Introducing HLTV Hall of Fame

Our latest initiative aims to preserve the legacy of Counter-Strike's greats.

The illustrious history of competitive Counter-Strike should be preserved and its legends should be celebrated even after their active competitive careers end. That was our guiding thought when creating our latest initiative: the HLTV Hall of Fame by 1xBet.

We have set a short and a long-term goal for the Hall of Fame.

In the short term, the objective is to honor the legends of Counter-Strike by inducting them into the Hall of Fame during the HLTV Awards gala. We will also cover their careers through articles, videos, and special HLTV player profiles to ensure their stories are remembered.

In the long term, HLTV and 1xBet aim to create a physical space where the Hall of Fame and other iconic Counter-Strike achievements can be paid tribute to.

Starting this year, every Hall of Fame inductee will receive a Rolex watch featuring a Hall of Fame inscription on the back of the case.

Between three and five people will be inducted per year and each will receive the following:

- Induction ceremony during HLTV Awards
- Rolex watch with Hall of Fame inscription
- Special HLTV player profile
- Commemoration on the new Hall of Fame page
- Article and video about their career

It is important to note that only those who are no longer actively competing are eligible to be inducted into the Hall of Fame. Active players and coaches are not eligible for induction.

The decision on who to induct will fall on the Hall of Fame Committee. Members of the committee, the process, and nominees for the first series of induction will be revealed soon. The first group will be inducted into the HLTV Hall of Fame by 1xBet at the HLTV Awards in Belgrade, Serbia on January 11, 2025.

bro you become eligible for nomination after your career. so if you decide to become a coach after your player career, it means that your career is not over yet. once you resign from being a coach you can get into the hall of fame for your carrer achievements (as a player OR coach), which makes sense in my eyes

Bro they would definitely starts with 1.6 pros first, like SpawN, cArn. No way GeT_RighT will be inducted in the first few years. And usually they wait a few years after your retirement announcement, in case you return (like Kjaerbye, multiple retirements). If a hall of famer ever return after leaving the scene for 10 years, so what? No sports will prohibit hall of famer to return active

The article states that it's not if he's an active coach or player. So it doesn't permanently disqualify him.

I could be wrong but I assume the player HOF and Coaching HOF will be different, for example with GTR he will be eligible for the player HOF since he is retired as a player, if he begins coaching that will not affect his player HOF spot. If he then goes on to be a great coach he will not be eligible for the coaching HOF until he retires from that too.

What happens in the event of a player retiring and then coming back? Still a pretty decent chance legendary players like f0rest could return as a coach or as a player even.

If they come back as a coach then it could be like the NBA HOF where you can get in as a player and a coach.

There's like 9999 entities who do more for CS than valve. Esports orgs who always lost money for literal decades, Esports TOs the same. Players who dedicate their lives on the hopes of a life changing contract, etc etc. Valve only puts the hours for gambling addicts. Even Saudi Arabia does more for women's CS than fucking Valve, lmao.

Lmao. To me it looks like you haven't even been following cs at the times the names you listed in your post actually played. Even if we disregard the fact that you have to win shit to qualify for being a legend, for some players it was indeed very hard to win trophies due to not coming from a top cs nation (like mSx, even though he managed to solo carry emL to win WCG2007), but these players at least have to be dominant on their teams. Players like Storm, xek, prb were very average even for their teams' level. Go ahead and tell me what at least somewhat relevant tournaments people like Calippo, DaY, morf4r, naSu won or why they should be named legends.

