I should've said "Sickest Ace (in my opinion)". As far as the ace your talking about + Show Spoiler +
, it was against VirtusPro, and it was during pistol round. It was certainly cool and was during ESL one cologne, so i mean as far as scale it was definitely a bigger deal. But I find Hiko's much more interesting and "cooler". Did it all with 1 clip, happened very quickly and strategically, nothin random as hell or through smoke, and none of em lined up gettin sprayed down with a rifle, Also having watched the match live, Team liquid was losing quite badly but making a come back and then Hiko pulled that off, always has an impact watching it live.
I remember Hiko saying on stream he didnt want to join liquid because the players didnt feel fully committed to CSGO. Not surprised he joined though, not like theres many other top tier NA teams

Because every European invite team is as good as Fnatic/VP/Envyus, right?

You do understand that even as TL is right now, they can't take T2 teams from Europe? Hell even the "big" american hope - C9 got smashed in groups, not to mention if they went to playoffs vs nV/VP/fnatic/TSM they wouldn't pick more than 10 rounds across both maps. Qualifying for a major is a no-go for liquid. Getting a player who hasn't played at top for so long and having the old core of 3 players which are mediocre at best. Good luck.

By the way Hiko, that was the absolute SICKEST ACE EVER with the Tec-9 (wasnt pistol round) against Sponsorless. for anyone who hasnt seen yet. Gotta watch it a couple times, it happens pretty quick. HaHa twitch chat afterward exploded of course..
Holy shit, that was impressive, that last shot was sick !!!!
But it also was impressively awful by the enemy team, no team worth something would let that happen, especially knowing the position of hiko.
