Raphael “cogu” Camargo, Yegor “markeloff” Markelov, and Olof “olofmeister” Kajbjer have been inducted into the HLTV Hall of Fame as the Class of 2025. The trio will be formally honored on stage during the HLTV Awards in Belgrade on January 10, 2026.
It is the second Hall of Fame class since HLTV launched the initiative, following the inaugural 2024 group featuring HeatoN, Potti, GeT_RiGhT, and f0rest.
A godlike trio
Few players shaped an entire region’s identity like cogu did in the 2000s. He is credited as one of the finest AWPers of that era, a star who helped MIBR win two CPL titles and an ESWC crown, while inspiring the next wave of Brazilian Counter-Strike that later produced names like FalleN.
markeloff’s peak is tied to NaVi’s era-defining 2010 run, where his hyper-aggressive AWP style stood out and helped push the role forward. He was named the best player in the world in 2010 and later finished third in the 2011 Top 20 ranking.
For many, olofmeister is the symbol of early CS:GO greatness. He was the driving force behind fnatic’s dominant 2015 to 2016 stretch, including a run of six trophies in a row, and he was crowned the world’s best player in 2015. His legacy also includes one of the game’s most iconic moments, earning the first ever in-game graffiti on Overpass after his famous molotov defuse at ESL One Cologne 2014.
