How CS:GO's Most Excitable Entry Fragger Became France's Last Great IGL

- Esports are just one thing with the potential to conjure potent emotions in all of us.
It just so happens that they’re damned good at it.
It might feel like a weird fit when a fistbump and a shouted “nice” is the typical affirmation a player receives.
But this is competition, after all. It’s not just about finding out who the best are and putting them in a numbered spreadsheet. It’s about the humans behind the hoists and highlights.
So while many esports players display a cool professionalism, or at least a charming awkwardness…
There are a few players who are different.
They wear their heart on their sleeve, and regularly let their emotions out for the viewers to see. And perhaps no one fits that billing more than French Counter-Strike veteran Dan "apEX" Madesclaire.
apEX has essentially grown up on a Counter-Strike server, but despite now being a wizened veteran of the game, his emotional timbre is one of the few things about him that hasn’t changed very much.

Hes not only a great IGL, but a great grenadier/support and a human
No doubt he's a good IGL, but screaming toxicly everytime his team crushed the opponents don't make him a great human. Unless you mean "a human" as in just a normal human. 🤣
@@mic300391 it's not the fact he is screaming that make him a great human. Just listen to some interview + he is so funny
@@mic300391 it's called being passionate about a game bro, doesn't mean anything
great human? When Kyojin missed a nade on Nuke apEX went to T spawn and was spraying his MAC-10 up to the air. Imagine you are rookie like Kyojin was, and your leader doesnt stand behind you, and rages like this because of your mistake. This really ruins your confidence.
@@james19fin61 no, once again people can get angry that's not a reason, he was literally laughing when he missed the nade because that was the whole execute
I didn't know how funny this guy was until he showed up in one of JasonR's videos a couple years back...dude is absolutely hilarious. Always cheering for him ever since, even if I hope the other team wins.
L Friend
JasonR wow my favourite
always loved french CS for the chaos back in the day. great to have apex still around fragging and still being hilarious
2:18 translation "what? bastard, what are you saying you bastards, fuck you to say that I'm coming behind".
Misutaa face says everything , priceless
for those wondering, yes ALEX is from britain but he is french. I mean he has bothh nationalities and just speak french even better and more fluently than english
I will always remember that clip from Pansy talking about entries, where she said that if Apex was hitting his stride, there is nothing that can stop him.
it's gonna be a sad day when zywoo retires but let's enjoy his godly frags in the meantime
that won't happen for the next 6-7 years, we chilling
@@nebulaxox8845 maybe even 10 years or more
Imagine what would happen when s1mple does
@@n1ckool he will teach torin a lesson
@@n1ckool i mean s1mple has already achieved everything a cs go player could achieve so i guess he can retire and he will forever be the greatest of all time
Let's go, ApEX is my favourite player of all time
The day apeX retires it will be sad day for CS
18:13 LMFAO dupreeh not having it
They talk a lot about his aggression but most of the clips they show are him defending on ct side.
Passive aggressive I guess
zz tarry nah the score e sports are just silvers and have no idea what there talking ab. Every video is the same w the same cliche one liners "he was able to click heads" etc. like yes bro that is what you do in this game
Cts can also so aggressive, like aggressive peaking, going early fights
Pimp got destroyed in the end
you should really do a video on Bad News Eagles. They are the prime example of the explosive CSGO and a perfect “The Story of:” video.
or a spirit video
They did good but you have to consider they also had some easy opponents ( not taking anything away from their great run and obviously only my opinion)
Spirit on the other hand were the secret dark horse who proved everyone wrong
@@blackmanbo1235 This ^
@@forgotmyname64 BNB need to model their playstyle against proper t1 competition. Sometimes it felt like they completely abandoned strats with the discrepancy they had with the top teams. I wish they did better in the legends stage. Really excited to see their run in the next big event. Spirit have been under the radar after playing insanely well last year. Hoping to see them step up their game consistently. They were really scary in the major.
"what is love"
got me crying
When I started watching CSGO, this guy always reacts and does plenty of facial expressions every time the camera pans on him. I already said to myself what a cry baby, then throughout the time I just suddenly appreciates him, how being animated and emotional he is realizing he really loved the game.
4:55 this commentator pretty much just reading the killfeed
The thing they do with the words that are placeholders for phrases is something we did in the military
Episode about apex : It can only be a banger
Pimp got destroyed as always without a reason🤣🤣🤣
I loved watching Apex play early in the games career and had no clue he was such a wonderful lunatic. Thank you camera people.
epik timing, had some spare time :D
The pimp roast got me :D
Nobody can replicate the energy of apex
@@pdrseverance mhmmhm
Hadn’t heard the name kioshima in a long time
Basically he's the Napoleon of CS.
Such a great character🤣
Be yourself! Everyone else is already taken!
great video
02:55 MW2 lobby experience at its finest! Ear rape confirmed!
2:56 shox is like please don’t 😂
He a major winner now bish aaaalalalalala
YESSSS LETS FUCKING GO MY BOY DIMITRI
We need a tabsen video
timing this pops up is funny
karrigan video pleaseshould have mad this on karrigan, used to be a great rifler and also just won major igling
Yo it would be sick if u could tell the story of garettg the rocket league pro that attended every Lan up until now
Just the goat
thats why i prefer csgo as esports over LoL. the players have an actual personality and emotions. in LoL you have robots who only give PR answers
what song apex singing at 3:05
having a bad day? just watch apEX XD
N00B spray
🔥🔥
Wise and Veteran of the Frenchise 🤣🤣
can anyone tells me why apEX stop streaming pls?
magisk and especially dupreeh didnt look like they enjoyed his antics at allllll lol has that changed at all?? i havent watched a vitality game in a bit honestly
Neat
W vid
Apex is one of the best igl in my opinion. U can just like that guy.
