Thorin Surprises Everyone with His Comments on Natus Vincere’s Victory at ESL Pro League 23

Duncan “Thorin” Shields did not appreciate Natus Vincere’s victory in the grand final of the ESL Pro League 23 Counter-Strike 2 tournament.

The analyst shared this opinion on X.

“This is fake gold for Natus Vincere. Yes, winning a tournament with this field of participants looks impressive, but defeating The Mongolz, FUT, and Aurora to win a Tier 1 event is something else.”

According to Duncan “Thorin” Shields, the team’s victory means nothing, since Natus Vincere had to play against fairly weak opponents, against whom the team was the clear favorite.

Duncan “Thorin” Shields also named Drin “Makazze” Shakiri the MVP of ESL Pro League 23.

“My MVP for ESL Pro League 23 is Makazze. He had a huge impact and delivered a stellar performance throughout the playoffs. He stepped in for jL as the key player in crucial matches.”

As a reminder, at ESL Pro League Season 23, the Natus Vincere roster secured its first victory at a Tier 1 tournament in the last two years.
