CS:GO Player NaToSaphiX Explains Why Deagle Is An Overrated Weapon

Niels Christian “NaToSaphiX” Sillassen is a 24-year-old Danish CS:GO player who has been representing Nordavind for over eight months. On August 10, he was benched by the Danish organization.

NaToSaphiX spoke in a recent interview with Rivalry CS:GO and talked about lots of things about the game, including the power level of one of the most iconic guns in gaming history, Desert Eagle.

In the conversation, NaToSaphiX stated that even though the community likes the plays of Deagle while watching the nutty one-shots, it is better to play with Five Seven or CZ during the force buy, and it is better to have TEC-9’s with utility instead of taking just Deagle.

Furthermore, NaToSaphiX said that people are hoping to have a crazy highlight video while they are buying Desert Eagle, however, the other pistols are much better options if you want to win the game.

Interviewer asked:

“The Deagle, overrated or underrated?”

Here is what NaToSaphiX said:

“I think the deagle is overrated. You see it on highlights all the time but people are getting these nutty one deags and winning unwinnable rounds. But, I think especially when you are the CT, buying a five seven or CZ is actually almost always the better bet.

If you are on the terrorist side and you have actually have a plan, if your teammates are buying smokes, flashes, its almost always the case that a TEC-9 is the better option.”
