time to time and with that said let's move on to today's topic we don't know much about carrigan's childhood Finn was born in Denmark in April 1990 to a Danish father and German mother remember this detail for later but in 2001 Finn played CS for the first time and made it to the local Semi-Pro scene in 4 years this was the classic time of fat monitors and mouses with that little ball that always got stuck at the worst moment possible in 2007 16-year-old carrian joined his first professional team ideal gaming although Finn was the youngest player on the roster his teammates insisted that he become a Captain maybe he already had a talent for it or more likely just none of the other guys wanted to be the igl anyways ideal gaming was a pretty mediocre team to be honest even on the local Danish scene but one time they earned almost $4,000 on that land the guys faced the legendary zic and ay in the final game and lost miserably of course in 2008 carrian was invited to gravitas and it was clearly a step up for him our hero joined foggin and KK pretty strong and well-known Danish players at that time their first tournament together was a toad five in Moscow when the guys lost to DOA and overdrive taking 16th Place and coming back home with nothing but that trip to Moscow left a big impression on carrian and he knew that he could learn a lot from gravitas but the desire to play with his own friends was Stronger so he left and started Gathering his own roster Finn invited three guys from his former team ideal gaming and freeze the guys decided to call themselves teammates and since they didn't have a sponsor they had to pay for a boot camp out of their own Pockets but carrian remembers those times as one of the happiest periods of his whole career because they weren't just teammates but actual friends in 2008 our young team suddenly made a Big Splash in Counterstrike winning the legendary mtw at the dream hack summer 2008 qualifier just think about that mtw was the only Danish team with an actual contract and hadn't lost a single game on the local scene for half a year now and then they get beaten by some students in the qualifier for for an important event mtw was such a strong team that dream hack despite them losing that game still invited the Danes directly to the tournament thanks to that win carrigan's team managed to get a sponsor on that dream hack the guys easily passed the group stage but got outclass by the Poland golden five causing that sponsor to quickly leave coming back from that dream hack the team continued to train but failed to repeat their former success Finn remembers that the climate within the team was amazing but the results were bad and they had a really hard time finding a fifth player so in November 2009 when carrian got invited to Spirit of Amiga the team of a very strong Captain aradon our hero said sorry to his friends and accepted the offer in 2010 the guys played on quite a few International lands and even took first place on one of them moreover Spirit of Amiga beat the legendary mtw three times Finn remembers that those guys had a lot of money so after they lost to SOA for the Third time mtw just came and bought aradon out end of story carrian knew that they wouldn't be able to play on the same level without arcadion and started to consider other offers deep down he was very upset about the fact that they became the best Danish team and the only thing that stopped them was that some rich orgs stole their key player in November 2010 carrian signed a contract with a German org ma Sports Finn had zero issues communicating with the guys since his mom was German and actually he knew it even better than English in the first tournament the guys showed some terrible Cs and finished in last place with zero wins one draw and four losses carrigan's rating was am measly 0.83 so the team went on a three-month break that didn't seem to help the results were still bad afterwards the only good thing was that carrian came back to Beast level performance and finished many games on top of the tab so it's no surprise that when g b decided to return to the team M didn't think for a second to take him back as a result in the summer of 2011 the guys made two changes and decided to skip gameon a big tournament in Spain but carrian was allowed to go there with ESC the guys took second place beating legendary fanatic and na'vi and Finn became the third best player of the whole event the first real test of the new Mae roster was World Esports games in South Korea where the guys finished in fifth place out of 16 teams in that tournament gby made carrian play for which our hero will be very grateful for in the future in general ma started to perform well they regularly beat some strong teams and carrian himself was one of the best players in almost every event they played on what's more at the end of the year our hero became an MVP at eswc 2011 one of the most prestigious lands of the Season although ma only took third place there carrian was still named the best also hltv put Finn in eighth place in their yearly top 20 they noted that carrian finished the year with a 1.19 land rating today you can compare that to Mony simple shirou or zantz although mau's got good results they still needed to replace somebody one of their players ninja lost his passion for Cs and couldn't keep up with the new level that the team had reached it was zic who got an invite to take his place he assured the team that communicating wouldn't be a problem since he like every D took a German class in school signing zic ma went on a New Year's break at the beginning of 2011 there were only two big imem tournaments where you could earn some decent prize money so many teams trained hard for them and even though we'd be happy to say that Ma did well on at least one of these lands they didn't they didn't even make it past the group stages one of the main reasons for such results might be the good old