Neo MVP of Xperia PLAY 2011

12-5-2011 20:54

Filip "Neo" Kubski has once more been given recognition by the public, his colleagues and e-sports journalists who all chose him as the MVP of Xperia PLAY 2011. The All-star lineup was also selected and, along with some veteran names, it features a player who could be named the "revelation" of the tournament and the best player of the final.

As one of the last parts of our post-event coverage, it has become traditional to select the MVP and the All-Star lineup through a couple of polls, one for the public and one for the "experts". As Xperia PLAY 2011 came to an end, we put up the nominees in this article where eventually over 4000 people left their opinion. Results from that poll will represent the public's half of the vote. The "experts" half will come from the opinions of players who participated at the event as well as e-sports journalists who we asked privately (16 journalists and 56 players).

MVP

On previous two occasions after major tournaments, the voters were not so certain about who to pick as the MVP, but this time the result has been much clearer. The Xperia PLAY's Most Valuable Player award goes to Filip "Neo" Kubski as he was voted high above the rest with a staggering 74% of the experts' votes and also never-as-high 54% of the public's votes.

This is Kubski's second MVP title in a row, as he was previously named the best at IEM5 World Championship where Frag eXecutors finished 2nd. Unlike on their previous two occasions (also 3rd at IEM5 European Finals) the team now managed to win the event, while Kubski was per usual their star player. It's safe to say that in the first three major tournaments of the year no one showed a better performance overall than him, and if he continues, he will certainly be the prime candidate for our Player of the Year award.

Statistically speaking, Kubski excelled in many areas during the event in Denmark which entirely backed up his MVP claim. Perhaps the most notable was his consistency as he played well in every match, 14 out of 14 times rated above 1.00. He particularly demonstrated that during the knockout stage of the tournament, recording a 1.31 playoff-rating, the best of all players. Additionally he was 6 times top rated in a match, was one of the best clutchers (8 rounds won 1vsX), had the most kills during the tournament (320) and the best kill-death difference (+111).

All-star lineup

The vote for the All-star lineup presented some interesting results, particularly for its last member as two players were practically even, while the rest of the lineup is filled up with the four MVP-nominees.

All-star lineup of Xperia PLAY 2011:

Filip "Neo" Kubski (Frag eXecutors)
Patrik "f0rest" Lindberg (SK Gaming)
Martin "trace" Heldt (mTw)
Karl-William "kalle" Haraldsen (RG-Esports)
Jarosław "pasha" Jarząbkowski (Frag eXecutors)

For the third major event in a row, the most frequent choice for the All-star lineup has been Filip "Neo" Kubski. Two previous times he has been at the top of both experts' and public's polls, and this time is no different as he was above the rest with 83% and 85%, respectively.

The next in line was Patrik "f0rest" Lindberg, SK Gaming's star player who finally stepped up after two mediocre tournaments and led his team to the final. He was the 2nd most frequent choice on both sides of the vote, although experts gave him much more credit (79%) than the public (63%).

The third member of the lineup is the only one who along with Kubski has been featured on both previous All-star lineups as well, Martin "trace" Heldt from mTw. As he once more carried the Danish team, this time to a shared 3rd place, Heldt's performances were recognized mostly by the experts as he was their 3rd pick (53%), while the public had him as the 5th choice with 40% of their votes.

The revelation of the tournament and its highest rated player, Karl-William "kalle" Haraldsen (1.40 rating) is the 4th member of the All-star lineup. He exploded during this event, announcing himself as a new big name on the scene while leading RG-Esports to shared 3rd place. The voters mostly agreed about his 4th place, although many weren't entirely convinced as more than half opted to chose someone else (experts gave him 49% of the votes, the public 42%).

The final member of the fictional lineup was almost impossible to decide, as Jarosław "pasha" Jarząbkowski and Christopher "GeT_RiGhT" Alesund were neck-to-neck in the poll until the very end. With less than one percentage separating them, the advantage went to the best player of the final, Jarząbkowski, as the experts gave him more credit (40%) than Alesund (31%) and he was almost there for the public too (6th with 33%).

