He wasn't performing b4 because his teammates didn't sleep with him
Jack Mosher to be honest how could you expect him to perform if they don’t
That’s the reason ShrouD wasn’t cut
TRUE TEAMPLAY
Tim is like a combination of the mellowness of Skadoodle and the savagery of Stewie2K
So true
Tim is a really intelligent guy and seems like a really nice dude.
It would sure help if he could stop using 'like' almost 4 times per sentence though
j4ckie_ its not script man hes just going with the flow
once you notice it, you can't go back.
It's really anoying now. Like I'm not able to ignore it anymore. Like for real man. Like cmon
j4ckie_ he used it once dumbass
love how honest tim was here, gave us great insight how it was for him and in his teams at different points of his career. ty for this video thoorin and im looking forward to the next one
One of the most interesting Talk to Thorin's I have ever watched. Im a C9 fan so that definitely played into it. I thought the questions were what we have come to love about this channel, always extremely well thought out and interesting. I also thought Automatic was very candid in his responses. Its easy to love a guy who looks inward and is reasonable when answering, but someone who does that often times has a hard time pointing out others flaws in these situations and I feel like he did that extremely well too.
its auTIMatic
The sound and video quality of both cams is surprisingly good. I love how chill he always is. A go-to model imo
Agree. Autimatic is the definition of a model pro
surprised at the quality of Tim’s headset mic
REFLECTIONS WITH TAZ PLEASE THORIN
it really is something that would make a big interesting interview.
keep up the work man, i love your videos !
Autimatic dropped straight fire facts
This was a really good and insightful interview. Good questions and good answers.
1:03:22 Stew and Tarik have a good friendship... And relationship as well. R E V E L A T I O N S
One of my favorite content creators and one of my favorite players! Love the content about NA
came across this on autoplay again, still holds up as an amazing inverview, tim is so candid here, its really refreshing
lak wad duh hell where is my maddafakkin boooosack nooodle i order for faaaiihundred dollars! faaaiihundred
U ok?
looks like someone is a love criminal virgin 😌
SuperstituM Bruh I’m so surpised to see your comment this far down.
LETS GO TIM!
Love you Duncan! Reflections with Yung Stew someday?
Andrew Le or stewie just doesnt do this interviews i have never seen him do this kind of interviews
@@thanhan13 he certainly was right about Elige.
Paul Miller we got it :D
Mad respect for you Thorin, always good content
my favourite player right now. hype hype hype
Justin Trudeau would be upset with this title. It's Journey-person.
Alex Y Ayy Lmao
well that was dramatic
"destroyed Canada" How delusional can you be
lmao he stated that it was an inappropriate joke get over it
But he’s CIS Asian man
I honestly really like this guy... Inside the game he's already insane and completely nutty (and he absolutely deserved that MVP award when they beat SK in the EPL Final, in front of THEIR own home-crowd in Brazil ----which was totally sick, btw--- the last kill in the game was from him and it was literally a 2000 IQ play he made to kill Coldzera on cat, it was genius!)
So anyways, as I established, he's actually really sick. But outside of the game, he's actually really cool.. Y'all keep calling him a robot because of how he talks or expresses himself emotionally during conversation. He's a little monotonous in his tone, but it's just because he's calm as hell. I've seen a lot of people choke up even just on interviews and they act all cringey, etc. More importantly, it's super obvious that he lied about literally nothing that was discussed here. That might not be "that" crazy, whatever sure. But think about all the assholes out there that take a basic story about something that happened to them, or their team or someone on another, etc. Think about how much they embellish every last detail of the story in order to make it funnier, over-the-top dramatic, more shocking, more sad or angry, or worst of all, fixing the details of their story to cast the blame on someone else when it comes to why their team lost against a Tier - 72 team that's never actually played CS:GO ever, because they're actually a Yu-Gi-Oh team that decided to try it out together and -- OH WAIT, SHIT -- they actually beat your shitty team! Then the drama and blame game starts. Or worse, their team actually wins something and it's all about why "we're the best" and how the competition was top-notch, totally amazing and they won. omggggg so kewl.