communication problems unfortunately Sonic's German turned out to be not so good and Ma had to mix German with Danish and English no wonder nothing good came with that the organization responded to this in a very unexpected Way Ma officially stated that today's audience is losing interest in CS and switching the Starcraft League of Legends and Dota 2 so the org disbanded the team and left Counterstrike to focus more on other kinds of games hearing that zic stopped playing professionally and left CS for more than 3 years but carrian didn't want to give up his career in this dying game and join fnatic for Finn that transition was a very good thing because ma wasn't winning tournaments but they also didn't let him go to mtw here's what he said I spent almost a year and a half in Ma and fanatic was the only team we couldn't beat so when I became free of my contract I knew I wanted to play here carrian had very big hopes for fanatic he said that while his previous team tried to play using hardcore tactics and always stuck to the plan the swedes had a completely different approach to the game fanatic relied mostly on the amazing skill of each individual player and Finn couldn't to be a part of such a structure he said once I think Ma was the best team in terms of tactics and so what we still made a lot of stupid mistakes in April 2011 fnatic went to the first tournament together the Copenhagen games it was a special one for carrian since the event was held in Denmark there they easily passed the group stage W against the Polish golden five and met na'vi in the grand finals with a on map Advantage thanks to coming from the upper bracket winning the second map with a the 28 to 25 score fnatic had won the whole event after a few months zist left the team to create ninjas and pajamas fanatic replaced him with f counting on the fact that this guy was an in-game leader in the past but when they lost a media game at the advertisement event in Iran carrian understood that this idea had no future and became fanatic's Captain himself in the second half of 2012 fnatic became the best team in the world in 1.6 it was them who stopped na'vi era beating them in three big finals that year carrian remembers that at one point they even stopped playing CS since they easily defeated any team there was also no point in creating new strats because if someone managed to find a key in their play style they would just switched to running gun like on FPL and still managed to win such good results led to fnatic having a very busy schedule in 1.6 so they started to train in csgo quite late also the guys themselves didn't really like the new version of Cs carrian for instance said that he's not a fan of csgo and he was sad about 1.6 not having tournaments in the future here's a little story that will help you understand how powerful fanatic was at the end of 1.6 let's take a look at dream hack Winter 2012 one of the very first tournaments in CS go to be honest the guys went there only because they got a direct invite and didn't have much hope for themselves because the other teams had already trained in csgo but in one of the games fanatic f the legendary polish ESC fanatic players had like 30 to 40 hours in csgo consisting mostly of games they just did for fun while the golden five had more than 200 hours of efficient training and what do you think happened fnatic still crushed them so it was no surprise to anyone when fnatic won the last big event in 1.6 from June to October 2012 they didn't lose a single official match in this game fanatic did very well for themselves but in December car Aran and Modi suddenly left the community was obviously stunned by this news and no one could understand why the strongest team in the world was saying goodbye to two players in an official announcement fanatic stated that their endgame is not to hold specific players but to maintain a good atmosphere within the team carrian himself later said that he felt like he wasn't in the right place so what team did he end up joining well it was none other than ma these guys saw how hard valve tried to make C go work and decided to come back to this game carrian said that he was glad to be back home not many people know this but carrian was actually facing a very hard Choice back then on the one hand he moved to another city to get a degree in business management but on the other he really didn't want to say goodbye to CS Finn decided to try and make them both work and it's very important to understand one simple thing as an organization ma came back to CS with a very strict goal in mind and that goal was to develop German CS it was vital for them to create the best German team and represent their country at International championships Danish carrian was invited only because he knew German and played in MA earlier the whole transition to csgo was a hard task for every org and ma made it even harder for themselves by having such restrictions and sadly it didn't do them any good in the end from one tournament to another ma failed time and time again even on a local ESL Pro Series Germany the guy only took third place unfortunately we don't have the recording but in the final game of that event when Ma already didn't have any chance to take first place one of their players trouble started to buy some strange guns and just run around with them on the map when asked about this he responded if a gun exists in csgo it means I can play with it what are you saying the gev isn't a weapon what did I do wrong a couple of minutes into that interview the journalist said that Ma fought a lot during the final game I don't know what you saw we're fine that's what trouble he had to say and then suddenly announced that he's retiring from CS and Ma Sports as a team was disbanded it's likely that carrian who was the captain of the number one team in the world just one year before wasn't very happy about taking third place in some local League he