A CS:GO pro wins IEM Cologne match with crystals

CS:GO pro player Dmitry sh1ro Sokolov has gone viral for bringing some crystals with him to a game at IEM Cologne.

Sokolov plays for Cloud9, and helped see them to victory against GamerLegion. He brought five different stones to the match, claiming they would block negative energy and help balance erratic emotions.

It appears these crystals worked, as not only did his team win but sh1ro had an incredible game, earning 78 kills across three maps. No matter if the crystals have a real, tangible effect or not, it's likely the player will be taking them with him again after this success.
