Why Olofmeister Can't Retire
Vložit
- čas přidán 8. 09. 2024
- As a two-time major winner and a major MVP, olofmeister has accomplished what most players can only dream of.
olof is one of the most beloved Counter-Strike players of all time -- and has been a a crucial part of some iconic plays, and some controversial ones, throughout his career.
Over the past few years though, he has been trying to step away from the game -- but no matter how many times olof leaves, CS can’t seem to let him go.
So, why does everyone get so excited to see olofmeister come back over and over?

Olof is like that cop in movies who has retired but agency still calls him for 1 last mission
Bad boys for life ?
lmao that's a good comparison
Mind blowing comparisons!
the latest james bond movie
@@user-zw1op6nz5d Olof Bond
Admit it, you hadn't got a chance to feature Olofboost in a video for a while, so you did a whole video on Olofmeister just to get a chance to show it to us again.
They are probably gonna release another one about coldzera just to showcase the jumping double
And also using other CZcamsrs clips without consent
Lol
@@creamzen4107 any proof u got of this. And I mean not 2 sec clips
SMITHZ LOOKING CONFUSED AND DAZED
As a caster once said when Olof blocked bullets with his body : OLOF YOU HERO
Cheers Jeff
It was on nuke right ?
@@prince_9599 Yes. B site saving Niko's life before he left for G2
“olof you hero, you took bullets for niko. and that’s exactly what .......”
The fact that Olof is still consistent to this day is mind-boggling.
very different from NA players like Elige. I dont want to admit it but its true. Elige is pretty inconsistent along with his team. still kudos to olof since he really is consistent
consistently getting 4 frags per game
How exactly does his current performance constitute as consistent? He’s been getting like 5 kills per game
@@chewyn6696 not his kills but in general. cs is a team based game but yes his kills are not ther
@@dinogurad243 I’m sorry but this is a still a shooting and aim game, regardless of how hard you try to make it into 99% brain and 1% aim. It’s more like 80% aim and 20% brain.
I do want to see Olof top1 again before his retirement. Watching Olof in his prime was the most enjoyable thing.
I agree. Olof being top 1 at 2015 while being the entry fragger in fnatic is mind blowing
Just like faker fans want faker wants to win one more Worlds?
no chance lul olof got 5 frags against NiP
@@warr1or705 cry more
With players like the so-called Chosen One of CS:GO in ZywOo and a guy who has been compared to guys like FlaSh, Faker, and most notably Michael freaking Jordan in s1mple, I don't think that is going to happen. If it does happen, though, it would be a pretty welcome surprise.
Olof fan here, its incredible on his persistence and strength in playng. His health issues in his arms for example dont prevent him totally, its just mind boggeling on his will. Incredible guy, thanks Olof
Sadly hes recent play against NiP he played bad
As much as he's a legendary player, anyone who's been around since the start of pro CS:GO knows that olof already reached his peak before he joined FaZe. That's why I wished that they kept cromen when olof went "on break" (usually breaks mean that they're contemplating leaving the scene or are getting replaced). A stand-in got them a win and 2 semi-finals in other events while they were in a slump. There was already a huge potential with cromen at that time and they didn't keep him, sadge.
@@mark030531 Well Olof isn't playing the star player role anymore anyway. Current Faze line up has multiple players who can do that, Twistzz, especially Broky. We'll have to wait and see at the major because Faze is best at lan although I doubt they've had much time to prep with this new update.
@@sh1ro9 There’s no “star player” role. He just isn’t good enough anymore.
@@mark030531 What do you mean by there is no star player role? Have you ever seen s1mple going into a bomb site first so that b1t can trade him? No right.
My name literally tells it all. What a legend.
Here here
@@ahrtrixmeister Fellow meister :)
@@toni00737 what about stifmeister?
I wonder how they'll fit the Olofboost in this one.
Lmao i think thats the only reason they made this video. Cuz they havent put it in the video for a while ahahahah
Not even 1/3rd of a minute in
I grew up absolutely drooling over his plays, and I can legally drink...
It's insane that he's been a star fragger since I was in school and still a star today!
it'd be a sight to see for him to win another Major before he indefinitely hangs up his mouse and keyboard
The man who is always there for his team. Well deserved Olof, well deserved.
Maybe getting a career in coaching would do the trick,I mean you're still in the game technically but without the stress and all that sh*t . And he's a legend already so why not
Just do it 4Head
idk, great players doesn't always make good coaches, especially star players.
but hey, olof have done igl roles so it's a maybe...
There are lots of players I would love to see as coaches (such as karrigan or fallen for example) but I don’t think olofmeister falls into that category
it's not the same at all but it's an option when you feel 100% washed and useless ingame.
@@MrBlueSleeves Zonic is literally nuts in game wdym lmao
Just absolutely insane to take so many breaks from the game on this level of play and always come back as strong as olof did. One on the GOAT's for sure!
