A player managed to achieve a kill while falling to his death in Counter-Strike: Global Offensive . This sheer luck in total failure pleases over 17,000 people. They celebrate the player for his luck and see it as a message to never give up.
This is the clip: The player JaX148 posted his clip on reddit with the title “This is the luckiest kill you will ever see.”
In the clip, you can see that the player surprised another player on the CS:GO skyscraper map “Skyscraper” as an attacker, suspecting him behind a corner. There, the last remaining terrorist is guarding the bomb. While the attacker sneaks up to take him out, he takes one step too far and falls to his death from the skyscraper.
For most CS:GO players, it would have been over here.
However, as the player falls, he wildly shoots with his M4. The bullets have an extremely high spread while falling. So the player has no control over what he actually hits. Additionally, the player is firing most of the time from below at the grate that should provide cover for the terrorist.
Nevertheless, the player manages to get the last and decisive kill for his team while falling: He won the match.
Never give up, never surrender
Here’s the commentary: On reddit, the clip received over 17,000 upvotes. CS:GO players are fascinated by the clip:
- Some compare themselves with the player and say: They would have mentally checked out and become angry the moment they fell to their death. They wouldn’t have been able to experience that moment at all.
- Another immediately identifies with the victim: He would also be the type who has so much bad luck that someone would blow his head off while he falls.
- Others see the clip as an example of never giving up but fighting until the bitter end. The famous basketball player Michael Jordan is quoted: “You miss 100% of the shots you don’t take.”
- Another summarizes the clip as “Mission unsuccessfully failed.”
Users are particularly amused that the player reloads the empty magazine at the end of his fall: This reflex is described as one of the “most optimistic reloads of all time,” they say.
There are always quirky stories coming from CS:GO. The game is huge and one of the most successful e-sport titles ever. One player aimed for a professional career but couldn’t pursue it due to a ban from his youth. He thought he could resolve his problem with a lawsuit:
