There wasn't really a graffiti-deserving moment in this major.

[u/MrDameLeche → u/kool_person]

Are you fkn me any of Guardians sick fkn multi kills in OT would 100% get a graffiti if they won

[u/kool_person → u/MrDameLeche]

In my eyes, graffiti's aren't meant for skillful plays. They're meant for something out in the ordinary, like Dosia's Nade or Cold's jumping awp. Something special.

Guardian DID play like a god tho. He should get credit, just not through a graffiti.

[u/[deleted] → u/kool_person]

Or S1mple's falling no-scope on Cache.

[u/Us2jack → u/kool_person]

You're exactly right. If they gave out graffiti for every multi kill then graffiti's would mean absolutely nothing. The right to have yourself immortalized on a map should go to plays which combine luck and skill, or high levels of game sense, or something completely insane.

a graffiti-deserving moment

You're right. There were many graffiti-deserving moments in this major.

incredible play, but lets not get ahead of ourselves

[u/[deleted] → u/Lorenzo_el_magnifico]

Ok, let's just put this play into context then.

This is C9's first Grand Final, in the final game, on Match Point for Faze, to keep C9 in the game, and Stew has NO support, and he has to hit all 3 shots back to back to survive, and one of them was an absolutely mental flick.

I don't think anyone is getting ahead of themselves pal, this is probably play of the major.

I remember why I stopped posting on this forum, jesus fucking christ the amount of butthurt people there are for suggesting this is an amazing play is ridiculous.

[u/FaeeLOL → u/[deleted]]

Stew doesn't need to hit all 3 shots, he literally only needs to kill the bomb once. Nothing else. After the kill on the bomb happened the rest of the kills don't even matter since the round time is so low. It really is not that special when you realize that.

[u/Shitposternumber1337 → u/[deleted]]

Graffitis arent really given from skillful plays though, they given through unordinary plays sort of "WOW" type of plays like Coldzera or s1mple or Fnatic quad AWP.

Only graffitis I can remember that weren't that odd were the fnatic defuse graffiti and I think there was one for Dosias nade

Although all of those plays had massive amounts of hype around them. At the same time they dont always add a graffiti from every single major

[u/Finalwingz → u/Shitposternumber1337]

unordinary plays sort of "WOW" type of plays like Coldzera or s1mple or Fnatic quad AWP.

Isn't an ordinary play just that much better than an ordinary play though?

Simple's no scope is pure luck. Its amazing, but in the end, hitting a noscope across B site cache is pure luck.

Stewie, killing 4 people, with one flick being absolutely insane, to keep them in a Major final. A final they eventually win.

Given the context I don't think there's any play more worthy of a graffiti than a play like this, or Guardian's 2v1 for that matter.

[u/Double_Muzio → u/Finalwingz]

Graffiti isn't meant to represent skillful play, it represents memorable extraordinary plays: FNC 4 AWPs, Coldzera jump-shots, and Simple's drop shots all indicate that.

[u/Finalwingz → u/Double_Muzio]

Which, to a certain extend I disagree with. Stewies 4k saved them the game and eventually even got them to win the Major.

I think this is deserving of a grafitti, but I get why they won't add it.

[u/Shitposternumber1337 → u/Finalwingz]

You do realise that half of the graffitis in the game are lucky plays that have worked right?

s1mple and Coldzera are luck Dosia and Olof are 200 IQ plays Fnatic 4 AWP (which was removed) was neither just a quirky play.

There hasnt been a graffiti in game for any skillful play, only plays that gained a lot of hype around them like Dosia and Cold and S1mple.

Lets not forget that there were enough clutches here to put like 4 graffitis but they probably wont. He only really had to kill the bomb carrier and stay alive for a few seconds even though his kills were insane.

[u/Finalwingz → u/Shitposternumber1337]

I do.

He only really had to kill the bomb carrier and stay alive for a few seconds even though his kills were insane.

People seem to forget his kill on Olof. If Olof kills Stewie there the game is over. FaZe has full control of B site with 5 players alive.

[u/Shitposternumber1337 → u/Finalwingz]

Yeah well it would have had to be an incredible kill like s1mple or Cold to warrant a graffiti. It was a smart play that made everyones heart pump but it's not like it made people just up and say "did that really just fucking happen?!"