OMG HE DID GREAT BUT NOT IN THE MOST IMPORTANT MATCHES. Furthermore it wouldn't be fair to give mvp award to player from team which didn't play the 3rd place decider... We can say both team gave up this match

when Xizt got MVP award @ IEM Europe in Kiev polish fanboys of Neo disagreed even though Xizt played a vital role in fnatic taking 1st place and huge performances on most important matches. Neo might of been MVP this tournament and some other but not always...

no im not saying it was you :) but there were several others.

2011-05-12 22:01

14 replies

However they had arguments, becouse as I remember, Xizt did play great in the final, but he wasn't so good as neo at whole tournament, so 1 match shouldn't decide (even the final). At this tournament Kubski played great not only in the final :)

2011-05-12 22:06

8 replies

Well Xizt was stable all tournament but had his most impressive in the last games. But i don't have the energy to argue about this. It's just not worth it to put your time and effort into arguing with Neo fanboys. If you guys could decide Neo would be MVP of all tournaments no matter what. Even if he didn't get a single frag all tournament :D

Yes you're right, becouse it's our mentality :D And I even wasn't thinking of arguing with you ;)

Some things can not be changed :) But actually i prefer people who say "neo is the king blablabla", than haters. Does it really hurt you that neo has so many fans ? :)

2011-05-13 16:14

You're so open-minded dude. It's terrifying.

2011-05-13 21:45

maybe

2011-05-14 15:48

You don't have to answer if you don't know what to say =)

2011-05-14 18:38

I said that maybe you're right. That's what I wanted to say =)

2011-05-14 19:45

Yeah, Xizt played good in final(motm final 4sure), Neo played good all tournament and that's why he should got mvp.

2011-05-12 22:12

That's what statistics say, but everyone has his own opinion, there's no point in arguing about that :)

2011-05-12 22:17

but FX and Neo wasn't even in the finals so. it's the important matches that counts. Not the early games.

2011-05-12 22:48

3rd place decider is also an important match I guess. Every single play off is as important as final

2011-05-13 16:16

lol. the final is the most important. don't say anything else dude.

2011-05-13 20:29

hltv.org/news/6662-video-kalle-vs-sk-gam.. I don't know about you, but i think the SK match was really important...Polish fanboy

2011-05-14 11:52

Ok, here we go 1. (Semi final) hltv.org/?pageid=188&matchid=6795&ref=de.. 2. (1/4 final) hltv.org/?pageid=188&matchid=6792&ref=de.. 3. (1/4 final) hltv.org/?pageid=188&matchid=6780&ref=de.. You're right it was very important match and RG lost it :). And I'm not hater, I really like Kalle he played great at the tournament, but I'm not the fucking fanboy and don't name like that please. Do you think 83 % experts are also fanboys ? I just told what I think, I have no problem that you think kalle was mvp - he can be for you, but calling others fanboys is so stupid

2011-05-14 15:42

polish fanboys again won! :D

2011-05-12 21:04

73% experts. I am pretty sure that in 'experts' group weren't so many Poles :)

exactly

experts are other pro player from the CS scene :)

2011-05-13 03:19

and polish scene hasn't got any pro players not from fx ;p

2011-05-13 09:31

That's why polish and proud said "...weren't so many Poles". :)

2011-05-13 13:05

Neo always!

da_beast

2011-05-12 21:05

This year is the year of the NEO

2011-05-12 21:06

imo pasha was the MVP :)...but Neo was sick all the way...and he really is in good shape this year...i hope he keep it up.

pasha was great in the final, but overall neo was better I think;p

2011-05-12 21:19

Deserved MVP Allstar team is exactly as I predicted ;)

That is really impressive even it is NEO, 14 matches and 14 times rated +1.00. GJ Filip =) W8ing for highlights ^^

totally deserved

kalle was MVP for me!

Yeah kalle was great but it's expected tha MVP is picked from the winning team.

Okay, but think that Kalle dominated the tournament and was better than the Neo.

2011-05-12 21:17

It's only your opinion.

No kalle, why kalle kurwa? Yeah he did good job! All know this. But Neo played better. You should break the barrier between poland-sweden and say "Neo was better" The difference between kalle and Neo was small as you can see in dreamteam and now it's like janusz wrote "MVP is picked from the winning team."

2011-05-12 22:20

Neo was better

And what i wrote up?

2011-05-12 23:04

Well since kalle is norwegian, it qud be a Poland vs Norway discussion but since its only swedes and polish who is having this discussion, go on :)

2011-05-13 00:08

Hahahahaha n1,n1!!!!

