The highest rated CIS players of 2022
Three AWPers take the top three spots.
The two top AWPers from the CIS region are both placed in the top two. The only 21-year-old Dmitriy "sh1ro" Sokolov has been playing well throughout the entire 2022 year. The current Cloud9 roster managed to take their first-ever tournament win at IEM Dallas playing under the North American organization. With both Ax1Le and sh1ro playing lights during the tournament, ENCE was left with no chance in the final.
You cant talk about CIS players without also mentioning Oleksandr "s1mple" Kostyliev, The 25-year-old superstar has been playing insanely well despite his team not managing to follow up with his performance. NAVI has struggled during 2022 and has recently signed their academy player Andrii 'npl' Kukharskyi on a permanent deal for their active roster.
The other contender to the list is the young AWPer Denis "deko" Zhukov who has been the key player to 1WIN´s success during lower-teir tournaments. Despite deko playing lights out in most games, his teammates are not good enough to play high-tier CS.
