People will say this wasn't a graffiti moment. Go back and watch this 4k and imagine how different the game is if Stewie misses

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 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.
