YEKINDAR and s1mple are levels above the rest! | Top Entry-Fraggers 2021
The powerful duo has by far been the best entry-fraggers of 2021 – Watch us break down the numbers here.
It’s extremely important and key for a CS:GO team to have a powerful player who’s an expert in smashing through a tough defence or finding vital openings while being on the CT-side – A so-called entry-fragger. His job is to open up the scoreboard in every round and to create a man-advantage for his team, which heavily increases their winning chances.
Since his breakthrough in the last year or two, Mareks "YEKINDAR" Gaļinskis has been known as one of CS:GO’s best and most powerful entry fraggers, with his aggressive playstyle and inhuman mechanical skills being a frightening sight for many pro players. Looking at the statistics, it’s clear to see that the Virtus.pro star has backed up the hype, as he tops the charts in various categories.
The Latvian rifler’s biggest rival is not surprisingly Aleksandr “s1mple” Kostyliev – The current ruler and monarch of CS:GO. Down below we’ll present you with some relevant stats and numbers, from opening kill rating to success in opening duels.
