With the first Counter-Strike: Global Offensive major in the books, it’s time to reflect on some of the biggest plays made by the world’s best players in Katowice, Poland.
YouTuber Lone Wolf has has assembled each of the six aces from the tournament into a singly tidy highlight reel, and the results are especially impressive considering the level of competition being gunned down in the clip.
It’s never a surprise to see Virtus Pro’s Janusz “Snax” Pogorzelski on such a list as he has established himself as a player with few equals. He’s joined by Andreas “Xyp9x” Hojsleth, Denis Howell, Richard “Xizt” Landstrom and Olof “Olofmeister” Kajbjer.
Kajbjer and Landstrom had particularly strong showings in Katowice, though its telling that when the two met in the grand final as their respective teams Fnatic and Ninjas in Pyjamas clashed for the cup, it was Landstrom who faltered while Kajbjer’s Fnatic pushed ahead and claimed another major title.
