Team SoloMid vs Virtus.pro PGL Season 1 Finals 

Thanks for watching folks, we just hit 90 million views! I have considered stopping the professional match casting and focusing on other content, but folks have been asking in the comments for one for a while now, so here it is. Let me know if you guys really want this to continue, I don't get as many views etc. doing these, and a lot of subscribers have expressed a lack of interest in this kind of content from me. Thanks again!

More please!!! And tbh this series doesn't seem to get so much less views. Looking at your past videos, Matchmaking academy: 235k, 170k, 194k, 189k, 283k, 200k, 200k, 215k, 212k Warowl Weekly: 164k, 166k, 155k, 143k, 200k, 200k Unboxafragathon: 150k, 355k, 312k, 331k, 310k, 300k, 360k, 515k, 430k Strat Talk: 180k, 289k, 209k, 132k, 205k, 224k, 200k, 137k, 166k, 160k, 211k, Pro match: 140k, 225k, 146k, 114k, 237k, 200k, 145k, 182k, 245k, 221k, 144k, 200k, 417k, 211k, 200k They do have equal views on most matches and just ~30% less views on some specific ones. The few exceptions are noticable, but I wouldn't doom the entire series because of it. Unboxafragathon is obviously falling out of the pattern because...damn it's just so great, and Strat talk beeing a little higher because it's still up to date after months. I don't know the ratio of like/dislike for your match casts but I think they are one of the things that make your channel so special and I've learned a lot only watching you talk about these matches - because you are doing really well. If you want clicks - do unboxafragathon every 3 days, but I think that the match casts really increase the understanding for the game if one is interested. Like we know, the best thing after playing yourself is watching pros do it - and it is very important to have a leading hand showing the important aspects of everything that is going on there. The videos that aren't beeing watched that often are either because of rather unknown teams or early tournament matches in group stages that normal people don't care about. But the ones that these videos are aimed at, the ones that are watching them full length to learn the game, should be the important viewers for you. Because if you think that we can learn the most from this out of all the hundreds of matches that are available - then we shall learn from it. It's the small balance between entertaining and teaching people. If you want to go for clicks and money, do the clickey stuff. But if you wanna stick to your philosophy of making CS:GO a more popular competitive (not only entertaining) game you may just tell people that they do not always get what they want. I am 100% certain that the fun faction will win by numbers if you ask your viewers (and hell you are a fun guy) but you have to ask yourself if this is what you wanted to go for. Any way I will keep following you because you are damn awesome and I will learn with every video. And people will still love you with one or two professional matches inbetween.Thanks for reading.

are you kidding! I love your casting! But to keep it more manageable for you... Maybe stick with the very best games to cast, or the best matches for teaching and showing off new styles of play.

Pro matches are the reason I subscribed. That was a long time ago, and I love all of your other content, but I don't catch a lot of the pro games on twitch. Even when I do, I would re-watch it just to hear you commentate over it. So please, keep doing these. I'd love to see at least one a week.

Please keep doing these. I feel like a global elite after listening to your tips and tricks for an hour and then go into a match only to realize that I'm my own sad rank again.

I love these :D

I love the casting, I rarely am able to see the games live, and your analysis of the strats are really great. Please keep them going

Keep up the great work! Your professional match videos (and all the others too) helped me a lot getting better and i think it's important for everyone who wants to get better, to watch professional players. To watch their movement, their timing, their strats, when to buy, to save, to rotate - just everything. Of course u won't learn playing CS GO by watching videos, but you'll get a hint. I started on silver 3 and it took me hours and hours on dm and mm servers, but at least i got better and better and now i'm supreme - thanks for that!

This is literally the reason I watch your fucking channel, I want to watch the games. I skip everything else. You're the best caster I've experienced, so please, don't stop doing these. I'm just one person, though, but know that I'd be really happy if I got my WarOwl CS:GO games casting fix more often.

Keep doing them! Just watching the pros and hearing your little tidbits while casting has been some of the most help I've gotten from this channel.

thats one clever crouching by dupreeh at 23:18!

please do comment on all the good things they do and we should try on mm comment on all the good things they do that we shouldnt give me knowleage pls, feed me

You should definetly do more casts, i really like them and have learned a lot from them!

You should keep going with these dude, watching these with your commentary has helped me so much with understanding the game outside of your mm academy and the other videos

Your pro match casts are the only casts I watch, and are what got me interested in the pro scene. The reason why I keep watching is that you cast from the perspective of a true fan of the game. Not only do you entertain, but you try and break down a play or strat and try and learn from it. I have learned more from watching your pro matches than anything else. Please don't stop.

How about like a 10-15 minute highlight that you find interesting enough to share from each professional match? This way everyone is happy :D

I was gonna bet on VP. Lounge servers saved my skins xD

*I remember you asking yourself or your audience thinking about why you don't get involved in casting tournaments, live stuff.*

Warowl, I really did miss these pro match castings. I have literally watch all of your castings and you make it so exciting. Thx for starting it up again.

