I love the thoughts that Tim had regarding his family and how they supported him during his career. It's the kind of stuff that doesn't get talked about enough. Great interview, can't wait for part 2.
the content is actually getting ridiculous at this point how has he not slowed down i started highschool when i was watching thorin and already well out of uni and THE WHOLE TIME HE WAS JUST WARMING UP?
Autimatic, my favorite CS player of all time. Such a calm, cool, collected guy with major impact (no pun intended). 38:04 - Auti did win another event after the major with Gen.G (DreamHack Anaheim 2020)
This is one of the best episodes of Reflections. Really enjoyed his perspective and insight on previous teammates. Also I was hoping to see him pick the awp back up since he came back to CS, but now I'm just hoping he stays in the game irregardless. But he'll find success anywhere, hes a legend.
This was an incredible interview. Tim is such a thoughtful player and gives such good insight into his career and just being an esports pro in general in this. part 2 is really good too and everyone should watch it.
To autimatic’s point regarding stew’s anti-strats, I was instantly reminded of the RPK nades on silo on Nuke A site. That was such an awesome map to watch due to how interesting the strat was.
When Auti is discussing his relationship with Tarik ad Valens the term Stoicism comes to mind. That and comparisons to NAF were constant, although as a NAFfa, I'm a little biased, still it gave me a little more respect for Auti. Also Shox comes to mind with the Valens part, depends on the angle one takes. (Shoxie ironically idolised by NAF to complete the circle)
So sad it didnt work out with the awp. You are in my list for most underrated players. I was hyped back then when you switched to the awp. It was the right call
My favorite CS player. Sad to see he got robbed of a good team when he was hitting his peak. Had he been on good teams from 2018-2019, he would've been on the same level as NAF, and I've held that opinion since 2018.
That C9 lineup with flusha was so interesting but had SO many out of game issues. I think they could have been a really solid top 10 team but probably needed one more hard fragger to be a true top team.
c9 boston major winnders...the legendary NA team...good times.. watching it live gave me so much goosebumps and joys...too bad they broke up right after... They could have gone so much further with that perfect chemistry...
He's one of the most well spoken and interesting guests I've ever seen on reflections. Compare Ethan to this it's crazy. No disrespect either I'm just saying.
I remember thorin saying after c9 won the boston major that it was a fluke and they only won due to a choke.. i hate the fake act he always does when in the presence of the people he actually has talked shit on in a way and when they're there he acts like he never stated any such thing😂 fake ass
Autimatic I played source with you back in the day when you were 13. I remember commenting on your profile because of how good you were lol. I miss de_contra/russka/mill. Good times.
The frequency of these interviews with high-profile personalities is insane. Combined with the quality? Unreal.
It's true, I'm just worried about what will happen when S1mples career is over. Watching Thorinn with baited breath nowdays 😉
What Major will we see Thorin again?
S+++ tier journalism no doubt
Such a humble dude for what he’s accomplished that’s a real living legend
I love the thoughts that Tim had regarding his family and how they supported him during his career. It's the kind of stuff that doesn't get talked about enough. Great interview, can't wait for part 2.
has to be one of the wisest guests ever on reflections in my opinion. great work in allowing the wisdom to flow from the fountain
This is one of the best interviews i’ve ever seen from a pro. Fantastic video
the content is actually getting ridiculous at this point how has he not slowed down i started highschool when i was watching thorin and already well out of uni and THE WHOLE TIME HE WAS JUST WARMING UP?

came here for flusha, stayed for autimatic
Haha. Same!
25:00 was my favorite part of this interview. That’s such a great perspective to think about. Thanks Thorin!
The parts about family and mentality are genuinely some of the best I've heard from esports players.
He always struck me as an introspective person, great interview.
Please dont leave us Auti 😭😭😭
I love it when a competitor gives insightful answers on the mental side of their game. Auti and Thorin went hard on this one.

tim you and stewie were always my favs man, you brought na so much joy bro we will never forget it

what is this insane streak of interviews
I fucking love Tim dude, legend.
And ofc you to thorin, GOD
Thorin has been on his goat run these last few months the
The family portion is dope. Love it.
bro can't miss with these interviews, banger releasing every other day
Finally we get to listen to autimatic speak his mind. Always wondered how the team dynamic was back in cloud 9
best ingame name, best hair and the most well-spoken NA-player, gotta love autimatic.

