CS:GO pro’s crucial error in BLAST Paris Major makes us feel better about our skills

If famous CS:GO commentator Henry “HenryG” Greer was casting Into the Breach vs. Vitality at the BLAST Paris Major, he would have used his iconic line “what a blunder” to describe what Joey “CRUC1AL” Steusel did on the big stage on May 18—a mistake that even us noobs don’t commit in matchmaking.

CRUC1AL’s team Into the Breach had their backs against the wall on the CT side of Vertigo, the first map of today’s quarterfinal against Vitality. And right when CRUC1AL could have helped his teammates win the gun round and tie the game, he threw it all away with a life-costing mistake. The Dutch sniper was covering the A bombsite’s ramp with his AWP in Sandbags when he took one more step back while blinded by a flashbang and fell to his death.
