1/13 predictions in a tournament as analyst who would win ? He said that NAVI need someone like S1mple and more or less was right decision for NAVI to sign him and now they are ready for top 3 rank? How gently favors overdogs all the time ? You want more ?

So thorin should've predicted that valve will change the coaching rules???

So thorin because of Valve new rules couldnt predict LIVE the results of that big tournament and had 1/13 predictions as an analyst from groups to finals ? Or coaching rules has anything to do with his opinion of S1mple in NAVI means winning in majors?

No? "He said that NAVI need someone like S1mple and more or less was right decision for NAVI to sign him and now they are ready for top 3 rank?" They needed someone like s1mple... most talented player from cis, they didnt win any finals with zeus and starix would've been calling for them

2017-08-18 13:32

An analyst tries to predict the most likely outcome of a game based on pre game knowledge. If he fails predicting he is not a bad analyst. You are just mad bc you lost money betting based on his predictions or something.

2017-08-18 15:21

An analyst is good analyst when analyzing everything in a way that is on spot !! He at that specific tournament, WHATEVER THE FOOK he was saying few minutes before match was about to start was not only wrong fron analysis perspective in the end but outcome was the opposite as well. 1/13 as an analyst ? Really ?

You are just dumb sry

Dumb was thorins analystic skills telling everyone that with S1mple in navi in place of Zeus, NAVI would be a major winner. And look all places with S1mple in team instead of Zeus. Thats what i call dumb and keep following Thorin all i care. Facts are facts.

2017-08-18 21:53

YOU ARE SO DUMB. Back then Zeus was playing like shit while starix could IGL as a coach. A few weeks after the change Valve chNged the coaching rules and the whole team was fucked with seized igling. You dont know shit so stop pretending. Brining in simple for zeus back then was the best thing that could have happened for NaVi

2017-08-19 14:00

You are being so dumb stupid !!! 1/13 and lets say Zeus indeed was playing like shit, which he wasnt that bad in the first place but lets say he did. DID S1mple made NAVI champions or made them far worse ?! Because the results i see NAVI have with s1mple in team and without zeus are the WORSE in a while !! And after those results what THORIN the master analyst has to say ? Nothing!! Because he was the one was talking about him and how NAVI will end up major champions with S1mple in team. Those are facts, not opinion.

2017-08-19 19:01

Who actually cares about predictions? Also, so what? Prediction picks doesn't mean you are a bad analyst, and BTW Navi DID need S1mple, they just had no proper caller. Now they have. If you seriously believe that this is enough to prove me wrong, you're deluded. It is nowhere near enough. 998 more reasons then?

2017-08-18 18:30

Analysts! When analyst analyzing strenghts and weaknesses of teams, players, maps and he comes with an outcome ... and he is 1/13 in a whole tournament. What he is analyzing as what will happen and then what he says ends up being the OPPOSITE of what really happens 13 matches in a row .. ANALYST my ass

2017-08-18 18:36

that doesnt make him good there are people who have been playing for like 10 years but are no where near as good as twistzz whos been playing for 2 years

2017-08-18 12:14

MAH BOY THOORIN #0-7

2017-08-18 00:23

2017-08-18 04:39

Thorin :) But why not Pansy or Semmler

2017-08-18 08:34

THORIN :( NOOOOOOOOO

2017-08-18 08:29

He is so fucking boring... YNK is boring too but still better

2017-08-18 17:48

Spunj = best analyst

2017-08-18 17:58

I agree

why -ReDeYe

2017-08-18 00:29

Knows nothing about CS and on panels he often cuts off people who do. Machine knows more yet he still keeps quiet and lets the experts speak.

2017-08-18 01:00

"knows nothing about cs" lmao

2017-08-18 01:48

Wut? Redeye has been around for years, and he is a great host

2017-08-18 02:36

He's been intermittently around for a while but he does a lot of dota 2, we haven't seen him around in CS much until PGL, where he didn't have much to add to the panel.

2017-08-18 10:22

Wrong, he has hosted on many cs events

2017-08-18 12:25

Less than half as many as machine.

2017-08-18 15:26

But machine was a commentator in 5/6 of the events he attended. And Redeye doesnt need to know much. He knows enough to fill the gap of knowledge about cs with his skills as a host. He is super good at keeping a conversation going and giving the people at the desk enough time to talk as well as interviewing players post game

2017-08-18 15:35

I find machine more interesting, hypes things up more then redeye and seems to be more flowing.

2017-08-18 15:00

YES THOORIN!

Spunj > Thorin m8

RIP HR :(

Machine as a commentator??? I did not know that he did that.

actually pretty much all the iconic caster reactions i can remember are either from anders or machhine

2017-08-18 01:23

Yeah. I only watched csgo casually until late 2015. I think after that machine has done mostly desk hosting.

2017-08-18 01:28

lol newfag

2017-08-18 01:24

Id 713k... signed up last year and yet i'm a newfag... oh but don't worry, i'm sure you have a 10 year old avcount that you forgot the details to... asshat.

2017-08-18 01:26

nah never been a member of this site.. never had a reason to have an account here :) just made it to ask a few csgo related questions.. Machine has been a commentator for so long.. he started to do desk hosting in late late 2016.. if you have been long follower of the csgo scene you should know that he is a commentator.. ps.. you do know you can follow the pro scene without an HLTV account right? (been following it since early 1.6)

Thats the thing. I never really took a real interest until late 2015, and even then i didn't really care about the commentators obviously.

and theres the reason why you are a newfag :) lol.. Commentators are one of the thing one watches the pro scene.. they make it all much funnier and more enjoyable..

2017-08-18 01:34

Rather be a newfag than an asshole :)

2017-08-18 02:48

thorin always makes events better

2017-08-18 02:59

Nice to finally see rizc returning to high-level casting after sort of fading away for a few years. I know some people don't like him because they think he's brainless, but he's so excitable that it always makes for a great cast

2017-08-18 03:20

Machine - Commentator Hell yeah.

2017-08-18 03:53

HenryG + Machine = OOOOH FALLEN STOP BLOWING MAH MIND

2017-08-18 06:08

Yes, bring back lurppis and thorin, they actually care to analize, also from players perspective and not afraid of being critical. Not just hyping little fags favourite players/teams, deal with it

2017-08-18 06:25