Tim is the exact opposite of this. He wins and still says there's a world out there where they should have lost because the other team just wasn't feeling it that day. He admits to when he was playing like shit instead of blaming anyone else (unless it was an IGL not setting him up correctly, because he would be right there). He also admits to being totally different before. He wasn't born a saint. The reason his head is on straight is because he learned over time what to do/say and what not to do/say and he ADMITTED to being a douchy and toxic before, but he actually decided to make himself better, both to and for his teammates. He really cares about being a good TEAMMATE first, not someone that needs the spotlight constantly. Ya love to see this. Keep up the good work and stay humble, my friend. Been a fan of yours for a while now and now i'm just a bigger one. Push just a little harder Tim... and become the star of this team.... You can do this, 100% bruh. Stay humble and keep owning. You're a REAL fucking allstar, based on how you been playing dude! Fuckin, keep that sit up dude! CONGRATS! :D
love this talk, appreciate you getting him on here Thorin!
Say what you want about Thorin, he is an incredible interviewer and knows how to define a question and put the guest's words in context. He also knows how to follow up and provide historical context that people tend to forget.
I’m pretty sure tarik said on stream that before they left for Cloud 9 it was actually the Optic guys who were trying to get Elige into Optic, but the org wouldn’t pay the buy out for him.
Tim and Thorin uses "like" four times per 10sec. So i liked this video.
Damn, that was candid as all hell. Great interview!
StewboaT yeah
Tim is really emotionally mature in this
I love autimatic plus he’s pretty nutty. He kinda does talk like a robot lol.
TheFiendRacer he has a bit of a monotone, guess it comes with his dry humor
A bit like stewie, awkward in front of the camera, monotone and not good with words
Thorin is the best content creator in the csgo scene, easily. Fucking great interview. I feel like every reflections that comes out makes the player he interviews my new favorite player.
Tim is a Deagle God
He is such a great guy.
this was a really interesting and enlightening interview to watch. Watched through the whole thing :) great stuff Tim and Thorin
Tbh I never knew Stew put in that much work. i've always loved him as a player but now knowing the amount of work he puts in makes me respect him so much more.
Its NTG what?
Its NTG actual video content lmao
Austin Smith
Well that was awkward lol
Retsam lmao
I really liked Autimatic this episode but also shoutout to Thorin for being a great listener. Always thought he was a great speaker but he's listening so intently to Autimatic.
Great interview. Glad to see Tim made it through the cesspool of egos.
Reflection with Ska plz
johnnycatR58 Would be cool but Ska would never do it
ska's not like that however i think it could be REALLY interesting
Great insight on his journey. thanks for the interview!
we on that fuck hiko season
auti is bae.
this was actually really enjoyable to watch, great stuff ♥
great interview!
No idea how I've missed it.
He sounds pretty monotonous and „airheady“ at first, but his answers are incredibly interesting.
Stewie is the airhead lol, he rubbed off on tim
Very interesting talk. Autimatic was relatively good in expressing what he thought - he seemed a bit tired though. I think tarik would also be a good person to interview.
"Reflections: Stewart2000" coming soon? :) Winky face
Like, like, like, like.... when u start noticing the fact autimatic always says ”like” u can’t unhear it!
Pelloo Im glad i saw this comment after the video 😂
It’s a west coast thing. I’m guilty of it myself. I’m used to it enough not to notice it though haha
Valture Felt hahah good for you!
God dammit.
I watched the whole interview
Great video love how you keep them relevant
ah hell yea, autimatic is my favorite playerr
I imaging thorin asking himself who he want's to invite for this interview from c9. Autimatic probable the best choise :D
good interview
Why is Stewie2k talking so often in the third person about himself?
At half a minute through the third minute, Autimatic mentioned his time in TSM with SicK and Twistzz and how they were inexperienced (arguably similar to Autimatic himself at that time) and they all branched to other teams where they excelled and became NA stars. So perhaps its not so much the ides that they were inexperienced which they were, they were just as a team not in their best positions to excel. Sure you can go and see where these three players do their best work and see if that kind of apex synergy was possible but it's just a concept to toss up. Just another thing to think of and expand. Yeah it makes sense but it's still a topic you can develop. And yeah obviously this video is focusing on Auti and not Twistzz or SicK but it's a topic.
I really liked this interview
loooool hiko thought tim wasnt mature enough to be playing on fuckin nihlum.... major champ what up now @hiko
Brendan Dempsey hiko ain’t do much of shit now
Brendan Dempsey Hiko chokes at match point. Tim makes a comeback
*HiKo:* Don't at me!
What does 3 years ago have to do with now?
If he's too much of a bitch to tell hiko to fuck off when he was messing with him then hiko was right.
great interview
Thooorin you beautiful uk ginger happy valentine my man
PROFESSOR CHAOSSSS
down to earth chill guy
solid deagle player
also am i the only one that sees him tilt his head to click his neck all the time, watch cloud 9 games and you will see what i mean
TR0JAN exe no you are not. Go watch Vital CSGOs video about Cloud9's journey in the major and he shows Tim doing it there.