2011-05-13 03:35

I just said what I think! So stop being so silly.

2011-05-13 14:41

Neo was better. He is currently the best player in the world, no question about it.

2011-05-13 22:44

Yeah, I wrote it

2011-05-14 02:00

But don't you think that rating from the playoffs is far more important than this from the group stage?;d

2011-05-13 19:53

They came three / four.

2011-05-13 20:47

???

2011-05-13 22:22

O O!

2011-05-13 22:49

Not always, for example NEO was mvp at IEM 5 WC when they were 2nd.

2011-05-13 13:08

neo>all neo neo neo neo neo neo neo neo

Very well played NEO.

2011-05-12 21:09

gg.

imo MVP was kalle :))) , gj neo all year really solid play :)))

kinda shame imo cause kalle really stepped out of the shadow imo :)

2011-05-12 21:11

true, but think about all this important rounds in semi final which neo gave his team :) Kalle didn't lead his team to the final, but anyway he did great at whole tournament

2011-05-12 21:15

well an mvp i agree is some1 who's the best on the tournament and i agree it was neo for sure , but kalle imo deserved it cause he stepped up his game SO much on that tournament that he kinda deserves a reward : MVP imo :)

2011-05-12 21:32

true :)

2011-05-12 21:36

^^ glad u agree =DD

2011-05-12 21:38

compromise is necessery while comparing players :D

2011-05-12 21:47

kinda =D atleast i like u don't deny that kalle stepped up and be like some others like neo = everything :p u know what i mean ^^

i know, however I obviously think neo is the best player :))

2011-05-12 21:53

well he his i mean , he's playing great like all the time so yea .. but still ..

2011-05-12 22:05

IEM5 Neo FX runners up....

2011-05-12 21:14

NEO KING

gg neo

NIIICE NEO!!! BEST!

2011-05-12 21:13

NEO THE BEST

NEO THE BEST!

NEO KiNG

haha pasha in all star line-up , gtr out omg that was stupid

it was all-star team of this tournament, pasha played rly well @ xperia

2011-05-12 21:21

why? its based on performance, if you perform less good than another players, it doesent matter if your firt name is HeatoN and your surname is SpawN, you will be choosen by performance not by name

NEO the ONE!

2011-05-12 21:20

well deserved! NEO the best cs player in the history of counter strike.

spawn...

2011-05-12 22:13

spawn was a top player, yes, but nobody is like neo!

2011-05-12 22:33

at least spawn was comparable. I mean, he had the same "sense" for this game as Neo. they both are just extremely smart besides their cs skill and that's what makes them better than the others. but it's just my opinion ^^

2011-05-12 22:59

youtube.com/watch?v=yPEIs1q8qQc Spawn is mad. I love this action, especially that when he was aiming those 2nd guy there was full smoke.

2011-05-13 09:40

SpawN was awesome in his time. But there is no one that has ever played like Neo is playing now. He is the best ever so far no doubt.

2011-05-12 22:46

+1 2006.2011 Neo the best player !

2011-05-12 22:50

deserved.

2011-05-12 21:26

Still don't understand this percentages. Shouldn't it be 100% distributed trought all the players?

For the MVP yes, for All-Star no.

NIJO!!!!!

HI, can you tell me what's NIJO mean ? i know thats Neo , i just wonder what's nijo mean in poland ?

2011-05-13 19:27

for example; polish commentator say neo, english comm~ say nijo ;-)

2011-05-14 13:21

Neo, the only one!

2011-05-12 21:28

haha polish guys answering all the comments =P

MVP=NEO This is standard...

well deserved!! :)

2011-05-12 21:37

hoho, nice to hear it from you! :P Well deserved Filip :)

2011-05-12 21:39

2011-05-12 21:43

why only "polish" o_0?

because Neo is from Poland.

nice argument ;o

2011-05-12 22:47

gj 74% of experts.

2011-05-12 23:38

Yeah, so many polish fanboys in expert team! OMFG...

I read somewhere an interview where he talks about his family, that his parents owns a cyber...can someone know where this interview is ? Thanks

2011-05-12 21:52

this view is available only in polish version i think ;p

2011-05-12 22:45

I don't know, I know i read/viewed it so it must exist an english version. The interviewer ask him what his family think about his esport life, if they support him... I don't remember if it's a video or a text.

