The Superstar Living in the Shadow of a God: The Story of electronic
To understand how Denis ‘electronic’ Sharipov went from living in the shadow of one of the greatest players CS:GO has ever seen to a bona fide superstar in his own right, we need to go back in time a little bit.
The year is 2015, and this scrappy, stoic, stern-faced teenager is trying to make a name for himself in the mother of all Counter-Strike-obsessed regions: Russia.
The problem is that it’s a lot more difficult than you might think.

That intro was everything a electronic fan would want
That's ....sooo true
it gave me the goosebumps
That's a really solid intro, it was just like the conclusion of this video, it actually gives me a goosebump

watching this after they lift up their major trophy is unbelievable journey
Everytime I look at his face, it's hard to believe that he's already become a dad
rlly?
Unfortunately, his spray control is not the same outside of the game.
@@nemi4945 yes he has a daughter✨
Pulzanicus pulzanic hes 21

Any other team he is the headliner but he just had to go into the team with that monster
s1mple helped him get to where he is rn
BaluMTB explane pls. As far as im concerned he came to navi Based on Very Good Performance
Marvin Keltner it was s1mple who requested he come to Navi in the first place
@@BowlingOGs69 He meant S1mple really helped Electronic achieve what he achieved on NaVi.
Because he is a beast too......
Being a Navi fan for years is a rollercoaster of emotions.. they can 16-5 the best then get 16-5 by a random team...it can be painful.
IFKR😭😭😭
The same could go for any t1 team I feel likr
You're telling me.
Na'Vi: 2:0 BIG Also Na'Vi: lose 0:2 to hard legion
digb1kk dude cause hard legion coach cheated
Watching this after Navi’s Major win gives u goosebumps.
It does
Ehh, not really. Navi looked very wonky before b1t joined, they lost quite a lot of key matches
@@ethhics agree, they all look really solid now. b1t is so good and he’s only a rookie…
He's not underrated because we all know how good he is. He make Navi win lot of time so I think he's one of the best player
@@ra1lgunz268 shroud most overrated cs player ever.
Ra1lgun ttv shroud doesn’t play much of csgo anymore. Electronic is underrated just because he plays right under s1mple. I think that’s what they were getting at.
@@jadeschreodl1899 as i said about community appreciation not how this player is better or worse.
Ra1lgun ttv Fair, but electronic definitely is a spectacular in the CIS.
@@ra1lgunz268 ngl stewie is underappreciated he plays hard roles in tl and people look at his stats and says time to kick him
The editing on these videos are amazing. Editors are really underrated. They deserve so much more
Thanks so much man! This was definitely a fun one to make.
@@sebdot_ we appreciate the effort you put! The editing definitely makes it soooo crispy to watch.
Very well said mate, these are amazing videos, amazing edits and cannot even mention the research and time spent on well documenting these gold mines of CS GO that no one makes in the scene. This is a delight to watch to be honest.
@@sebdot_ dont forget that you guys are the reason that the people watch its always entertaining and you click on the next video and the next and the next haha
@@sebdot_ Can you tell what's that background music at 19:00 it's so peaceful and soothing
"Na'vi will win the next major, bookmark this" that aged quickly ED: THEY DID IT WOOOO
Hope so
Isn't the Rio major cancelled ?
@@karankhatr1 yep
If NAVI win a major with Boomig as IGL I will eat my shoe.
thesnackbandit This comment needs more likes
electronic: "It was my dream to be in NA VI. Im really happy." also electronic: 😐
Eso pasa cuando no hablas en tu idioma natal hermano
he was probably focusing on speaking English
"Im really happy" 🗿
Nervous
He's robot, that's why he doesn't have any emotions
Watching this again after Navi won the Stockholm Major 2021 is really something special. No wonder Electronic was the first one S1mple hugged after winning the final.
Blade has found the biggest superstars of all time - simple, electronic, bit. What a coach. Unbelievable
19:50 that smile he made tho.He was expecting a handshake but got a hug, wholesome
The Scottie Pippen of Esports
Scottie Pippen was a trash player anyway
no pippen slander around here tyvm
@@snotsnarler1174 even then he won 6 titles which both of them haven't
Except MJ & Pippen actually won.
Dark Humor lol you have no idea he was one of the best defenders in the 90‘s
Simple hugging crying electronic after major win was like saying bro we done it
Electronic is so overshadowed, finally is my mans getting the recognition he deserves. Edit 1; Some he did get some recognition in the CIS before, but he was basically a nobody even in the CIS region compared to most of the players on established CIS teams. Edit 2; He isn't overshadowed anymore, but he is still underrated, I've seen many fans and sometimes casters downplay his ability, and some people even say he doesn't pull his weight on the team.
*Some of the recognition he deserved :D
He really isn't overshadowed. He's been in the light for a while, and even more since that 3k he did in Inferno pit with the SG which was quite a while ago.
I don't think he is overshadowed at all, everyone who watches a bit of pro cs knows he is a top 7-4 player in the world and top 3 if we only count riflers
@@julianr4375 only problem with only rifles is simple is still top 2 then
@@julianr4375 Ig you can say that a good chunk of people give him lesser credit than he deserves
When s1mple makes a play, it's "INCREDIBLE FROM S1MPLE!"; when electronic makes a play, it's "Fortunate". So sad
NO Cos that specific play from the start two people ran into the spray so it was luck im not dissaproving him as a player he is a god still but that one play was indeed fortunate
