lol Dazed actually reminds me of s1mple he usually carries every single FPL game and gets pissed when his teammates dont do enough or make shitty mistakes.
+Gandek and you blame him? there's losing because your enemies are simply playing good, and there's losing because of your teammates making dumb mistakes. I'd also get mad if i play good but my team just do stupid shit.
👌😭 ahshah he posted ìt again h0ly shit OP the💃AbIaZoLUTE💃MadMaN💃 IT JUSTKEeps geeting FuNniER EVERy 🍆fucking🍑⏳TIme⌛ he POSTs it haHAzhAHa 👌😭 📞 OPErATOR give mE The p👮Lice thEre's a💃 MADmaN💃maKIN 🐸MEmES🐸 in oUr MIDsT and I CAN'T bREATHe 👌😨
This is the video that got me into cs and made me a s1mple fan for life. Started playing mm after this video got me watching s1mple stream from liquid house in L.A. That best of 10 sroodS1mple Vs Summ1tM0e, never forget.
I think it's also worth mentioning that Hiko will potentially help in fitting him into the team socially, since we know Hiko shares the drive to win as the primary goal of the team. So hopefully it works out.
+Zorkz - CS:GO Clips i think that his english is just fine, ive been watching his stream for the last couple of weeks and tends to speak it almost fluently
correction : ESL cologne is in July 8! will run to july 10th and all 3 days will be hosted in lanxess arena. Still, presumably it will be a major and the 3rd major presumably will be Dreamhack Stolkholm with a arena which can host 11,000 people.
s1mple is a funny and good guy, he rages, but has grown up and became a better player and person. Everyone rages in a competitive game, and when alot of money and fame is on the line i could see a younger player not being able to deal really well. Awesome analysis thorin! Keep it up man!
ItsYakuza It's actually from Battlefield 4's battlelog emblem creation. It was on a website that shared these emblems and not one chose this one so it became mine, and since I had the name "CatnamedMittens" I found it adorable and fitting since I like cats and videogames.
i watch your videos for the insight. most things about team mentality etc are on point. i only say most as i havent watched them all and wouldnt know if its all right. but all the points about mentality or how to get the most out of your players etc are applicable in every team atmosphere. thanks look forward to more.
As someone from the NA region who is a fan of high level counter strike this is very exciting. I love watching s1mple play and seeing how he will integrate with NA players will be fun to watch. kudos to TL for being the first NA team to pick up EU talent. (pyth isn't talent!)
You are the Simon Cowell of eSports. And also I feel like even though s1mple is amazing, his playstyle of doing w/e he wants all the time will never put him equivalent or above olof, device etc. If he can listen to an IGL and become a team player and keep the skills he has now and improve on them he'll be number 1 this year
His personality might work in his favour, I can see him being the Doublelift of CSGO, absolutely insane mechanical player with a cocky personality, people would buy into that, not like they do in EU and CIS
Doublelift has been playing in the NA LCS for fucking 3 years fairly sure mistaking him for someone else. Besides I'm not talking about his actual achievements, I'm talking about his persona, having a marketable persona is important in esports, gets you stream viewers and stuff, I'm saying that his personality may work in his favour that way, just like how Steel is basically the trick2g of CSGO
He completely forseen this. MLG Major Columbus. I really like s1mple. I think they got very good team chemistry, especially him and Hiko. I hope they beat Lumi or NaVi or maybe even get the title.
Hiko had to have made this move since he played with him before. I can't wait to see him kill the NA scene online! I hope he will actually be a good player and teammate.
He is such a good player. S1mple best player in NA already. Hopefully it works out for Liquid, also wanna see s1mple playing FPL with dazed, steel and m0e lmao
Imagine if Team Liquid dug real deep in their pockets and bought pronax ( -adren ). Why i think this would work is because s1mple as a young guy needs someone like pronax who won everything there is. I believe he would respect him more then adren. If adren makes a mistake i just hope he doesnt blow up.
+The Johnky He is a shit player all around. We all know what happend in flipside where blade was an IGL. Blade is also really good IGL but simple couldnt understand why does he make mistakes.
liquid to beat fnatic at katowice 2016, and cologne 2016, and memehack na>eu confirmed. if you reply to this comment regardless of what you say, you agree.
+The Johnky LOL have you watched Hiko, this guy is a fucking beast. Flowsick played with them before and he did not show up S1mple is just insane you need to learn your cs knowledge
lets see how they go it will give na fpl a boost . when they start getting destoryed by s1mple they might start trying.. i think adren is under pressure now more then ever. and if he doesnt preform he will get replaced . dont know who by EU player maybe
In my opinion the BEST pickup for tsm would easly be someone like simple or guardian, in my opinion device shouldent awp and i do not think he is up there with olofmesiter in terms of awping. I never said to my self holy shit that awp shot is insane when device gets a kill with it, literally all awp shoots he does is from standard angels and not difficult shots at all and i think there is many people in the world that arent even pro could make. When olof, guardian, simple, allu, kennys, jw makes awp shoots i can say right away, I cannot make some of those shots. But if u sit ticket on mirage 24/7 with a awp and the other team goes up a its not gonne be so hard to kill them.
