First time in CS:GO

The first day of ESL Pro League concluded with not surprising results. However, there was one thing that would attract a lot of attention.

That was the first time Nikola "NiKo" Kovač from FaZe Clan would pick up an AUG. The rifler made a Tweet not long ago mentioning the rise of AUG.

Later in the event, in the Bo3 match against North, the rifler still felt comfortable with the gun.

This seems like good news for FaZe fans as their superstar has decided to drop his own ego and drift with the tide, picking up the overpowered rifle. Ever since the addition of Filip "NEO" Kubski as a dedicated IGL, FaZe has made significant improvement as a team. They seemed to work more like a squad, rather than a cluster of 5 people packed under a jersey.
