The French CS scene atm. Tons of raw talent, tons of raw potential to be truly terrifying within CSGO.....yet no fucking clue how to use it to achieve victory.
Dave Do you remember that the old EnvyUs lineup was the best team on inferno in the world at some point? NBK and KennyS were absolute monsters on it. I think G2 vs Fnatic could be one of the coolest duels in 2017, especially on inferno
I kinda agree, but to be honest. Fnatic already won to G2 2-0 with these new lineups. It's not saying everything because G2 doesn't have a lot of experience with this line-up, but I really think Fnatic is gonna be really competitive this year!
Here some stats: fnatic: Inferno Times played 171 Wins / draws / losses 125 / 3 / 43 Envyus: Inferno Times played 84 Wins / draws / losses 52 / 0 / 32 Envyus vs fnatic on Inferno fnatic 7 wins Envyus 1 win
DirooX fnatic was way better at inferno. Envyus just looked really good because of the holds from NBK and Kennys but that doesn't make the entire team good.
How the fuck do you make a 40 minute video about this, even talk about Kqly and Maniac ffs and still not talk about how Scream was left out of the super team?
Rumors say that the only reason is because he is not french. Even tough he speaks french, there are some tournaments that only allow teams with only one nationality to play.
Look forward to how well this G2 line-up is gonna do. Also with the old Fnatic coming back together, this year's CSGO seems to have a pretty exciting start (especially with new Inferno replacing D2).
well the title of the video is "the third french shuffle" which implys the shuffle of the team lineups, the teams are french. therefore scream is a viable topic to talk about.
I'm very excited about new G2, but I agree their map pool is a question mark: G2 and nV had different perma bans, and you're taking a big risk if you can't play both Train and Overpass given the strength of, for instance, Astralis on these maps (unless you perma ban one of them). However, with Dust2 out, Train is probably the number 1 "awper carry map, " and kennys can certainly do that. Nuke is still a map that you can't float in the map pool for a Bo3 series if you're playing a team who's happy to pick it, but G2 certainly have the fragging power to be good on Nuke, and both old G2/nV at least knew what they were doing on it. That all said, if this team really goes off at any given tournament, like old G2 did in Summer 2016, it almost doesn't matter what their map pool is; they can just beat you up on your map pick, such as being the only team who could compete with LG/SK on Overpass. Their likely best maps (according to Thorin) of Cache/Inferno/Cobble are probably gonna be the same as Fnatic's best maps, so that could be a really fun match up, if both these teams are as good as everyone expects; ie. competing for World No1 and to win majors, along with Astralis, VP and possibly NaVi if they keep improving. And on an unrelated note, the new G2 jersey is incredible.
Thooorn I know you made another video for hiko when I asked, so please try and get another reflections with NBK big fan of him and what he had to share was very interesting and i'd love to hear his thoughts on recent events of the french scene
Thorin talking for years about KQLY and shit but forgets the legit best french AWPer 'fxy0' that is sadly also banned due to match-fixing. RIP fxy0 - #1 french AWPer Imagine EnVyUs: - Happy (IGL) - fxy0 (AWP) - ScreaM (Entry) - xms (role?) - RpK (Support) Now that would be a fucking sick team. Imagine -xms +kio - even fucking better. But I like how ScreaM and Happy already fucking took the whole shitty G2 lineup apart :) I bet those G2 baguettes are already SUPER TILT and are waiting for the next shuffle.
Ever since G2 (the org itself) has come into this scene they've been grinding so hard. They've either had some amazing plans come through, or been the luckiest org at picking up players.
Mesa Roku Heroic is an upset team, it's what they do. G2 isn't expected to have a super deep map pool anyways, especially after only several days, which plays out perfectly for Heroic.
actually scream is a rly odd creature because even extendes couldnt use him right and make him a consistent fragger so you should blame the French sense cause of that but kariggen I think he has the mind to make some shit out of him I think faze can be a rly good time for tha scream
Basically what happened was nbk threw a temper tantrum cuz he didn't want scream so they sided with nbk and scream got left on the sour side of a 3rd French shuffle
Thorin, if you get a chance to read this comment, would you consider formatting your videos into podcasts while simultaneously uploading them on RUclips as well. Your videos are more audio focused and I would love to listen to your thoughts without always having to have an internet connection.
Hey thorin, are we getting a video about the fnx / felps shuffle (what it will be of the two brazilians teams, not the reasons the we all already know), or maybe the old fnatic roster together again, what we should expect, they still got their mojo?? Thanks cheers,
40 minutes. I'll be an expert after this.
Lol
CatnamedMittens Curios
The long anticipated Thooorin video is upon us. Thank father jesus god christ omg yes
GameNationRDF lol
All hail the Thorin
and its 40 minutes. Long live Thorinn
The French CS scene atm. Tons of raw talent, tons of raw potential to be truly terrifying within CSGO.....yet no fucking clue how to use it to achieve victory.
I had been waiting for this.
El Lohvrti same
now I'm waiting for Fnatic thoughts
...and he delivered!
