Check out which players have been the best performers before the start of the $750.000 event.
After a month-long hiatus from competitive Counter-Strike since the conclusion of IEM Cologne in mid-July, the elite within CS:GO are now once again ready to kick start a new season. Tomorrow ESL Pro League Season 14 begins, with the prestigious tournament fielding a star-studded pool of teams, including the entire Top 15 on HLTV.org’s world ranking.
Before the opening round on Monday, we thought it would be interesting to look back and see which players ended the first-half season on a high note.
As earlier mentioned, IEM Cologne was the last event before the tournament break. An event strong Russians from NAVI won, led by their superstar player Aleksandr “s1mple” Kostyliev who posted an inhuman 1.51 rating throughout the entire event, also breaking the record for most aces in a big tournament, as he delivered no more than four aces.
s1mple has paved the way for himself towards being the best player this year, which the stats only further strengthen. Down below you'll find the best performing players for the last three months - All five will play at ESL Pro League Season 14.