This is the exact reason why the title of the video felt so fitting for me. "The Superstar Living in the Shadow of a God", what a sentence, what a crazy story.
Watching this after the PGL stockholm final, who in their right minds would say that, boy has he not become a superstar in his own right. His performance on the knockouts of LAN tourneys are simply outrageously good!!
As far as game mechanics is concerned, Electronic IS a god.
he's a god but he has a teammate who's the almighty god
If he's Jesus, then he has a teammate that is the Holy Trinity
Electronic is better than Simple . His rifling is pretty much the best in the world. He is capable of being support , entry etc. Simple is always supported , thus he always will frag
@@shaker8984 i disagree
he is the movement god and fantastic aimer, but he is not as stable as s1mple
"This is the Navi era now." COVID: Nahhh
Navi era
well it is has been, major is navi.
My favorite player to watch. Smart, patient and understanding of every aspect.
The most underrated player in CS
Yes
Not most but one of
By a longshot
Warlp ö who would you say is more underrated?
'Underrated' bruh every1 thinks electronic is insane wdym
They just absolutely dominated lower bracket and won 2-0 to Astralis in Blast Premier! LOVE IT
"Rosters like astralis and their American imitators" lmao
Liquid
3:19 got to be the best commentary I’ve seen in my entire life
*Bam!* *Bam!* .... and *Bam!* what a spray from electronic!
@@jackmeer unbeleyievable spray
Bam Bam
Bro this video was so well made. The emotions, the storytelling, the compassion. Great job guys
9:27 aww, look how happy he looks
Audibly chuckled when I saw that interview.
Electronic is the Scottie Pippen to S1mple's Michael Jordan, and after that major win I think it's finally time for the Na'vi dynasty
its like being in a same team as messi and still called the best dribbler the game has ever seen, thats electronic for you
I've watched the intro n number of times and I get goosebumps every single time. The frags with that BGM, masterpiece. Editor OP.
Electronic is probably my most favorite player ever. This is such a good video, great job! I mean, every year there is someone else who is the best CSGO player, but I think everyone agrees that Electronic - S1mple are by far the deadliest duo of all times in CS
3:15 the casting, i am big fan now
I love the title so much. It just feels so right and accurate. Admire Electronic so much and I think you can form a team around him with the right players.
First of all the thumbnail and the intro was perfect AND All these story videos from you guys are GEMS man so good, SO GOOD...
I'm in the future and i can confirm, they did it
sad music in the intro really made me tear....i am 16 and have been playing cs since 2014.....electronic is like a hero for me
having goosebumps watching this. keep up the good work
And that soon enough has already happened!! ❤️
This is potentially the best theScore esports video headline I've seen so far. It just hits different: "The Superstar Living in the Shadow of a God"
Great video. Narration was perfect and the BGM made this even better.
I've been waiting so long for this video-hes just a machine
He is not living in the shadow, every cs player knows how good he is
that was Mozart's requiem at the beginning you thought we wouldn't notice but we did
I appreciate you for that.
@@sebdot_ I love u
@@esau817 I love u
Korega..requiem Da.
@@sebdot_ Is there a link or platform I can listen to 0:03-1:19 without the commentary because that was just downright incredible.
And they just won a MAJOR
My favorite part of the story of is the intros. They get better and better eveytine, and I get chills watching such plays
Is Electronic overshadowed? Yes. Is he underrated? Hell no. Electronic may not be getting as much attention, glamour and glory as s1mple does, but trust me, everyone in the CSGO community knows electronic is still one of top 5 best players in the world.
Gotta get back here after NaVi won their first major. The way s1mple and electronic hugged each other after winning got me so emotional. They finally earned what they grinded for together. I'm so proud of these guys.
LOVED THE ENTRY
It's been more than a year now and I still come to this video just to watch the intro. Hands down the best intro on this channel
lol every one of your videos always keeps me interested in games i wouldnt have played anyways thanks :)

watching this after navi winning pgl major really bring tears to your eyes
These videos are so well made I love them
Damn coming back to watch this after the clean major win. Epic.
That intro gave me goosebumps. I feel bad for Electronic, cause he would be much more appreciated if he was on another team.
19:50 i love how elec went for the dap at first then s1mple gave him a huge bro hug
Yo those kind of intro are SOOOO clean and so hype
That is a crazy good intro props to you guys honestly
Anybody here after NaVi losing IEM Bejing finals with their 2-0 map lead against Vitality?? 👇
Yessir
And then astralis
That was the most heartbreaking thing happened in that month.
heh
Anyone here after navi winning major?
This might be a bit off topic but I’d love a "the story of Guardian“ because the clip where Guardian beat Navi on mirage has reminded me of one of my favorite sentence in all of counterstrike: "surely Guardian doesn’t win this 1 on 5 (…) well if I had a penny every time i heard that I would be a rich man“
there is one check out their channel
been waiting for this for a long time now. the underrated god of csgo
I saw him on flipside and he was so dominating! Its incredible he has adapted his game to new less aggressive style with s1mple. But still he is very impactful in the game.
is it just me or does electronic look like ben shapiro
He is Ben Shapiro's step brother check hltv

