We are slowly approaching the end of 2022 as we now have the vast majority of tournaments on the calendar behind us.
We started off the year with NAVI on top of the world ranking after a stellar 2021 season, and then it was FaZe’s turn to rule things with their dominant wins at IEM Katowice, PGL Major Antwerp, and IEM Cologne – Now it seems like the throne is up for grabs with no clear favourite.

However, who has been the best individual performers so far this year?
That is something we’ve taken a look at in this article. And by looking at the numbers, it’s no surprise that the usual suspects Oleksandr “s1mple” Kostyliev and Mathieu “ZywOo” Herbaut are to be found at the very top.
More upcoming and ‘soon-to-be’ superstars in Heroic’s Martin “stavn” Lund and Kaike “KSCERATO” Ceraro has also found their way to the Top 10.
