We are approaching the halfway mark of the year with the first six months soon to be concluded. And with the first Major championship being completed as well, we have decided to take a look at the best performing individuals in CS:GO so far this year.
Despite FaZe’s supremacy and impressive wins at IEM Katowice, ESL Pro League Season 15, and PGL Major Antwerp, it’s once again NAVI’s superstar Oleksandr “s1mple” Kostyliev who’s topping the charts. Worth mentioning are ENCE’s strong rifler Lotan “Spinx” Giladi and Ismailcan “XANTARES” Dörtkardeş from Eternal Fire, who both are to be found among the Top 10.
