Top 20 players of 2021: Down to the final three

20-1-2022 23:12

Seventeen spots on the list have been revealed — the last three will be on January 22.

The announcements of HLTV.org's annual ranking of the best players kicked off on January 3 with the release of the first article of the year, and the process is slowly coming to an end.

After more than two weeks of detailed articles about the best players, we are down to the top three which will be announced on January 22 as a part of HLTV.org's Award Show, powered by GG.BET.

Three superstars are left in the race

Following the reveal of Dmitry "⁠sh1ro⁠" Sokolov as the fourth-best player of 2021, the confirmation that Nikola "⁠NiKo⁠" Kovač, Oleksandr "⁠s1mple⁠" Kostyliev, and Mathieu "⁠ZywOo⁠" Herbaut are the three players in contention for the final spots comes as no surprise.

But what will the final order be?

but if you look closely to picture. you can see 1. s1mple 2. Niko 3. zywoo

2022-01-22 00:49

You missed my point. He was making fun of s1mple for winning as many majors as Devilwalk, while the other "god" players haven't won a single one that he doesn't have an issue with.

2022-01-21 13:40

They do if you want to prove that one specific danish sniper is better than s1mple

2022-01-21 23:01

they do, but at the point whenthey won it, not 5 years later when they are completely washed and irrelevant

2022-01-22 14:17

Actually if you count the one he won while coaching devilwalk has won more majors than s0mple

2022-01-21 09:05

Still more than ZyWho

2022-01-21 13:56

if you cant understand why Simple Zywoo and Niko are the best players you dont know the game man,or you are not watching the matches! always these guys making really good plays and are top fraggers on team! its to easy if you are watching matches to understand who is better

During the last few days of kennyS on G2, and for a short while after kennyS was benched, Niko took up primary AWPing. Unfortunately, he underperformed heavily, and soon amanek was made the AWPer. Niko is virtually irreplaceable as a rifler. He can't produce that impact with AWP - hltv.org/stats/players/3741/niko?startDa.. And that's fine. AWPing in Tier-1 pro CS is not even about mechanical skills. Other factors are more important, which take a long time to master.

2022-01-21 10:07

5 replies

I mean, i wont call this underperform he played awp after begin rifler for like 6 years in tier 1, this numbers arent even that bad and in fact are better than amanek's numbers, i think he just stood with rifle because he is undoubtly the best rifler

2022-01-21 10:13

Of course, he is arguably the GOAT rifler, for a reason. It would be a terrible waste of time and talent to make him play AWP. It's just that people should stop making comments like, "He has such good stats *even though he's rifling*", implying that he would have better stats while primary AWPing, which is quite clearly not true. There is no magic involved either - if you trained your whole life mastering something, you'd obviously be better at it than you are at other things. Same applies for high sens/low sens.

2022-01-21 10:36

Nobody is implying that he would have better stats if he was Awping. People are only saying that this is the first time a rifler has given actual awpers such a hard time and I think that makes him #2 player of this year.

2022-01-21 17:38

You're wrong. in 2019, the simple played with a rifle and took 2nd place because there was a guardian on the sniper in the navi.

2022-01-22 12:39

He was insane with the awp at faze on D2. His awping stats on d2 are in fact better than broky's lol. Niko also awped like a goat at mouse. just because of that one bad event he's a noob awper? lol

2022-01-21 12:18

Maybe u have no clue about cs Ur also a Fan of blamef and jame?

2022-01-21 09:55

man, he could choose to play with awp, but he is playing with ARs. #AWPNOTOP

2022-01-21 16:49

i’m not fan of anybody, I just adore magnificent cs:go and outstanding performances.

2022-01-21 16:50

niko is so much better than shiro as a player... look at them as individuals. shiro is just a solid awper who happened to be in the right place and right time so he got #4, niko has had a dysfunctional team pretty much all year AND he isnt an awper. with all that considered niko even outperformed shiro this year.

2022-01-21 00:16

Look you might say that Niko is better player than Sh1ro but saying about right place right time is nonsense. He didn't transfer to elite team, he together with other youngsters made this team elite. Best player in one of the best teams deserves respect!

2022-01-21 03:44

it is right place right time, gambit completely capitalized on the online era to make their name. if all the tier 1 events they won online were in the arena like usual, they would not be as successful. nothing wrong about what they did it was a great opportunity they used correctly but shiros #4 spot was boosted because of this.

2022-01-21 04:03

Partially agree, online era helped them. But the cream always rises to the top so they'd be alright anyway.

2022-01-21 10:50

and what? NiKo was able to play with awp like s1mple, zywoo and sh1ro, but he is playing with rifle? Was it forbidden for him or just awp not for everyone? I think it is so stupid to blame someone playing with awp. You are playing cs and you can buy the gun u want. Give s1mple or ZywOo rifle - they will still be top 3 players.

