With the maps tied at 1-1 against the Russian side, REZ pulled off one of the most ridiculous aces with a UMP with the first 2 headshots being through the smoke.
#3 f0rest with the all headshot ace against ViCi on Inferno
The man needs no further introduction. Staying at the top echelons of counter-strike for 15 years is no small feat. This ace by f0rest had it all. A shot through the smoke, a spray transfer, proper grenade usage and crisp one tap to finish it off.
