The best players in CS2 today according to FAQCS

After the transition of the commands to CS2, many expected that the situation on the pro-scene could change significantly, it happened. Many teams that did not perform in CS: GO opened around the new and are now tearing in a new game. Today I would like to talk about the best players in CS2, who managed to adapt better than others, and now they show not only a high, but also a stable level of the game, which is important.

As many know at the end of each year, HLTV rolls out its top, 1 place in which it is quite prestigious. We offer to make the top 5 according to our version and who knows, maybe we will be right?

1st place – zywoo

Mathieu ‘Zywoo’ Certificate will most likely take the first line of the rating, because he managed to achieve a lot with Vitaly this year. In addition to a chic individual game, the Frenchman also showed that he knows how to play in the team. Naturally, his role in the team implies Solo highlights rather, but no one canceled the teamwork.

This year he repeatedly received MVP medals, and the very sign for him was the reward with the Blast Paris Major 2023, where he and his team took first place and took the best player. In addition, he perfectly performed at Gamers8, where he also became the best and recent Blast Fall Finals 2023, having beaten the seemingly invincible FAZE.

2nd place – NIKO

Many will ask where S1Mple? Alas, DonBet reviews Alexander in 2023 did not show any stunning results, this was influenced by many factors and his place may be very likely to take one of the best riflers in the world, namely Nichola ‘Niko’ Kovach. Despite his excellent performance, the team could not find its game in many ways, but nevertheless, at the beginning of the year they managed to pick up 2 large trophies – IEM Katowice 2023 and IEM Colorne 2023, which are quite prestigious.

Based on these factors, Niko should definitely fall into the list of the best along with Zywoo, although now something strange is happening in G2, which even their young sniper M0NESY hints at.

3rd place – ropz

Yes, it is Ropz in our top that will take the third line and does it quite deservedly. FAZE after the transition to CS2 began to show some incredible level of game. After Valve released their new shooter, they managed to win 3 trophies: Thunderpick World Championship 2023, CAC 2023 and IEM Sydney 2023. In almost every tournament, Robin ‘Ropz’ Kohl showed an excellent performance for which he repeatedly received the title of MVP.

If he continues to help Karrigan’s and the company to conquer the titles, then it is likely to be at the top of not only our top, but also the HLTV rating.

4th place – Broky

Another player Faze Clan, but this time Helviis ‘Broky’ Shankants – Sniper. It is impossible not to evaluate his contribution to the success of the team, because he, along with Ropz, after the transition to CS2 also looks very better than other players from AWP. We add the last achievements of the composition here, we will also not forget about the fix of the sniper rifle, which was noted by many professional players. We conclude: with all the conventions, Helviis was able not only to remain at the same level, but also to improve his game, which leads us to the fact that he in this top is not just like that.

5th place – M0NESY

It is impossible not to mention one of the most promising players in CS2, who performs with NIKO in G2, of course it is Ilya ‘M0NESY’ Osipov. He, like Niko, showed a gorgeous game before the release of CS2 and despite all the problems of the new game, spends a lot of time in it, which is directly reflected in his performances on the pro-scene.

It is also worth noting that S1Mple is not in this top, since he decided to go into Inactiv because of personal reasons and discontent from the new Valve product. For M0NESY, this is a great chance to become those who can impose the Zywoo struggle and take the place of the best player, forever entering their name in the history of Counter Strike.

Where the S1Mple disappeared?

Many will be surprised without seeing S1Mple in this top, but do not rush with conclusions. Of course, Alexander Kostylev was recognized as the best player in the history of CS: GO, but, unfortunately, in CS2 he could not consolidate this success. Surely this was affected by many factors: the decay of the legendary and one of the strongest NAVI compositions, the transition to the format of the international team and communication in another language, the damp CS2 – all these moments have somehow influenced the choice of Sasha and now it is in the inactive.

Alas, he does not go into our top, but not because he is a bad player, but for the reason that his achievements in CS2 are difficult to count, because they are almost gone. Let’s hope that over time, Goat will return, but for now he is only to receive an honorary mention and still leaves us the hope that once again we will see the legendary duel for the top-1 in the world between him and Zywoo.