2011-05-13 09:59

youtube.com/watch?v=KKiaMtyDE50 i think thats it

2011-05-13 16:19

Wow ! Awesome, too bad I don't speak polish. Anyway, that wasn't it, it was a text, i remember now. But thanks !

2011-05-13 18:44

Yeeeesss!

The best Player. NEO :))))

Yeah!! :)

The best player so far

funny joke

neo the legend

imo mvp always must be player from winner team :))

2011-05-12 22:16

Well what I have come up with is that neo are truely the best player today, after him I couldn't come up with a player like him, maybe f0rest, maybe trace, but truely, FX without neo is not the best team in Poland. Credz to neo, the best player in the world. Zeus markeloff Edward starix neo, that would be something, wouldn't it ;)

2011-05-12 22:18

without his mates, neo would not be that good, they together makes perfect team

2011-05-13 11:25

even without neo they would be the best, do not forget that taz is a beast as well :D

2011-05-14 02:29

So, someone would make an mvp movie?

Stay tuned :)

oh yeah, lets watch 2-3 kills fragmovie...very interesting

2011-05-12 22:38

Neo=Messi :D

2011-05-12 22:39

more Like Giggs with skills of Messi ;)

2011-05-12 23:00

FOREST end NEO !

like someone said before.. Neo MVP, f0rest da king! nehehe

NEO ONE AND ONLY !

2011-05-12 22:58

the funny thing is that neo didint won mpv title when he deserved most (IEM EURO FINALS) I mean he deserved two last title too but he played a bit worse then in euro finals, ok I stop whining, I always knew he'll back on the top after worse last year, good job polish proud

You "can't" win the MVP award when you didn't play in the final, which so many of you Poles have said both in this news post and the poll post.

2011-05-13 11:50

yes and we poles chosen neo as mvp, you sounds like hater, you hater

I think Neo was the mvp of this event, but not IEM eu. I'm not hating Poland, get over yourself:)

2011-05-13 14:31

Of course You can, there is no rule. And I also think he deserved mvp the most in that tournament. Kalle wasn't as good in playoffs and had outstanding stats thanks to his perfromacne during 2 group stages which included much weaker teams.

2011-05-13 14:05

I don't think kalle was the MVP either. Stop looking at the flags all the time;) kalle btw was the best rated player in the semi-final against SK, out of all players(both SK's and RG's).

2011-05-13 14:27

Sorry, true, but you sounded like. Overall rating from the playoffs kalle had much worse than his rating from the group stages^ Anyways, My point is that rating during iem Europe Neo had way better rating than anyone else and had only really tough opponents on his way. ^

2011-05-13 18:49

polish onanism

2011-05-12 23:08

good!

2011-05-12 23:11

The best player ever.

2011-05-12 23:16

NEO - SIMPLY THE BEST !

2011-05-12 23:25

fully deserved!

2011-05-12 23:31

should have been kalle.

2011-05-12 23:37

haha make thread sad truth KALLE > NEO like u did with fOrest

No, since it´s false.

2011-05-13 14:47

kalle mvp of tournament. neo mvp of finals.

2011-05-12 23:47

NEO THE BEST, NEO THE BEAST!

2011-05-12 23:55

The One And Only NEO !

2011-05-12 23:56

again neo, what a legend.

2011-05-13 00:00

great performance from early begining of this year, keep going nijooo

2011-05-13 00:51

wp :)

2011-05-13 00:58

Player of the Year???? You should say.. player of all times! Neo is a legend. He is amazing!

2011-05-13 01:01

2011-05-13 01:16

f0rest and neo still on top, truly amazing. its like CPL winter 2006 when f0rest got MVP and neo got runner-up, just a flip flop 5 years later :)

2011-05-13 01:23

now GeT_RiGhT > f0rest 5 years ago f0rest > all, I agree

2011-05-13 11:29

5 years ago?? LOOOOOOOL

2011-05-13 18:13

5 years ago? not really.

2011-05-13 18:46

Do you have any link to this vote or article about that tournament?;)

neo is the best player ever played this game and friis > pasha, by far

2011-05-13 01:26

nice !

2011-05-13 03:02

config neo ?

