Anubis is back in the Active Duty conversation, and it is a perfect time to look at who has actually delivered on the map in CS2. With the map returning to the competitive pool after a spell on the sidelines, we pulled together the highest rated Anubis performers in CS2 history to give Pley.gg readers a quick snapshot of who has excelled on it before.

Note: m0NESY’s current team is Falcons, but the Anubis sample above comes from his G2 matches.
What jumps out immediately
m0NESY sits alone at the top. A 1.37 Rating 3.0 paired with a 1.49 K/D across 39 maps is not a “hot month” statistic, it is a long stretch of dominance. With him now leading Falcons’ AWP, Anubis instantly looks like a map where one player can tilt an entire veto.
donk is right behind him, and the volume makes it even scarier. He has 46 maps on Anubis with a 1.32 rating, which suggests his impact is not limited to a specific matchup or time period. If Spirit keep leaning into the brawly mid-round style that suits him, Anubis can become one of their most dangerous comfort picks.
The top of the list also underlines how much Anubis rewards elite AWP value. ZywOo, SunPayus, sh1ro, ultimate and w0nderful all sit in the upper tier, and most of them pair strong ratings with high K/D numbers. On a map defined by mid control, long rotations and late-round saves, star AWPers have more chances to find opening picks and keep their numbers stable deep into rounds.
Consistency picks: the high volume performers
If you want the safest “this will likely translate again” names, look at the players with the biggest samples who still hold strong ratings.
XANTARES has the most maps on the entire list at 57 while still posting a 1.23 rating. Maka is close behind with 55 maps and a 1.22 rating. Those are the kind of profiles that usually survive meta changes, different team structures and shifting roles, because the baseline level stays high.
Who could benefit most from Anubis returning?
For Falcons, the storyline is obvious. Anubis has already been a playground for m0NESY statistically, and if Falcons are searching for a map that can turn into a reliable win condition, this is the one that jumps out.
For Spirit, the return adds another stage for donk to put up superstar numbers, and it gives sh1ro a map where he has historically been extremely efficient. That is a scary one-two punch for any opponent trying to remove maps in a best-of-three.
Vitality will also be happy seeing Anubis back, with ZywOo near the very top and flameZ sitting in the top 20. If the map becomes common again, it gives them another option in vetoes where their stars have already proven they can deliver.
