Him being a dick is not news, previously he just kept it on twitter. Now someone equally stupid decided to settle things face to face and DH had to react.

Yeah I just wait until the match starts. I like Thorin on YouTube, but Thorin at events is unbearable from the 10 total minutes of pre-game I've watched. It's just interrupting co-analysts, shitting on NA CS which gets really old because he does it out of context.
Richard: How do you guys think EnVyUs fairs against Fnatic on Dust 2
Thorin: A lot better than NA eh *desperately looks for approval*
Nah he's also at fault. He called a guy out and then gets upset when that guy answers the callout. Basically this
r/GlobalOffensive is full of children. Children are highly susceptible to be fanboys and turn anything into a fanboy war. This incident basically comes down to Dota vs CS and RLewis is their guy while Loda is some pleb that competes in 3 million dollar majors.

What?
Rlewis could've diffused this whole situation, instead this 30 something year old man decided to be an internet tough guy.
*edit* His twitter timeline is a goldmine right now.

Most people are able to avoid drama, I guess Richard is just cursed. Him being a huge cunt probably has nothing to do with it AT ALL.
Yeah, what I meant was I don't think RL was the one that made it physical. RL is obviously the one who started the whole thing though.
Obviously? RL made a joke about Hiko's mom (even Kelly took it as a joke about Hiko's mom) and then Kelly claimed RL ruined Hiko's life for a year. I don't see how RL started it. Both parties ofc had numerous chances to stop the situation from escalating. But they didn't because this is the 5th grade.
lewis insulted either hiko or this dude loda's gf (i dont really get it) and loda told him he wanted to talk, lewis said hed be backstage and essentially to come at him. loda went backstage (he wasnt supposed to be) and got up in lewis's face. apparently, lewis proceeded to strangle him until he was pulled off.
lewis was angry dh security didnt stop loda from getting backstage and is unsure hell ever do a dh event again. thinks hes somehow vital to any event
I haven't liked the Lewis / Thorin 'banter' for quite some time. It's super childish and just seems to be done in order to be controversial or offensive rather than contributing to the actual presentation and certainly doesn't improve the quality of the overall product.
I mean, Lewis made a dick and balls joke within a minute of the stream starting for DH.
So. Meh.
Note: also Thorin's misandry tweets either yesterday or last night were... something.

Only recently been really following the pro scene and been watching quite a few matches on YT. I was wondering, since I'm completely unfamiliar with the names, who is this American commentator?

Lol these stupid GeT_RiGhT to Cloud 9 rumors are still front paging on Reddit months later.
I don't know why NA fans wanna see a Legend like GeT_RiGhT enter a retirement home so early into his career. He won't be able to lurk much when Freakazoid dies trying to entry, Skadoodle gets picked off after playing the same angle with the AWP for the 10th time in a map, and Shroud underperforms at a LAN once again.

right? how ironic
I really need to ask. Why do you even pretend to be a NiP fan when you never watched them when they were actually good

I don't like NiP because of their skill or how well they place, I like NiP because of the players and the personality, and the way they play the game. Those 12-4 to 13-16 finishes are always so exciting to watch. Whether they actually win the match doesn't change the fact that when they make those comebacks and have all their close games, it exciting and fun to watch.
Plus all the players are just so nice, fun supporting a team where it seems like all 5 players are actually friends and actually have fun playing the game. Makes them seem relatable. They're just a team I naturally find myself wanting to root for, I never care when they lose, being underdogs or favorites. Except when they lost against Na'Vi, that was genuine disappointment because man... That was their chance to win a major again lol, and they choked so hard. But whatever.
If I based my favorites on skill, NiP wouldn't be my favorite, Fnatic would probably be my favorite.
Also, question for the older CSGO fans, did Fifflareen suck on NiP back when he was their 5th? I keep seeing people say Fiffy wasn't very good, lol.
he was never a spectacular player, but he wasnt as useless as he was for the months before he retired

Trolling so fucking hard.
1. Every team makes comebacks though. NiP Magic isn't even much of a thing anymore, back when they were going to grand finals of every major it was.
2. Fiff was terrible. He knows he was terrible, just because they won back then doesn't mean much. Different circumstances, such as friberg not being a bot, GTR still arguably one of the best players in the game, Xizt not being EU valens. Competition was also much weaker. France was divided up into three teams and talent was just spread out among teams.

lol they actually updated the site just now to do that.
This is a massive troll lol.
I just can't imagine that would be legit, I imagine the NiP org would be furious if Cloud9 did that with ACTUAL intent of adding in GTR. This is practically announcing GTR is leaving NiP, would would look terrible for the org.
Heh, they know how to work the community.
france did have verygames who were definite contenders during nip's reign, and it was a miracle it took fnatic so long to beat nip imo

If my favorite player joined one of my most disliked orgs, I'd have to save face so fast lol.Speedy is just in denial
Guys I owned a Cloud9 shirt all along.
Freakazoid is just as good at Entry Fragging as Friberg.

Meh LGB were imo the second best Swedish team until they failed to get that Alliance deal and disbanded. Even though Fnatic won the first major, they struggled hard after that.
i think im just biased because i was a fan of fnatic during the transition to csgo so you may be right
remind me which lgb roster youre talking about- the olof/dennis/krimz/twist/i dont remember one?

i'll add it to the server. it's probably wank.
rpk vs nbk is a huge difference if you ask me but they are like 10x worse than they were under the vg banner a couple years ago i agree (scream was also good then)
youre right about cype tho
Honestly I wish I had a bro in my life like Freak to help me get in shape.
He's an okay entry, plus there is something to be said for having a personality guy.
cype retired after krimz and olof got poached im fairly certain. maybe he main team hopped for a couple seasons, idk. his career was dead after lgb collapsed.