finished his journey in MA with a 1.14 KD and was a good fit for any Scandinavian team on May 20th 2013 Finn came back to fanatic whose results had gotten a lot worse after transition listening to CSG go here's what kin one of the fanatic managers had to say about it after a long internal discussion we decided that our team needs a strong Captain who will unveil the potential of other players everyone had pretty high expectations about that team because it was basically that fanatic 1.6 roster with just one exception the new player was young zipx but sadly the team failed to repeat their success from 1.6 on the contrary the results were mediocre at best and only the semi-finals in Cologne stopped what seemed like a NeverEnding losing streak but that wasn't enough hardship and in July the team got disbanded and all the players went their own way zipx for instance joined Dupri and device in Copenhagen wolves that moment is widely considered as the creation of the strongest team in Counter-Strike history carrian didn't have any luck in finding anything better than just joining another local German team it was playing ducks and you probably know some of its players tson is playing for big right now Chris J was a mouse Superstar back in the day Kirby has many games on hltv and Leia trained a lot of good teams we suppose that now you're starting to notice the kind of pattern in all of this carrian switched teams again and showed poor results again yes Finn won a German ESL Pro Series something that he couldn't achieve with mouse but that was still no comparison to what he achieved during his time in 1.6 so yeah after 2 months carrian left playing Ducks many people started to think think that he just needed to stay on a team where he'd be able to train for a long enough period of time maybe but not this time around Finn's new team was n faculty with them he played on the first ever csgo major won a small land in Copenhagen and left at the end of 2013 it's hard to believe but right after that in February of the next year Finn joined a new team called reason gaming played on the second CSCO major won a small land tournament then left in Just 2 and 1/2 months at that moment carrigan's reputation on the international Pro scene started to go down a little bit you see it had been more than 18 months now since csgo got released and Finn still didn't make it onto a single Grand Final on big events instead he was switching teams every couple of months and was losing his good stats for instance in 2013 carrian had a rating of 0.98 which is still an acceptable number for a captain but that was nothing compared to what he delivered just the year before deciding not to accept the very first offer after reasoning gaming Finn joined the Danish mix called leftovers the guys literally chose this name because none of them could find a spot on any good team so they agreed to not train at all so they could spend all summer chilling and doing personal business but also while playing some online qualifiers or visiting some local lands but these plans were stopped by the org called Copenhagen wolves which came in and offered them to sign a full-time contract then pimp made a public statement starting today we leftovers are making the first step towards becoming the best in the world now that we have become a part of one of the best and most prestigious orgs and Esports we have nothing else to do besides playing CS go well that all sounded very impressive but as always the same old story happened again Copenhagen wolves qualified to a major where carrian failed to reach the playoffs for the third time in a row and showed some pretty bad results overall in 4 months the Wolves signed Kaden in kby in order to improve their Firepower but carrian decided already that he'd had enough and so he left it turns out that Finn was actually invited to another team and you won't believe who it was mes by October 2014 carrian joined this org for the third time in four years and we know that you're probably tired of hearing this by now but after a few months of not achieving anything Finn left the team again this time they weren't even able to qualify for the major losing in the quarterfinals to the German team plan key the reason for carrigan's departure from ma this time was pretty simple g b came back and everyone understood that he would be their new igl when Finn was told that he would be kept in the team as a rifler he didn't even want to try that and left first knowing that he makes the most impact only as a captain and a leader not as some kind of running gun guy around New Years carrian got the very thing he had been waiting for for such a long time an actually decent offer to join a team that's consistently playing on the tier one level and visits every big land what team was that well do you remember that in 2013 carrian played with zipack and fanatic and that they parted ways after the disband well zip started playing with device and Dupri and the guys formed an amazing Trio slowly but steadily they climbed their way from the bottom of the tier 2 level and reached the semi-finals of two majors that year sadly by the end of 2014 the guys hit somewhat of a dead end the stats of their legendary Captain fed were getting worse and worse his KD that year was 0.85 and everyone knew that something needed to be changed so fetish was benched and the team started looking around for a new igl by now csgo had been around for more than 2 years and no one could really tell exactly why carrian had been switching from Team to team for so long and not winning any decent tournaments the whole time some people even said that Finn just couldn't adapt to the new game and was stuck playing in a 1.6 style While others kept kept the faith in him remembering just how great fanatic was under his leadership so in December 2014 when team dignitas announced the signing of carrian one thing instantly became clear now he can't have any