2022-01-21 09:13

s1mple top3 players with ak? xDDD Forgot the time of s1mple when guardian went back??

2022-01-21 12:19

it’s ez for him to play with rifle in 1 year distance. Not for 2-3 stupid months without normal teammate.

2022-01-21 16:52

People seem to get caught on this. Switching positions at top tier play is a big deal. Underperforming numbers aren’t about skill level, it’s that he has to switch roles. It’s like if you drive to work on the same road for 3 years, and then suddenly having to drive there from a location you sorta remember going to once

2022-01-22 00:55

Okay, but it's okay to bring up NiKo's ONE month when he was awping for g2?

2022-01-22 07:31

They could bring up nikos awping, but it fits the same point, not enough time passed to see if it was good or not

2022-01-22 19:21

simple then took 2nd place in the top hltv

2022-01-22 12:45

You would be wrong. Niko has higher peaks, and more impact, especially when it matters. Shiro peaks at V4, while Niko peaks at the major. Shiro falls off when in the top events, and thats just a fact, and, unsuprisingly, something that matters alot when ranking who the best is

2022-01-21 11:18

2022-01-20 23:51

2022-01-21 01:06

Overall yes, but not during the last year. Combining the team performance and personal stats, shiro was a better player last year than Niko. If we go by your logic, simple unanimously should've gotten the first place for the last 4-5 years.

2022-01-21 01:22

Narhhh ZywOo was better in 2020, S1mple really had a slump

2022-01-21 02:07

u like the baiterplaystyle?

apperently hltv does since they are most likely gi ing simple the top1

2022-01-21 01:01

It wouldn’t because it’s only ever been NiKo > sh1ro

2022-01-21 00:08

NiKo was significatntly better against top5 and top10 teams so I don't think sh1ro deserved #3

2022-01-21 00:32

True

2022-01-21 05:24

sh0r0 might have had a 0.01 higher rating but every single of the most imporant stats ie everything except k/d and or dpr niko was better in omegalol

niko > zywoo impact alone...

2022-01-21 00:29

Zywoo has better impact rating

2022-01-21 07:36

Team/game impact and an HLTV statistic are two completely different things. There is no stat to illustrate the space niko creates for his team. Essentially an entrying solo lurk that consistently finds impact kills. Zywoo is good, but if you count all of 2021- Niko had waaaaaaaaaay more impact across the year.

2022-01-21 13:43

Aahahhahahh, nt bro you have no idea what you re talking about

2022-01-21 15:02

? You simply say "you have no idea what you're talking about" without providing any logical retort. Thank fucking christ my grandparents immigrated to the USA. If this is the best level of debate you frenchies have, I dread the education system that brought you here.

2022-01-21 15:54

When someone say somzthing partially wrong you can take your time to answer but when someone say something completely retarded its boring to answer, G2 has been overall on the same level during toornaments than vitality and had hunter + niko to carry, outside of zywoo every vitality players were 1 rating or below like kyojin 0.85 rating, despite having less help from his team zywoo was able to solo won a Lan toornaments while Niko didnt win anything even with the help of hunter, vitality without zywoo is nothing While G2 without Niko could still be like last year with kennyS. ZyWoo overall has way more impact than niko on G2, without him his team is 0, G2 is not, and jackz is the bitch doing entries on G2, niko try to do it as well on some maps like inferno and zywoo does it Even more

2022-01-21 16:08

you shut his "i'M mUriCA aNd iM suPPeRioR to you" bs lol. And fact is Zywoo entries >>>> Niko's entries. Everybody can see that. Only dumb american can say that Niko is creating more space than Zywoo tbh

2022-01-21 02:08

No? You cant say "probably" here. He isnt anywhere close to being a top 4 player. And thats not even an opinion it pure facts

2022-01-22 11:48

This year i can agree, but there has been so many things going on, that it's understandable Anyone saying that Dev1ce isn't on pair with the likes of Sh1ro, if not better, should fix their bias

Agreed, I think this is epic. Btw, who you think will be #2 and #3?

You mean torzi or m0nesy aren't bold predictions?

Too obscure, nobody's ever heard of those tier 10 smucks. I'm talking real upcoming talents like B1T, mistutaa and sh1ro

Honestly, you do have a point lol

2022-01-21 02:06

Bold predictions cant have ever played in a top 20 team

2022-01-21 09:36

Here you go For those of you who like to try their hand at guessing the players in the ranking or just wonder about how it is made, here are a few crucial points to keep in mind: 1. Statistics: The ranking is heavily based on the numbers, but looking at year-long ratings alone won't tell you everything. Context is important, such as at which events players stood out and whether they performed when the stakes were highest in big playoff matches. 2. Awards: If you followed the ranking in previous years, you'll know MVPs and EVPs can make a difference. Not all accolades are born equal, however, as a big EVP (from a Major, for example) could mean more than MVP medals from smaller events. 3. Sample size: This is a ranking of the best of the best. To make it into the top 20, players have to show their worth against the best teams on a regular basis. If they haven't played at the top for long enough, the sample size is too small to judge. 4. Consistency: One of the factors in judging the players' year is their consistency, both from match to match and tournament to tournament. Although high enough peaks can make up for a lack of stability, occasional disappearances — especially in key moments and at the biggest tournaments — are likely to bring them down a notch. 5. Recency bias: While it is natural for fans to remember more from recent times, we look at an entire year's worth of performances when determining the ranking.