If he would have been on a top team he would i think, maybe could have been the best player of the year. Just raw skillwise he is i think better than olofm and guardian
NA FPL with steel dazed, m0e and s1mple. Cannot wait
lol Moe
lol Dazed actually reminds me of s1mple he usually carries every single FPL game and gets pissed when his teammates dont do enough or make shitty mistakes.
m0e. Haha, that would be a mess.
+Gandek #news1mple #newDaZeD
+Gandek and you blame him? there's losing because your enemies are simply playing good, and there's losing because of your teammates making dumb mistakes. I'd also get mad if i play good but my team just do stupid shit.
Thooorin really has a good eye for talent , and we can see that after all these years.
S1mple has been changing teams faster than Taylor Swift changes her boyfriend
+skylest32 4Head
+skylest32 lol
U can do better. S1mple switches team faster than bruce Jenner chanses his sex.
👌😭 ahshah he posted ìt again h0ly shit OP the💃AbIaZoLUTE💃MadMaN💃 IT JUSTKEeps geeting FuNniER EVERy 🍆fucking🍑⏳TIme⌛ he POSTs it haHAzhAHa 👌😭 📞 OPErATOR give mE The p👮Lice thEre's a💃 MADmaN💃maKIN 🐸MEmES🐸 in oUr MIDsT and I CAN'T bREATHe 👌😨

cant wait to hear the trumpets announcing: BRING OUT THE G1MPLE!!
Liquid is now the best NA team in my opinion
+124Callum124 s1mple best NA player already
SNxW Most definitely! Excited to see s1mple in a structured team!
+SNxW nah Freakazoid.
+NTHN - CS:GO FragMovies! Ahahah best joke of the year
+NTHN - CS:GO FragMovies! You should do stand up some time this year! I'd love to see you perform.
we want alphadraft song !
Xd
+Nazwrok brok Don Dolo Inc
+Jared Shafer LOL
+Nazwrok brok when you have people excited for your ad, you've done good thorin
+Nazwrok brok yo guys heard about csgodouble yet?
New betting site use promo code THEWAROWL to get free 500 credits
I think it's also worth mentioning that Hiko will potentially help in fitting him into the team socially, since we know Hiko shares the drive to win as the primary goal of the team. So hopefully it works out.
I just wonder if the language barrier will be a problem since s1mple's english isn't too good, but he'll be taking english lessions anyways
+Zorkz - CS:GO Clips Yeah and he is toxic as fuck xD
+Fabehy not anymore :)
Fabehy it has gotten better
+Zorkz - CS:GO Clips i think that his english is just fine, ive been watching his stream for the last couple of weeks and tends to speak it almost fluently
+Zorkz - CS:GO Clips for NA team it will be: "Go s1mple kill them all"
for Eu team it will get a bit harder ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
This is what the HLTV headline should have been:
s1mple signs Liquid, s1mple now officially the best North American team
S1mple is going to destroy NA FPL lol
correction : ESL cologne is in July 8! will run to july 10th and all 3 days will be hosted in lanxess arena. Still, presumably it will be a major and the 3rd major presumably will be Dreamhack Stolkholm with a arena which can host 11,000 people.
Who knows maybe this s1mple kid could become a fantastic player in the future
He's going to lose it when he sees how bad Adren is.
If simple can get on navi next year or another top team he could be the markeloff of cs go
+Hari Harsen no
why xD?
+pcangeldust That's just a shadow.
+pelican you don't think s1mple can be as much of a star player as markeloff was in 1.6?
Na'Vi already have the best AWPer in CS:GO.
Holy shit you are quick=D
+Darude Sanddoge kappa
+Darude Sanddoge pre-record FailFish everyone knows simple to join Liquid
+Darude Sanddoge fairly obvious move not that unexpected for it to be so quick
+Darude Sanddoge that's what she said.
Thorin's got that goggle tan.
So, you nailed that intro. I'm crying.
s1mple is a funny and good guy, he rages, but has grown up and became a better player and person. Everyone rages in a competitive game, and when alot of money and fame is on the line i could see a younger player not being able to deal really well. Awesome analysis thorin! Keep it up man!
God damn you are too quick on this. they just announced it
was recorded last year. listen at 12:53
+Shawn Coleman can just be a mestake, its only the second today xD
He has contacts behind the scenes. He recorded it early.
