CS:GO player destroys entire opposing team with single 'one in f**king billions' miracle shot
Look, sometimes words just get in the way. So before I start waffling, here's a video—spotted by GamesRadar(opens in new tab)—of one of the most buck wild strokes of luck I've ever seen happen in a videogame.
That's wild, right? Tell me that's not wild. If you're not sure what you just watched, here's a breakdown: A CS:GO player named sp1cay managed to pull off a one-in-a-million shot with the AWP sniper rifle, managing to kill every single enemy player on the opposing team—who had all lined up in just the right way—with one bullet, winning the game with a single squeeze of the trigger.

Plus, the Counter-Strike community seems to be taking this one seriously. When sp1cay posted the clip on Reddit(opens in new tab)—innocently asking «Is this rare?»—they were showered with plaudits.

Some veteran players remarked that they'd only seen something like it happen once before in their time playing the game. At time of writing, the video has nearly 20,000 upvotes and a bristling collection of indecipherable Reddit
