20-11-2017 19:00

To celebrate Marcelo "coldzera" David's EPICENTER MVP award, our video editor Radosław "MAKKU" Makuch has put together a compilation of the player's best moments from the Russian tournament.

Marcelo "⁠coldzera⁠" David earned his fourth MVP medal of the year after inspiring SK to win EPICENTER following an impressive run that saw the team beat Virtus.pro (twice), Astralis and FaZe.

The 23-year-old had the highest rating of the tournament at 1.35 and was at his proactive best in both the semi-finals and in the final, topping the scoreboard on both occasions. He also led the tournament charts in terms of KDD (+102), KPR (0.90), KAST (76.8%), among other categories.

Below you can watch our compilation of some of the best plays from coldzera in Moscow, produced by our video editor Radosław "MAKKU" Makuch:

Do you guys know when quotations are used?

2017-11-20 20:47

6 replies

Yes, when somebody says something....

2017-11-20 20:49

5 replies

Also, when one's expressing sarcasm, which is much more likely in this case since there is not stated whose saying is that.

Countries starts with uppercase letter and I am sorry for you and your country that you can't even show the love to it... Maybe be patriotic? Oh yes, you have shame on you and yourself...

Don't try to teach me English, my little friend. latvia is irrelevant, hence I won't bother capitalizing the letter.

THE GOAT God bless our beloved prince of cs

2017-11-20 19:03

Very good !! Godzera is a beast!

2017-11-20 19:04

Its weird how unimpressive coldzera frags are NiKo runs in and gets three one taps but coldzera just calmly peeks and gets it right every time The guys a machine

13 replies

2017-11-20 19:08

unimpressive isnt the right term i would he's very smart on playing angles and keep calm on every situation to do the best move but hes very skilled aswell to headshotting and spraydown tap just isnt his thing

2017-11-20 19:42

Yeah absolutely But when I watch this video I don't see sick 3Ks, I see 3 kills that he gets 100% of the time. He has a 1.3 KD on LAN how sick is that!? Yet somehow he doesn't hit the same disgusting shots as NiKo, who seemingly pulls plays out of his ass rather than controlling the play all the way through like coldzera

2017-11-20 19:53

So it proves that raw skill isn't everything. You also have to be smart, which coldzera definetely is.

2017-11-20 20:23

consistency niko does that crazy plays maybe 3 or 4 times each map cold holds his angles 9 or 10 times each map while niko is much better to watch, cold has a lot more impact in game

absolutely its not a criticism just an observation

yeah, i agree, cold is boring to watch, he just demolishes his enemies without giving them a chance to fight niko is more interesting to watch

2017-11-20 20:51

You don't need flicks to be good, you play for your team and your org not for your clips or videos... Cold is consistent with his crosshair placement and good angles...

2017-11-20 20:48

true that

I could agree (if I understood right) Niko has good timings and he can make good things from them, but then - everyone forgets that this isn't dm or pug, it's a game for real money... And I'd prefer playing the safe way and not to shine with those running taps etc.

2017-11-20 20:54

I enjoy FalleN's kills the most. They seem so well calculated and risky

2017-11-20 21:40

+1 fallen is the king of high risk high reward plays

2017-11-20 21:48

2017-11-20 21:51

who needs BOTzera if u can have GOD REZ?!

I mean BOT, no. But denying that REZ is not absolutely insane is also wrong. So I'll give you that.

2017-11-20 20:38

REZ raped SK like retarded monkey

2017-11-20 22:44

2017-11-21 19:20

twitch is a video hoster now?

2017-11-20 19:41

Better late than never. Thanks for the good content hltv. You guys have little to no competitors but you still keep pushing the boundaries

WTF, so outdated. HLTV is disgusting............

2017-11-20 19:54

they are mad cuz sk lost to nip xd

2017-11-20 22:15

feels like they tried to bring sk back to attention

#1 - 2017 izi

2017-11-20 19:55

Na brain says "Coldzera overrated len mq" LuL

2017-11-20 20:10

Oh, wow. You people took so much time, so I thought... hey, they will at least make it right. And you bring a 2 minutes of almost nothing? You missed so many great moments. 1v2 clutch against VP, his amazing plays in window/ladder on Mirage in overtime against Astralis (which was another clutch), he had amazing plays with mp9 on Overpass as well as Train. You missed one more good 3k on Overpass - B site against FaZe. His clutch against FaZe on Mirage - ended up in a 1v1 with Guardian. His 3k to close the match vs FaZe. His 3k with the awp against VP in the chicken coop. Come on, people. Take your job a little bit more seriously. This video doesn't give justice to Cold's insane performance at EPICENTER. Just compare this mediocre video to Cold's MVP one from Sydney. That video was amazing.

Wtf, Twitch 720p looks so crap compared to Youtube 720p! Go back to Youtube please, terrible decision.

2017-11-20 21:30

Absolutely amazing watching this guy playing. Its a pleasure watch cold and niko, the best players in the world by far.

2017-11-20 22:24

Marcelo is so good. N1

2017-11-20 22:33

who?

2017-11-20 22:41

best player in the world

2017-11-20 23:02

what's the name of the song?

2017-11-20 22:45

When you are used to watch SuperstituM... This is so fuckin bad

2017-11-20 22:59

Being honest, this seemed more like a stream highlight video than an mvp video of one of the most exciting tournaments of the year. Surely this could have been done much better than very minimal editing with a veeeerrrrryyyy chill song and missing so many clips. Rather underwhelming video imo

2017-11-20 23:28

best player and boring af music. liked type of song when fer got mvp

2017-11-21 01:10

coldzera is the best csgo player yet, i know get_right, f0rest, olofmeister are great players, but cold is dominating a scene that has never been so competitive. It's easy for those early csgo years where the scene was not nearly close to be as competitive as today
