F0rest’s return to CS:GO pro play isn’t what fans had envisioned
The CS:GO community expectations for f0rest’s brief return to the professional scene as a stand-in for Fnatic at IEM Dallas were high. The legendary Counter-Strike player, however, failed to live up to them.
Fnatic were eliminated from IEM Dallas on May 29—the tier-one tournament’s opening day— following losses to MOUZ and the South American mix of 9z. While f0rest didn’t have much time to practice with Fnatic as he was called nearly last-minute to replace KRIMZ and fans can’t pin the elimination solely on him, he struggled to hold his own individually and is set to be one of the lowest-rated players of IEM Dallas.
