Highlight Skin Showcase: dupreeh 4K vs M80

After Mohammad “BOROS” Malhas swiftly departed due to his disastrous stint with Falcons, it was none other than five-time Major winner Peter “dupreeh” Rasmussen who came in to replace the Jordanian. Since joining alongside his two former Astralis teammates, dupreeh has performed admirably despite the lack of successful runs deep in tournaments. The results need to turn quickly, as it is a shame to see a team full of so many superstars fail so miserably.

Even with the Danish veteran’s individual level being as high as ever, the results have been poor and this was maintained earlier in the month at BLAST Premier Fall Groups, where Falcons found themselves falling down to the BLAST Premier Fall Showdown. In the Groups phase, the international quintet suffered two defeats to Astralis which eventually led to their elimination from the event. The BLAST Premier Fall Showdown, known for being incredibly punishing and cut-throat, started just a few days ago, with Falcons' first match being against North American side M80. 

In this match, on the second map of the series - Dust 2, dupreeh produced what ended up being a crucial highlight, given that the map was incredibly close and ended 16-14. With his preferred M4 in hand, the M4A4, dupreeh peered down long and found four quick kills, decimating the T-side attack on the A bombsite. This play was an impeccable display of skill, showcasing the true upper limit of what is capable with the M4A4, and will certainly convert some M4A1-S users to the dark side.

Without further ado, let’s take a look at the skins the player with the most Major victories in history is using…

Either a big fan of green or just wanting to match with his new organization’s logo, dupreeh was using one of the most expensive and popular green knife and glove combinations in the game. During this match, dupreeh was sporting his Butterfly Knife | Gamma Doppler Emerald alongside his pair of Sport Gloves | Hedge Maze. The Butterfly Knife | Gamma Doppler Emerald has the best of both worlds, having a clean animation as well as a beautiful finish that glistens in the sun of Dust 2. The Sport Gloves | Hedge Maze are also majority-green, being contrasted by white stripes down the gloves. An incredibly eye-catching combo to say the least, fitting of the most winning player in Counter-Strike history. The Hedge Maze gloves will set you back just under $9K in Minimal Wear, with the knife just under $17K, incredibly expensive we are aware.

The weapon with which the Danish rifler found his four kills was the M4A4, specifically his M4A4 | Desolate Space, which is Factory New and StatTrak™. The Desolate Space was added through the Gamma Collection in June 2016 and quickly became incredibly popular. The gun finish features blue and black as its main colors and the design takes inspiration from not only deep space exploration but also manages to convey the immense isolation and desolation one would feel when exploring outer space. Easily one of the best-looking skins in the entire game, the M4A4 | Desolate Space can be purchased in StatTrak™ Factory New for less than $80.

Will this highlight make you switch to M4A4?
