate them. Other than the Inferno game vs Envyus at Cluj, Fox has yet to show that he is worth the amount of money both G2 and Faze paid for him and what Faze is paying him in salary.
I have thought exactly the same about Cajunb and Karrigan. Cajunb hasn't got the drive stay on the top skillwise. Karrigan hasn't got enough innovation anymore, and need to refill his bag of tricks, or leave the party.
I believe that there is so much hidden talent in the danish scene, just waiting to be discovered!
i fucking love his content, but i swear that the intros are the best part of these videos
Uploading while the sk v selfless game is on ? You found it that boring ? Kappa
To Long, Didn't Watch?
Spoilers:
Device - Astralis
Xyp9x - Astralis
Dupreeh - Astralis
Kyaerbe - Dignitas, replacing CajunB | possibly Aizy/K0nfig
MSL - Dignitas, replacing Karrigan
thanks
Kjaerbye*
arthurheinr3778 yeah i knew i spelled it wrong but i just couldnt wrap my brain around it :p thank you
MSL?? Really?? Aizy over MSL for days
+DanielSanderPSV to be an IGL. That's why I said replacing karrigan. Aizy is a better player, but brings less to the team
This Alphadraft intro gives me asmr >.
Anybody Watching this in 2017 and u realize that he was right
right now i would like to see this Astralis:
1. Device
2. Dupreeh
3. Kjaerbye
4. Konfig
5. Valde
I literally thought of the exact same players. I would kill to see this team happen
Building a norwegian super team:
Rain, Jkaem, Rubino, ?, ?.
Not enough good norweigan players.
Aaaaaaand that's all of the Norwegian pros.
+djchange Mystic, polly, reasten, centryz, zeves are all pretty solid players.
I would put zeves and mystic with rain jkaem and rubino
+djchange Would need Zeves, only decent IGL in Norway
Mystic and Polly, but then you just return to LGB at the end of their run
i agree with kjaerbye being a good alternative to cajunb but i dont really see MSL performing better than Karrigan.. Probably in terms of tactics he would but as far as i have observed games MSL was underperforming in getting key frags ( just 1 to get on the CT side holding the site was often too much to ask already ).

Duncan, you should make a video and talk about all the teams problems and how to salve the problems and so on. Talk about making new lineups, and so on. It would be really interesting! :)
What do you think? Please answer ;)
"Let There be Skrilla" sounds like an amazing AC/DC song
He switched from AlphaDraft to The Danish CS GO Scene in no time xD
I hate the fact that you're most definitely right about Karrigan..
The Intros are the best of every video xD
My advice to you THOORIN is keep another person on the line talking with you or whatever that would be really great if you are explaining this to a person that spices up the content
i really love your contents but i also want you to go up on views and subscription
i really hope you see this
my friends think its boring since you are the only one talking and you're talking to the camera
but i love to hear your contents and concepts so keep up the good work my man
these super team videos are amazing
I'd be curious about Thorin's thoughts on the new stuff going on with the ibp guys. Seems like richard is putting some work into trying to get them unbanned.
Snax is also a great rifler who is now an awper as well.
Device, dupreeh, xpn9x, aizy, kjaerby , karrigan (iglcoach) = best dk team!
rip cajun
+svensken37 no aizy please
xpn9x over cajun? u are crazy man :D
+brax You cant have 5 mad fraggers. You need supportplayers, and that roll, Zyp9x is the best there is in Denmark. CajunB is not gonna be a bigger star than Kjearbye, Device and dupreeh so, no spot for him.
TL;DW
Device, Xyp9x, Dupreeh, Kjaerbye, Aizy/Konfig
Inaccurate.
Not to mention if this did happen you could still get a sick lineup for Dignitas with Pimp being a fragger again in Dignitas instead of awp.
Pimp dont wanna play with K0nfig
I love these types of videos.