excuses if he doesn't succeed with these players then maybe he really is just not that good after a couple of months the players contracts with dignitas expired and they moved to a richer org TSM the guys took third place on their first land together and showed great results in every important tournament in just four months TSM reached a level so high that they could easily be called the best team in the world in spring and summer the guys won three big tournaments in a row and even started to build an era for themselves but they didn't get any further than the semi-finals on the two remaining Majors that year and so in October when hltv published their first edition of team rankings TSM were placed second in the whole world after fanatic also that month carrian finally got his master's degree in economics and business audit later he'll admit that he changed teams so many times and didn't really succeed with any of them because his education demanded a lot of time from him so much so that just a week before receiving an offer from dignitas he seriously considered quitting CS so that he could spend more time studying after a while the players had a conflict with TSM about their manager and the guys started to pay the manager salary out of their own Pockets at the end of 2015 the Danes decided to create their own own brand where each player would be a co-owner that's how astralis was created 2016 rolls around and the results just get worse in May the guys only took eighth place in the ESL pro league and carrian said I've been playing in this team for a while now and now we're losing to the opponents that we would easily Crush inditas we're officially in a slump in October 2016 Finn got benched because of bad results the main reason given was his stats which indeed were worse in comparison to 2015 but carrian thinks that it wasn't the main reason why he got kicked let's dig into that leaving astralis Finn immediately joined FaZe Clan it's very important to understand that back then FaZe wasn't some Superstar team like it is today but rather a roster of rejects kind of like leftovers was it was a place where all the players who couldn't find a decent team could call home before carrian came Thoren even called FaZe a cemetery for dying players at that time the team was in a desate need of a good leader who could get everything under control and build some kind of a system previously that had been Robin's job but since valve restricted the communication between the coach and players he couldn't do it all himself anymore Finn's bad stats weren't a big problem for FaZe because they had a lot of individually strong players that could easily compensate for that from carrian all they needed was good leadership our hero remembers that he had a lot of doubts about his future back then in 1.6 he was a superstar with a lot of MVP medal but who is he now he asked himself am I ready to say goodbye to all of this and admit that my best years are just in the past in the end he accepted this new reality and didn't prioritize his personal stats anymore carrigan's only concern now was how good his team played in an official announcement from astralis Finn's position was presented in a very positive but fake way like we had some amazing times thank you for everything we wish you the best blah blah blah blah but in talk with journalists carrian reveals what truly happened there in FaZe I can breathe freely while in astralis something always pressured me although we had the potential to be the best in the world I felt no trust in myself I asked them to give me another chance for just a few tournaments maybe just maybe my play style will work and we'll come back to the previous level but they said no I responded if you don't even want to try my Approach then you should start looking for a new captain and I immediately got benched as a player I forgot what it's like to feel comfortable and safe and just enjoy Counterstrike now I'm in a team that is doing everything for me and more importantly has a lot of trust in me here I can make any decisions and know that they will be respected and not doubted carrian used to joke that now he's in a team where people have forgotten what it's like to play with an actual in-game leader the brightest example of this was ay who in Finn's words often times just didn't know what to do on the map in just a couple of days though carrian assigned him some base r roles and positions to play like a connector on Mirage and a immediately started playing a lot better sadly the team had one problem that could only be fixed by changing a player here's how Finn described it in phase we had three people with strict role requirements ay rain and Jacob if I didn't give them proper roles they wouldn't unleash their full potential I as a player always took unwanted positions and I'm more than happy to help my team in such a way but I needed one more person who could do the same I couldn't find the key for how to fit Jacob in my system so we moved him to the bench and took kioshima fa's results with carrian were pretty mediocre yeah they solidified themselves into the top 10 and made it to the playoffs on the major in January 2017 but they still hadn't shown anything outstanding that all changed in February though when the organization bought one of the most important players in its history we assume you know who we're talking about carrian said once we were lacking a player like device snacks or coldzera who will always always make a lot of frags for us Nico became that person he could put everything into his hands and even call something out in the future carrian went on to say that he did the right thing by choosing Nico over screen he will confidently call Kovach the best player in the world and add to that that he had so much trust in Nikola that he could send him to another part of the map to be a second caller signing Nico really helped FaZe improve their results the guy