With a 1.17 rating, the player has stepped up when the occasion demands. Besides Jks, Gratisfaction is also vital with the AWP. The New Zealander is one of the reasons for 100 Thieves’ dominance on maps like Inferno and Vertigo. CS:GO fans can often see him holding off the A bombsite from behind the boxes with the AWP.