“ARE YOU MAD?“
”CUZ IM NOT“
9:35 you can see he is so used to LAN even when online at home after the 4k he turns to where his teammates would be to fist bump them haha
There is a reason this guy was number 1 some years ago and yes, the competition is now higher and there is no comparison between 2015 olof to 2020 zywoo or 2021 s1mple, but olof's game sense is one of the best if not the best.. He understands timings better than anyone else. His versatility and relevance is amazing. Make him play any role, any situation and he will provide impact. That's his ultimate skill. Being versatile. He supports, he frags but most importantly he is the winning factor of faze.even the smallest ingame adjustments he does every round turn the favours for faze to convert the round. Put some respect on this Guy ❤️
boostmeister, good old times
This olofboost thing was so popular they made it in to a real person
I don't know what Olof's motivation is but it's really awesome to see him still outperforming people to this day. It would be a epic to see him lift the IEM Stockholm Champion Statue.
waiting for this for so long dude. Favorite player of all time
So great to see him playing…love this guy. He is a legend of the game with nothing to prove. He beat the game. I really like how selfless he is in the server. He supports his teammates by constantly flashing for them, playing difficult spots, soloing b, and setting his team up for the win. Legend.
'The diffuse is coming in... He is still going.... Ow Olof just about gets it'
~the legend on flames
Olof, Forest and Neo are those guys they can whip out a 1v5 against the top teams any time
”After coldzera benched himself” 😂😂😂😂
He did bench himself. What do you expect?
He literally announced that he did not feel ike playing for faze anymore and benched himself? Wtf?
and they said igl aswell
@@joshhobden3718 yes, apparently he didn't feel confortable in the position he was playing, and felt he couldn't give 100% of himself as such
@@khangnsn6915 dude I think that is just an excuse, he did perform bad most of the time on Faze and it very well looks like he kinda pushed olof out because in an swedish interview with olof, olof said that cold had overspoken the fact that he wanted to retire which was not true. Plus the fact that olof had no problem leaving and suddenly when cold is gone he is playing with Faze for a long term and playing much better without someone like cold in the team, feels like he tried to take over the team…
He is kinda like that Grandparent that is always there to help with school projects no matter what.
The Legend of Cookiezi: The Player Who Always Comes Back
why
I think Olof is just one of the players who, if motivated, makes his team win anything. Remember when he won pretty much everything with Fnatic?
It was not that hard to notice that he did not enjoy the game as much. But I love he is still active and lately really showing the love for the game and competitiveness!
prepare the olofboost...
Esports showing that fucking 25 isn't the retirement age shouldn't be shocking but it is. I maintain its burnout over conditions of the pro scene. I wish some golden parachute for not finding a new org was built in to contracts due to the age of these guys and what sacrifices are made
what are you even on about
Excellent video to publish after he went 5-20!
Man he is literally the most legendary cs player ever. Much more one of the most legendary gamers ever
His revolutionary way of playing this game is what made me fall in love with csgo as an video game!!! When he retired i lost interest in csgo for a short while, but as olof keeps popping in to say hi, so do i.
For me the best player ever, with the best personalities of them all:) hope you can sacrifice 2 more years Olof, the fans love to spectate you, one lov bruv
Bro this guy is like batman every-time they shine the bat light he appears. I feel like he could be 80 years old living life in Maldives and then get a call of duty from faze and hell still show up.
please cover team one in sieges Mexico major, its been over a month, and it was a monumental achievement
Great video. Gave me goosebumps. Olof and f0rest as well, the guys who just won't age..like CR7 and Zlatan
Could you cover a story about how that channel the score esports had been plagiarising stories? Good one to cover!
What's this channel without olof
Olof is already at legend status for years now, and the guy is still able to compete at the top.
10:03 Karrigan: "Defuse the fuuuuckin Boooomb" ... Broky shoots rain the head... rain: "nooo you fuck" ....
I remember watching Fnatic on my birthday at Katowice 2015 and then three days later in class I watched them win it all and who was there Olofmeister he'll forever be one of my most highly touted players ever.
Faze has been so good lately!! I think with some few tweaks here and there they may win a major if Navi wasn't playing like a monster right now
THey just lost to nip... 16-8
@@warr1or705 it's a b01. Shit happens.
@@thomaskutty1440 Agree
I have admired Olof for years. amazing guy
Ultimate plot twist: they never mention the olofboost in this video
0:34 they mention some controversial plays and show him doing the Olaf boost.
He was a beast on Ancient where Faze turned Complexity into History
theScore esports should make a bingo and its what clips are gonna be in this video, (Olofboost, Jumping AWP, Falling AWP, etc.)
Long live cs, greatest esport there is.
Olof is a legend. Before the days of coldzera and s1mple, nobody doubted that he was the best all around player. And to think that 8 years later he's still able to perform is amazing.
I miss Cromen, the guy did a spectacular job during his standin
A lot of their stand-ins were bomb. Cromen, and Xizt were playing out of their minds and won a premier with FaZe. Neo went close.
"Just when i thought i was out, They pull me back iiiin."
tbh this is even more impressive than the time with fnatic
Olof can provide something the other players cant he cant frag as muxh as before but the experience he has is being used the timing he has is very precise and the reads he calls is very top notch.
