The ongoing pandemic forced many athletes to stay indoors and look for other modes of entertainment while keeping themselves fit. Popular Brazilian soccer star Neymar Jr. is just another name on the list of players who found solace in video games. The PSG winger has made headlines in the past, shocking the community with his unique set of gaming skills.

He has made headlines yet again. So much so, that Esports consultant Rod Breslau dubbed him as an upcoming Esports superstar.

Neymar pulled off an incredible 1vs3 clutch in Counter-Strike: Global Offensive in the most amazing way that had the entire lobby up and running on its feet.

During a 5v5 star-studded match, Neymar’s squad went against famous French streamer Corentin “Gotaga” Houssein. Both teams had heavyweights from Counter-Strike’s competitive scene. Neymar’s team comprised members from Team FURIA, while Team Gotaga comprised members from French Team, Vitality.