2011-05-13 03:27

really this guy hes coming from space :)

2011-05-13 04:26

is more than clear, NEO is the best player ever

2011-05-13 05:07

OH MY GOD MY EYES ARE MELTING

2011-05-13 06:02

DE GOGGLES, DEY DO NOTHING, THE ACID IT BURNS lol

2011-05-13 07:44

After a sloppy 2010 year, neo seems to be back on his 2006-2009 shape. Good for him.

2011-05-13 06:01

best

2011-05-13 06:06

well deserved

Well deserved!

2011-05-13 07:45

Deserved! He has been consistent through out all the tournaments and has been among the best if not the best. I wonder what the Neo haters has to say now.......

2011-05-13 08:25

gz NEO u'r the best:D

2011-05-13 08:32

Neo super saiyan cs player!

2011-05-13 08:35

He's the f*cking Matrix!

2011-05-13 08:46

good clutch player! good entry fragger! good map movement! good with pistol! good with awp! Who is that sick player ? NEO-Best of all !!!

2011-05-13 08:55

Spawn/Neo/cogu, the legends of the entire CS scene 4ever.

2011-05-13 14:50

f0rest? lol

2011-05-13 18:12

neo is amazing and he is one of the best players ever.but not this tournament.kalle deserved it...(my opinion,dont punish me:P)

2011-05-13 09:32

all four guys deserved it imo, but neo just makes the difference all the time and fx won the gold, so I think it is more than justified.

2011-05-13 09:52

ok then zeus should take mvp the last tournament.navi won,he was awesome in most important matches and he is igl.but neo was...so i dont get it:D

zues would have been a great pick aswell back then for sure, yes :] there's pretty much always more than 1 guy deserving the mvp title man :P

2011-05-13 10:02

zeus* (sry)

2011-05-14 05:24

typo but yeah thanks ^^

2011-05-15 14:27

+100 another fans in fan center

2011-05-13 10:01

Good NEO :)

2011-05-13 10:11

expected :D:D i think he always take MVP on each tournament :)))) :D

2011-05-13 10:24

naice job Neo~

2011-05-13 10:46

I think this statistics will shut every Neo hater that thinks he gets MVP only because of public votes from Poland up. Congrats Neo, I hope to see you in this same form in next tournament :) deserved win for FX, deserved MVP for Neo.

2011-05-13 10:53

i would vote for minet because of his intellect & knowledge :)

2011-05-13 11:46

NEOOOOO :) nice pasha:D

2011-05-13 12:20

The kings is actually markeloff, Edward and Starix. But neo and forest best in their teams fo sho. The best team - Na`Vi(since start 2010 they're best)

2011-05-13 12:39

2011-05-13 12:40

Some true words :p

2011-05-13 12:41

will see in next tournament when fx face navi.

2011-05-13 12:56

So what about next tournament? They won all in 2010 and won versus FX 2 times in finals(IEM5 World(!!!), ICSC CIS), fx won them 1 time and for 3rd place... All watch that match, they played not on 100%(cuz for 3rd place). Actually you 're just fan of them, but get a reallity.

2011-05-13 20:48

no, I'm just watching fx matches and i see they are in good form, in ISC 7 they almost won against them, Navi had a lot of luck, so objectively i think Fx and Navi are in similar shape right now.

2011-05-13 21:05

dont get it... navi gave up 10 000$? or something like hat? dont think so

2011-05-16 08:21

Their team work are definitely the best(much because they pracc the most, or at least pracced the most), but I see f0rest and Neo as better players individually.

2011-05-13 14:34

9 replies

-100 markeloff, starix + Edward in skills better, then all from nowadays! Thats a fact. And ofc. they have crazy team-play, its SUPER-PRO CS, what do you want? :/

Personaly I think, 5 of Na`Vi very hard skilled in own skills. Thats one of their keys to win fnatic in 2010. Na`Vi players can fire in amazing level.

2011-05-13 21:01

All of them are top20 players in my book. They are of course extremely skilled players, but I still think Neo and f0rest are better.

2011-05-14 00:49

2011-05-14 02:32

-1

2011-05-14 07:34

2010 HLTV.org top20: 1) markeloff 2) GTR 3) trace 4) Edward 5) starix 6-7... f0rest, neo Lets watch in true's eyes.

Well, it was a 2010 ranking. Neo would obviously be ranked as #1 if they were doing a 2011 ranking today. I don't really get why you posted that to be honest. Kind of fail to act cool with "let's watch in true's eyes"(LOL) in the ending as well. Overall a terrible performance.

