In the ELeague Season 2 grand finals on Saturday, Astralis and OpTic Gaming were tied 1-1 in the best-of-three series. With everything on the line on the third map -- Overpass -- both teams were playing it safe and avoiding overly aggressive plays.
That happened to work out for Astralis's Nicolai "Dev1ce" Reedtz.
Dev1ce was caught in a 1v4 situation against a well-armed OpTic defense. With the bomb already down on bombsite B, Dev1ce had to stop OpTic from killing him and defusing the bomb to win the round.
OpTic advanced on him from all angles, but with amazing precision and some great movement around limited cover, Dev1ce took all four of them out to secure the round for Astralis.

Nailing perfect Chain Hooks on the enemy Ana and Genji while blasting away the heavies with his ultimate, Taimou dissolved Afreeca Blue's offense to end the round.
