Goodbye to one of the goats. Senor Vac will be missed dearly.

love flushas attitude man was chill w being the villain cuz he was better than everyone else anyway, the way pros are now i dont see another personality comin around like his so hes someone to remember for sure

ah shit i meant pronax not krimz sorry :D :35

7:58 This ace happened briefly before the smoke minimap bug came to light and I remember looking back at this clip and see Flusha's eyes go to the side of his screen and then back immediately after the kill on Rain and wondering if that was the smoke minimap bug at work. Nevertheless one of my favorite moments in CSGO Esports, it was such a fantastic display of who Flusha really was as a player. The skill, composure and game sense was so amazing.

"Vac just too good nowadays, I gotta step down"- flusha probably

The Autimatic + Flusha C9 roster was one of my favorites in CSGO because of how much brainpower was on that team. I'll never forget C9 vs Faze on inferno with that crazy P250 play that saved Faze and stopped C9 from top 8 at the major. Also what could have been with that Auti + Flusha + Sunny roster, I think BnTeT might have been involved too, just such a cool collection of players.

To be honest i was one of those people who thought Flusha and other pros were cheating, some of the clips were just too sketchy for me to wrap my brain around, then i got better at the game and watched my own demos and was shocked to see how many times i would snap to enemy heads behind walls, i remember one game where i got like 3 wall bang headshots so i watched the demo and on one of them i somehow tracked an enemy head that was running for about 2 seconds before i wall banged him. If it was a demo of anybody else in the world i would have said without a shadow of a doubt that they were cheating but since it was my own demo and i know for a fact that i don't cheat it completely changed my mind on all the pro cheating accusations i had.

I will admit back in the Fnatic era I thought flusha was cheating but now I see it’s clear he’s one of the smartest players to touch the game, I’m happy you cleared his name and shoutout to flusha for being a great guy congrats to flusha he deserves those 3 MVPs

I MISS PRO MATCHES ON TRAIN 😭

such a great player! i really enjoyed this tribute! thanks launders

Rewatching flusha and bro was so ahead of his time. You see so many things he does based on util and timings that no one did back in 2015/2016. Not to mention his nade usage

I remember being at that game vs ldlc at dreamhack 2014, the crowd was going absolutely wild. Just incredible to think that this specific moment now is a part of the historybooks. So sad to see him leave, but everything must come to an end unfortunately. Happy to see that his legacy will be a positive one. He truely deserves it

Lovely video, Launders! Also fantastically edited.

I think Flusha was still very mechanically skilled. It wasn't his strength, but it wasn't a weakness either. His one taps and spray control were both obviously well practised

Legend Senior VAC

Than you so much for this video @launders! This was a well deserved reflection on flusha!

As always man amazing production quality! Love the content

First time I’ve seen that ace on train since the game was first played, always remembered that ace thinking of how cold and calculated flusha played. Great video dude

My friend just started recently watching CSGO and I have such a hard time conveying how legendary some of these players like Flusha and Olof are because it was one of those phenomena where you just had to be there at the time to understand it. Nice shoutout to Swag too, that will always be the saddest story to me in esports (that doesnt involve tragedy of course)

Lau, Krimz has 2 majors, he only won the Katowice and Cologne back to back in 2015. He wasn't in the lineup for the DH Winter 2013 win.

I feel bad for anyone who didnt get to see the 2015 Fnatic team play... they were the main reason I got into CS. Even the Fnatic team with Dennis was fun to watch when he was just destroying people on pistol rounds on his own. They were like the first team I can remember who could win an actual full eco round with USPs or make it damn close.

it was really nice seeing joe d'audio

Bro just made me fall in love with flusha's playstyle in 12 minutes despite me only knowing his name before.

damn Launders I see you out here changing the title three times. ALRIGHT ILL WATCH IT 😂 Thanks for all you do man 🙏

i liked the video - not because im glad he retires but because his story is so epic - thank you for telling it well

Awesome video. God I love the kato 2018 clutch. Got into watching pro matches with the Boston final, but that kato final really sold it for me. Was a fan of flusha from the get go, just before discovering s1mple :D

loved this vid

I don’t know where I found this quote, but I’ve always had this from him saved in my documents “Do stupid shit, but do it with confidence” and I’ve lived by that.

great video mr. lau

It's actually impressive how you can go to any highlight short or compilation of basically any pro nowadays and find some tinfoil hats in the comments ranting about how they are obviously cheating and everybody's in on it etc. It's baffling to me that people suck so bad that they can't believe it when professional athletes are actually good at the thing they're doing.

