Video: HLTV.org's Top 20 players of 2019

27-1-2020 19:19

Highlights of the players that made the Top 20 players of 2019 ranking, powered by Xtrfy and LOOT.BET, were compiled by Filip "filq" Szatkowski to create a 14-minute fragmovie.

The movie has been created for every Top 20 list in CS:GO, starting with 2013 when Christopher "⁠GeT_RiGhT⁠" Alesund was rewarded with the title of the best player amidst Ninjas in Pyjamas's dominance.

HLTV.org presents the Top20 players of 2019 video

In 2019, that title went to the 19-year-old rookie Mathieu "⁠ZywOo⁠" Herbaut, who left behind Oleksandr "⁠s1mple⁠" Kostyliev, Nicolai "⁠device⁠" Reedtz, and Jonathan "⁠EliGE⁠" Jablonowski despite their impressive years.

Click play on the video below, made by our moviemaker Filip "filq" Szatkowski, to relive the best actions from all 20 top players of the 2019:

Take a look at the Top20 players of 2019 Introduction article to find out why these players made the list and read the separate articles for more info on their careers. This year's ranking is supported by:

Xtrfy - Built on experience
LOOT.BET - Professional esports betting provider and an HLTV.org trusted partner since 2016

But we refuse to believe that the bank of justice is bankrupt. (My Lord) [laughter] (No, no) We refuse to believe that there are insufficient funds in the great vaults of opportunity of this nation. (Sure enough) And so we’ve come to cash this check (Yes), a check that will give us upon demand the riches of freedom (Yes) and the security of justice. (Yes Lord) [enthusiastic applause] We have also come to this hallowed spot (My Lord) to remind America of the fierce urgency of now. (Mhm) This is no time (My Lord) to engage in the luxury of cooling off or to take the tranquilizing drug of gradualism. [applause] (Yes, Speak on it!) Now is the time (Yes it is) to make real the promises of democracy. (My Lord) Now is the time to rise from the dark and desolate valley of segregation to the sunlit path of racial justice. Now is the time [applause] to lift our nation from the quicksands of racial injustice to the solid rock of brotherhood. Now is the time (Yes) [applause] (Now) to make justice a reality for all of God’s children.