1. What makes you think that astralis would listen to msl as an igl? (thats an issuse that the team has to solve)
2. I think Karrigan does a better job than msl as an igl
3. karrigan > msl skill wise
in the last 6 month 65% of karrigans map ratings were 1 or higher, while msl only has 41% of his maps with 1 or higer. (according to the hltv ratings)
I hope you'll make a video on SK and what they need to improve. In my opinion they need to change their roles-
magiskboy - awp
friis - support igl
moddii - entry
pimp - attack
acillion - lurk
acilion is a good igl they really should kick friis I watched all sk matchs and he was useless for sk
you should do a swedish super-team video and more of those intros!
Actually, Cajunb is older than Karrigan - He is turning 28 this year afaik
Just chaning CajunB to Aizy/Kjaerbye/Konfig and rest of the crew listening to Karrigan should be enough in my opinion. What about someone not star-power player to replace CajunB, surely two stars should be enough for success. (GTR/Forest, Flamie/Guardian) Adding Aizy could harm the roles. Maybe in that case Kjaerbye would be best, due to his young age.
As a Christian, I found that intro hilarious
+patrick Magnus Nah dude I stopped believing in imaginary friends when I was 4 :/
+Dan W-M Atheists like you make atheists like me feel ashamed. Focus on finishing junior high, bud.
+Dan W-M people like you are why the majority of the internet hate atheists like you. just let the man believe in God you keep doing your stuff. no point in starting shit.
Dan W-M maybe you should let believe what they want to believe, and get a life :/
Religion is poison
Funny how they actually did repalce cajunB with kyaerbe....appearently they are watching these videos as well :D
you wouldnt consider magiskb0y for the same role as Kjaerbye? he seems like a solid young player
gr8 b8
Worse than Kjaerbye.
+Pidi S ........
dude hes good online but chokes at lan
I would swap magisk for msl
All what you said was truth, idk why they dont swap rosters like change karrigan and cajunb for kjaerbye and MSl or someone just like you said... There is such a talent in device and dupreeh, they just need the right guys with them.. and then i think they can beat everyone..
MSL over Karrigan....nah
I think Karrigans gets a lot more to the table than just his fragging.
+Leviathan I Agree with you, he is mentally one of the strongest players.
@thooorin y do you still think a ingame leader has to be a part within the players on the server. imho - MSL + aizy and but MSL behind the players
It took me 7 minutes to notice that you wear an Astralis tshirt :P
shouldve ended the ad with a rhyme "and alphadraft saw what he had made, and the he got paid"
then*
I feel like a roster shuffle at this point will fuck up the danish scene. Dignitas has a good thing going. They are easily the best T side in the world and have a great role balance in the lineup. All the players in Dignitas now need to do is improve on an individual skill level. On the other hand, I admit Astralis could do better with a roster tweak but it's a double edged sword considering how consistently they've been placing top 4.
easily the best T-side in the world. ok m8
+Flo1093 easily the best T side in the world considering the talent pool i meant tbf.
Krishna Sharda that makes a bit more sense :D
Fixing Polish scene (aka fixing VP? )
And fixing Mousports (aka german super team) (which would still be pretty bad sadly)
+Thooorin make a video about cod 4 remastered
I'd take my chances on Karrigan over MSL in that lineup any day.. Should've gone for Aizy instead of cajunb when that was a possiblity, would've won at least 1 title by this time considering just how good aizy was back then. Would've been a star duo with him an device and dupreeh as an X factor instead of cajun like now.
karrigan is a godlike igl.
***** They weren't in a slump back then either, pretty sure they were considered the 3rd best team in the world behind Envy and fnatic.
how to make a danish superteam : Sunde, zonic, ave, trace and minet. all up and coming talent with super potential.
I actully talked about with a friend last week. I said keep Dupreeh, Device and Xyp9x and take in Aizy and Magiskboy
Online boy? :>
Fishy Stick
what do you mean?
+Inferno he means he only perform online.
not magiskboy
+Inferno I wouldnt put in Magiskboy. He didnt prove himself on lan and you also forgot an ingameleader
Kjaerbye turned 18 yesterday btw.
