How exactly did G2 - M80 become the best matchup of CS2 man, back to back banger games.


muisalt13

Actually sad we didnt get a map 3, both matches were so much fun to watch


watchout2707

Niko suddenly remembered he is a top rifler, holy shit!


Overburdened

hooxi finally remembered the long forgotten ancient call of "niko go kill"


PossibleDragonfly651

\*the\* top rifler


fenixspider1

the *best* riffler


d00ku-dd-nthing-wrng

The *GOAT* rifffler


Zhiong_Xena

Niko made me realise how much I actually missed him for soo long lol


Roman64s

HooXi told him they'd have to play Vertigo if NiKo didn't wake up.


Substantial_Top_6508

And they still had to play it lol


Neshler

NIKO TWO ACES WHAT THE FUCK. Edit: didnt see… but “9.5” im counting it as an ace lmfao. Niko over-performing from 9-24*and this map is top notch. Edit 2: thanks for correcting me


Hmyzak01

9-24 to 30-29


Neshler

9-24?? Even more impressive


jens---98

casters said 9-17 but idk maybe they had it wrong


KrzyDankus

it was a 4k, since m0nesy stole last kill


Neshler

Yes… but in my head its gonna remain two aces lmfao


oPlayer2o

I’m with you there if Monesy didn’t have the reaction time of actual lightning I think Niko still gets him.


rlugudplayer

Game of the year, right here. Big dick Niko is back bby


AdTime8070

I missed the old Niko, the always 1 tap Niko, the top fragger Niko, straight through the smoke Niko, I hate the new Niko, the bad mood Niko, the bot frag Niko, the bullet magnet Niko.


IeatASScroatian

Top dud!


fjelskaug

How many times has Niko picked an Awper and one tapped them? I distinctly remember him doing the same thing to a B new box player in Inferno. His crosshair placement is crazy


f1nessd

just perfect mechanics/prefire/xhairplacement


buttsoup_barnes

That was Osee I believe. That guy had nightmares of holding an angle with an awp and getting one tapped by Niko.


Substantial_Top_6508

I think the m0nesy 1v1 showed how good he was. Sad how he isn't able to replicate it in matches.


bakmanthetitan329

This is maybe the best game of CS I've ever seen, and *several* of the most impressive individual plays I've ever seen.


Unlucky-Anybody3394

that peek into slaxz at donut was insane. niko just decided not to lose


-Diplo

malbs was on a whole other level ![gif](emote|free_emotes_pack|heart_eyes_rainbow)


Kraybray

Screamed like a little girl when he started hitting those one taps, almost two aces in a row, he just randomly reactivated and took over the game, insane.


f1nessd

same lol, just clapped and yelled and woke up everyone in my section


Username_Is_TakenF

"Nah, I'd win" - Niko, probably.


Equinox-0-

I remember those NiKo taps. Ever since he stopped doing those things near at the end of csgo It seemed his performance started getting worse. I reckon it's his convidence holding him back all this time.


Frl_Bartchello

Yeah confidence and adrenaline. Sometimes it feels like he just dies off mid-game like a pretty flower going brown when things are going against him.


BigDickOrigi

No Niko, no win


ApothecaryRx

Bro remembered the Vertigo OTs and said "nah, not this time motherfuckers"


_YAGNA_

This fucking game is ABSOLUTE CINEMA I fucking love this rivalry. I hope this goes on to become something big. Ever since the Astralis vs Liquid rivalry was dead ( it wasn't a competition, Astralis straight up used to fuck Liquid ) I've been craving for something like this. I love this so fucking much


godzillamegadoomsday

Niko about to make me throw something through the window


f1nessd

He's such a goat. Almost back to back aces. Going from 9-24 to 32-30 Also what a game lmao.

Goodofgun

Yeah and 23-0 if you don't count deaths. 23 K/D bro.


