Donk & Zywoo are the two greatest players to ever touch this game.
I'm 39, I grew up watching Forest, Spawn, Get\_Right, Neo, etc...
I've watched S1mple carry Navi, Astralis redefine utility, VP hold W for a major, and the Brazilians dominate.
However, the ceiling now is higher, people keep debating if PRIME Vitality would beat PRIME Astralis, yes, 100%. What are you honestly doing against Zywoo/Ropz. Do you think PRIME Device is better than Zywoo? Delusional thoughts.
Nostalgia has a tendency of giving bonus points in our reasoning, but let's be honest, PRIME Astralis would struggle with Mouz/Navi, let alone Spirit/Falcons/Vitality.
You have a ridiculous amount of talent at the academy level, even Faceit level 10s in some regions, that just like professional sports, you don't know until they get their shot.
Donk & Zywoo have the most insane impact when you think about it. Not only their performance, but the mental they put on other players when they are performing, or alive in a clutch. Donk is BY FAR the greatest FPS rifler of all time, he is noticeably better than everyone else, especially at tier 1, as well as the game sense, which for a young kid is absurd that he thinks the way he does.
Zywoo has the better team, yes. Right now, probably not, but top 2 for sure. I still put Falcons at 3rd and honestly think Niko needs to be replaced with someone younger that performs more consistently. However, S1mple was never better than Zywoo, to be frank.
Yes, different games, different styles, different eras, but even Monesy being as great as he is, is not as good as Donk or Zywoo, and Monesy is better than any CSGO pro, including S1mple.
I fear that the Vitality era is coming to a close, and will soon be like Navi of old, when they are pumping, they are absolutely pumping, otherwise, it's a 50/50. I would love to see Ropz/Zywoo hop off the Vitality train and go elsewhere, like replacing Torzi with Zywoo and bringing glory back to Mouz, or replacing Niko with Ropz.
Also think KSCERATO needs to stop comparing himself to Donk in interviews, that dude is more hot/cold than microwaved food. We get it, you're Brazilian, super confident about everything, when you win you act like an arrogant child, but you're legit 50% of what Donk or Zywoo or even Money is. You aren't the star you think you are. You're a Mezzi, a Flamez, a Xantares. Cut it out nerd.
Just my opinion ofc.
