Astralis used an incredible triple boost to secure the opening kill

Astralis, in their match against paiN at IEM Krakow 2026, pulled off an incredible triple-boost for the opening kill, and it worked.

A clip of the unique moment was posted on Reddit.

The footage shows how the team managed to build a ladder out of three players, waited for the right moment and landed a precise shot. Many viewers were surprised that Astralis managed to pull this off, since usually during boosts players slide off and end up falling.

However, the trick turned out to be very simple – the ladder was built close to a wall, and the players simply slid down and rested against it. As a result, Astralis’ tactic gave them an advantage, and they defeated their opponents on both maps with a 2:0 score.
