I am real happy I had time to fully witness 2021 Niko performance, the last 6 months of that year were absolutely bonkers. He could do no wrong, he had I think 37 or 39 maps without rating falling below 1.0 - not a single soul could counter Niko. s1mple's record is 31 map. That was a period of extreme CT meta and at one point Niko was the only player in the world with positive T numbers. He had the entire game in his pocket, it was beautiful.
In 2019 over 6 LANS (42 maps) with Guardian in the lineup, S1mple put up a 1.30 rating, 87.5 ADR, 0.84 KPR and 0.60 DPR. In 11 maps against top 5 opponents he had a 1.24 rating. All while using the rifle and secondary AWP. Small sample and Kreig meta, but goes to show just how absolutely GOATed this man is.
My favorite team ever is 2016 Luminosity i'll never forget that final vs G2 EPL Season 3 that bo5 is to this day the best I've ever watched of Counter Strike both teams going crazy with insane perfomances from Shox, Scream and Coldzera also the map pool was flawless i mean Overpass, Train, Cobblestone, Dust 2 and Inferno to finish up
Peak shox is some of the best CS you can ever watch, guy was so fucking sick. He was good with every weapon, unbelievable pistol round player, obviously one of if not the best mid - round players of all time, simply godlike at clutches. That intuitive feel for the game paired with his insane aim and gun skills made it so beautiful to watch him.
Coldzera 2016/17 is the best 2 year (b2b) high performance in CS:GO. Just for the stats: His 2016 major stats was 1.34 rating with 1.63KD, he was a +173. The second best Major performer that year was Device with 1.25 rating (0.09 worst) with 1.33KD and +71 kill diff.... Coldzera at majors in 2017 despite not winning: 1.32 rating with 1.54 KA and +126 kill diff in 15 maps. The second was tabsen but he only played 6 maps, s1mple was the next player with 10+ maps played and had a 1.29 rating and 1.40KD with +62 kill diff and 5 maps less... He was just in another league in Majors, its not that he was better performing on majors than others, he was WAY better then his peers in these 2 years at majors. But also had one of the great downfalls in performance, 3 years on HLTV rankings and 2 top 1. Probably because when he entered the tier 1 scene he was not a kid or a teenager like when niko/s1mple/zywoo/monesy/donk had they peaks. So cold had 2 great years in 2014 and 2015 but playing in Brazil and playing less games in big tournaments.
donk 2024 is an upgraded version of fer 2017, both hyper aggressive riflers, both never needing awp, both having very high impact on the team. fer could aggro lurk, be the hard entry and was the best player itw in 2017 at certain points, putting up higher numbers than cold in some tournaments. even more impressive considering he could hear like only 30% in one of his ears
The difference was peak mechanics, Donk is clearly more gifted then fer and entered the scene as a kid with 16y, Fer was already in his mid 20y on his peak years: 2016/17.
Your holiday season content is always unmatched, thank you! Bit sad tho thinking of the s1mple reflections, he desperately needs a team now to not go out with a whimper.
olof and cold werent pure riflers like getright and donk2024. They pretty often were 2nd awp and even sometimes olof was solo awping instead of jw. Calling zywoo hybrid player is little bit of a stretch. Cold and olof were real hybrid players.
s1mples 2018 (insane carry) and 2021 (the best a player has ever been, most complete) are still unmatched. But: donk has made me question how long this will stay, his 2024 already equals s1mple 2018 in matters of peak.
Is it me or is olofmeister a bit of a boring player? like u see it at the end of the game "oh wow olof has 32 kills" but u can never remember them. can u remember a single olof kill? but try guardian...u can see the flick I remember a guardian flick.
@@itsjonny1744 Because winning a lot as a team doesnt make you the best individually, to further clarify; if you weren't the sole reason you were winning a lot
The way you make these tierlists always puzzles me. Like the setup and how you choose the pictures. Just put a block of text saying the year onto each picture... similar to ranking the 1.6 majors, just put a block naming the team and the year ffs... dont make it so hard for yourself. You can literally do that in MS Paint.

s1mple 2021 is just unmatchable. I know donk just gave us a historically great year, but that year from s1mple.. sheesh.
Highest peak ever still by a country mile if you take 6 months of LAN competition, it's absolutely unbeatable. 1.45 rating. Come on.

he considered it, you can see he was on the page for a bit

2017 Fer was even better
But what about Fox?
Are you gonna do a best player list of the the csgo era? You would be the guy to do it.
Device?

Bit sad tho thinking of the s1mple reflections, he desperately needs a team now to not go out with a whimper.
I think Sh1ro 2022 should be included, he was nuts that year and the numbers are better/comparable to many of the players on the list
a top 20 tier list would be dope

add f0rest too
2016-2018 were my favorites.
s1mples 2018 (insane carry) and 2021 (the best a player has ever been, most complete) are still unmatched.
But: donk has made me question how long this will stay, his 2024 already equals s1mple 2018 in matters of peak.
I would say donk has already surpass his 2018 peak but not 2021 peak. Due to donk not having as good of a team what s1mple had in 2021.
Donk just had the best year ever at 17, keep coping losers.
would've loved to see this years donk on the tierlist as well
Or rather, where you would put him
@@agam700 i mean, he couldn't be anything other than S?
Is it me or is olofmeister a bit of a boring player?
like u see it at the end of the game
"oh wow olof has 32 kills"
but u can never remember them.
can u remember a single olof kill?
but try guardian...u can see the flick
I remember a guardian flick.
I only remember olof boost
What does the attempt percentage mean in this context?
Percentage of rounds where that player was involved in the opening kill or death