2011-05-14 13:43

Markeloff fanboy failed once again.

2011-05-14 13:49

aha, you are so smart that you think, that this rating of hltv.org tells you who the best player really is? come on, its hard to say, almost even impossible, but at this high level so many players can own top teams. nice you got no opinion and knowledge

2011-05-14 16:28

NEO dA-KinG :)

2011-05-13 12:49

Well deserved.

2011-05-13 12:53

NEO legend.

2011-05-13 12:58

yeah :D

2011-05-13 13:04

He is already player of the year, for me :)

2011-05-13 13:22

Deserved 4sure; stop spaming about "half people which voted are from Poland .." neojo :p SK gaming <3

2011-05-13 13:27

if neo wins this years title "player of the year" it will be his 2nd or 3rd ?

2011-05-13 13:50

3rd :)

2011-05-14 09:34

gratz

2011-05-13 14:07

The best Sounter Strike 1.6 Player, without doubts, Abisamad "SpawN" Mohamed!! THE LEGEND!! Neo? Taz? Markeloff? f0rest? LOW'S comparing with SpawN!!! sorry for bad english ;c

2011-05-13 14:14

Neo and f0rest > SpawN, any day

2011-05-13 14:36

imo if you writing in english bad and you are spawn psychofan, you are kid

2011-05-13 14:44

stop exaggerating. SpawN was sick, but not as stable as Neo.

2011-05-13 18:51

Edward, markeloff, NEO, f0rest, starix, MODDII > SpawN

2011-05-13 20:49

Agreed on 100p.!

2011-05-13 20:58

All player from now(markeloff, ne0, starix, Edward, forest) better then SpawN.

And where were the swedes and danes vote? xD=

2011-05-13 14:24

This is no sensation because everyone knows which cs team is the BEST on the world and who is the legendary player ... :***

2011-05-13 15:21

Markeloff from Na'Vi. Totally agree.

2011-05-13 15:27

i think neo better than mark individually but navi it navi and sry for my eng

2011-05-13 15:42

I know neo's "indivually" game better, then you 100% and I can say you markeloff, edward and starix playing better (since 2010-2011). But neo is realy good player! Love him, he is our proud! Anyway stop that fanboy-style: aka > all.

2011-05-13 20:45

WTF? Neo not better, then markeloff individually and not better then starix. IMO best player - markeloff, best aimmer - starix. NEo ofcourse very oldschool guy, but stop this flame about his game, he is not good, as in past.

2011-05-13 20:50

bullsh*t! markeloff / starix can beat neo anytime! And Edward with his gun-skills can do it too...

2011-05-13 20:51

mark, Edward > neo

overall NEO is better than markeloff, maybe with awp marik is a little better (neo's awp is pretty nice too)

2011-05-13 17:33

I rly love NEO, but markeloff and sometimes starix / Edward better then NEo and ofcourse better then f0rest. I think markeloff, Edward > neo / starix > f0rest

2011-05-13 20:43

+1 just true

agree

2011-05-13 20:54

markeloff better with awp not "a little", markeloff > neo (awp) And with rifles all players from NA`Vi can fight with all. So stop this sh^t!

2011-05-13 20:53

Hell yeah!

2011-05-13 20:57

neo does not use the weapon that often, if you watch his demos, you can see his aiming is so fast as markeloffs one

2011-05-14 02:35

Not so good, as markeloff. No one can't play with green-gun so good as markeloff do it. Thats a fact.

2011-05-14 07:32

of course markeloff is the best awper at the moment, and the most efficient one but neo is really strong with the awp, on some demos you can see how fast he is.

2011-05-14 16:30

Neo better then f0rest, but not better then markeloff and starix! mark, star > neo, forp

2011-05-13 21:10

Neo is awesome

2011-05-13 16:15

Nice Filipo :D

2011-05-13 19:26

Were it not for the match with Nex he would have above 1.1 in every match ;d

2011-05-13 19:50

I think kalle MVP, but <3 neo so GJ!

2011-05-13 20:52

markeloff - THE LEGEND! :)

2011-05-13 21:07

LEGEND ? Are u fuckin' kiddin' me ?

