Had some beef with Destiny back in the day on Unfiltered. He's mostly part of the Counter-Strike scene. He can come across as a douchebag because he's pretty blunt and loud but I never disliked him personally. EDIT: He also talks A LOT for a LONG TIME | ||

They said BW is dead and will never have any viewers in 2013. Look where we are now. Why can't people not wait and just see instead of telling everything in hyperboles | ||

Personally, for me it's remembering threads like this, which are: - random video with 20+ minutes - the title of the topic is something I have read first in 2003. Then in the week after. And so on. - TELL YOUR FRIENDS - title phrased in click bait - (BW) in the title, even though this IS the bw forum - whole post suggesting you have to know this guy (I think someone tried to explain me who that is at least twice, I keep forgetting, never a good sign) I don't know what's expected of me. Actually watching that? Responding with "YES! HE OFFERED MORE INSIGHT THAN THE OTHER TEN THOUSAND PEOPLE BEFORE HIM I HAVE NEVER HEARD OF BEFORE OR AFTER AGAIN!" I only click that if he asks me for money he will then transfer to a Nigerian general. | ||

If anything, this scene is MUCH more sustainable because you won't kill yourself from too much practicing. Also when TBLS and others have to go to the military soon, it will make place for the new talents. Remember when people said the same about Boxer going to the military meaning the end of BW? Yeah that totally happened. | ||

He likes to say surprising things, stand for opinions people won't like. This has it's good effects as well cuz in his anti-populistic ways he will be vocal about things others will not be the first to speak of. It's good for a pro scene as long as there's others who dare to shut him up when he's in the wrong. Sometimes he's fun. Sometimes he just seeks attention. Sometimes he's on air on live tv with shaquile o neill for the first time that csgo is on tv and has been given a chance to grow, he does a joke about Shaqs weight (that could have gone just wrong but it was a homerun in the situation.) When he ranks CSGO teams and their efforts he's one of the more objective casters. | ||

people enjoying BW is a good thing regardless of their reasons. make a history video if you don't think people appreciate where it came from but the tone on this is a bit too condescending. | ||

The video creator is just trying to milk the community for views. simply nonsense. E.g. not long ago Thorin made an interview with Jaedong in person: You know many irrelevant people who can manage that? Besides the majority of his views comes from CS:GO related videos. ps: proof Thorin knows his shit better than most ordinary BW fans (bonjwa concept critique) | ||
