Built Different, Built To Last: The Retired Legend Who Came Back to Run Over CS:GO

Unlike many of his French kinsmen, Cedric 'RpK' Guipouy has long been regarded as an altogether unemotional assailant. A silent yet slippery sentinel who’s strong in any position and able to stay calm and collected in even the tensest of circumstances. A reputation that’s led him to being dubbed “The Tank”.
So, how is it that RpK came to embody this vehicular playstyle in the first place, in what sense did his CS:GO career come dangerously close to ending before it even got started and how is it that he’s still able to stonewall zoomers despite being in his thirties?

Great content as always, didn't know his history, more respect than ever for him now

@DeletedTaters001 3 года назад

RpK might not always be the best fragger, or the most consistent fragger, but he's "good enough", while bringing the whole package. He's always willing to be the guy who runs in first (and dies), be the anchor, the guy who saves for ak round 1, etc. He's the perfect "team player". It's also amazing that he keeps his from up at 31 (where others usually drop off) and recovered from that sickness/medical condition he had. It's amazing to see what he's overcome. It's also unique to see a Source player rise up. (In CSGO) Edit: the timing might be kind of funny, but it's worth noting that RpK was a part of team Vitality's success in 2020 :)

@satoshialvez4452 3 года назад

I'd happy to watch some kind of documentary video of the dominating trio of teams for 2020, Vitality, Astralis, Na'Vi. The whole year of CS was just theirs, many teams were trying to shine as bright as them, but none could pull the victory of all of them. Heroic and BIG were at the top for a moment, but they were trashed as soon as they meet one of these teams. And it was always just after starting a moment of their shine. None can compete with all of them, and it's amazing to watch.
