You may have known that Brazilian soccer superstar Neymar is also a superfan of CS:GO and his skill is also not bad at all. Recently, the star was invited to play in a CSGO exhibition event organized by Brazilian team Furia and showed off his skills on Mirage with not one, but two insane clutches.
The first clutch was right off the bat in round two of the series. As the counter-terrorists sprayed his team down during an apartments push on Mirage, Neymar was left in a 1v3 situation to try and salvage the round.
He then backed it up with another 1v3 a few rounds later. Again in a 1v3 on Mirage B site, Neymar jumped out of apartments to rush the player on site, before sitting the plant.
As the final two CTs pushed through window and door in Kitchen, Neymar took them both down to once again secure his team the round.
The footballer looked like he wasn’t breaking a sweat on the battlefield as his team secured the map 16-6, looking classy the whole way through.
And also, Neymar wasn’t the only soccer star to feature in the special event. Barcelona midfielder Arthur Melo and Manchester City striker Gabriel Jesus brushed shoulders with some of Furia’s pro players and other community figures in the casual event.
Most of these players grew up during Counter-Strike’s hey-day in Brazil in the early 2000s, and the skills they probably developed during their childhoods hadn’t rusted away. They maybe won't quit their football career for the CS:GO, but we may will them do more things to support pro CS:GO teams from Brazil.
