Video: allen vs k23

17-12-2012 21:35

Our 101st "Frags from the Past" video showcases two actions by SK's Jimmy "allen" Allen at the 2009 edition of e-Stars Seoul, during his group stage match against k23.

The first action sees a clever play by him, as he uses a fairly uncommon hiding spot in his one-versus four clutch, which eventually wins SK the round.

His second highlight takes place in the second half pistol round, where Allen shows splendid glock handling by smashing three opponents with it in lobby before taking out the last enemy with a USP.

Allen joined SK Gaming on July 17 in 2006 alongside Mattias "Snajdan" Andersen, being just 17-years-old. Since then he has attended many events and most of the time finished within the top five but after almost 5 years under the SK tag he decided to retire in April of 2011.

hello sally

Allen was always very consistent and definitely fit the definition of the support role in CS. He was always incredibly camera shy to. CS missing another legend!

really good action. very good intuition of hiding and watch after 3rd kill, 1st scene he even fakes to go into window so he can pick up the last easier. iDownload the scene, gives back memories of competitive 1.6 times ^.^

Hahah same here.

2012-12-17 22:04

snajdan did this so many times, at times with smoke! and same here, fail after fail :D

2012-12-18 05:30

well works at times and depends on the situation and how ur teammates r supporting u by baiting(not the case in this one).. and if one of the enemies fail to check it, most often no one else will. done this many times and yeah, rly powerful tool on that part of the map when choosen to be used wisely. dont rly understand the concept of watching to the ceiling (I personally did it only by watching to the wall or one side or the other, ur almost never flashed in that spot usually.

2012-12-18 07:50

not sure if u realized it or not but he's looking into the ceiling so that his weapon will be less visible. usually u go around that corner as T and check left (or right if ur on the other side) and if u dont see anything u stop looking. if the ct is standing with his weapon to the side, the terrorists will see it when they're looking towards window or whatever, but not if he has it to the ceiling or facing towards the wall. generally you dont search the whole wall as a T, since you think you'll see a CT by searching 90% of it. that's why it's so clever.

2012-12-18 10:43

its the same when looking at the wall.. AS I SAID.

2012-12-18 20:58

"I personally did it only by watching to the wall or one side or the other" i interpreted that as you are looking to the sides. but anyway i wasnt sure if you realized or not, thats why i started with that sentence. dont heff to be mad, is only game!

2012-12-19 09:03

it works 9/10 times for me, though i never look up into the roof, i just look into the wall.

2012-12-18 10:37

2012-12-18 20:15

Yeah that's what i said too but there was no one checking that side, even if he was hiding his M4A1 !! maybe he sticked to the wall kinda : yeah they wont gonna see me, i'm a wall :DD

2012-12-19 11:09

allen was really sick. when he came to sk he had his unique aiming. he was moving extremely fast and hitting nearly every shot. at this time he was far better than ins oder zet who had most of the attention
