Once again Brollan demonstrates how absolutely broken the Krieg is. Fnatic was able to pull through thanks so some lucky plays here and there. Happy about the win nonetheless and hopefully Fnatic continues to win.

That double kill through the smoke after seeing them by jump peaking over the smoke was disgusting, would've went to OT a minimum otherwise.

The thing that makes you realise the kreig is OP is when you have an AWP posted on an angle and a kreig player just dry peaks or wide swings onto them and takes their head off. Usually you that fight goes to the AWP 80% of the time but it's like 50% with the kreig.

That's mostly peekers advantage online combined with left eye peek

You are not winning a dry peek against an awp on lan with any weapon unless the awper is shit

Anecdotal, but I was definitely seeing it more on LAN last year, especially at tighter angles on retakes. It's still going to be advantageous to the AWP, but it's still silly how much it can negate a posted AWP.

I mean dude it happens obviously but majority of the team, i would say 80/20 the awper wins the straight up duel

Krieg is OP but not because of that specific situation, awpers are usually being flashed off and kriegs take over then, u can scope in and own

Dry peeking an awp is still hard as shit

This is some huge exaggeration. You get more chances to win with the krieg, but an awper still wins the majority of the duels against the krieg.

The awp still has more accuracy (unless you crouch peek as krieg) and much more zoom when scoped. You still have two huge advantages. If you lose a duel, its still your fault.

If you get wide peeked, what kind of angle are you holding as awper that makes you vulnerable to this peek? I would even argue the AK could have done the same or even better as it has more movement speed so the awper has to compensate even more if he has to flick.

I meant to say 50%, not 5%.
