Over the last seven days, the very best players and teams within CS:GO has clashed together at the prominent BLAST Premier Fall Groups. In three star-studded groups, teams like NAVI, Astralis, and Liquid all fight for a spot at the upcoming Fall Finals, which is going to be held on LAN in Royal Arena in Copenhagen.

Looking at the player statistics after the conclusion of Group A and B, it’s clear to see that one single individual has presented a level of CS way above anyone else. It’s of course the Bosnian powerhouse Nikola “NiKo” Kovac from G2.

NiKo 4 USP headshot kills against NIP:

The superstar rifler has carried the French-Balkan team on his shoulder in nearly every round of the event. Unfortunately for him, it was all in vain. Because NiKo and company didn’t manage to overcome their challengers from BIG and NIP, which meant that G2 only was given a third place in the group.