+Shawn Coleman Illumernooty
+dank memer He recorded it early as he knows before we know
I'm excited to see him on Liquid. As long as egos don't get in the way it could work out very well.
I don't know how many times I replayed that ''being an absolute fucking monster'' - Lost count after 20 or so, but that was just epic :D
Is there any other person in any sport S1mple can be compared to other than Kobe and Jordan?
Also just noticed there is a 1080p option. Dope.
+CatnamedMittens “Michael Bialas” what's your profile avatar picture?I keep seeing that cat avatar all over the comment section of youtube
You are late. I am disappointed son
+ItsYakuza The thing is, it is always Bialas you are seeing, not just the avatar lmfao.
Yamin Alam ¨is he a wizard or something?
ItsYakuza It's actually from Battlefield 4's battlelog emblem creation. It was on a website that shared these emblems and not one chose this one so it became mine, and since I had the name "CatnamedMittens" I found it adorable and fitting since I like cats and videogames.
I think Thoorin is still gurning from New Years, @2.15 min was reall fire
love the alphadraft intros
Rewatching this after Columbus and Liquid's loss to Tyloo in dream hack. You nailed it Thorin
Best signing ever. Liquad in 1 major finale and 1 semi, almost winning the semi
absolutely love the NBA analogies
i watch your videos for the insight. most things about team mentality etc are on point. i only say most as i havent watched them all and wouldnt know if its all right. but all the points about mentality or how to get the most out of your players etc are applicable in every team atmosphere. thanks look forward to more.
had this one ready for a while :D
As someone from the NA region who is a fan of high level counter strike this is very exciting. I love watching s1mple play and seeing how he will integrate with NA players will be fun to watch.
kudos to TL for being the first NA team to pick up EU talent. (pyth isn't talent!)
Thorin's insight came to fruition again. S1mple is now NA GOD
#news1mple is best s1mple, can't wait what he brings to the table.
Great i cant wait to see s1mple eiher na hype my lads !
Watching this again in 2024 - you called it Thorin
NEW YEAR NEW THORIN AND A NEW SHIRT YES
You are the Simon Cowell of eSports.
And also I feel like even though s1mple is amazing, his playstyle of doing w/e he wants all the time will never put him equivalent or above olof, device etc. If he can listen to an IGL and become a team player and keep the skills he has now and improve on them he'll be number 1 this year
The s1mple vs Ska battles will be good for the NA scene.
azk he is the north american player but the titan he is the french stars
Intro game on point like always
S1mple is exactly following the steps of Bjergsen! i'm a bit excited for NA CS, hope they do better this year.
EUCS all the way baby.
I just watch these for the AlphaDraft ads mostly, and leave it going while I clean or something.
That low-key shot at Adren at the end lol
His personality might work in his favour, I can see him being the Doublelift of CSGO, absolutely insane mechanical player with a cocky personality, people would buy into that, not like they do in EU and CIS
+Tenshi You know doublelift only won 1 NA Qualifier and nothing else, right?
Doublelift has been playing in the NA LCS for fucking 3 years fairly sure mistaking him for someone else. Besides I'm not talking about his actual achievements, I'm talking about his persona, having a marketable persona is important in esports, gets you stream viewers and stuff, I'm saying that his personality may work in his favour that way, just like how Steel is basically the trick2g of CSGO
Nice, be careful to no be another ScreaM...
i watch these pure for the intro.
S1mple will slap liquid's coach gbjames for sure
s1mple hype train, hop aboard lads, I've been on it for a year
Liquid would be better off with him leading in his broken english than with adren
are you silver 1?
What's your point
+donutglazuur precisely
donutglazuur so you're trying to say adren is doing a good job at ingame leading ? are shitting me have you seen them play
dozens of EU people to recruit
he recorded it before today , proof at 12:53 , he says that simples ban is lifted "NEXT YEAR" which in fact is this year already.
high risk, high reward move.
makes NA more interesting immediately, even if to watch it blow up.
He completely forseen this. MLG Major Columbus. I really like s1mple. I think they got very good team chemistry, especially him and Hiko. I hope they beat Lumi or NaVi or maybe even get the title.
12:54 "Early next year" Ayyyy, when did you record this. Since when did knew s1mple was joining liquid?
these intros get me every time lol
Really detailed video, Thanks!
That intro was a verse from the book of Skrilla
I think thorin thinks aboud his alphadraft intro's all day long :D
does he sleep in this jacket too?
s1mple is the one of the only players who gets deagle shots because of pure skill and not just lucky shots
+Gapi P Like Happy
The Soul not really... even he claims that epic deagle ace was mostly about luck and that he didn't know where the players were
NiKo > s1mple
***** "not just lucky shots" like Happy
kardo saraiy By far and in every aspect
I have a feeling this is just gonna be GoSu Pepper move of CSGO.