2011-05-13 22:26

Yes, LEGEND, as all Na`Vi players. No one team can't dominate so long time, how do it Na`Vi.

2011-05-14 07:15

so long time 0.o Are u 6 and interested in cs since 2k10 or w00t.

2011-05-14 12:26

Yeah he is one of most legendary players, why not? :/

2011-05-14 07:22

Whats your problem? Ofcourse he is legend!

2011-05-14 07:31

OMFG, so u can be a legend too. I doesn't matter if he play since 2000 or earlier. He was so lame ;x

2011-05-14 17:12

GREAT PLAYER =D

OMG, PPL! STOP THAT! Na`Vi players the best now, they are best as team and in skills. They won 40% of their titles because their SKILL! 40% - because their teamplay and 20% knowledge and work. markeloff = starix = edward = neo = f0rest

2011-05-13 20:56

I think markeloff and starix > edward, neo and f0rest! :]

Starix and markeloff but did not play on the xperia ...

2011-05-14 13:22

markeloff | starix | Edward > all

2011-05-13 21:04

+1 <3 this super-trio!

aha

IMO NAVI player are better, then rest, but Neo amazing as always! =)

2011-05-13 20:59

KING !!!!

Kalle really deserved for mvp.

2011-05-13 21:08

Filip the best as always :) Gratz ! Fx Power !!!

2011-05-13 23:01

great job neo :)

2011-05-14 03:30

Neo can fire so good, as Edward or starix or markeloff! They're on same level. But in FX only NEO, in Na`Vi 3 players(with super-amazing skills). BTW ceh9, TaZ, Zeus, kuben, pasha - very good players too. So I think: markeloff, Edward, starix, NEO > all

2011-05-14 07:21

Agree

neo = markeloff = edward = starix

2011-05-14 07:25

IMO mark, Edward, starix > neo

2011-05-14 07:30

you made my day, when neo was owning everyone(and he's doing it till today) edward, starix and markeloff were playing FFA ;o jealous german :(

2011-05-14 14:24

HAHAHAHAHAH +1

2011-05-14 16:52

Hahaha

2011-05-14 09:44

The best players - players from Na`Vi. Thats so expected and don't need to argue, cuz thats right.

Neo = markeloff = starix Edward isn't playing good like starix, markeloff or Neo..

2011-05-14 09:45

yeah i like starix. he is the one. :) IMO markeloff>neo>starix>edward>f0rest don't hate me. it's just imo.

2011-05-14 09:57

NEO best player 2011 so far 2mvp and best rating on iem

2011-05-14 11:17

markeloff>neo>get_right>starix>f0rest/edward/traceand etc

2011-05-14 11:32

markeloff ? delpan > markeloff so surely mark isn't on top.

2011-05-14 14:07

its not only about awp markeloff is really good with all guns + imo he has way higher skill than delpan. anyway delpan is sick too.

markeloff > delpan (awp) markeloff >>> delpan (rifles)

2011-05-14 15:17

markeloff always show he is better then delpan... I think you just don't like mark, but don't know why. mark > delpan

2011-05-14 15:19

pfaaaa . . . . Markeloff legendary xDDD that made my day.

2011-05-14 16:42

Can't understand what "funny things" do u found in that? He is one of best players of the best team, who dominate since 2010. TOP1 player 2010 year. What so funny? Stop spam about Neo and get a real facts...

2011-05-14 20:15

laughing? ofcourse you, stupid polish fanb0y will say "made my day" etc. cuz you hate all, except neo. yes, markeloff is legendary.

2011-05-14 20:17

that just proves that u are hater of all.... where did i type sth hating at any1? Markeloff dominated since 2010 right .... and we got 2011?? so what its a 1 year.... You cant call him legend if he plays on top for a year ... Better buy a glasses man cuz i didnt hate at any of players. And btw why ppl talk about markeloff if he didnt participated in this event Oo

2011-05-15 01:16

why not?!

2011-05-14 20:18

POLAND <3

2011-05-14 17:46

neo is amazing...

2011-05-14 18:05

16.7% of these "experts" didn't vote for Neo for the all-star team, and 51.4%(!) didn't vote for kalle. Many of them are obviously not experts in any way.

2011-05-14 20:08