Yo Launders, good to see you’re still active with counterstrike, I was reminiscing on my past with the game and saw the old groups I was in then saw your group and was wondering if you’re still involved in the game. I remember when I first met you on kz_colors_v2 and you taught me how to kz, I spent 6hours on the map to only make it half way through lol. I eventually was able to beat the map in sub 24mins. Great video as well man, flusha was a legend, I really enjoyed the part where you brought up the different mechanics in the game because once I started getting good at the game it was apparent to me that aim wasn’t everything. My aim wasn’t the best but my game sense was different, I frequently got called a cheater on cevo, esea, and faceit and it wasn’t because my aim but for my ability to predict movement and outcomes. I miss those days, and I wish I was able to make it further in the game in terms of advanced team level play and official league matches, but I’ll never know what potential I had because I gave up on the dream I once had with the game. Thank you for letting me relive some of the moments in this video, and for teaching me how to KZ!!!

Great video of one of my favourite players ever. He was so creative and fun to watch - who would you say is the modern flusha these days?

I am glad that his public image turned around before he retired. I also miss the old AK sound.

That "flusha was one of the least mechanically talended" argument is so weird for me, thats not how i remember him at all. His aim has always been refined and above pro average, he was just not very relaint on aim because of smart positioning and decision making.

Hotdogs everyday is rough. Gotta grind. Great recap. I remember most of this but its fun to look it over. I didnt know about the angel challenge tho. Jump cuts are getting a little much tho

Banger video, does anyone know the music at 6:20 for lau’s fav flusha ace?

crazy to think about how I felt watching Dreamhack Winter 2014 Olofpass boost at the time vs. now. like all of the vitriol I had ever felt for anything in my life channeled into fnatic and flusha specifically. couldn't feel more differently now

Nostalgia pangs

Flusha is who got me into cs

small detail you forgor - krimz wasnt in the original fnatic lineup so he only won 2 majors

found out 2 things 1. launders was the glizzy gobbler 2. flusha

I was always apart of the crowd thinking he's a cheater, but Lau, you worded this and explained it all so well. Dope video.

Like always great content, in the name of the CS community, we say thank you! :D

I think the fact that he was able to elevate that C9 team into a handful of decent runs at ELeague, Kato speaks volumes to just how smart he is. He raised the floor of Kioshima and made Auti one of the best close range awpers in the world for a short while.

That gabagool talk makes me want to go to the Italian market and rewatch the Sopranos.

10:22 Couldn’t agree more on this. Fnatic got hated on here because of the accusation. 2014 and 2015 were wild times. Everybody hated on Fnatic while they were winning damn near everything.

What song is in the background launders?

when you talk about the intangibles, flusha is the goat

my favorite player

STELLA video, keep it up! 😊🙏

Flusha would be the lovable legend if he plays in this era

Krimz only won 2 majors. Pronax was the other one who won 3 majors alongside flusha and JW

flusha is my all-time goat. unique person and gamestyle

man, I was just thinking about the whole Flusha situation a couple of days ago, then I got recommended this video today. If he truly was clean, his story is probably the saddest one in CSGO's history. I'm honestly still unsure, and I'm sure most of his games are legit. But his top suss clips are so weird, I still see them when I'm trying to sleep, like a horror movie stuck on repeat. You brought up Ange1's clip competition, but there were so few clips that was found of him truly looking suss. One thing is certain, Fnatic got way to much hate when they were at the top, I still feel bad thinking of how the community treated them. Thanks for coming to my TED talk.

flusha jw and krimz are and will always be my favourite players of all time

Nice video

Man I don't even know what to feel anymore. Great Video.

6:02 Elmapuddy now coaches Gen G Valorant for the APAC franchise league

I need to start watching old tournaments again so I can have more Lau I comment to help statistics

nice watch

He was still playing?

flusha professional mouse lifter

is Joe D'Audio from joyzee?

Why did he retired ?

i think this launders guy likes flusha

anyway the url to this video almost says "idiot" at the end

I really miss the 2012-2015 era, olofmeister, flusha, jw, get right etc. I remember that a player was asked or said in an interview if he was the best or wants to be the best and the camera zoomed onto olofs face and he made a "wtf you serious" expression.

