In the final game of the ESL Counter-Strike: Global Offensive Pro League finals, SK Gaming’s Gabriel “Fallen” Toledo nailed the most amazing play of the five-match weekend.

With the series tied 1-1, the championship was on the line on Dust2. Fallen found himself in a 1v2 scenario against Cloud9’s Tyler “Skadoodle” Latham and Jordan “N0thing” Gilbert, with just a small amount of time to defuse the bomb planted by Cloud9.

Acting quickly with the AWP sniper rifle, Fallen pulled off an astounding clutch win for SK Gaming. The commentators and crowd went nuts for it.

After taking out Skadoodle with a quick shot around a corner, Fallen jumped up to see where N0thing was waiting near the bomb. With that info, Fallen advanced up the higher ground and blasted N0thing with a no-scope shot through the boxes he was using for cover.

Without a defuse kit, Fallen barely defused the bomb before it exploded, winning the round to the cheers of his hometown crowd in São Paulo, Brazil.

SK Gaming couldn’t capitalize on that win and eventually lost the game 16-5 against the North American Cloud9, ending ESL Pro League Season 4 in second place and taking home $90,000 of the $600,000 prize pool.

Once the tournament concluded, Fallen was awarded MVP of the finals with a  €1,000 ($1,094) prize, which he later tweeted he was donating to fight cancer in his community.
