This is part three of four about moses's career. moses was a relatively early CS 1.6 pro, breaking out as a player in 2003. Playing under the leadership of older brother Hare their United5 team established themselves online and off as one of NA's best. Most famously that resulted in a seventh place finish at CPL Winter 2003 where they both defeated Team3D, NA's most famous names, and were the last remaining NA side in the tournament. moses's playing career was shortlived as he would step away from U5 when the team decided to go all local and live in a house together. moses went over to play for TEC instead where he remained a top talent, but the team did not produce big results offline. Remaining a part of the community via some content creation over the coming years it wouldn't be until CS:GO moses would fully emerge again. Early on playing with former team-mate fRoD, moses would make a full return to relevance as a commentator and analyst in around 2015. He quickly became a permanent part of the CS broadcast talent rotation. After many years of working as a desk analyst alongside myself he would form a commentary duo with Anders and later dinko. moses has worked at every single CS major from ESL One Cologne 2015 onwards with the exception of PGL Antwerp in 2022. In part three, moses gets into how he became broadcast talent, meeting Anders and Semmler, duoing with me on the desk and podcasts and some of the early majors he worked. This interview was recorded on the 5th of October, 2025. ► Time-line of topics discussed: 00:00 Starting to work with ESEA 04:16 Valuing opportunities early 07:03 Job offers and paths not taken 13:12 Meeting Anders and Semmler 17:49 Perception of himself 23:19 Prefers being a commentator over analyst 26:24 Dreamhack Cluj-Napoca major and people taking a pay cut to get him in 30:40 ELEAGUE 44:20 Duo with me and styles of analysis 56:05 MLG Columbus major 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 ► Want esports predictions?