so many highi profile cs/valorant players are coming to u for reflections, shows ur the historian
The contrast between chaotic Thorin and calm Autimatic is so funny
i love you thorin thank you for making interview with my all time favorite player
great interview! He's so mature.
Hope to see him stick to cs
Always a pleasure listening to this guy. So well-spoken
So sad it didnt work out with the awp. You are in my list for most underrated players. I was hyped back then when you switched to the awp. It was the right call
It make's me tear up hearing what your parents did for you despite how they felt about it. Good shit man. I know you made it up to them.
Is the title suggesting flusha is a smart intuitive player or that he was a cheater 🤔
😂
Watch and find out lol
@@MusicJunkie37 👍
man was the knower of all times
That he’s a smart intuitive player. Many pros have said he has some of the best game sense in the game.
The segment about the parents 😭😭😭
Man shoutout to autimatic for bringing back the counter strike source nostalgia in the start
I genuinely can't keep with these interviews lol
whats funny is when hes talking about tarik saying "i shouldve gotten two" tarik really thinks hes gonna kill 5 at the start of every round lmao
Great questions from Thorin as always and even better answers from Autimatic
My favorite CS player. Sad to see he got robbed of a good team when he was hitting his peak. Had he been on good teams from 2018-2019, he would've been on the same level as NAF, and I've held that opinion since 2018.
45:30 I burst out laughing LOL. I think I know why Thorin laughed: he had so much information on the opponents because he cheated LOLL 😂.
LMAOO
hE cHeaTEd lol 🤦🏻
@@smOOdiebOOdie I explained the joke, I did not claim that he actually cheated.
That C9 lineup with flusha was so interesting but had SO many out of game issues. I think they could have been a really solid top 10 team but probably needed one more hard fragger to be a true top team.
Yo, where is dazed though? His streams got me back into CS.
Wish there was a discussion of masq
been watching this guy do high quality interviews since i was 16, now at 26 the mf seems like he's just ramping up.
Man I loved Auto’s perspective on life specially in an Asian household. I relate so much and it’s fforting
auti was a real one
suprised by how good at communicating autimatic is. I usually expect pros to be poor communicators but happily proved wrong here.
You can see why everyone thinks so highly of this dude. The NA & CS scene will be worse off without him, I hope he sticks around.
autimatic top 3 favorite cs player all time (huge NA bias)
flusha segment starts at 43:57
amazing
this guy is amazing
Am I the only person who liked autimatic on the AWP? I thought he was really popping off on Gen.G and he was very reliable.
my goat
Nice!
And now Tarik is leading the whole of Valorqnt xD
Apparently Tim was just seen scrimming with MxS Valorant Team 👀
c9 boston major winnders...the legendary NA team...good times.. watching it live gave me so much goosebumps and joys...too bad they broke up right after... They could have gone so much further with that perfect chemistry...
If Liquid had a brain he would ve been their 5 th instead of skullz
Timothy "100%" Ta
floosha hacker ?
How you gonna start off with Dazed, who's been MIA forever, and it be a Thorin interview lmao.
Easy to know tendencies when your staring at them through a wall /s
He's one of the most well spoken and interesting guests I've ever seen on reflections. Compare Ethan to this it's crazy. No disrespect either I'm just saying.
cheers
Interview with GOATWOO When will he come? 😭😭💔
miss dazed
how old is that dazed intro clip?
I always liked autimatic awping
auTIMatic, Stewie2k, KennyS, Flusha, ______.
EliGE or n0thing
Why is thorin saying shox was the zywoo of source two. I watched him on go and dude was a bot how tf is he zywoo
Anyone know what Dazed is up to?
Hes a chef at a rubios
You know?
stewie2k to BIG
Bald
Flusha "knew" hahahahah what a joke, the guy was cheating 10000% that's why after the banwave (KQLY) he could NEVER GO BACK to top tier form. :D
He was top 5 in 2015 n top 10 in 2016. Way after Kqly ban
Not hard to know 'tendencies' when you are blatantly cheating. flusha cheated at the highest level, and he wasn't the only one.
I remember thorin saying after c9 won the boston major that it was a fluke and they only won due to a choke.. i hate the fake act he always does when in the presence of the people he actually has talked shit on in a way and when they're there he acts like he never stated any such thing😂 fake ass
Go watch his video he made after they won , he gives props to them and says they had to beat tough teams to get to the final then credits them
Autimatic I played source with you back in the day when you were 13. I remember commenting on your profile because of how good you were lol. I miss de_contra/russka/mill. Good times.
