This raised a red flag for the remaining HellRaiser players, who nestled up at B thinking it should be a routine hold to manage seeing as both BIG players were armed with long-range weapons.

With only 20-seconds left before the bomb went off, the BIG pros set up a Smoke Grenade and Incendiary in the site to give them some breathing room. It turned out to be just enough too, as tabseN himself got a great flick kill on someone holding close door.
