Coming through the ranks on the big Argentinian CS:GO team 9z at the modest age of 15, Santino “try” Rigal quickly became a player to keep an eye on for the future. Especially one match stands out in his young career as a pro player. That was when he and 9z took on Vitality at BLAST Premier Spring Showdown in April 2021.
Here the South American underdogs managed to take down the Frenchmen, led by try and his massive 1.57 rating, where he kept the opposing AWPer Mathieu “ZywOo” Herbaut on a 0.83 rating throughout three maps.

That was something we asked Niels Christian “NaToSaphiX” Sillassen in our “Deep Dive” series, where he through a demo review takes a closer look on the 17-year-old AWPer. Check it out down below.
