The Story of Magisk

[Music] every other team in the world goes to bed at night and this is what they see Australis now their nightmare [Music] [Applause] [Music] when you think that is strong what's the first name that pops into your head is it this one and it looks like device just like in the pistol just going to stop the fly and he picks up the device and Glee and device yet again what about this of the flash Bob people works though I'm an efficient limited weapons how sick is this program he's cooking for the eight this tournament and now we're getting called [Applause] if it's neither of those it's got to be this one and they get the timing down I'm just movin up on the other side of him and see if he's gonna be turning his back at the house of one elf the alley with the patients play coming out flashbang is in there now 25 seconds headshot coming in from siblings what complain hell he do he has to find the bomb and make his way onto a site and look at the angle here this is not easy be alley way out and the Albany gets shot down that big for the 103 watch Oh whichever one it is there's a good chance it isn't the name that was most recently added to their roster he is a little bit crazy and he does play a little bit unpredictably at times so I think it's gonna be super interesting now that obviously like I think once you get past the honeymoon period is where it's gonna that's where the real test is I think and one that some people still aren't sure how to pronounce yeah that one I just caught me off okay Pacific but Morgan's just - you're asking - there's a good chance that you didn't think of good old magic soy as a star player before he joined Astralis but your opinion has definitely changed this is the story of how seemingly innocuous player turned a group of talented but historically inconsistent chokers into the greatest csgo roster of all time this is the story of a magical boy becoming a man this is the story of magic honestly I can't see why we shouldn't be the best team in the world because we are the best team in the world [Music] Amil magic rife never set out to become a professional counter-strike player it just kind of happened growing up in Denmark he was exposed to the game at a very young age considering it was one of his friends and family's favorite pastimes he was only eight years old when he played 1.6 for the first time and even then demonstrated a natural affinity for the game it was in 2015 at 17 that majus then known as majesty i got his semi-professional start in the kings of nordic series he went on to serve short stints in both MTW and epiphany bolt before being asked to stand in for sk gaming for the remainder of ESEA Pro League season to having just suffered the departure of Danish up-and-comer config SK needed someone to fill his slot so majus obliged still people were unsure as to how he performed there's something I'm particularly distrust the players that are in this team it's just that some of them like magic boy I don't know that well and this boy banders prior to acquiring majesty i eske's pro league record was oh and 11 by the end of the season they had gone up to 6 and 16 and were able to avoid relegation as a result it was here in these online matches that majus boy realized he was capable of trading blows with the best of them the problem is that he was developing a reputation for being an online player become his first land that would all change that could be the final nail in the coffin zip ex coming in from CT spawn I know it is sk-gaming knockout tqm on the second day the fragbite masters can you believe unbelievable after guaranteeing himself a top 3 finish Majesty I went on to face one of the best teams in the world and fnatic can put on a show-stopping performance it's actually things of a law he can still get to be a break now Crim's is just going to arrive in time though to cut him off from short fight magic seems to have an idea what I saw was that holy [ __ ] I can't even help myself that was insane eske may have lost the series but not before Majesty made his first mark on the professional counter-strike seen online he's being comparable to the likes of AZ and his flagging ability is off this charts and that's sure I learned this shows you what he is capable of absolutely nuts around there for magic boy unfortunately eske's results were never very good after that by mid-2016 they dropped the roster entirely and majus was invited to join Team Dignitas there he joined Cajun B who astrologist discarded in favor of gr b and convict who was quickly establishing himself as one of Denmark's greatest talents before long Denmark's three hallmark teams were vying for the title of the country's best roster danish CS had entered a rebuilding period and majus boy was hoping to come out on top but the competition was stiff thus many good teams and the team I want to play the least is probably a solace or heroic because we know them so well and we have played them so many times so it's always like who have the best day who's gonna win the problem was that Majesty I wasn't considered one of Denmark's tier 1 talents sure he was a great player and no stranger to brilliance and you can just see trying to scour out every positional once he knows he's gonna be getting pushed from all angles and they all coming in roughly at the same time hungry one man is one and he fights the second now this has just got a little bit interesting Maddox can he go big when Nene PSC can he picks up all four frags but he just wasn't on the same level as some of the country's best players look at a boost they're gonna trying to over oranges no it looked like flush was gonna put what up but it's carryin this time that will hold it off not typical in oranges to Kerrigan it's Danny Kaye in his hand and there they go for the knife and return I think they tried it I literally think the player that ran through from water I'm not mistaken it was Dupree tried to get the knife much of this had to do with his inconsistent play Majesty was known for being a wild player one whose emotions often got the better of him this is a dangerous position to be in they're all coming around the corner he picked up the first headshot not gonna go for the second one snatch will take him out Cajun had already fallen back he couldn't really help him out up at the corner there so a little bit unfortunate because if Cajun could have been there once magic is the first kill of Cajun is there to repeat with the AWB it's very hard for voters Pro to punish that's kind of a setup and then in November of 2016 Majesty I had his day I don't think I've ever seen VP diss defeated especially not in the grand finals they just have no clue what's hit them very very absurd to be watching how could you do this they still have a couple of flashbangs left even on date this house here virtus Pro it's now whatever just go for it they're being flying as well make is picking the one kill Snax going down there it is data tough picking up a piece and a Moscow the biggest victory late for this team coming out of epicenter things were looking all right for Dignitas the issue is that about a month later the stars finally aligned between Astralis in the in-game leader they'd spent years trying to acquire glaive within a matter of weeks the battle for Denmark was over with played at the helm astralis earned six top six finishes at premier events one of which was a long-awaited major win in January of 2017 where was majus you asked also at the major his first ever but playing under North since Dignitas dropped their Danish roster in favor of a North American one following a straws his Serge I don't think of ever in my life been so nervous before so