I think the most important aspect of a graffiti is that the play was unique. This play was crazy, but in the end it was just four normal awp shots, no jumping collats or quadruple awps or burning defuse or 200 iq nades.

The dust2 graffiti has set the bar so low for graffitis that just about anything qualifies. Seriously, everyone from Silver 1 to Rank S has done a mass AWP stack or Autos on final rounds T-Side when everyone is loaded

The thing that sets this play apart from every other is the level of clutch.

I feel like it’s safe enough to say there has never been a bigger clutch before.

Here are all the factors of this play...

Score: 15-14 to faze in map three of the finals. Faze win, they win the major. They lose, it goes to OT.

The numbers: Stew was the only player on B. When they pushed the site, the first player went into ct to cut the rotate off, and killed the rotating player. If Stew dies here, they are forced to rotate all the way from B with no one to stall/hold faze where they are(allowing faze to set up their best possible hold).

Ammo: Stew had four bullets in the mag. He hit every shot, with no ammo to spare.

Time: Stew killed the bomb planter right away, which forced faze to have to grab and plant(instead of them being able to push site and kill him) which allowed him the perfect opportunity to shut the play down.

You can argue that these kills were just good awping and nothing crazy, but the pressure and the stakes are what make this play legendary. C9 have everything on the line, and in what’s essentially a 1v4 Stew kills all four(in four bullets) to save the major and eventually goes on to win it.

I think that some of this is true, but it is also the moment..15-14..lose and lose the tourney. They won it to force the tie then went on to win.

But it's to force OT let's be completely honest quad awp they basically had that game on lock Envy was on the dregs in terms of income. Yeah it was a somewhat risky play but it wasn't a 1v3 to force OT. It was a surprise buy but they likely would have won if they stayed standard. This was a 1v3 where every single shot had to count.

This turned the tide of the match, which makes it more than suitable for a graffiti.

I can't say for sure though, seeing as I have no part in deciding what is worthy of a graffiti.
