"Next esports superstar": CS: GO responds to Neymar Jr, and the internet can't keep calm

One of the best footballers globally, Neymar Jr, is now being hailed as the next "esports superstar."

This follows a series of phenomenal victories in the popular multiplayer FPS, Counter-Strike: Global Offensive, or CS: GO.

Apart from mesmerizing fans with his displays on the pitch, he happens to be quite the star of it, too, with more than a million followers on Twitch.

From pulling off ridiculous aces to receiving a Twitch ban recently, Neymar is undoubtedly no stranger to the streamer life.

It now looks like his exploits in the gaming world have attracted attention from the Twitter handle of CS: GO themselves, as they recently retweeted a post by Esports Insider Rod "Slasher" Breslau:

.@neymarjr please return our calls. We need a fifth. https://t.co/OyX2xXBIL1

This interaction has now left fans excited, with several urging organizations to sign the Paris Saint-Germain forward.