These are pretty much the only matches of CSGO I watch. Please continue to put out these well-performed and high class match commentaries.

I bet the next knife will be a tomahawk. write my words.

This is basically the only thing I watch on your channel Please don't stop

MOARR

Your casting stile, in tandem with your knowledge of the game and the professional scene, is incredible. I absolutely love your pro match casting videos.

i absolutely love your casting. probably my favorite thing on your channel. please dont stop. your commentaries make me think about alot of interesting things in those matches that i would've missed otherwise.

Pls upvote if you like the idea! Hey warowl, im IGL in my LEM Team and i regulary watch our Demos and the Demos of pros like you showcase them as well to analyse them. What i would be very interested with would be a series where you dont showcase not only one round like in strattalk but an actual half or a whole Game with the most Important plays and rounds slowly analysed and reviewed in the video. Kind of like a mix of your promatch commantary and strat talk. I think with that you could also be interesting for people with a higher skilllevel then dmg since most of your Videos are about basic stuff like peaking corners, throwing nades, bombplantposition, communication etc.. I really hope you could do something like this in the future! Grettings Tim

0:17:18 nice face :D

More pro matches! Also, pasha OP

It really helps me with my own performance. Make more of these commentaries because you explain their strats and i use them to play comp and it works :)

You're my favorite CSGO caster, like it's hard to watch a pro match that isn't casted by you because you know the game so well you can describe everything that is going on with ease.

Dupreeh's karambit is called "odd looking buttplug"😂

I always look forward to you casting! :D You should cast some more lower tier NA games because they play a more "puggy" style and you could talk about the pros and cons of some of the plays that these teams make.

If TheWarOwl replies to this I can die happy

I actually really like these long videos. I can put them on my other monitor when working or just chilling. Please don't stop them. Ever.

dear warowl- this is by far what youre best at, youre easily one of the best csgo commenators on youtube. you don't need to do an hour and a half vid of these games, but a couple every now and then is why myself and most of us are here.

Do another solo queue to global elajt :p

Leaf a like for our reptilian overlord! Hissss

I want MOOOAR!!!

Please don't stop this series. I prefer your casting over the "professional" one. Keep up the great work!

Please don't stop this series! This is one of the most entertaining series you produce, and I would love to watch it blossom in the future :D

what happened to the owl vision

WarOwl, i hope you read this lol, i am in high school at the moment and i want to be an engineer in software, what was your experience with the career? do you recommend it if i've always had a big passion for games and computers and i would love to develop games or applications? i'll take answers from anyone who studied or is studying that:D

leaf a like

Your casts are way more informative and entertaining than any others available on youtube. I'd say keep'em coming

WarOwl, please keep doing these casts. Your commentary heightens my appreciation of competitive CS.

I really like your professional match casting, personally. It's nice to have a familiar person explain what's going on, especially when you're able to highlight a particularly interesting moment. Hope others agree so you keep making more of these :)

Who else comes back to these just to watch the perfect videos. Nostalgic csgo and the entertaining casting from WarOwl?

Please WarOwl continue with your casts, it's one of the best series of videos in your channel.

Hey WO, in terms of your question at the beginning, I would definitely like to see you continue to do these casts. You're the only channel I would go to watch something like this - I'm not heavily invested in the competitive scene, so I don't watch merely for the two teams, but rather just to hear your great casting. I also like your commentary on specific plays; I can play a map 100 times the same way, and watch one of your casts, see you point out a pro play, and attempt that in game. It's a great learning experience for me and these videos are fun to watch. I would really like to see you continue to make these great casts! ~ All the best

Honestly, without you casting these games, i don't watch professional cs. I love watching it keep it up

honestly i enjoy watching these pro matches commentated by you rather than the regular guys, you make the game more interesting

yes!! please do this more. this is my favourite series of yours. I get to watch pro games and learn from both the players actions and your insightful knowledge and analysis. it's awesome. keep it up. I really hope to see you cast pro games at events or even online or both in the near future!!

I came for the matchmaking academy, but stayed for the casting. It's my favorite thing about your channel. Please keep them coming. I've watched everyone since I subbed. not sure if going too far back is a good idea considering how the game has been changing. fewer lessons to draw from old games maybe?

Please make more of these. Even if it isn't incredibly often I love them and they are my favorite part of your channel.

This was absolutely fantastic WarOwl, fun gameplay, great commentary and explanations for those of us who aren't up on the pro scene, really enjoyed this video! If you make more I'd certainly be happy so hope you do! :D

Casting Pro matches is what you do best WarOwl, it's the reason I subbed a couple years ago and I watch every one!

i adored these when you made them regularly, it was the best way I could see the pro play in an interesting light, because your commentary is always so insightful

Please keep on making these. Those of us that watch these videos love them. I feel personally it's your best content.

hell. yes. been waiting for another pro match cast, thanks so much. you are so great at doing these - great analysis of the strats and gameplay, and you're just so easy to listen to. keep it up warowl - pro match castings are my favourite content from you.