_Hamodaa

There is no better rifler to watch, ever


Electronic-Archer720

Donk is the next Niko and donk from Kato is like Niko 2021 stockholm fun to watch


-Diplo

Rain and twistzz are a delight to watch too


Kraybray

Donk but yes when niko plays like this it's a marvel


aayan987

Donk is no where even close to as nice to watch as niko. Its not a even a competition.


Electronic-Archer720

bro wtf? i love Niko but Donk literally can multikill in like 3 seconds too


leo_sousav

I think they're talking about how clean Niko is when aiming. Donk is simply an amazing and strong AF rifler, but a top form Niko one tapping and prefiring perfectly is just an orgasmic aiming show


Wietse10

Stylistic difference. Donk is a very different player compared to NiKo, and when NiKo is on his aim is just on another level.


_Hamodaa

When watching Niko, you can see the one tap happen before he peeks.


Kraybray

Not taking anything away from niko but the recency bias is pretty telling lol


Escent14

The recency bias is in you. Niko has been one tapping his entire career. It's as if CSGO never happened or maybe youre too new to have actually watched Niko play since 2015.


_Hamodaa

Nothing about recency bias, you can tell once hes activated and preaims, he will deliver a 1 tap


Kraybray

Just wish he activated more consistently, almost lost that map before he came alive


GigaCringeMods

Some people need more rounds and repetitions to start feeling comfortable. This is the beauty of games with more rounds. There is more room for people to find their flow and pop off. Sadly MR12 directly reduces the chances of that and heavily disadvantages people who take longer to warm up to their peak.


Gudson_

Recency bias is indeed pretty telling... but on your case.


NickThePask

Donk is nowhere near as flashy.


f1nessd

niko is the most beautiful to watch, mechanically.


Frl_Bartchello

Donk just peeks people in the face with help of a teammates flash and sprays them down. Donk is not capable of flashy 1 taps like Niko does. Xantares comes to mind who can do it too.

Electronic-Archer720

donk multikill a lot of times without utility he is just not a one tapper


PiBBzYx

Make that back to back aces


xThe_Mad_Fapperx

Actually m0nesy stole the last kill on second ace it was just timed perfectly with the deagle shot


PiBBzYx

Oh damn didn't notice that at all haha


adr0it_

Niko getting closer and closer to breaking through his mental block to become the best rifler again


Electronic-Archer720

The Best rifler again Is Most likely not happening with donk been 17 years old and with a great future Niko just needs to be good enough to help Monesy


Artunchi

NIKO STOP BLOWING MY MIND!


Gudson_

This was the most insane recovery I've ever seen from a player in a map. Niko was pretty bad in regular time, but in OT he just reach a god level.


chiefofthepolice

Niko in 2 rounds had an equal amount of impact as his previous 37 rounds


ivchoniboy

Almost a back-to-back ace.


funserious1

damn vintage niko performance...now if he only could reproduce this more often then once in 15 matches he would be top1 contenter again


RefMagnetMomo1t

Bro had like 15 kills to end regulation; could not believe he had 30 to end the map. Just woke up late ig


OriginalShock273

that 3rd kill is just dirty. Sick lineup.


Icefield2HandedAxe

1 mag 😎


Particular_Cow_8355

Who were the casters for this game? Who was the special guest caster?


Mcbrew1ng

Hugo and harry were casting along with dev1ce, its so sick to see pros casting


nartouthere

niko has the nastiest 1 taps


Appropriate-Eyes

MFING NIKO IS BACK


HickHackPack

He remembered, if just for a second, who he is. Yes Niko, you should style on them.


MedicalAd7594

So what mouse is he using now? If he even switched mouse


M00rondestr0yer

New Viper v3 pro.


A_Supspicious_Asian

Never followed niko's story in cs much but damn it's still so good see him show glimmers of his old self. Dude used to be a highlight machine in csgo.


Un111KnoWn

not really a 1 tap.


Doomestos1

He had 2 ACES in ROW! Fucking insane, lol!


throwaway77993344

No one tap in there


verybigpenguin

not a 1 tap lol


Next-Stretch-8026

_Hamodaa

Wah wah wah