Have been waiting for this vid for fricking 2 years bro
Love this. Love that more CIS stars are getting attention.
This channel really do everything to talk about simple.
Please do flusha, i wanna see him in his childhood with a hack lmao
I feel like Flusha is just that player that everyone will say cheats for the rest of time, even though he's probably never touched a cheat in an official match
WreveAU wait so does that mean he just has insane game sense at some times?
AJV Maple 😂 he was called a cheater a lot so we call him “ The VAC Criminal” because of how good his game sense and aim is
@@iicynicy9473 Yes, he absolutely does have insane game sense. What people don't realise is that the clips you see of Flusha double dinking someone through a smoke are like the 5% of times he bursts or sprays through a smoke, the vast majority of the time he's just spraying common positions through the smoke or going for wallbangs because someone might be there and he knows the angles through smokes because he's just been playing for so long. Flusha really is a case of experience reigning supreme. He has insane gamesense and awareness like n0thing or NBK. The whole cheating thing is just from back when fnatic were the best team in the world and acted like fuckwits to everyone so everyone was trying to degrade them as much as possible for being dickheads, JW got it A LOT as well Don't get me wrong, I personally think that Flusha has definitely used cheats at least somewhat in the past on alt accounts online or something. Some of these things he knows and expects you just couldn't expect without that kind of knowledge
Flusha is also a really smart guy, and you have to be really fucking stupid to use an aimbot or wallhacks on LAN.... like really really stupid. There's an admin standing behind you at all times, your screen is being recorded at all times, your teamspeak is being recorded a lot of the time and on top of all of that the computer is not even your's so it's not like you can preload a cheat onto it, you'd literally have to put the cheat on the same USB as your config. Cheating on LAN without getting caught is next to impossible, and that's before the entire CS:GO community is bending over backwards to try to find proof of you cheating
A long time simple fan but has become a electronic fan in no time.A monster of a player.
Most underrated player from navi is perfecto. He has been so consistent and the support player navi desperatly needed. I would love to see this navi found and era!!!
This man is not hidden in the shadow of s1mple. this man is a god himself. They're the best duo CS:GO has ever seen.
"He's the best but I can be better"- Electronic what an absolute beast
The title of this video got me here. Well put together video.
The quote electronic said and the music made my spine chill.
He is one of if he is not the best entry of the world he totaly deserved that video
That intro is on a different level
Literally i was thinking why there is no video on electronic. And here it is. Electronic is a machine.
bro you make really good videos
15:42 cutest moment in recent csgo history...
bro if s1mple is the SUN electronique is the MOON he reflects the light in the night making evrything brighter he only shine when the sun is down so to make it simple when the S1mple isnt having a good game ELECtronique will take the role of god in his place as ez as that
but when the sky in the night is cloudy no one can carry the team- they definitely need better IGL
@@ngnl3639 beter IGL i dont know about that i think evry team needs a FAT GUY that can dominate poeple when the foood is served like boom4 he is ther for the food WHEN you give him free rounds ooo boy oooooooooo boy that moment you hear this call in the sky BIG MAMA is here oooooo sweat jesus run for your rounds cause he will win them all if you just try and throw just think of it anfd your doomd
And Zywoo is the sun of another solar system
@@SILENTOooo i'd better have big brother like gla1ve
@@packsimons zywoo is the sun and the fat guy at the same time he eats evry food AKA evry free round and he lieght's his team with blinding power, he is gardian+S1mple of vitalety even thro i like s1mple more cause he is a trooll
The best "The story of" video I've seen to date
I enjoyed the music used in this production
I think he not living in S1mple's shadow. They're a team, they stand together, fight together, win together. When S1mple makes a mistake, Electronic corrects it and vice versa. P/s: Look at the hug S1mple gave Electronic when they won the Major, the hug from teammates who fought and waited so long for the crown they deserved.
These told us that real life never been such fairy tales of "you great, you win"
BIG LIKE ! Thank you for this video !
this was actually interesting to watch it ❤️🔥
"he didnt understand where is electronic guy" is the best sentence ever 2:43
and the accent
Ending was spot on. Navi just won the major!
I am huge fan of this man. Always overshadowed by simple
Just came to say that the time finally come, and now he own a Major!
This video needs a 2.0
WE WANT THAT "THE STORY OF ELECTRONIC 2.0" after that PGL STOCKHOLM MAJOR. Like this if you think Electronic deserve it.
AND THE STORY OF B1T, THE ED SHOT MACHINE
Prime content yet again. Good job!
daddytronic Pog finally escore content that doesnt have olof scout or cold jumping feelsgood
1:15 this moment is special
