A generational talent and one of the best CS:GO players in the world, Mathieu “ZywOo” Herbaut, might not even reach the Legends Stage of the IEM Rio Major. The superstar AWPer’s team Vitality are now in the 1-2 pool of the Challengers Stage after Outsiders upset them 16-12 on Overpass today in one of the first 1-1 pool matches of the day.
And it wasn’t for a lack of performance from ZywOo. The 21-year-old was by far the best player on the server, having finished the Overpass game with 28 kills, 18 deaths, an outstanding 100.2 ADR, and a 1.61 rating. Meanwhile, all of his Vitality teammates finished with a negative K/D ratio and even the star rifler Lotan “Spinx” Giladi wasn’t able to have an impact in the series.
