“Put this move in the Louvre,” they said. What was meant as a joke was put into action shortly afterwards.
Sometimes you should just take things literally. That would make life a lot more fun! Besides, otherwise an impressive CS:GO clip would never have ended up in the Louvre We’ll explain how it came to be.
The Blast.TV Major, an esports championship, is on. Vitality is playing G2, it’s already the fifteenth round. G2 seems to be winning, the team has planted the bomb at A Site and almost completely decimated the opposing team down to one last player. But then Vitality’s Zyw0o shows what he is made of – but just see for yourself.
Put this play in the Louvre. 🇫🇷 https://t.co/rjddxAIF8a

Zyw0o manages a sheer clutch to save the round. Counter-Strike’s official Twitter channel then shared the clip with the words Send this move to the Louvre
A common phrase meant to say that something is of such high quality that it belongs in arguably the most famous art museum in the world. But the North American Counter-Strike organisation (Dust2.us) didn’t just see it as a meme, they saw it as a real call. Just one day later, they posted a video on Twitter of someone standing in front of the Mona Lisa equipped with a laptop and playing the clip. We put it in the Louvre
, Dust2.us wrote about it.

The whole action becomes even more fitting when you consider that the Esport tournament took place in Paris, Vitality is a Parisian team and player Zyw0o is of course French. So it was more than fitting to put this impressive move in the Louvre!
Can you laugh at such moves or do you think the joke wasn’t worth the effort? Have you seen the meme many times before or is this the first time you’ve seen it? And what do you think of the clip itself? Impressive performance or completely overrated? Feel free to write us your assessment in the comments!
