Where does nicoodoz fall in CS2 and CS:GO records?

The Dane produced a masterclass performance in OG's Major opener against Complexity.

OG breezed past a Håkon "⁠hallzerk⁠" Fjærli-less Complexity 13-3 on Ancient in their first match at the Austin Major — a victory decorated by an imperious display from Nico "⁠nicoodoz⁠" Tamjidi.

The 24-year-old Dane, who is playing more of a hybrid style on OG compared to his previous teams, posted a jaw-dropping 3.08 rating to set a new Major record, eclipsing Ruben "⁠RUBINO⁠" Villarroel's 3.01-rated performance against CLG at ESL One Cologne 2016.

One man show: nicoodoz decimates Complexity with 3.08-rated performance

It was the second-highest LAN rating on record since CS2 came out, only behind Adam "⁠Grizz⁠" Golden's 3.25 rating against Parkers Money Crew at Fragadelphia Kansas in June 2024.

As an aside, Sergey "⁠Ax1Le⁠" Rykhtorov technically holds the record for highest rating at 3.46, but that came in a four-round tiebreaker affair against Virtus.pro at IEM Fall 2021.

Below you can see how nicoodoz performance stacks up all-time, in CS2 only and with CS:GO factored in. We've broken down the top performances of all time into two lists because of the different rating formulas and max round settings.
