This is episode one of two about Grt's career. Grt came up playing with teams in his local Toronto LAN scene and attended CPL Summer 2005 with DeadZone. He was one of the Canadian players able to escape into an American team after. While already on Green Berets, a CAL invite level squad, but not yet a starter he was a part of the 50cal mix-team which shockingly upset the rival super-team at CPL Winter 2005. The big move of Grt's career came when he joined Pandemic in 2006. The team soon became one of the elite NA sides and capable of competing with Europe's. Their fourth place finish at WSVG NY included a win over NiP, the team of the year. This run in Pandemic meant Grt ended CS 1.6 in the top NA team. For 2007 he joined forces with shaGuar and they played Source in CGS (Championship Gaming Series) for the Chicago Chimera, who were the champions of the first season of the televised multi-game league. After CGS Grt continued to play on but the scene had shrunk drastically. It would be as a coach in CS:GO that Grt again emerged. He coached teams like Splyce, CLG and Rogue. He has since taken a position with the Pittsburgh Knights as their General Manager. In part one, Grt talks about his rise through the Toronto LAN scene, attending his first CPLs, upsetting the rival super-team with nobodies and his time playing in Green Berets. This interview was recorded on the 15th of August, 2024. ► Time-line of topics discussed: 00:00 Early days and aspirations 03:22 Significance of attending CPLs 14:46 Hockey background relating to CS career 23:31 Toronto LAN scene 29:33 Moving up through Canadian teams 34:53 Bias against French canadian players 36:16 Distance to Western Canada 38:29 CPL Summer 2005 41:19 50cal vs. rival super-team 48:00 Begrip 49:36 Sensitivity 51:24 Green Berets and James Subscribe this channel to get access to perks: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCfeeUuW7edMxF3M_cyxGT8Q/join ► Check out bite-sized Thorin on my new clips channel: https://www.youtube.com/thorinclips ► Follow me on social media: https://twitter.com/Thorin https://facebook.com/Thooorin https://www.instagram.com/thooorinofficial/ ► My written content: https://iamesports.substack.com/ ► My stream: https://www.twitch.tv/Thorin ► You can discuss this content at my Discord server: https://discord.gg/rDKxKfM ► This video was kindly supported by: Ahmed Hadjou Matt, Pugnatio, Rajcula Adam Tomlin Animosity Jensen Goh Tosh touken_ Special thanks go out to JerCkysMiNi0n. #Grt #GBJames #Thorin
