Agree. This is applicable to success in general.

I can't emphasize enough how captivated I am with the way Thorin is able to convey his thoughts into such profound messages.

Thorin. Thank you for this. This hit home for me. I appreciate the light to be turned on. This works not only in game but life.

Was this one long elaborate alpha draft ad? If so well played sir.

I always come back to this video. It holds true for so many areas in life.

I needed this video like... 10 years ago especially the video with the fundamentals. It's easy to walk the walk when one thinks they know everything regarding aspects of improvement and even easier to run the mouth, but actually getting there at absolutely ALL COSTS is something else and I was a victim of my own blindness. Thanks.

The AlphaDraft skrilla is at the end :( .... guess I'll have to watch the rest of the video *sigh*

Reminds me a bit of a saying one of my old band teachers had. "Practice doesn't make perfect, perfect practice makes perfect." Point being, you do something the wrong way over and over, not only does it not mean shit in terms of your progress, it's actually detrimental more often than not.

its like the final scene from the end of ryus story in street fighter, while his friends are celebrating, he looking for the next challenge

Great Video man, really insightful and well presented. What I really like about it, is that you can also apply what you're saying in a normal life environment, not only esports or sports in general. This is a general mentality that you can see in every aspect of life, whether its work or family, etc...Succeeding in anything really, takes time and the right effort that one needs to put in order to reach his "trophy", and this takes dedication, commitment and resilience to accept failure and to always be able to adapt to anything that a situation throws at you. Again really wana thank you for this, Keep it up :)

This topic seriously hit home. After i won my first national title in volleyball i didn't had that kind of mind set that Thoorin was talking about or that drive to win. Even though we had several more chancen to take back our title as champions we always ended on somwhere from 2-6 place , and though everything was okei because we have won before. In all of the 12 national tournament i've played i've only won 2 of them. Kinda wish that i've seen this earlier.

I love your videos and your concepts and not to forget about your amazing f*cking memory mate.You're awsome.Cheers from Romania.

Such a deep and inspirational video. I love these videos the most. Here's another amazing one from Thooorin if you're interested: kzread.info/dash/bejne/kYKKx4-occ2nj9Y.html It's one of my all-time favorites.

Hi from Brazil Thorin, great topic! Many players need to choose what they want, too forget the real goal of representing a team and compete. Tks a lot

This is an eye opener for me as I want to get into the ESports scene, thanks man.

This was actually a really great video. So relevant to esports, yet it and the role of coaches are parallels to traditional sports that many figures in esports refuse to embrace especially in the western regions.

Probably the best of Thorin's Thoughts atm

This video is one of your best yet.

KEEP AN EYE ON THOSE THUMBNAILS, OVER THE NEXT MONTH THE TRANSFORMATION FROM MILD MANNERED CLEAN SHAVEN THORIN TO ULTRA HOBO MOUNTAIN THORIN WILL BE COMPLETE

Another great video Thorin. A lot of players in NA lack the practice mentality, where as you said they're focused on the short term scrim wins, etc, instead of focusing on preparing in the correct manner to win the games that matter. I linked this video on ESEA in hopes that some players recognize the mistakes they're making when it comes to practice so they can change their mentality in regards to improving with the correct mindset.

You are picking interesting topics and I like the way you think them trough.

These are the epic videos that make Thooorin a legend in esports commentary.

This applies to almost any goal in life (without the "just" part). I think it helps greatly to have a strong reason (to you) to why you wanna win. So that whenever you wanna be comfortable you push yourself back. With time you wouldn't to refer to that reason anymore and you'd have formed a solid mindset that keeps you pushing forward.

Kobe has plenty of stories like that, his finger is fucked btw its completely twisted due to playing a full year and playoffs with it broken. I remember one game of his, it goes way back in the Shaq era, random season game in Chicago, they werent fighting for the playoffs or anything, and he had this shoulder injury where he couldn't shoot with his dominant right hand, and he not only played, but dropped like 38 and won the game... Some dude just have this surreal will to win, to a level where its almost unhealthy, but to me its amazing and I admire it.

Thorin. You motivated me to play more and get better

Thank you.

I Always knew that you have the potencial to go Beast Mode Thorin. This is it. 10+

One of the most inspirational videos Thorin has ever made.

this is an amzing video. Good job Thoorin

Agreed with this video! Sometimes it is just easier to accept to not make those sacrifices, but in those cases it is pointless to say "I want to only win".

Your comments on 'They want to win with friends..." are spot on. For EVERY game Ifollow, there always seems to be one team like this. They'd rather lose as 5, than win as 3. Great point, m8.

my ak spray has been complete ass recently i just kept playing thinking it would improve, this inspired me to spend 3-4 hours in recoil maps to make it consistent again. thanks thorin

As always, great video mate.

That AlphaDraft drop was mindblowing.

That was amazing Thorin ! can u please do an episode about life which was arrested ? i'd like to hear ur opinion !

This video should be shown to every competitive athlete when they are growing up and beyond. Forget about esports this video is 100%. well said.

Pfew, I was scared for a moment you forgot the Alphadraft ad...

hilarious this has sub one million views. i downloaded this just to listen to it on a regular basis.

Well, I'm playing CS:GO for fun and not planning to become a professional player, but those advice are really great and can be applied in real life.

great toughts, so motivating.

