    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.

  • @Smittz
    @Smittz Před 6 lety +3

    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

    Why is Stewie2k talking so often in the third person about himself?

  • @bobbycritz
    @bobbycritz Před 6 lety +2

    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.

  • @awave1
    @awave1 Před 6 lety

    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.)

    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

      @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.