2022-01-21 00:57

They already spoiled all 3 S1imple is in midle, its always the 1st place + he is laughing Zywhoo to the right is always 2nd place Niko 3rd is always to the left nice now everyone knows, they dont even need this show lol...

2022-01-20 23:22

niko's stats better but 0 tournament win

2022-01-20 23:23

Niko ´s stats are miles behind s1mple and zywoo

2022-01-21 00:14

Both NiKo and zywoo are miles behind s1mple this year(u can filter the whole year and everything). As for NiKo and zywoo they are pretty much close (again u can compare). Not to mention that zywoo is baiting and NiKo is entrying.

2022-01-21 12:16

not really man sure he might be good but zywoo and s1mple gooder

2022-01-21 01:14

That’s pretty cool

Top 20 fragmovie, nice

imagine Zywoo over s1mple =)

S1mple NiKo Zywoo

yep final 3 is me me me

The picture is a leaked podium. 1. s1mple (gold) 2. NiKo (silver) 3. Zywoo (bronze) That aside, it looks like a nice program.

Nobody cares? Its all about who finishes 1st 2nd etc.

2022-01-20 23:38

i mean honestly if it's not 1 s1mple 2 ZywOo 3 NiKo none of this makes any fucking sense anymore, fun idea for a big reveal party, sadly this year it's just so predictable.

2022-01-20 23:41

Another year another top 1 for zywoo

2022-01-20 23:54

GOAT>NiKo>Zywoo

Niko Simple Zywhoo

2022-01-21 00:02

Simple Zywoo Niko Predictable, just announce it

2022-01-21 00:11

Niko should be 2nd with how he dominated using a rifle, far more impressive than an awp

2022-01-21 02:50

You forgot NiKo had to do it because his awping wasnt good.

“Had to”? Again putting up those numbers without awping is extremely impressive

2022-01-21 05:55

No since without ak he is bot with an awp

2022-01-21 07:40

You kinda should realise that knowing how to awp. Makes game completly easier for rifler when facing against sniper rifler. You know the tendencies, possibilities and know how to play certain situation. People nowadays consider being rifler an achievement over being awper, and call s1mple, zywoo awp abuser when in fact they werent awpers in the first place. More of Riflers that were able to transition, putting these numbers for niko is indeed impressive but it doesn't mean place him above the rest. When he failed his primary role he was given, he fled and said that he won't do it and Amanek should do it.

2022-01-21 14:47

deserved would be 1)S1mple 2)NiKo 3) Zywoo imo

Niko not even close to zywoo

stats

2022-01-21 00:47

yes the stats show Niko got those stats without an awp.... Way more impressive than an awp abuser

who is the awp abuser ? zywoo who got as much rifle as awp kills ?

2022-01-21 03:46

agreed

2022-01-21 02:49

2022-01-21 09:39

Is it hard to announce s1mple - ZywOo - Niko?

s1mple #1

Good job by hltv to post all 3 in one day to prevent people from spamming :)

2022-01-21 00:23

Yeah, that's a good reasoning behind the idea also. :D EDIT: Typographical error.

very unfair sh1ro played well all year... zywoo and Nik0 only woke up to the game almost at the end of the season... sh1ro in my personal top2 without a doubt.

2022-01-21 00:30

Niko DOMINNATED the world to end the year, its way more impressive to dominate as a rifler than to be good all year with an awp

There is not a single month this year where shiro had better stats than zywoo. Stop smoking right now

2022-01-21 11:38

I'm as psyched as everybody else is but I still think it would've been better for the previous years where we had no idea of the placings. It's pretty much guaranteed placements are s1mple, ZywOo and then NiKo with sh1ro being ranked 4th.

Love this 😁 Looking forward to the show!

2022-01-21 00:39

We already know simple is 1. The real issue was 2-4 with Niko shiro and zywoo.

2022-01-21 00:40

Hope they will make it like a real event for the next year. With all the 20 players and teams in an arena, and crowd. like a nba all stars with csgo games. Hope this first hltv event wont be the last, and understand their mistakes about the csgo scene

2022-01-21 01:36

isn't it obvious already who would be the last 3

I'd be so happy if NiKo is top 2 PogU

2022-01-21 01:43

yes, NiKo on the left, top 2 confirmed

2022-01-21 02:45

monkaW hopefully man. Let's see.

