One of the unquestionable appeals of CS:GO is the ability of any moment to turn completely on its head. Even the most “in the bag” rounds of Counter-Strike have proven to be losable. Especially when your squad is winning a round big, greed can get in your way. The silver lining is that sometimes, that greed results in a truly magnificent Desert Eagle ace. All kinds of sacrifices are welcome for a quality highlight.
The Reddit hero of today is LobsterThoughtz, who has a greedy knife attempt to thank for one of his better highlights. Lobster, CS:GO nickname souLT, and his teammate are pinned down in banana on Inferno during their T-side. It’s the second round of the game and both are holding pistols after an unsuccessful first round. Going against five moderately armed counter-terrorists, their chances of a victory aren’t terribly high, especially with a lurker going for a literal stab in the back while souLT and his mate are looking toward the upper end of banana.
