NiKo crushes Imperial in the first map of the series at Spring Final 2023

Nikola “NiKo” Kovač, one of the experienced CS:GO players who continue to demonstrate an exceptional level in every game, had an impressive performance on the first map played against Imperial Esports a few hours ago. The 26-year-old Bosnian signed one of the best individual-level performances in his career and wrote a new record in the historical pages of the game.

In the match between G2 Esports and Imperial Esports last June 8, 2023, of the BLAST Premier Spring Final, NiKo took it upon himself to crush the Brazilians with a solid performance on Ancient, where he got 30 kills in the first half. There is no doubt that not many players can boast of this feat, and even more so in a top-level tournament and against a powerful team.

NiKo gets 30 frags in the first half against Imperial Esports

The reality is that there are not many players who can get 30 kills in a full game in a top-level CS:GO tournament. However, 26-year-old Bosnian NiKo did, but only in the first half on Ancient, the first map of the series between G2 and Imperial. This means that, with only 15 rounds played, NiKo got 30 kills, which translates to an average of 2 kills per round, something truly incredible.

There is no doubt that, with this performance by NiKo, G2 Esports had victory in Ancient in their pocket from start to finish. Moreover, it is worth noting that he only died four times in the first half and, according to HLTV, had a Rating of 3.03 and 182.9 ADR in the first half. As a result, G2 got a first-half win by 12-3 and then on the map by 16-7. Finally, NiKo finished the first map with a K/D of 35-10 and a 2.33 Rating.

One of the most impressive plays came in round five when he annihilated three Imperial players on Mid with an AK-47.

Fans react to NiKo’s performance

As expected, this extraordinary performance by NiKo caused a lot of buzz in the community. In addition, one user on Reddit noted that the Bosnian had a 19-0 start, and one of the most popular CS:GO analysts on the scene, Jason “moses” O’Toole, said on his Twitter:

“Lollllllllllllllllllllll what a beast.”

Throughout his career as a professional, NiKo has been recognized as one of the best-performing players using the AK-47 and M4A4. While it is true that he has never managed to be at the top of the list of the best players in the world, NiKo is always there, giving lectures on how to control this pair of rifles.

On the other hand, NiKo is one of the game’s legends who will retire without ever winning a CS:GO Major. However, the player has that thorn and wants to get it out in CS2.

To follow NiKo and G2 Esports, do not miss the actions of the BLAST Premier Spring Final 2023, which is in its playoffs stage, and G2 starts it from the semifinals.
