In the world of VALORANT, absurdity takes on many forms. However, Team Liquid’s star player, Elias “Jamppi” Olkkonen, pulled off a round on Bind that defied all expectations and secured a remarkable win.
With an 11-5 lead, Jamppi didn’t necessarily need a game-changing play to turn the tide. Nevertheless, the Finnish rifler delivered an extraordinary performance, showcasing his skills while streaming.
Playing as Brimstone, Jamppi quickly lined up an Incendiary grenade and executed a jump-throw before embarking on the retake through Hookah. He kicked off the action with a precise headshot on the opposing Viper, igniting the retake. However, Viper’s Snake Bite posed a delay, forcing the push onto B to accelerate.
Now facing a two-versus-two situation, the chaos ensued. Jamppi’s Incendiary grenade found its mark on the bombsite, reducing the Raze to ashes and leaving the attacking Brimstone alone. But the Brimstone had a surprise up his sleeve in the form of his ultimate ability, Orbital Strike.
Deploying a smoke and then unleashing his ultimate, Jamppi found himself with no time on the clock. He had to make a daring jump out of Hookah onto the site and locate the Brimstone immediately. In a stunning display of skill, he executed a 360-degree turn mid-air and blindly fired his Vandal.
The first shot connected with Brimstone’s head, sealing the victory for Team Liquid.
This round showcased the importance of utility lineups for each agent and emphasized the significance of knowing and executing key lineups, particularly when retaking a lost bombsite on defense.
As we reflect on this incredible moment, it serves as a reminder that taking risks and seizing opportunities is crucial. Jamppi’s audacious play may just inspire him to attempt more jaw-dropping moves when VCT 2024 arrives next February. Team Liquid will undoubtedly be looking to bounce back after their disappointing exit in Los Angeles to end the year.
