What was ur favourite choke? (don’t say liquid Columbus)
-
You missed the biggest choker ever... Me, I can't even finish an ace after getting the first 4 kills because by that point I'm literally 1 BPM from a heart attack.
-
I already know FaZe/karrigan is gonna be like a third of this video
-
Jonny got his assets mixed up but fifflaren is still a gigachad
-
35 years later -Do you remember that one Canadian CS analyst? I can't remember his name... -The racist Acezone guy with black beard? Launders or something? -Yea that's him! Thanks bro.
-
Gigachad launders finishes casting, uploads video immediately after 😤💪💪
-
What a fucking great video. I'm quite new to pro CS despite playing the franchise casually for almost 20 years at this point, and the "we don't have a Michael Jordan in CS" quote put into words the feeling I had after researching CS history. You very rarely see the best players truly in the zone in these big moments, thanks for this analysis. You're awesome launders.

"Stats will always lie to you". Preach.
-
That zontix interview before their match against FaZe at the major always cracks me up, he seemed so confident saying he never felt pressure in his life. Twice the pride, double the fall....
-
a video about choking without even mentioning NiKo is crazy
-
19:16 "if you aint nervous you dont want it" - launders 2024 damn you dropping some philosophical stuff here
-
The continuity from hearing you cast to watching this is gr8
-
Choked the edits at 4:58 saying the same thing twice mate, cut one of the instances out!
-
Big Wire Fan here who recently admitted to myself the sopranos is better after being in denial for years. Intro hit hard.
-
Shocked there wasn’t a section dedicated to team liquid
-
Yea you gave the aleksib choke reference at the end when i saw him finally lifting that major trophy it was such a freeing feeling cuz i was rooting for this genius so long. All the hardships he had gone through finally payed off and it shows how strong his character is to not give up.

This video made me think a lot about Twistzz’ interview before they played the EPL finals to win their Grand Slam in 2023. When asked if the pressure of the grand slam was weighing on him he said absolutely yes it is, all I want is to win that final today. I always appreciated that winning mentality from Twistzz, it’s part of why he’s one of NA’s most decorated.