Damn they should have these types of interviews for basketball and shit
I felt like tim was forgetting the questions being asked
Zlatan Wizard he gave some weird answers. He seemed to miss the point of many of the questions. Not as articulate as I thought he would be.
WondeR
it's hard to answer super on topic when you have other relevant stuff to say
Great video but like in the reflections with kennys the volume of your voice is lower then the player you are interviewing.Could you somehow balance it out, because it is hard to listen it this way on the phone.
talk to Thorin with snakislaw would be awesoome
11:32 Thorin
i fucking loved this video
id like to see one stewie but i dont think that would happen
from what ive gathered thoorin doesn't rate him to highly. it would also be cool if he did one with taz and or maybe pasha
Rekkless EU Pretty sure Thoorin does rate stewie. Don't know where you are getting that idea from.

1:17:46 that was one of the biggest 4Head moment in the major
Now that’s it’s behind them and it didn’t ruin them, they should’ve claimed it was tactical
hahaha Thorin with the Hiko cap when filming tarik
im sorry but thorin couldnt be more far off in his intro, maybe he drifted from team to team (not due to his skill but more just because of the NA scene...teams dont stay together very long typically) but auti was known to be a cs prodigy back in css days but his parents wanted him to focus on school. finally he graduated and in csgo he was one of the top adr guys on each team he was on. maybe people didnt hype him up when talking about him, but hes always been a player with star potential, one of the players i always hoped would end up on a top team! (hell yeah c9 is back!) source: played css on esea back in the day and remember the whispers about this guy, had the privilege to scrim against him also.
(if people were saying these things about him, it was probably just because THEY wanted the spotlight and were AFRAID that autimatic would get in their way, or to some personal friction.)
awaveawaveawave teams dont stay very long typically? Wut?if he was dat dude with star potential he would have easily stayed with tsm he fukking peaked when he was on c9 it was not because na teams dont stay very long but because of personal issues and the style auti had to find in a team and pros literally fukking spew shit to auti thats why he is a journeyman
I like Csgo
same
Billy Hashbrown I like turtles. 🐢
cod>csgo
Dead game
11:10 Auti is basically describing Coldzera.
man.. seems like na cs was all about their egos back in the day.
Tom Whitney EGO CS
CS eGO
Take a bong rip every time tim says ‚like‘
You want us to die or something?! xD
Typo in descripton "journeyman"
What if Thorin is a sleeper CSGO player that is actually a god at the game.
I think tim is Californian becuase he say like ALOT
Weird stereotype but ur right lol, tim and stew are from Cali
The background of the autimatic and Stewie2K bromance
bring back the time tags so I can listen to the topics I want pleaseeeeeeeeeee turinnnnnnnnn
what hiko did?
*LIKE*
1:03:23 both a good friendship and relationship KappaPride
Reflections with Taz (and s1mple as well plz dad)
Please do one with Jks :)
that moment when thorin remembers who your teammates were and not you
Reflections with Jake Yip
Reflections with.... scroll the fuck up and watch it.
saddens me hes gone...
And hes gonna be back 👀
If anything Hiko seems to be the immature one after all the things that came out about him being a troll in practice. Never heard anyone doing it apart from him.
time tags?
Interview with xizt please?
Talk about deficio's freelance shoutcasting :)
Loveya
Where's hiko now?? Hmmmm
Auti is a great player, but he rly needs to rotate quicker. i would totally blame the loss on Mirage vs FaZe on him as he was still top mid while his team was B almost geting rekd.. ofc they didnt lose it though but if they did, i would give him full reasoning to it happening
autimatic
only one side of the story but this doenst make hiko shine in a great light
yea...and where is Hiko now?...karma I I guess hah
hiko was all hype. hes a shit player and he will remain being shitty in some rogue ass dumb fucked up team. get fucked hiko never liked him? "INSANE HUMAN REACTION" anybody can do that even i do that on a daily come at me.
@susukkang There was a good while where hiko was THE best player in NA. He's not great anymore but he used to be legitimately good.
susukkang you definitely don't hit flicks like that everyday if ever lmao
Hiko is the new bully, freakazoid is free
Don’t let this from forgetting that OpTic died for this
worth it, one of the top 3 had to die
How many times can Tim say Like? Haha I'm only 5 minutes in.
can we get a "like" counter
It must take a perfect mix of personality and role to make this kid happy...
Wheres KnG ?