2022-01-21 08:24

deserves it with how he finished the year

2022-01-21 02:46

+1 but somehow I still feel sh1ro was robbed. But eh, I'm not complaining if NiKo gets #2.

2022-01-21 08:25

Instead of making fake hype why not just announce the winners and have an awards ceremony to hear from the winners, i don't know…ill still watch it but if you try to kake suspense it’ll be, as the zoomies say, cringe

millions of threads about the placement tell otherwise.

2022-01-21 02:24

You mean you are excited to see if niko or zywoo will get 2nd place? Who fuckin cares.

2022-01-21 02:35

No im not. I don't care about the top20 at all. But hltv community does obv

2022-01-21 09:16

"have an awards ceremony to hear from the winners" That is exactly what we are doing No cringe is in the plans (can't guarantee though)

2022-01-21 08:48

Im half joking, but I wish it was a bit more robust, maybe top 10 next year? Makes it a bit more exciting to watch - still looking forward to seeing the show tho

2022-01-21 14:50

huh Zywoo in top3? I thought it would be S1mple, Niko and ChrisJ

2022-01-21 02:11

Award show lol

2022-01-21 02:23

NiKo get #2 ? Pot He was a beast and still is.

2022-01-21 02:44

Honestly S1mple Niko ZywOo Only because Niko was above and beyond the best player in the world to finish the year. Not at any point was ZywOo the best player in the world all year

And still zywoo s stats are miles ahead of niko

2022-01-21 07:42

S1mple Niko ZywOo

2022-01-21 02:51

Zywuwuuuuu

2022-01-21 03:04

GOD S1MPLE

2022-01-21 03:48

Niko top1

2022-01-21 04:39

Knowing #21, #22, #23 will be far more interesting that anything that can happen with #1, #2 and #3

2022-01-21 04:51

#21 REZ #22 cadiaN #23 TeSeS/yuurih monkaHmm

I forgot about frozen

2022-01-21 05:45

Yuurih? Haha what?

2022-01-21 08:09

He had a great year just like KSCERATO

2022-01-21 08:16

Same hilarious map count as Kscerato. Shouldn't be near top 20.

2022-01-21 11:39

Well, I didn't create the ranking. If KSCERATO is top 15, yuurih can't be far behind as well.

2022-01-21 11:59

The only rifler in top 4

2022-01-21 05:36

SANJI lumber#1 <3

2022-01-21 05:46

Niko will be #2 xD

2022-01-21 06:32

NiKo top 2 ez

2022-01-21 07:18

1. s1mple 2. niko 3. zywoo

2022-01-21 07:50

s1 Ni Zy

2022-01-21 08:05

1. s1mple (doesn't require arguments) 2. ZyWho (1 MVP) 3. NiKo (0 MVP) but I'll be happy if NiKo takes 2nd place

2022-01-21 08:52

These 3 with dev1ce & f0rest are the greatest ever, can't wait to see if b1t can hold on to his form longer than these past 7 months because he could be another great player!

2022-01-21 09:01

1. s1mple obviously 2. niko 3. zyw°°

2022-01-21 09:44

Well, it won't be a big surprise...

2022-01-21 10:22

S1mple this year, has to be. although some of sh1ro performance was basically him doing outbody experiences.

2022-01-21 10:53

Nice

Just look at the photo... xDDDDD S1mple is clearly #1 at this photo, NiKo is somehow #2 (but he gonna be 3rd) and Zywoo is 3rd (gonna be 2nd)

2022-01-21 11:34

Zywoo 1.28 rating > s2mple 1.25 rating Pog godwoo top 1 letsgo

2022-01-21 11:37

are you trying to be funny or what?

2022-01-21 11:49

are you trying not to laugh or what?

2022-01-21 13:41

1. S1mple 2. Niko 3. zyWooo

2022-01-21 11:54

I think the top 3 will look like this: 1.s1mple 2.Niko 3.ZywOo

2022-01-21 12:30

Shiro was better than Zywoo this year.

2022-01-21 12:54

Everyone knows that but he has no lobby. For hltv it is not about real fair top 20. They want to sell that shit. And Niko better seller than shiro. BaitF and elige for the same reason in top 20 and last year some really weak NA players in the list. To sell it for NA scene Also reasons for zywho nr1 2020. Great story line cuz they know to create a plastic rivalry with S1mple sells better.

2022-01-21 16:39

For me, shiro is a top player and is getting closer to these top 3. These top 3 are still in different league. the only difference between them is titles. if only G2 keep winning like Navi last year, Niko stats will be higher than simple and zywoo. and the fact niko is a rifler tell you how scary he is. my prediction will be 1.simple 2.niko 3.zywoo