I don't follow esports and never will, but this was a great video highlighting why winners win in any competitive environment.

everybody wanna be the best but nobody wanna put in that work - Falcated 2016

This applies to my school work so much.

This is so good. And it applies to almost everything. Not just sports

still one of the best videos

Smiles and success, they seem like an even trade.

This video was savage! I love it :)

What he says can be applied across the board in any professional discipline. Sentiment like "I just want to be paid more" or "I just want the job that I want" none of that will just fall into your lap through talent alone, sure it helps initially but if you don't round out your skills, sacrifice a little bit of a strength to improve a weakness you'll hit the same hurdles he talks about in this video. +1

Very interesting topic. I think it was quite poignant to talk about the post-tournament "high" and the difference between what you're going to do instead of what they already did. Very, very true.

I was tilted, I went into a bot game and threw smokes for an hour, I just woke up and now im writing down all my flaws I can see in my game. Thanks for steering me in the right direction, hard work is good but smart work is key.

Fantastic video.

Thorin youre brilliant mate. Dunno where it comes from but you are one of the realest niggas ever.

The excellence of execution.

awesome message, such truth

I feel like this is directed at Shroud.

I need to look at this video periodically to buff up my work ethic

Timeless piece.

I thought about you writing a book one day, but not because I wanted to read it, but I wanted to hear you read it to me.

that's a great motivation in general!

Wicked video. Listening to it while DMing. =)

nice one, good work dude

Thorin really enjoys being sweaty. Oh the humanity that is a huge jacket.

I needed this

this honestly applies to life in general, not only sports

Wise words

I think this is very much so the same for CLG (LoL), they just wanted to win. When they went to worlds and didn't perform, they did show that it's just that the stars aligned the correct way, for the season in NA, and not that they had fixed anything of value in their team.

"it's like that famous saying.. its something that goes along the lines of like" haha thooorin great banter

@Thooorin Do you think a team like Renegades is currently in this state of "I want to win"? Because I look back at their wins when they were Vox and an underdog and feel they had that mentality of pushing themselves as hard as possible, and there were some results to show for this. Now I see them and although we are hearing all the right answers from them when asked about poor results, they are just coasting and want to win and it is not congruent with the actions, game play and results we are seeing from them.

This video is my lulluby at night.

Thorin if you could make a super team that includes both NA and SA/Brazilian players what would your team look like? FalleN, Hiko, Nitro, Skadoodle, Cold?

amazing video

luve yu Thooorin :) + your content :D

I think he is right, because of two things: - for me, the best and most complete player in football history is Zinedine Zidane, and he worked his fucking ass off to become the best. He might not be the most gifted like Ronaldinho or Messi or whatever, but he was more complete than these guys, and thus able to almost win matches single-handedly (just look at France vs Bresil in 2006's World Cup). So to be the best, you need to work more than anyone else, and most people think talent is what makes the greatest. - work always surpasses talent in the long run, and it keeps you down-to-earth

That's not entirely true. Talent trumps hardwork at low and mid levels, but as it gets higher talent places less of a factor.

Let me clarify. If I am extremely gifted I don't need to work hard to be good at what I'm gifted at, but if I am extremely gifted and my competitor is very gifted than if he works hard and I don't he will be a lot better than me. If my competitor is only a little gifted than no matter gow hard he works he's likely never to surpass me at least significantly. If a swimmer is a god he is not like that because he works hard. He is a god because he was extreamly gifted. If he wasn't training alone wouldn't push him to that level. Yes he likely needa to work hard to get there, but he wouldn't get there without being gifted.

+The Law Talent sure plays a big part, but working is in my opinion even more important. And I'm saying this because despite being the most intelligent kid in the class, people working their ass off often get better results than me (even though they studied 10x more than me for like one or 2 more points) xD

+Durandal Sword Than they are close enough in talent where they can slightly surpass you with hard work if you don't try hard. I also think things like math are special, because if you were able to get to highschool you should only need to memorize minus anomalies. Unlike sports if you are very good at math you will both finish the problem, but you will finish first. In sports if you are more gifted you have more options. More answers to a problem because you can perform better allowing you do things lesser players can't.

Cant find anything about that potty or however you write it can you leave a link or something

Bit out of left field Thorin, but you should check out Jocko Willink. Saw him on the Joe Rogan podcast, hes an ex marine who wrote a book about how to succeed and it sounds very similarly along the lines of what you said here.

why does he wear a jacket when hes inside? pls explain

Can you please do a video about XeqtR and elemeNt?

If you do something for a living, your end goal should be "I wan't to be the best at what I do, because it's how I allow myself to live, buy food and things, pay my bills, I have to be good." If you perform in competitions for a living, no matter if its eSports or physical sports or fucking idk painting? your end goal should always be to win, because that's how you make your living. HOWEVER, you should never "settle" for being the best, and you should never tell yourself you're the best. That will be your downfall eventually. You have to always put in time, effort, practice, research, and as soon as you don't WANT to do that anymore, or CAN'T do that anymore, it's the end of your reign as one of the best (look at Sean Gares for example). Winning and being the best has to be your end goal, but in a sense you can't allow yourself to reach it, or else you'll be your own downfall.

that fucking outro was gold man