When he describes MSL 18:18 I died LOL
yhhhh waiting for a video like this :)
the problem is that kjaerbye still have school and the same with aizy so they can´t focus all there time on cs:go.. and school for kjaerbye will take about 3 years or so..
Thorin, I played alpha draft and now I have more skrilla than you.
Had the same list, would still like to see xyp9x become more stable though
this shit is basically a hltv thread that says -someone +otherguy
we smart we loyal we friendly we are from brazil
azk he is the north american player but the titan he is the french stars.
ceh9 (a famous youtuber)
Interesting, I would have aizy over xyp6x, but either would be good.
Xyp9x*
where is the aizy clip?
You should do a CIS Super Team.
Next video talk about age in CS GO or Esports
one of the best intros xD
why was aizy in prison?
So........ How many times have Thorin said the word "choke" in this video?
SandeN, COLON (or maybe even magiskboy) easily over konfig.. SandeN as a rifler but if u go with COLON u can have him awp and device rifling as he should! kjaerbye ofc before konfig or SandeN in current form. IMO still getting an awper into the team would do it all even if karrigan stays. COLON, device dupreeh, Xyp9x/Kjaerbye, karrigan/MSL would be my superteam
how many times did he say choke...
14:28 Kjearbye turned 18 yo April 27, i dont know when you made video, just wanna let know ppl know he's 18 know :)
Thorin just compared himself to God hmmm pretty accurate
what does 9k sallary mean? per month? per year? one single person or the whole team? does it mean device makes 9k taxes per month?!?!
They announced that they're making 9k a month when they made Astralis. Not sure if that is pre or post taxes or how taxes work when they own the company
9k for each player a month i think
+Sven Proud 9k per month without taxes
+Sven Proud They deserve the money, esports should be paid that much or even more, they put 100 hours per week it should be considered as a real job and no surprise about 9k.
"I called it"
... Even though I highly disagree with the MSL pick. I feel that the danes are way to cocky and MSL will never gain their respect, or earn it for that matter. I wanna see kjaerbye in his new position, and then see them do some damage, then maybe change... But I really doubt it'll be for MSL. If anyone, maybe gla1ve, but I don't even see that.... :/
But what about -cajunb +pimp/magisk I do think kjaerbye is the best tho, just wondering? And please no aizy, maybe k0nfig in year or two.
Next video, building a Swedish Super-team. That team would plow everybody
Amazing.
Where is aizy's video?
kjaerbye > Cajun, ok that is probably a good move and would help.
MSL > Karrigan, dont see how that is a good move, karrigan is a better IGL and a better player in game. Maybe move MSL to coach, strat caller
Thorin should get +1 scrilla every time someone says "skrilla"
best intro ever made rofl
would love to see the Finnish super-team because in csgo it has not been as good as in 1.6
why not put msl or karrigan as a coach and get even more firepower?
CIS superteam next please? maybe?
agreed that would be awesome!
You should really do a German/german speaking Super-Team. 😊
mouz.
+focusmuffin there are more good german players. For example tabseN. He is a monster in FPL
+WoWoUz HD srs in ''fpl'' 😂😂😂
+WoWoUz HD denis nex spidii tabsen and ?
+Smithii chrisj to awp.
building a swedish super team:
olof - rifler/awper
flusha - igl
jw -awper
get right - lurker
forest - rifler
threat - coach
Swedish super team
Olof, flusha, JW, KrimZ, Dennis
Vuggo coach
he is
funny how much of this turned out to be wrong still kinda interesting to watch now
No Magiskboy?
I don't see why age is such an important criteria in esports
+Peter Kolodziej Me neither. You look at other sports and some people play professionally into their 40s. While in eSports you're considered ancient and ready to retire at the age of 26.
+Litego Milkman I think it has to do with reaction time and your muscles idk
Thomas Perone Not like you need a fast reaction time in other sports, right?
+Litego Milkman Other sports require a fast reaction time like CSGO does? Maybe 1-2 max
You may not agree with it, but scientifically a persons reaction times decrease as they get older so at 26 you are slower than at 18. It's not just reaction times it is also about motor functions (muscle control).
