Zeus Hits Out at Thorin Following Natus Vincere\u2019s ESL One: Cologne Win Thorin Image: StarLadderDanylo \u2018Zeus\u2019 Teslenko has responded to criticism from Duncan \u2018Thorin\u2019 Shields with some heated words after Na\u2019Vi took the ESL One: Cologne 2018 title. The 30 year old Ukrainian is often the subject of criticism when Natus Vincere\u2019s CS:GO team struggles to perform as he tends to be one of the weakest players in terms of statistics. However, as an in-game leader he is one of the most successful in the history of any iteration of Counter-Strike, winning major international titles in both 1.6 and Global Offensive. Zeus returned to his position in Na\u2019Vi in August of 2017 but the team struggled to find the form that was expected of them, even with Oleksandr \u2018s1mple\u2019 Kostyliev performing like the best player in the history of the game.

After taking the win, Zeus took to Twitter to respond to some criticism from Thorin\u2019s comments about him being a \u201cgreat leader but what a bot\u201d, and he didn\u2019t hold back: Good thing I\u2019m a bot winning my 3rd event in a row, while you watch our games and pretend like you know what\u2019s going on. Since you never achieved anything signficant in CS, I don\u2019t find your statements competent, neither do I think you\u2019re worthy of being an analyst. No respect. https:\/\/t.co\/GlwGo7bLcn \u2014 Daniil Teslenko (@ZeusCS_GO) July 8, 2018 The storied player clearly doesn\u2019t rate Thorin\u2019s opinions, saying that he doesn\u2019t believe he is competent or \u201cworthy of being an analyst\u201d. While the two clearly won\u2019t be the best of friends at the moment, it seems likely that they will be able to squash the beef when emotions aren\u2019t running so high.

While it is unlikely that Zeus will ever be the team\u2019s top performer on the scoreboard, his vision for roster finally seems to be materialising as he leads them to ever more impressive results.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