finished second in kadav and Sydney won the star Series in keev and gave a good fight to brazils in the cologne semi-finals they had pretty high hopes for the major in crack off and the players even dreamed about winning the whole event but instead the orgs suffered from one of the biggest failures in its history FaZe didn't win a single game in the group stage and left the major in 16th Place getting eliminated by flip side on Mirage electronic on The High Ground himself Last Man Standing the bomb is down again the one versus it's caragan the in-game leader the Talisman for face can he can't do it flip side hello have finally done it 16 to 10 they've taken over the line they had so many rounds to do it and eventually they did an amazing stuff as well for the the young blood for electronic the up andc to put the final nail in the coffin that they put FaZe into and then buried that was carrian said that by this time FaZe had hit a dead end in their training process and couldn't find a way out of it he thinks that the failure in crack off was just an extension of that so everyone agreed that changes were inevitable soon enough the guy said goodbye to Alo and Kio and signed Olaf meister and guardian the new players joined in August 2017 and by October they were already the number one team in hltv rankings this was the moment when FaZe completely got rid of the reject team status and became a Powerhouse full of Superstars okay carrian thought we'll do our best to prepare for the next major in January 2018 FaZe was a top three team in the world and had a great chance of winning the e-league major you probably know what happened there the guys reached the Grand Final and lost to Cloud9 who had the best tournament in the history of North American csgo after that failure their results became worse and worse moreover Olaf got sick and had to go inactive for some time carrian remembers that pH picked very different players to stand in for the swed and it was hard for them to fit into the team structure Finn used to say I can't make the team strong enough not knowing who I'm going to be playing with at the next tournament in general that year was pretty bleak and in December carrian found himself on the bench but that time was a pretty dark period for carrian he noticed that the team wasn't really listening to him anymore and so he said either you believe in me or let me just be a support player and what do you think happened Nico quickly stepped forward and became an igl and carrian suddenly became just a support player with a bad rating so it was no surprise for anyone that he got kicked oh and at the beginning of 2019 Finn played on a minor With Envy but we won't talk about that in detail because he had zero plans on staying there at that time good old ma was also going through a pretty lousy time they had to bench three players now and frankly didn't know what to do next then carrian showed up just in the nick of time on March 14 Finn signed a contract with Mae again and the or greeted him by saying welcome carrian he will not just be our captain but also our Visionary if you think about it Ma was the first roster in carrigan's career that was gathered specifically for him earlier he joined dignitas an already formed team that had a specific need for a captain and FaZe who were in carrigan's words a bunch of superstars that no one wanted to play with but with ma the story is completely different the or gave carrian a blank slate and had full trust in him Finn remembers that the hardest aspect of working with young players was to instill in them the right play style ropes Frozen and walki were completely different players to each other for instance Robin preferred to take over one position and hold it at all costs while osgar couldn't wait to push enemies as a leader and Mentor carrian needed to integrate these players in his system in a way that would unleash their potential to the foolest while also remembering that their gut instinct might be wrong and that they had to be listening to Finn too Ma made it to the hltv top 10 in just three short months but come Autumn they fa the first big obstacle without any obvious reason the guys failed at two events in a row which made the young players start to worry carrian needed to get this situation under control so he gathered everyone at a boot camp and hired a sports psychiatrist to help them there the guys started doing Simple Things to improve their chemistry with each other like having dinner together they also mixed in-game rules for a bit and Chang Frozen to be a lurker fortunately this effort paid off by the winter of 2019 mous had been stable in the hltb top three they won almost $700,000 from four tournaments in less than a month and their hopes for the next season were obviously high in February 2020 the guys took first place on ice challenge then finished second at ESL pro league but as soon as Esports switched to being online Ma's results became worse moreover walki decided to leave for that Cloud9 super team that we've covered on a previous video of ours carrian was trying very hard to fix the situation but the fire in his eyes was slowly dying for instance in the fall he said that their main goal would not be taking some high ranking at a tournament but to fix their internal issues in that period there were only two good things that happened firstly Finn proposed to his girlfriend and she said yes and secondly Thoren pointed out the fact fact that carrian plays very well against his old teams a British analyst had counted that in the last 3 years Finn had won 75% of the games against his old teams in the semi-finals and grandfinals of big tournaments in carrigan's words ma started to suffer a lot at the very beginning of the lockdown they had to bench walki and fire their coach Regin and all of his responsibilities had been transferred to be fins now he couldn't bear such a workload and stay effective with all his