Knife Drought for Counter-Strike Veteran Tarik Ends After Opening a $4000 Super Rare Surprise

Tarik has been a very popular figure for FPS fans. He established his forte through his Counter-Strike career and now has found a new home in Valorant. Arguably, one of the best eSports streamers, Tarik has been garnering thousands of views. Interestingly, his watch parties get double to triple views compared to the official Valorant streams, making him a monumental figure in the scene.

The CS: GO veteran is currently busy with his Americas League watch parties where his affiliated organization Sentinels participate. It seems like yesterday was an amazing day for both Tarik and his org, especially because the former got a $4K surprise.

Tarik gets a $4000 worth surprise from Counter-Strike

Valorant and Counter-Strike have some similarities, but are at polarized ends. Mechanisms and other vital aspects differ, but one thing that is adored in both games is the skins. The system is quite different, and we can say that Counter-Strike skins have more resale value. There is a buzzing market for the CS skins, and thus opening a crate is a matter of life and death for many.

Tarik, in his latest stream, was back in action in CS: GO and was opening a few crates, just to try his luck. The stars were in his favor and he got the surprise of his lifetime. Tarik opened a Dream and Nightmares Case Key, and the pointer stopped at gold. You know what this means, a rare item.

The fan-favorite streamer landed on Butterfly Knife| Lore, which is one of the very rare melees you can find in the game. As soon as Tarik saw he landed on a gold mine, the streamer started screaming. “All joke aside, I am going to get a noise complaint for sure,” stated Tarik after realizing his excitement went over the roof.

According to the stats, the streamer pulled up the knife which was introduced into the game in 2021 through Operation Riptide and costs $4,000. At the time of writing, the price of the skin has sky-rocketed to around $8,000!

Tarik and his organization Sentinels had a very lucky day yesterday. Sentinels defeated Mibr in a do-or-die match and got the needed points to keep their dreams alive. Fans would likely see Tarik live today as well. He probably would do a watch party for the Leviathan-100 Thieves and Evil Geniuses- Loud matches.