Hiko had to have made this move since he played with him before. I can't wait to see him kill the NA scene online! I hope he will actually be a good player and teammate.
Those aviator lines lmfao!! X'D
6:40 - Thorin describes what most russians in mm are like.
S1mple удачи! жду не дождусь посмотреть тебя в новой тиме, и того как ты вообще с ними с играешься
He is such a good player. S1mple best player in NA already.
Hopefully it works out for Liquid, also wanna see s1mple playing FPL with dazed, steel and m0e lmao
hahahah xD
ABSOLUTE FUCKING MONSTER
Hey Thorin, Kobe had Phil Jackson too!
Good move for both parties
Hoooly shit I just watched some replayed and he is so fucking good, I totally get he Thorin says that he's the best.
fantastic banter
thorin called s1mple and adren clashing top analysis m8
Imagine if Team Liquid dug real deep in their pockets and bought pronax ( -adren ). Why i think this would work is because s1mple as a young guy needs someone like pronax who won everything there is. I believe he would respect him more then adren. If adren makes a mistake i just hope he doesnt blow up.
+Marko golijanin i immediately thought about this too
Asshole I know pronax wouldn't join that's why i said ''Imagine''.
Arden is one of the smartest players in NA. He doesn't make bad calls (top igl imo) he's just a shit awper
+The Johnky He is a shit player all around. We all know what happend in flipside where blade was an IGL. Blade is also really good IGL but simple couldnt understand why does he make mistakes.
+Marko golijanin you'll see how good his rifling actually is. He was picked up by ibp for rifling - not awning.
liquid to beat fnatic at katowice 2016, and cologne 2016, and memehack
na>eu confirmed.
if you reply to this comment regardless of what you say, you agree.
my baby is dead
Oliver Thomas Barron glad to know you agree
Niether og those are confirmed to be majors, ID you didnt know.
+Orange Cactus if*
Orange Cactus they literally all are lol
Katowice colonge and cluj
s1mple is now the ultimate smurf. he is playing in NA.
Liquid > c9 in 2016? Gonna be a great year
+delatroy Liquid are better anyway
whole video is great! watched it all. Kappa
+Nabil Hakim that shit went over your head real quick haha
+Nabil Hakim You see the Kappa? It is a joke m88
Lmao edited the comment xD
+Nabil Hakim wooosh
For a second I thought Thorin said Kobe was top 2 alltime, was about to X out of this video instantly.
Quick question: Would the language barrier be an issue, or does S1mple speak good english?
na's last hope comes from the ukraine...
Ah, damn I'll have to change my top 5 teams in 2016 list now..
+EvilPepperoni Ah, nevermind it's Liquid lol
Guardian is a complete player as well.
Maybe they'll have the skill, but dealing with s1mple's personality is going to be hard. Hopefully it lasts, but I doubt it will.
simple is gonna look good in dark blue, kinda was tired of seeing him in bright yellow, green and red kiddie colors
Once on stream he said "One bullet kills from now on" and literally 1 shot kills 3 people 3 rounds in a row
I mean. If he were to be in a good team then the teammate consistency wouldn't be an issue
Where did you get that jumper from Dunc? Pretty fly.
All simple needs is a competent team
I honesty think that Liquid should drop s1mple... And also hiko. If they pick up flowsick and hunden they have a big chance of going top 5
+The Johnky LOL have you watched Hiko, this guy is a fucking beast. Flowsick played with them before and he did not show up
S1mple is just insane
you need to learn your cs knowledge
you r underating adren you'll see
It looks like he has had been wearing some pilot glasses in the sun
I've been a s1mple fanboy since forever, so I guess I'm a Liquid fanboy now?
Simple he is the Ukranian player but Liquid he is the NA stars
would you compare s1mple with Doublelift in terms of the impact on a team and the overall mentality?
such dank Liquid #1 NA/EU
"He eviscerates them, its too much." LMAO
lets see how they go it will give na fpl a boost . when they start getting destoryed by s1mple they might start trying.. i think adren is under pressure now more then ever. and if he doesnt preform he will get replaced . dont know who by EU player maybe
MUST WATCH. NOW
In my opinion the BEST pickup for tsm would easly be someone like simple or guardian, in my opinion device shouldent awp and i do not think he is up there with olofmesiter in terms of awping. I never said to my self holy shit that awp shot is insane when device gets a kill with it, literally all awp shoots he does is from standard angels and not difficult shots at all and i think there is many people in the world that arent even pro could make.

If he would have been on a top team he would i think, maybe could have been the best player of the year. Just raw skillwise he is i think better than olofm and guardian
The na hope is alive again.
I have a feeling this will be a bad move, but at the same time, I'm rooting for America all the way, so I wont exactly be upset if I'm wrong.
