While football comes easy to Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) star Neymar Jr, arguably one of the best players in football currently, the Brazilian international is equally good enough in front of a screen during battle royale games. While the 28-year-old's skills with the ball are well known, the former Barcelona forward also showcased his capabilities in eSports, outclassing pro-gamers with an insane set of skills. So much so that Neymar's skills had the opposition lobby jumping off their seats, claiming the PSG star could turn out to be the next big thing in eSports.

The duo showcased their dominance and the PSG star was in a spot of bother, having to defend the bomb while ZywOo, Shox, and Gotaga were all still alive on the other team. However, in a classic clutch move, Neymar took down all three to improbably win the round. The Brazilian international first planted the bomb in Inferno’s A-site. Upon seeing ZywOo, Neymar immediately killed him with a headshot. The 28-year-old delivered the final nail in the coffin by killing Shox in a mano-a-mano encounter.

While Neymar impressed in his CS:GO outing, his team recorded a loss earning only 5 wins in the match. Amid the loss, the 28-year-old was the second-best player in his team behind Brazilian pro player Yuri “yuurih” Santos. The former Barcelona star garnered 16 kills, 1 MVP mention, a triple kill, and a quadro-kill. Neymar’s presence on Twitch, and now his perfect display of skills is an insight of what the 28-year-old will be looking forward to especially with him being out of action for a substantial period due to injury.