it was really speechless when we finally close out the game it was a bit more close than I would have liked to but it was so amazing to play and and get doing despite making it out of groups North suffered a gut-wrenching loss to virtus Pro in the quarterfinals he's dropped the bomb with 53 seconds to go into three versus two for virtus Pro the flag Cajun goes down Conn fake fight for your life he finds tabs it's late he's got to get to kneels and come back against North after that loss Magister formance started to dip North achieve a slew of subpar results between Atlanta and the next major and crack of where they suffered yet another quarterfinal exclusion at the hands of virtus Pro this time magic wasn't looking so hot to try and stave off match point pain they just had Eagles and tech nights here oh no and that's the kill from neo taking down maze it is not looking trying to see if they can get down by their standing on some of the fire are getting shot for the smoke and the alligator block them off with a small raiding Cajun goes down [Applause] Phillips the water ironically it was virtus Pro who found majus crying in the lobby after North had benched him following their elimination from the major some speculated that it was because of his play others because of what an emotional player he was Maja's felt as if he'd hit rock bottom [Music] down but not out it wasn't long before magic was asked to join optic gaming's new european roster he achieved regional success in north america but internationally still struggled to set himself apart he's waiting he's playing it patiently my just got no idea the second purpose is missed ten seconds so it may not end up mattering so majestic watch this would pull off some ridiculous play and it won't be happening on this time fnatic have done it to odd and then something happened that would change the entire course of Maja's career convinced that Astros was a sinking ship weeks before he was supposed to renew his contract the RB abandoned them to join North I feel still feel like we're good friends but it all honesty I we would just have appreciated a conversation about it because also still at the moment we really don't know why when it came to finding TR B's replacement Astralis could have had any Dame they wanted they were major winners after all and despite device's health problems were still considered the country's top roster the overwhelming expectation was that they'd pick up the biggest Danish star who wasn't on Astralis convict the issue is that his role as an entry Fragger conflicted with that of Dupree so to everyone's surprise he chose majus no I didn't expect to join Australia it kind of came as a shock but I'm happy I got the chance from them and it was at the very moment of his joining that something changed not only within majus but within a strongest there's the flashback over yes coz to the way let the follow-up spray nitro walks right into it there goes twisting zip mix here's a increased speed from liquid but claims gonna get that first kill and Dupree manages things all in a pistol whip that's nice they are gonna be flanked out a good entry from Aegis though and here's nice well usually gotta come through the smoke if they want a chance with everyone for Miss chalice is just straight up winning Australis had always been a tremendous roster so people weren't necessarily surprised when they took Dreamhack masters in Marseille in March of 2018 what they didn't know is that a straw 'lest had just kicked off the greatest dynasty in the history of csgo they went on to win ESL season 7 1b to sneak in on up they have inspired him yeah he's gonna get in close finds the first now just has nap to deal where the magic is gonna find them both here he is tucked away in the heart he's gonna get smoked off there on the bomb there stick and in tacos on Italy put together you're champions here in Dallas at strongness ECS season 5 you can't try to pick him up but he must get a composition as well device is coming in from her back oh he spent the first shot but the second was good enough for on one of all of a sudden he perceives it up in the footsteps that there is is good for two kills his teammates Tampines got time to reload bats all the way towards competition and it makes himself to get shot in the legs that's three kills on me absolutely what's this and the eleague premiere just find something weird that a small cat handled another dry pickford of ice and another opening kill and he's gonna go for the follow-up he's blind man just has got an aide kill again the round is over and why not continue challenging you're on fire here's the push-up mid magic fighting as he retreats out of the land anything but how has he done that two kills somehow so man it's your allylic ramier champions before steamrolling their way to a second major win in London [Applause] obviously the plates with little bit not sure if he did na'vi don't expect this the problem is even with our kill this is a lot of information ding God their mast is you taking out all right Learner's hear it chorus trolleys it became clear that magic was exactly what astralis had needed to take a group of habitually inconsistent stars to the stars to become the best version of themselves that in picking up this hard-working but otherwise innocuous Dane they've achieved some kind of secret formula our goal is 100% to win the Grand Slam it hasn't been done before it's a thing that would mean a lot to us and it's also one of our yeah it's basically the one thing we're playing for right now it also became clear that a straw list was exactly what magic had needed to become the player he always dreamed of in terms of his mentality you have to use that nerve is something good and that's what we try to do all the time and and use it as something to to make us even better as players his reputation and Lord knows in terms of his play so it falls on matches it he lines up to body's already finds the timing that's for how about a fit it's an ace for magic and every once in a while he'd make a point of reminding everyone how far he'd come some super fancy set piece or strategy it's just a vice getting an angle better be out from a gist you do absolutely love to see it with the astrologer go proudly situated on his chest majus will go on to rack up seven more first-place finishes becoming one of the first players to win Intel's million dollar Grand Slam and earned his second consecutive major title in Katowice but you can't mess with greatness you can with history and these guys are writing it at every event Intel Extreme Masters champion majors back to back [Applause] life had been moving fast is that first fateful win in Marseille and it was sometimes difficult to keep track of all of it you also have been crowned MVP really this tournament it's not it is wow this is first MVP ever I'm glad we were here for that and yet through it all Maja's has remained both humble and hardworking he knows full well that he's living the dream that he's achieved Heights which most superstars never will and has never stopped being grateful for the opportunity we've been working hard for like the last so many months that it's just amazing to see that it finally pays off and that we actually managed to go all the way from the qualifier to to win the actual major so that's just amazing and at this point it doesn't matter whether a strong win another major whether their era continues on indefinitely or crashes to a halt they've already cemented themselves as the greatest team to ever live and it's all because they took a chance on one magical board [Music] thanks for watching if you want more content like this hit the sub button and ring that
