Counter-Strike: Global Offensive (CS:GO) isn’t just about competition; it’s about etching yourself into gaming history. While stickers can commemorate Major participation, there’s an even more elite club within CS:GO – players who’ve earned personalized graffiti immortalized on iconic maps. These graffiti mark extraordinary, unforgettable moments in CS:GO esports history.
Graffiti Legends: The Who and How
Let’s explore the legends behind these in-game tributes and the incredible plays that earned them:
Olofmeister’s Burning Defiance (Overpass):
Olof “olofmeister” Kajbjer defied death and probability when he defused a bomb while engulfed in flames. This heroic act during ESL One Cologne 2014 secured a crucial round and propelled Fnatic to victory.
Olofmeister’s Infamous Boost (Overpass):
In DreamHack Winter 2014, olofmeister and Fnatic shocked the world with a controversial boost. While ultimately deemed unfair, it’s still commemorated in-game, highlighting the ever-evolving competitive landscape.
Coldzera’s Flying AWP (Mirage):
Marcelo “Coldzera” David earned his wings during MLG Columbus 2016. His legendary AWP quad-kill, including a no-scope against s1mple, pushed Luminosity to an incredible comeback win.
s1mple’s Divine Descent (Cache):
Not to be outdone, s1mple made his own CS:GO history on Cache at ESL One: Cologne 2016. His gravity-defying AWP double kill became synonymous with his unmatched skill.
Friberg, the Banana King (Inferno):
Adam “Friberg” Friberg’s dominance on Inferno’s Banana during CS:GO’s early days is legendary. His iconic AK-47 triple kill in the ESL One Cologne 2014 Grand Finals solidified his status as a map master.
Dosia’s Grenade Genius (Inferno):
Mikhail “Dosia” Stolyarov proved brains can be just as powerful as brawn at the PGL Krakow Major 2017. His perfectly timed grenade sealed Gambit’s victory in the deciding round of the Grand Finals.
Wolf on the Roof (Nuke):
While not a Major, IEM Katowice 2021’s showmatch offered another graffiti-worthy moment. “Furlan and GruBy” now grace Nuke’s rooftop, commemorating a brilliant play born from desperation and ingenuity.
