Whilst North American teams and players have been regarded as less strategical and more impulsive than the CIS and EU region, sometimes the impulsive and “stupid” can work to your own advantage. Jake “Stewie2K” Yip is living proof of exactly that. Given the title “Smoke Criminal” he has mastered the act of playing around and through smokes.
The former Major winner in “Stewie2K” proved his abilities to outsmart his opponents in the timings of a smoke once again. When facing Entropiq the Smoke Criminal read a timing perfectly as he walked through the smoke. Not only did he catch an unsuspected player, instead of shooting and revealing his position he carried on walking through the opponent’s spawn. Reaching the “heaven” position he quickly executed two Entropiq players and won the round singlehandedly.