I get that it's esports and the content is digital. But I don't understand how you can use 95% footage gathered by someone else and edit it together and not get attacked for that. I've been hearing for like over a year from Richard Lewis, HLTV, Thoorin, Dexerto, Esports Talk, and even mentions from ESL that they are upset about how you steal their content. The only piece that you guys are actually producing yourselves are the webcam sections of the video. The rest is "borrowed" content with only a "Courtesy: Dexerto" in the bottom left. And the text is made transparent to make it more difficult to see. Even the interviews of players are being taken from the work of other journalists. This method of production is essentially sitting in the gray area of fair use right now.
This would be like Fox News deciding that it will no longer send reporters, or conduct interviews, and they just begin mashing together the work of ABC, CNN, and MSNBC. And doing their own commentary over it. And then passing it off as their own. I have a degree in journalism, and I can tell you this does not fly in any other industry.
Legit question: Is Olof the only player that has 2 graffiti added to a map to commemorate his/his team's plays, and even more, both of them being on the same map?
What I remember about graffiti of fnatic:
Overpass at both A and B site (olofboost + burning defuse)
Dust2 at T spawn (4 man peek awp including olof)
Cache B site (S1mple 2 no scope vs fnatic with olof in it)
So, yes
3 if you want o include the olofboost
The Last two kills of S1mple at Cache B site is was Dennis and Krimz
@@sravrulz I just said fnatic with olof bro, thanks for the 2 remaining fnatic members 😆
That guardian vs skadoo ending is the most used clip in score stories .. 😂😂 I cant even count now ..
I remember watching Olof at a young age and won a championship with Fnatic👀🔥💪
When is someone gonna say something about this guy's hair.
Who cares
When are we getting baldmeister?
@@kingofthesawmill Olof+Krimz=rank 1 HLTV
who cares doggy? u ever grow out ur hair and have a phase in between it didnt look too good? bet u werent on camera having the process documented over time. dont be like this, it aint cute.
We need to get olof and forest on one single team, before one of them retires. These two are just gifted.
Olof: not good enough to be a star player, not bad enough that he can't compete. Still above average, super impressive for someone so late in their career, legend.
He was a super star player. Back in the day, at his peak no one even comes close to his level!
the first international super team was NoA from cs1.6, shaguar, method, element, naikon.... incredible
Only one to get three "The story of" by thescore esports, real legend
Olof will always perfrom in cs as long as he is able to move the mouse and click on the keyboard XD
i look up to him since day one. and still expect big things from him. and gladly im not dissapointed
Olof was the only guy out of Fnatic that I ended up liking and man was I glad I did. At the time I was a big fan of f0rest and Get_RIght and I didnt even know the history behind them.
boostmeister, tec9meister, olofpass, olofposition(train), what a legend
Major streak is on baby
favorite player in esports history, thanks a lot for this
Olof should finally go ahead and do a namechange to "Olof the Legend"
He already has "master" in his name, is that not enough for you?
Old man Olof boutta get Faze the Major 💪
I love how it has 2000 counter strike
The best thing is that he was clearly still having fun playing.
I will never forget burning Olof for as long as I live
*video about olof*
Olofboost: *nervous sweating*
8:30 cold wasnt igl nice work 10/10
Olof: retires
10 years later Faze in need of player for 2031 major.
Olof: Comes back and takes his 3rd major
Olofmeister and f0rest two Swedish GOAT and my all time favorite CS players.
Can we just talk about that spray from Guardian wtf so bad
I love faze team so much and I want faze to dominate CS.I watch their winning matches atleast 3 times just after i watched it live.
When they win i just get so happy and " Happy Faze =Happy me"
They just lost to nip
@@warr1or705 it was a bo1 shit happens
@@memberof9yearoldarmy675 Ye agree
faze won their major son
Knew the Olofboost gonna show up when I saw the title
My guy is tired but still wants to play now thats a W
No matter what @olofmeister will ALWAYS BE A LEGEND!
Team Edge should really accommodate Joey and do video games in the Edge Games.
Story Of Håvard "Rain" Nygaard when tho?
want to see him many more years in top tier pro CSGO
All I want is Olof to play at the major in Stockholm🇸🇪
@Daniel_Rosen 7:47 you need to think about retiring that hair.
That's why hes my favorite player.
I need subtitles in Spanish. I love the content of this channel ❤️
Would have been hilarious if they didn't mention the olof boost in this video
The only man without any hater ❤️
Olof really starts looking like Bjorn from the Vikings
Just realized Colin is not with thescore.
Did you steal any content from Thorin for this video?
this is cool, whens the warowl video coming?
Olof is a constant
that pronunciation of Kjaerbye
MAKE A STORY ABOUT THORIN PLS :)
He is a legend already
I know just one thing.
Valve doesn't cares shit about the players. And he, is a part of 3 out of 4 graffiti arts. That's a lot to say.

For me, the GoAT of CSGO.
