Esports reporter Rod “Slasher” Brelsau posted a tweet showing Neymar Jr.'s insane CSGO skills. In a showmatch against CSGO professional players namely Mathieu “ZywOo” Herbaut and Richard “shox” Papillon, Neymar outclassed them in one round.

The 28-year old Brazilian football megastar first planted the bomb in Inferno's A-site. Upon seeing ZywOo, he immediately bursted him with a headshot. He delivered the final nail in the coffin by killing shox in a mano a mano encounter.

Though he impressed in his CSGO outing, his team recorded a loss earning only 5 wins in the match. Amid the loss, Neymar was the second best player in his team behind Brazilian pro player Yuri “yuurih” Santos. He garnered 16 kills, 1 MVP mention, a triple kill, and a quadro kill.

The 2nd game which took place in Mirage saw Neymar suffer a performance dip as he was last in the overall rankings.

Slasher even joked around the idea of Neymar being a professional esports player, mentioning FaZe Clan and 100 Thieves as a potential destination. Paris Saint-Germain broke the bank to acquire Neymar's services and it will require more than just hoodies in convincing Neymar to be an esports pro.

Brazil has always been a hotbed for CSGO talents. They've produced world class players like Marcelo “Coldzera” Augusto David. They've even formed one of the best teams in the scene with FURIA and MiBR (Made in Brazil). Given the game's popularity, football icons like Neymar and Casemiro have devoted their time to the game with the latter forming his own CSGO organization.