love for ma carrian was sad about the fact that he wasn't able to point at any player he wanted for the org to buy them out for instance rain himself wanted to join Mae to play alongside our hero but FaZe asked too much for his buyout it was a matter of money not trust and Ma understanding the situation perfectly tried to not sign a lot of experienced players but instead find and then nurture younger prospects looking at Ma's NXT now the guys clearly succeeded but carrian felt that by now he was just more interested in working with a team of experienced players rather than starting over with a team of young players who he would have to help develop and teach the ropes so he didn't extend his contract with mouse but Finn made this decision with a heavy heart because everyone in the team and organization had complete trust in him and he knew the cost of leaving better than anyone but carrian also knew that if he stayed and the team didn't succeed then he would have no choice but to sign a young player and teach him a bunch buch of basic things our hero simply didn't have time for it anymore in February 2021 carrian joined FaZe by an invitation from the org FaZe promised him that he could build a team around the team we're talking about psychologists performance coaches and analyst Team all the bells and whistles Finn liked the idea a lot moreover his fiance was studying to become a sports psychologist which helped carrian develop a new and improved plan to enhance his stats within a year talking about the team's plans the Dan said that he doesn't really care about the next few events FaZe were focused on one thing the major in November all the lands before that would just be a step in the training process in summer the team lost coldzera because they couldn't agree on how things should go on the server and FaZe had to bring Olaf back from the bench with their training process now disrupted the results which weren't great earlier became even worse so FaZe came to that major as the 11th best team in the world and couldn't even make it to the playoffs in the winter transfer window the organization signed Rose carrigan's favorite player in the world at that moment Robin's contract was due at the beginning of 2022 and the Estonian Beast had gotten a ton of offers from Top teams and though phases latest results weren't that great robes still picked them it turns out that this whole time carrian knew that one day he was going to sign Robin so he kept in touch with him well his secret plan worked carrian had very high hopes for the next season his individual skills were indeed better thanks to that plan he developed with his fiance and with the combined Firepower of ropes twists and broy it was possible to defeat pretty much any opponent moreover carrian was sure that these three would make it into the yearly top 10 by hltv and he got that almost right broi was placed sixth ropes eighth and twists 11th Finn used to say that he couldn't help but smile seeing how perfectly the guys played together their first land event I m in kadav turned out to be a big success FaZe went there with a standin but managed to not lose a single map in the playoffs coming in at third place in hltv rankings and in April when the guys won ESL proleague they were for sure the best team in the world and well you know what happened in May carrian finally lifted a major Trophy and ra he's not done he gets his 30 and B to breakes away one [Applause] go they have got [Applause] it carrian replaced Zeus as the oldest major winner in Counter-Strike history and celebrated that win with a wedding in August until October FaZe were the number one team in the world by the the end of the year they also had won in Cologne and people used to joke that carrian speedrun CS securing the major kadav and cologne all in one year sadly the team finished 2022 with some bad results they failed at the major and broki and Rain showed their worst performances that year it's still unclear what really happened with FaZe but the main thing is that in 2023 they came back stronger and won the ESL pro league it was the last event to secure a million dollars from the Intel Grand Slam and carrian made it to the top 10 CS players by prize earnings in the second half of 2023 FaZe got themselves into another scramble and finished three events in a row in 9th through 12th places but fortunately they trained a lot in CS2 and managed to win the first big tournament in the new version of the game and Grim alone has Face Clan I've heard him it's done it's Sly done breathe that in a sound he'll never grow tired of fa glan quiet this year but coming into the new game it turns out that that imem in Sydney was just the beginning of fa's Victory streak after that they won an online tournament for half a million dollars and became the champions of Cs Asian championships in other words FaZe became the first number one team in CS too sadly the team had to make a replacement even though their results were impressive to say the least twist still wanted to leave for liquid so FaZe had to Bid Farewell to him and sign Frozen that way the golden mouse core was reunited again but we're excited to see how the guys will play with an updated roster obviously carrian is not the player you pick for making an hourlong frag video moreover you can't really call him the best captain in CS history because well there's glaive with four major titles under his belt but carrian standout trait is his consistency just think about it he's the only person in the world who had a top tier career in 1.6 then won every big title in CS goo and now has secured three s tier tournaments in CS2 you really can't say that about any other player do you agree with us saying that carrian is the most consistent player in the history of Cs let's chat about it in the comments and as always don't forget to leave a like And subscribe if you want to see more content like this bye for now guys guys