Hold on, Ang31's clips primarily show normal crosshair alignment towards opponents concealed behind walls, without involving sudden flicks or extraordinary wallbangs. This approach also encompasses regular crosshair placement and a consistent grasp of optimal positions. The suspicions surrounding Flasha were conspicuous, and my intuition always hinted at his use of cheats. Why was Flusha the sole target of cheating allegations, while others remained unaccused? You distinctly mentioned that it was established professional players, not casual Matchmaking novices, who leveled accusations at Flusha. In numerous critical scenarios, he displayed an uncanny ability to locate opponents, swiftly aiming through walls and securing headshot eliminations. I anticipate the counterargument: "Well, he might have memorized head-level positions in those spots." However, there was an instance where an adversary was crouching in the connector, which appears to demonstrate unadulterated aim locking during such instances. Moreover, his usage of grenades was exceptional during that period. Skilled players can execute precise grenade throws when they have knowledge of enemy positions. How does one transition from a phase in their career characterized by extraordinary frags, only to suddenly cease manifesting such prowess? Why the absence of questionable clutch plays, seemingly improbable wallbangs, and extraordinary maneuvers? Even the impeccable grenade usage? Currently, he seems to have transformed into an average player with a 4K Elo rating, though this achievement is potentially facilitated by queuing with a premade team.

Great video 👍 keep up the good content, lovin it lovin it lovin it

flusha is the smartest player in csgo history for my money. I'm not talking about overall strats and IGL-ing like gla1ve, but simply in terms of in-game decision-making. It feels like every single time he's in the right place at the right time and, watching from the opponent's side it genuienly feels like he already knows what you're gonna do before you even know it

More Italian ads pls❤

I still thought the 4 major astralis was flusha/olof *5

0:38 Krimz has two majors.

Thanks!

7:13 this and c9 winning major were the best grand final matches of all time

What's the thing about lifting mouse? Doesn't everyone lift there mouse?

krimz only has 2 majors tho right

As someone with practically no mechanical skill, players like flusha and xyp9x are the kind I always look up to. Their intelligence, positioning, and playstyle are hard to do well and underappreciated. Much love

I always used to joke that he doesn't have a knife in case he'd get banned 😭

I didn't really get a chance to watch many Eyeballers matches, but even towards the end of his time on Fnatic he was still performing well. It's crazy how well the ex-Fnatic players have continued to stay relevant in tier 1 CS. Definitely my goat roster for longevity in CS.

looking at the clips now just shows he was way ahead of his time. To think that perfect smoke spams have become pretty normal by now and in 2015 his whole career was stained because of them is mad

that train flank was possible only because enemy team was not holding site properly, you get insane clutches when enemy gets cocky and plays remaining player 1by1 seen it hundreds of times

Flusha's my favorite fnatic player. His game sense was insane. I'm going to miss Señor VAC

Flush’s is my GOAT cs player I feel like he affected the way cs is played more than anyone else in history

All we need now is for flusha to release his *"If I Did It"*

Flusha Fanatic is the OG Fanatic, heade that team something special. The God damn Master

LOVE the vid Launders, great take on Flusha, esp with positioning. Felt good when the cam was on him to see smart play > loved me some JW shenanigans but flusha was my early goat

Настроение было плохое, а щас все прекрасно)

w tribute

him and jw are my fav players. So fun watching them play, always good games. They dont play "ordinary" cs

I agree the Gabagool headphones are pretty damn good. Esspecialy with a loud window ac unit 10 feet from me.

s1mple's gamesense is so good he has build in radar hack, but flusha's gamesense is so good he has build in wallhack

Thx for this, I loved fnatic back then and it always made me so sad watching everyone hating on them... Jw pig, flusha cheating, olof boost etc. etc. Great video, flusha is a true legend.

something funny is that after watching some flusha's vids i decided to start shooting smokes and wb objects like he used to do and my rate of kills through smokes went really high. Like, this might be a bit stupid but u notice that he knew what he was doing it wasn't just random spraying

W video Lau

Floosha no, say it ain't so 😢

i still have my source mindset sometimes where jumping and ladder shots were essentially never happening, 0% chance. now people jump shot all the time. Still urks me a bit because its super unrealistic. especially with the kickback of some of weapons.

Flusha one of the coolest and ballsiest players ever man, the get lifted and señor vac stuff is legendary

Would have been nice to show the abundance of sus clips that led to the mouse lifting meme. I don’t think he ever cheated, but there were some genuinely sus clips back in 2015 where his mouse would look like it would lock onto people because of mouse lifting, and the first time he ever said that it was mouse lifting he wasn’t even joking. Sad to see flush retire, amazing player.

Pronax three majors, not krimz
