Present simple/past simple
Hi,
"The hero dies at the end of the movie." Would past simple be incorrect in this case? And why?
________________________
Boosted on the left side of middle, Klasson gets his first kill on Geir-Stian "juve9le" Svendsen who is peeking the fence after MYM gets their opening pick of the round.
Klasson then takes the round in his own hands, as he flashes the remaining terrorists and then gets three quick headshots with his silenced Colt M4A1 to win Begrip another round on their way to a 16-11 win.
After winning this match, the Swedes went on to lose to mibr twice, first in the upper bracket quarters with 11-16 and subsequently in the lower bracket final with 1-16.
Why did the writer use present simple here? He was explaining what happened in the past. Also, why did he use 'went'? Would present simple be wrong?
