Ropz times his movement from checkers into B-site perfectly in order to catch f0rest off-guard, as he may have thought his two teammates in vents would have maintained control of Ropz’s whereabouts. To follow this up, Ropz was smart enough to know that he should preeminently pull his smoke grenade to save him from dying with such low HP to the inevitable Molotov of NiP that would follow. Again, understanding both his low HP and that he would need to win two gunfights to win the match, Ropz played on the edge of the smoke twice hoping he would catch off guard the remaining two Ninjas, and did just that.

A youngster coming into a struggling lineup and posting consistent numbers like these is not something that happens often, and things will only get better from here.

Admittedly, NiP played this situation horribly and should feel just the same about this play; however, in all sports great plays often spawn off of the back end a gaff from the opposition. This play from Ropz was no different, and if anything should have whatever remaining diehard mousesports fans very excited for their future. To say that Ropz is a replacement of NiKo is a stretch, but it won’t be too long before this player develops into one of, if not the world’s best.