I just found your channel since i'm new to CS:GO, but i love what you're doing here. You cover EVERYTHING that's happening in the world of counter-strike and it really helped me get a tad better at the game. Keep doing what you're doing. You don't get to call your self the war owl for nothing man. CHEERS!

Warowl YES! Please do more of this. Its my favorite way to watch the games. I love your shoutcasting better than anyone else's. You have the best shoutcasting IMO. I wish you did it professionally for ESL or something.

Please do not abandon your casting, it's so amazing and you nail the most important points of the action

i love your pro match commentaries, it is my favorite way to watch csgo because i dont have quite the time to find the good matches myself

Keep casting matches. I have watch almost every single match in your playlist, I love when you post a casting. Keep them up you are the best caster for CSGO in my opinion.

Dear Warowl. Its pleasure to watch pro CS:GO matches while you are casting. I guess there are a lot of people who want to watch these.

Warowl... These match casts are absolutely brilliant!! you highlight things that are usually not seen... keep em coming bro!!!

I absolutely love these. They help me so much in my own play. You provide great advice and commentary that we enjoy! Please more!

WarOwl, you truly have some great commentaries on these pro matches. I think that you really do an excellent job on these and that you should continue.

dude make more of these! I love learning the strats and how the teams think from your commentaries. For lower level players like me(DMG), its a great way to learn and finally hit the GE dream :p

yes! OMG! I watched EVERY pro match casting you've done. Watched some twice. NEED MORE

wow I stopped watching WarOwl for like 6 months and went back just now, and his commentaries are still top notch. #consistency

Please don't stop making these videos. I love watching the pro matches with your commentary and advice! Love you WarOwl :)

thank you for this casting, would love to see more compeditive castings from you. was just about to ask here, but well you did it first!

+TheWarOwl i love this series! your commentary is a much needed break from the normal casters, and you offer insights/tips&hints that the normal game casters don't seem to care about! You use these videos much like your matchmaking academy's and StratTalks! keep up the awesome work!

WarOwl keep doing these kind of videos. You are one of the best commentators for professional matches out there, better than the commentators in those tournaments.

I LOVE THIS SERIES. PLEASE DONT STOP COMMENTATING ON THE PRO MATCHES. lol this is actually the only way i watch pro matches, youre a very good commentator because you understand the game so well and notice things most other commentators dont.

Yes, I love your commentary! Competitive self commentary and pro match commentary are why I'm here :)

I love watching the pro matches. You should continue it, I would really appreciate it.

More of these would be awesome. Super entertaining and a great learning opportunity. We get to see effective strats in dynamic action, and get to hear someone competent explain through it.

please keep on casting pro-matches ! Loving it! One advise: In television the commentators have a mute button in case of coughing or sneezing, if you don't want your audience to hear it...

Hey WarOwl, the professional match casting was once "the reason" for me to follow your channel. This format was something special in the big CS community. Your funny way to cast and your voice were a pretty entertaining combination. I can imagine these videos mean a lot of work for you but in my opinion its still very unique with this high quality. For example your weekly review seems pretty similar to esea's popflash. I would like to see the professional games on your channel despite lower views...

These videos are great, i always watch them while eating, tons of useful info!

I really love your casting. Its fun watching and learning all the good tips at the same time.

These are my favorite kinds of videos. Youre the best commentator because you also teach lessons and explain the game. I make sure to watch all of these videos.

I was waiting for a pro match for a quite while now.. FINALLY ITS HERE!

Love when you cast pro matches! They are my favourite videos that you make!!

I love when you do these pro commentary's. I think that the live events should hire you. You have so many better things to say than the other people they hire

Defineltly more of the pro casts. Really like learning from what you know

I for one didn't like these type of videos but now that I want to get better it helps me improve in the style of plays that I make. By you explaining the plays that these pro players make,it helps out tremendously. Keep up the great work WarOwl. I 'm better at csgo because of all the videos you make. Thank You :D

Please dont stop making this videos. Ive learnt so much from this. Thank you!!!

This is exactly what I wanted, a VP match. Thanks Warbird

Waaaayyyy more casting, this is by far my favorite thing on your channel (and the other things are amazing)

+TheWarOwl I love your casting because you are so good at explaining the tactics and pointing out interesting plays an techniques, I actually learn ALOT from them. Please keep doing them:D

We DO want a lot of pro matches! pls keep up with these vids, they're the best, you're the best afterall

I love these videos, personally. It's great to watch while I eat or shop online. Plus your breakdowns are very instructive and applicable to the meta of CS. And ur voice is liek chocolate to my ears

I love this series as i'm an Aussie, so timezones are hard with watching games, and i'd much rather watch your casting than other professional casters.

The castings are actually the reason I subscribed to you, the other stuff is just a bonus...

I enjoy watching WarOwl commentary while having my dinner/lunch

I love watching these professional matches, please don't stop

YES KEEP MAKING MORE!!! I love your commentary on this kind of surff
