Nikola “NiKo” Kovac just did something filthy at the IEM Cologne 2026 Major. The Falcons Esports rifler pulled off a multi-kill spray transfer, a 1v3 clutch sequence that has since gone viral across Reddit, YouTube, and Instagram.
The play and the player behind it
For the uninitiated, a spray transfer is when a player holds down the trigger on an automatic weapon and redirects their aim to a second (or third) target without releasing the fire button. It requires precise recoil control while simultaneously tracking a moving enemy.
NiKo’s version involved eliminating three opponents in rapid succession. He has now competed in 16 Major tournaments without winning a single one. The IEM Cologne 2026 Major represents the latest chapter in that quest.
The IEM Cologne 2026 Major, organized by ESL and currently in its Stage 2 phase, is a cornerstone of the Counter-Strike Pro Tour. NiKo’s sponsor is Razer. Official Major stickers, including a NiKo autograph variant, are already available on CS2 skin marketplaces.
