The Counter-Strike community erupted with excitement following a recent clip from Twitch streamer Cooper "Trucklover86" Phelps, who pulled off a stunning 1v5 clutch using only a Deagle, landing every shot as a headshot. The clip quickly went viral, showcasing Phelps' exceptional skill, and drew attention not just from fans, but also from the official game account.
The action unfolded on Mirage, one of the most iconic maps in Counter-Strike. Trucklover86 and his team started on the CT side, and after losing the pistol round, they opted for a force-buy. In this round, Phelps' entire team was wiped out, and the bomb was planted on A-site, leaving Trucklover86 in a 1v5 situation — typically a near-certain loss. However, he turned it into one of the most memorable highlights.
Event Details - 1v5 by Trucklover86
Trucklover86 first took out an enemy pushing through the vent with a clean headshot. With his position now compromised, the remaining opponents tried to overwhelm him. Undeterred, Phelps swiftly landed three precise headshots on enemies rushing from Jungle and another on an opponent attacking from CT spawn. Spinning back to Jungle, he instantly eliminated the fourth enemy. The clutch was sealed with a final, spectacular shot, catching the last opponent mid-air on the A-site. This masterful moment culminated in a jaw-dropping highlight with the Desert Eagle.
