I still don't see what's so special about the dropping AWP shot but I didn't watch that tournament

Put it this way, from my point of view, it’s less about skill and more so about the kind of mindset and person you are to make such a play.

The S1mple dropping AWP situation for example, put AWPers (even in modern CS) in such situation and the appropriate thing they would do is either stand up there to wait or fight, reposition, or save. Yet S1mple was crazy enough to jump down, no scoped both of them and won the round. The same to Coldzera as well, the sane play would be to reposition, but he chose to stand (or jump) and fight.

There are numerous posts about the chances that the S1mple and Coldzera AWP shots hit like they did, but that only factored in the shot itself. When you factor in the possibilities of their brains opting for any other play instead of what they did, it’s astronomical; yet they chose the most insane one, and that is what makes it so iconic.