Who would've thought thought 'Dan M' would make such a great IGL
If you know, you know.
what is love
QUE TIPAZO APEX COMO TE BANCO
Pog
That IBOY clip tho he's so adorable i'm dying lmao
I thought it was just me, i love apex so much. Sometimes he does stupid things like being a Botpex and I say get apex out lol. I like seeing him smile or in rage, he looks so rare to me.
Apeeeeeeeeeeexxx
i can't imagine apex being the entry fragger with those emotions. hahahaha
Then you don't know cs
Then you don't know cs
He won a fucking MAJOR as the entry fragger LOL.
14:07 ALEX can speak French and has been living in France since he was a child and only play in French roster up until that point. What are you talking about xD ??? Did you just see his nationality on Liquidpedia and think he's just a British who only speaks English?
Cerq next
The Boaster of CS
MON CAPITAINE o7
what was the asian dude in the beginning saying?
Only French tier 1 igl
Happy doing the dirty work? Idk about that one
So you can say... Apex is the french Faker... STARTED MURDERING EVERYONE and then became the leader of the army...
no more apex :( yes more apex :) :D
You just gotta love apex haha
Stockholm dota major pliz
8:33 Happy? Really? Don't want to be rude as he was a pretty fucking great during his major run at 2014 and somewhat pretty decent during 2015 iirc, but underated? Hell nah, at the end of his cs career he was a bonified known baiter, that just had beef with everybody
Who does he have beef with lmao. Anyone that he has been on a team with is usually one of his close friends. Hes a super nice guy and is really funny.
pepsi.
844 veiw :)
Someone translate at 2:20 pls ? 😂
" You fucking bastards, what did you say you fuckers, you said that I was gonna ???? " (cant understand the last word)
@@MrKylljoy😂😂😂 thanx
@@danjelxhafa183 The translation got deleted by RUclips 😭
@@UserOfTheName LMAOOO , now i understand why i never saw thw actual translation in any of the clips were he said that 😂😂 LOOOOL
@@danjelxhafa183 I wana know what he said though
shit timing bruh
I thought it was Ukranian president at first glance
Apex Legends
The thumbnail i thought he looks like Zelensky
This video aside, literally everyone else in the community knows that Apex as that one noob IGL that just can't frag if his life depends on it (he's the OG Hooxi except he never improved) but when his teammates carry him, he does weird dances and uses that as trash talk. Just a very weird character overall, him still playing for a Tier 1 team is one of the great mysteries of the Universe.
Imagine Apex winning the Best IGL of 2023 Award 👻
"APEX essentially grew up on counter-strike". Now i know why apex is so shit headed game
Still lost to faze
And before that he destroyed Gl0ve and his terrible team
Apex was never a good igl lmao. They just needed zywoo to carry every match
Really? So every time that Vitality completely outplays their opponent it is just Zyw0o doing everything? Try learning the game beyond basic mechanics before shit talking pros lmao
@@psych0CS2 vitality has relied on zywoo just like g2 relies on niko. If they arnt dropping 35 they ain’t winning. Sit down please
@@hamp9061 you literally COMPLETELY avoided my question.
Also, its almost like Vitality and G2 are built around their star player or something. Almost as if apEX DESIGNED THE TEAM AROUND ZYW0O. Who would have thought that a team designed to give every advantage to their star player, would rely on said star player. NO SHIT they rely on ZYW0O. thats the entire fucking point.
Aight so I’m esea b. Let me get Dupreeh, fer, simple, and electronic. They’re I just built a team around a star player. Where’s my major? Thank you take that seat now
@@hamp9061 you have zero clue what the fuck you are talking about lol. Theres a difference between choosing 5 well known players to make a star team and making a team that actually makes sence. I guarantee that you never heard of Zyw0o or misuuta before apEX came along, recognized their talent, and added them to the team. He built vitality from nothing. Now stop making a fucking fool of yourself thinking you know everything about cs just because you are esea b.
Furthermore let me completely fucking obliterate that "team" you just constructed.
To start, you have a MASSIVE language barrier. English, danish, Ukrainian, Russian, and brazilian. So you're going to need a very long time to overcome that.
Second: s1mple is your star player sure. But you have the issue of clashing egos between Fer, Dupreeh, and s1mple/electronic. Theres a good chance that won't work.
Third: Fer and Dupreeh both anchor on certain maps, meaning one of them is going to have to switch roles completely, most likely meaning he will underperform since he will be uncomfortable in whatever that new role is
4th: you don't have a someone capable of calling strats and getting good reads on opponents.
5th: you don't have any lurker on the team.
6th: map pool is going to kind of suck. Dupreeh doesn't like mirage that much. However Fer and Dupreeh both like overpass, but Dupreeh has only played it 3 times in the past 3 months.
S1mple and electronic come from NaVi, who have a very good Nuke. But Dupreeh and fer don't have the greatest t
Records on nuke.
Vitality (dupreeh) permaban is Ancient, and s1mple and electronic have Vertigo as a permaban. So now you are forcing players to learn completely new maps. Now that leaves you with the only maps that may all players consistently play being Inferno, Dust2, and Mirage. Thats an AWFUL map pool.
One of the most overrated IGL in this scene.I dont know how many years this guy wasted zywoo talent.
just for a major for example
@@smorf1 give snappi,tabsen and nexa this roster and they would’ve won too
m4a1s is overpowered and csgo devs don't care about balance therefore it's a waste of time to play csgo
mad cuz bad
