Video: trace vs FiNESSE

5-2-2013 22:30

In today's Frags from the past Martin "trace" Heldt shows us his tapping skills with the AK47 which he put to good use in the second group stage of Arbalet Cup Dallas 2010 against the US team FiNESSE.

The Danish ace was left all on his own in the bottom mid area while mTw were planting the bomb on B bombsite. After hearing steps from connector, Heldt decided to wait for an easy frag from behind.

Even though he got stuck in the center of mid with three opponents right in front of him, trace kept his calm and aimed for the top of their heads. A few wasted bullets did not stop him from trying as he got all of the remaining FiNESSE players lined up on the floor with three beautiful two-bullet taps in just a few seconds.

After placing first in both group stages, mTw continued in the path onto their losing streak against Na´Vi after being knocked out by the Ukrainians in the quarter-final.

Nah, I miss 2003. CS 1.6 got boring after 7+ years playing it, but in its prime and when I was a kid, damn that shit was fun.

2000-2005 for me mainly

2013-02-06 05:50

I must agree. Around 2001 to 2003 most of us had no own pc's and we usualy went to play lan on an inet caffee. It wasn't big (12 pc's) so most likely it was always full and we needed to wait to a free slot to play cs or any hl1 related mods like ricochet or wanted.:D Still we had a lot of fun and everyone enjoyed the game cuz it was NEW. Damn, we payed a lot. :,)

neo ~ok, this is personal opinion, i consider a draw f0rest ~ trace abilities with awp make him "most complete" than f0rest, but f0rest played in high level for a really long time, so lets consider a draw here too spawn ~ you must be kidding me hahahhaha

SpawN got sniper, rifler and best pistoler awards from tournaments of his era...why the hell u're laughing like an idiot

2013-02-06 00:01

+1, but in my opinion forest awp is much worse than neo's or trace. He's not such complete player like them, but he has amazing rifle and pistol skills. Maybe I'm so called neo's fanboy, but I think that eventhough neo makes so much frags, he is the one who along with kuben cares about teamplay. I mean he never gets easy frags like for example gtr used to do in 1.6, and that's what makes him the best 1.6 player imho :D

2013-02-06 00:29

f0rest is bad with awp, really? youtube.com/watch?v=7Kfnl49VAqc enjoy frags mainly vs ESC with AWP

2013-02-06 18:08

SpawN > trace

if youre talkin about wins: yes talking about skill: LOL, no fucking way

2013-02-06 15:19

you don't know 1.6 if you truly believe anyone > spawn. I mean there have been some really good and really dominate players at times from all countries but I bet you if you took a poll by the top players spawn would still be at the top even without playing.

2013-02-06 19:43

spawn was ahead of its time

2013-02-06 20:15

so? that doesnt make him better than trace..

2013-02-07 13:27

lol... spawn was alot better then trace will ever be you dont even know who spawn is when you laughing. your just trace biggest fan prob. but trace is good alround and better with awp then f0rest but not better with rifles..

2013-02-06 22:12

Spawn wasnt a lot better than trace, and will never be, he won more championships and thats it, skillwise trace is by far better than spawn :D

2013-02-07 13:29

SpawN is a beast you fool ! He owned f0rest a hundred times when he was active so stfu brazilian dumbass ..

2013-02-07 13:26

ANd what the fuck this has to do with trace? Spawn was a beat in his time and won several majors and bla bla bla, but we are talking about skill, and spawn is far from trace ~neo~forest

2013-02-07 13:30

neo, spawn, solo

2013-02-05 23:01

Neo ~ok spawn hahahha and solo hahahahhahahah

what's wrong with spawn? when he played in the same age as f0rest he pretty much owned him, spawn was good with mainly all weapons, he used the AWP the first time in his life in an official match in the CPL Winter 2005 grand final and that paid off good (I know this from his grilled iview of Thorin)

2013-02-05 23:09

Yeh bro, awesome interview! :D Awping on Inf and Train!

Well, how about LeX(Aleksey Kolesnikov) from VP? He's mbe not played alot, at profesional scene, but his awp is amazing, just like pistols, he's good overall.

2013-02-05 23:15

he's good...that's all, he never played on the f0rest's, neo's, spawn's or trace's level

2013-02-06 00:04

Not better, but players who can compete with trace mSx 2k7 (awp&rifles) SIXER (awp&rifles)

2013-02-06 09:05

Whimp is the king!