Lmao'd at your attempt to justify a bullshit list by asking to make sure that precisely a half of players. If you want to count if these players make up a half of the list, go ahead: Calippo DAY REAL (the only player that has a potential to be considered a legend, despite the lack of winnings) prb (got his career carried by zonic and REAL) contE Lurppis naSu plastE Roman R (yes, now tell me that EPS Germany farmers or are legends) Blizzard gore (likewise, got carried by cyx pretty much entire way) morf4r xek frod (probably on par with REAL in terms of deserving a legend spot for carrying coL until the switch to sauce, despite the lack of winnings) Strom (got his entire career carried by fRoD) Rambo (eventhough a vastly underrated player) Volcano

If all of these get included, Hall of Fame wont mean much. It should really come down to just the absolute best/biggest stars/profiles in cs. For the Hall of Fame committee, it will be hard to draw the line. For me, if I was in the committee, the three first that I would induct are: HeatoN GeT_RiGhT f0rest They've not just been some of the best players of all time, but also great profiles for the community and the scene in whole. But then again, where to draw the line? For some, someone like Edward is a no brainer to include, while some might think that he just is about outside to get inducted.

imho there should be same kind of system like in Hockey hall of fame in NHL. Only players and coaches are eligible to enter as inductees after let's say 3 years after they retired from the scene. Also still waiting award for the best GM of the year.

I understand your point there, but if there, I don't mean that it would be a must rght now, but there are already examples of players that have changed to Valorant and then made comeback to cs scene. I mean if some player like s1mple would swap to Valorant for seceral years and then makes comeback to cs and then retires in CS scene, it would just feel kinda odd. Just saying that that kind of system would be worth of considering in the future.

I'd like to think anyone like employed and currently working in the CS esports space doesnt get to be in the HOF. Usually in normal sports players can get inducted as a player, then GM/Coach later on but I guess hltv doesnt want to do that.

damn the backlog is gonna take a while to get through. The only like CSGO players that might get done in the next 3-5 years is probably f0rest and maybe GTR (tho I dont remember when he actually started playing). Maybe they will have some rule where you must have won a major or one of those 1.6 'majors' to even qualify for the list.

I'd guess thet start with obvious ones from all eras, like the best known ones, and slowly introduce more and more. For example HeatoN, GeT_RiGhT, pasha, elemeNt, Ksharp could be first set etc.

well i don't disagree. It depends on how they will see the hall of fame. If they include players that contributed to the growth of counter-strike as a game, and they achieved a lot then players like hyb, medion, heaton should be included. If they include players that absolutely CHANGED the game and how it is/was played then the obvious is a) HeatoN that was the first to introduce the recoil control technique. b) kSHarp for revolutionize the AWP (quickscopes, AWP placement) in 2000 c) elemeNt d) XeqtR e) LeX (fun pick because he introduced the most abused bug, later feature, in counter-strike history (the russian walk :D :D )

This is fucking baller. While I think Valve should really be the ones doing this (since they're the regulators of the space), HLTV has been the home of CS for years so this will be fucking sick! Naturally it'll depend on who ends up inducted into the HOF, but there's so many legends that it'll be hard to make a wrong choice honestly.

They probably wait for a certain amount of time, but even if they didn't, it wouldn't be the end of the world. Michael Jordan "retired" and the Chicago Bulls retired his number just for him to rejoin the team that exact same season. He technically wasn't allowed to wear his own number until they let him do it the next season. I imagine if a situation like that ever happened in CS, that player would just be an active hall of famer rather than a retired one. They can't really take it away or anything like that.

Hello, I have been working and almost have completed a Counter-Strike timeline (at least of what I can do) for the last 6 years. It spans from 1999-2011. I have thousands of files. demos, photos, results, stats (when applicable), rosters/roster changes (on a grander scale than liquidpedia), interview clips, and much more from the years before HLTV really started covering tournaments. Some of it are things that are out there on google or the Wayback machine but a lot of things have been found through painstaking research and reaching out to people for original files. Idk if ya'll will see this but if you need any information on to be inducted players or photos from their very early days... shoot me a message on HLTV.

Please install the rule known from the NFL where a player or coach need to not have been active for five years before they can join the HoF so that 1. It is easier to get perspective on their career and a good last season won't impact the selection overly 2. That they won't unretire and become active again.