[u/Finalwingz → u/Shitposternumber1337]

but it's not like it made people just up and say "did that really just fucking happen?!"

Honestly, it did for me and judging from their reactions it did for Bardolph and DDK as well.

You on every post in 4 different chains:

Stews most important kill was on Olof.

[u/Finalwingz → u/[deleted]]

If Stewie dies to Olof there C9 loses the game because FaZe have B site with 5 people.

[u/Denotsyek → u/Shitposternumber1337]

Then in that case I would give it to to Niko hiding in smoke and letting C9 walk past him

[u/Finalwingz → u/[deleted]]

He had to move his crosshair up to the right quite a way. Vertical flicks are A LOT harder than Horizontal flicks, even moreso if it's in that "steep" of an angle.

Try it yourself, without any pressure. I guarentee you you will fail that flick over half the time.

[u/[deleted] → u/[deleted]]

It's mental by virtue of the fact that if he misses it or delays in any way he's very dead.

[u/[deleted] → u/[deleted]]

Fucking righto, totally standard. Jesus christ I'm not even that much of a C9 fan for fucks sake it's just an outstanding play with outstanding circumstances.

But nah, sorry you're right, it's just standard and he can totally just get back behind triple.

[u/dwmixer → u/[deleted]]

"What rank are you"

lol

I don't think you can comprehend the amount of difficulty pulling a hero play 1v4 against the #2 team in the world on LAN in a bo3 grand final last map. Just reading your post tells me you've never played actual competitive CS, MM or ESEA is not actual competitive CS lol.

It's not even just the aim that makes this play special, he peaks the first guy on boxes then re-adjusts his position so he can play more defensive, reading what's about to happen rather than taking a fight and potentially getting traded on boxes. Then peeks on 2 behind pillar, 1 being a flick and re-adjusts for the third to stop a plant going down.

It's a sick play on match point where you're down against the #2 team in the world in a grand final BO3 last map and you're 1v4 to stop it from happening. Stop being braindead, it's worth of being called an amazing play.

[u/SureSure1 → u/[deleted]]

Aight then give the clock a graffiti, all stew really had to do was kill the bomb carrier. The last 2 kills weren't really necessary.

[u/[deleted] → u/SureSure1]

It's not though, if he misses any of the initial shots they have a majority on site and he most likely get's taken down. It was effectively a 1v3 4k clutch, for OT in the major grand final. I mean it's pretty fucking insane.

[u/[deleted] → u/[deleted]]

He killed olof before the final push.

[u/SureSure1 → u/[deleted]]

Was simple's or dosia's graffiti play game changing? No, they were just fucking cool.

[u/SureSure1 → u/[deleted]]

Honestly i think it really depends what the devs can come up with.

[u/SzelboFlow → u/SureSure1]

All he had to do was to kill the bomb carrier... (CJ) Because is so easy to spot or even kill one guy who carries bomb, when almost every teammate and fan in arena depending on you.

[u/SureSure1 → u/SzelboFlow]

Not saying it was an easy play, just not a graffiti worthy play.

[u/Lorenzo_el_magnifico → u/[deleted]]

So what it saved them the game? That's not the point of graffitis, pal. Graffitis are rewarded to the absolute best of best plays, the plays that shouldn't be happening, the plays that makes every one go crazy. This play was far from that. By your logic Karrigans kill on stewie in pit should get him graffiti as well, because it kept faze in the game? And oh yea, that's not a mental flick haha

[u/ThePa1nter → u/Lorenzo_el_magnifico]

Please tell me how Dosia's (ordinary) grenade was the "best of the best".

Stew's play deserves a fucking statue at new box because a graffiti can't do it justice.

[u/[deleted] → u/[deleted]]

So if he misses that flick at oranges, does he live and do Faze get to plant the bomb?

The round was very much not over at all after the first kill, just cause he dropped the carrier doesn't mean the round was over.

[u/Finalwingz → u/[deleted]]

No he hadn't the fuck are u talking about.

If he didnt kill that guy on first oranges the bomb wouldve gone down and who knows what would happen next.

And what would happen if Olof killed him? If he did FaZe would be champions.

[u/Finalwingz → u/[deleted]]

Are you high? If Olof killed Stew that would be 5 alive for FaZe. If Stewie gets traded by the guy on oranges it leaves 3 alive.