I have no hope for this shuffle tbh. I just want to see the old fnatic play on inferno again!
Dave Do you remember that the old EnvyUs lineup was the best team on inferno in the world at some point? NBK and KennyS were absolute monsters on it. I think G2 vs Fnatic could be one of the coolest duels in 2017, especially on inferno
Arguably
I kinda agree, but to be honest. Fnatic already won to G2 2-0 with these new lineups. It's not saying everything because G2 doesn't have a lot of experience with this line-up, but I really think Fnatic is gonna be really competitive this year!
Here some stats:
fnatic: Inferno
Times played 171
Wins / draws / losses 125 / 3 / 43
Envyus: Inferno
Times played 84
Wins / draws / losses 52 / 0 / 32
Envyus vs fnatic on Inferno
fnatic 7 wins
Envyus 1 win
DirooX fnatic was way better at inferno. Envyus just looked really good because of the holds from NBK and Kennys but that doesn't make the entire team good.
Thorin just told us to kill ourselves.. FeelsBadMan
Deerv / M-Jeyy killermemestar
Deerv / M-Jeyy well at least you know he's ginger
this is actually so relaxing to listen to thoorin, I dont know why.
Janne Parkson with ya
Janne Parkson I grind dm and retakes and just listen to thoorin the entire time.
Janne Parkson I grind dm and retakes and just listen to thoorin the entire time.
The long awaited and much anticipated video about the French Shuffle is finally here PogChamp
How the fuck do you make a 40 minute video about this, even talk about Kqly and Maniac ffs and still not talk about how Scream was left out of the super team?
Rumors say that the only reason is because he is not french. Even tough he speaks french, there are some tournaments that only allow teams with only one nationality to play.
because scream isn't good enough to be on the super team
Adam, that's just not true. I prefer him instead of boddy :P
Matheus Daniel da Silveira you prefer. Players don't. That's the point. Also, WESG.
scream might join makeleles new team or faze
"Long Awaited (Jebaited) and much anticipated (Jebaited)." -Thoorin knows his memes FeelsGoodMan
40 minutes of content and no ads you are the goat
I'm hoping for a reflections with an old cs pro soon. That'd be the best.
So sad to see screaM gone
40 min of informative ASMR. I'm blessed : )
Damn, calling out analysts for their shit. Good shit.
19:35 made me die, so true
this is why i follow this god, i love to hear his opinions , and most of the times its not only an opinion but also FACTS !
Fuck G2 is gonna be a good team next Major. RIP Team Envyus
KennyS and Shox? Definitely a massive duo like Fallen and Coldzera if they click together.
Scream will join kio as exiled french player, also it is not the first time scream was exiled as well.
Look forward to how well this G2 line-up is gonna do. Also with the old Fnatic coming back together, this year's CSGO seems to have a pretty exciting start (especially with new Inferno replacing D2).
I agree with everything you said except for the Charles Barkley comment. He joined Drexler and Hakeem on the rockets which was a super team back then.
DoubleA Gaming no championship tho ;)
16:01 - "and since they're all about confidence and all this bullshit" LMAO
happy in his first game back already played waaaay better and like he did in LDLC so im pumped for him
*back as with the new envy
If Ex6tenZ ever actually succeeds in winning a Major, yung Duncan is going to be the fittest he's ever been after all that right hand cardio.
I agree, lets see how scream will do in the future!
How did u manage to not talk about the wun taps
Luka Delic scream is not from france so
well the title of the video is "the third french shuffle" which implys the shuffle of the team lineups, the teams are french. therefore scream is a viable topic to talk about.
irregardless of his nationality
all the people saying that 40 minutes is a lot clearly never watched Alphadraft ;D
Cryptic hahah
2017 is going to be the most competitive year of all time, insanely skilled teams, Na'Vi Astralis SK fnatic G2 VP North(with aizy)
19:30. xD ty for this video, I was waiting
lets not say anything about this guy, kindest words thoris ever said.
I'm very excited about new G2, but I agree their map pool is a question mark: G2 and nV had different perma bans, and you're taking a big risk if you can't play both Train and Overpass given the strength of, for instance, Astralis on these maps (unless you perma ban one of them). However, with Dust2 out, Train is probably the number 1 "awper carry map, " and kennys can certainly do that. Nuke is still a map that you can't float in the map pool for a Bo3 series if you're playing a team who's happy to pick it, but G2 certainly have the fragging power to be good on Nuke, and both old G2/nV at least knew what they were doing on it. That all said, if this team really goes off at any given tournament, like old G2 did in Summer 2016, it almost doesn't matter what their map pool is; they can just beat you up on your map pick, such as being the only team who could compete with LG/SK on Overpass.

And on an unrelated note, the new G2 jersey is incredible.
love it, pure content
Shox and KennyS !?!?!?! FUCK YES I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS.
@Thooorin please in depth Fnatic thoughts
40 min, thats a hard Kreyg
Thooorn I know you made another video for hiko when I asked, so please try and get another reflections with NBK big fan of him and what he had to share was very interesting and i'd love to hear his thoughts on recent events of the french scene
Luv u thorin thanks for the work
@Thoorin please make a video about Faker's arrival to twitch
Y R U DO DIS FRANCE???? POOR EX6TENZ
The "R" there is unecessary
juanme555 poor scream
lol the first time i read this, i thought the r in poor LULULULLU
I definitely think Scream or Ex6tenz should be on the team instead of Body
there is a big need for ex6
They did well in the qualifier for katowice on Nuke and Train
Great video thorin!
enjoyed listening great video!
19:00 - Shox DID play with a dominant AWPer before. fxy0 in Epsilon.
40 mins.....1 hour later still cant decide if to watch it or not!!
19:35 Thorin, Did you just tell us to kill ourselves because of our humor? I thought you were better than that!
Nice jacket this time! @Thooorin
the next major will be fucking insane ,😍
Thorin talking for years about KQLY and shit but forgets the legit best french AWPer 'fxy0' that is sadly also banned due to match-fixing.
RIP fxy0 - #1 french AWPer
Imagine EnVyUs:
- Happy (IGL)
- fxy0 (AWP)
- ScreaM (Entry)
- xms (role?)
- RpK (Support)
Now that would be a fucking sick team.
Imagine -xms +kio - even fucking better. But I like how ScreaM and Happy already fucking took the whole shitty G2 lineup apart :) I bet those G2 baguettes are already SUPER TILT and are waiting for the next shuffle.
"Existence had to fucking Micro him" lmfao
If they kept scream on this team the trio would have been crazy
A little summary of these thoughts would be nice...
Ever since G2 (the org itself) has come into this scene they've been grinding so hard. They've either had some amazing plans come through, or been the luckiest org at picking up players.
carlos wants trophies
Eh it's the same thing in basketball, Barkley was on like 4 teams, the only one who didn't move was Jordan because he didn't have to
Thorin calling out the Warriors lol.
Warriors fan from the Bay Area
haha, thoorin sure impressed by shoxies giant tool (;
Thorin : The 2nd best french awper is KQLY !!!!!!
Me : Say what !?
KQLY was the clear second best before he was banned, it seemed like he never missed a lot of the times, incredibly accurate AWPing.
and then, he move to KQLYFORNIA for VACation !!
French Super team went out to Cadian's team
They had about 3 days practice, what did you expect?
I didn't expect much but please ... not to Heroic
Mesa Roku Heroic is an upset team, it's what they do. G2 isn't expected to have a super deep map pool anyways, especially after only several days, which plays out perfectly for Heroic.
Mesa Roku lmao
I like Csgo
Billy Hashbrown we know
Billy Hashbrown I too like Counter Strike: Global Offensive, Billy.
big up thorin
It is ein shuffol vich vill last EIN ZOUSANT YEARS!
his essays must have always exceeded the word count
Thooorin, please make a video on the "new" fnatic lineup! Would love to hear what you think about it.
Please give your thoughts on the Active Duty change dust 2 got replaced
please make another about the swedish shuffle
This era reminds me of Melee at the moment.
I'm just waiting till pro league s3 to see all these new teams In action
DiddyKong Micah yes
actually scream is a rly odd creature because even extendes couldnt use him right and make him a consistent fragger so you should blame the French sense cause of that but kariggen I think he has the mind to make some shit out of him I think faze can be a rly good time for tha scream

19:20 I just died :,D ty papa
Imagine a deadly trio with kennys, shox, and ScreaM
Where is the major video?
oh yeah. I forgot you were a basketball fan. that is a great sport no doubt.
Inferno,dust, maybe train, cache are g2s maps
Hey thorin, are we getting a video about the fnx / felps shuffle (what it will be of the two brazilians teams, not the reasons the we all already know), or maybe the old fnatic roster together again, what we should expect, they still got their mojo?? Thanks cheers,
9:07 shots fired at the warriors
Velhomiguel or the 2010 Miami heat
I am pretty sure that Ex6tence gonna Win a Major someDay
I fell asleep to this. Twice!
thank you thoorin
does a confidence player include someone who gets worse as the losing gap increases?
RAWR ITS COW Slightly more complicated than that. But losing can be a factor.
Take a shot every time thorin touches his nose
NBK is a beast on the B-site of inferno
di bano and cache A
i think to1nou has potential to be tier1 player :P
G2 will not play on Nuke because shox said that he hates Nuke even tho VG's nuke was insane.
Lovely
Thumps up for not spliting the Video!
are you making a video about the fnatic shuffle?
a video for Nv with scream?
19:33
Haha thorin no need, you made the joke for me 19:33
Do you keep your house at a nice cool 30 degrees? Lol
Who is [shox] video please :) I want to know everything about his Source times :D
Would have liked to have Scream instead of body but NBK through a fucking fit if he wasn't dropped from the lineup
Best Team
-Shox
-Scream
-KennyS
-Body
-Rpk
Thorin maybe talk about the fnatic roster moves and the future for this year of csgo

Thorin Dislike Happy Ep. 7
