WCG 2011: Top players

Two weeks after the World Cyber Games 2011 had finished, we take a closer look at the top individual performers. Most of the big names that attended the tournament justified the expectations, while several new or often overlooked players also made a name for themselves. Read on to see how it all turned out and vote for the MVP and the All-Star lineup at the end of the article.

The last major Counter-Strike tournament of the year took place during the World Cyber Games in Busan, South Korea. The attendance list was lacking a lot of the world's best, as it featured only SK Gaming, ESC Gaming and Moscow Five out of the teams who had some international success throughout 2011, while on the other hand many less known teams had a chance to show what they know.

Although the tournament wasn't very competitive, since the expected three teams came out on top without facing much trouble, we still saw many good matches. In the end, ESC Gaming took the gold medals in the name of Poland for the third time in the history of the competition. The Poles also got hold of the $25,000 cheque in front of SK Gaming, while Moscow Five fought off the representative of Kazakhstan, NEXT, for the bronze.

With 125 players from 24 different countries, this was the tournament with the most nationalities represented in 2011. 64 maps were played during the four days in Korea and many different players stood out in them, including a few new names. Even though it was a difficult task to discard some of the players, in the end 19 were chosen as the most impressive and important for their teams.

Best rated players

18) Player Team KPR DPR Rating Johan 'face' Klasson SK Gaming 0.73 0.58 1.09

2 x MotM, Highest rating: 1.66 vs DTS (Quarter-final, inferno)

Johan "face" Klasson has a specific role in the SK Gaming squad, one that makes him less noticeable than his mad-fragging teammates. That perhaps resulted in him never being picked for the All-Star lineup this year despite six nominations so far, but it never affected his performance.

Although SK failed to reach first place this time, Klasson has been, just like in every other successful campaign of theirs in 2011, an important figure throughout the tournament, even though once again as their 4th best rated.

With the exception of the TyLoo encounter in the first round of playoffs, he had his moments in every other match, recording a very solid 1.10 rating in the last three stages of the tournament. His biggest influence came in the semi-final against Moscow Five, where he was top rated of the clash with a 49:33 score overall (1.26 rating).

17) Player Team KPR DPR Rating Jakub 'kuben' Gurczynski ESC Gaming 0.71 0.58 1.09

1 x MotM, Highest rating: 1.80 vs eSahara (Quarter-final, dust2)

After two medal-less campaigns at ESWC and DreamHack Winter under the name AGAiN, the Golden Five found a home in ESC Gaming and returned to winning ways in what seems to be their favorite tournament, taking their third gold at WCG.

The team's in-game leader, Jakub "kuben" Gurczynski wasn't the most instrumental part of their machinery, but his stable play contributed significantly.  In 8 of 11 maps he was rated above 1.00, while the one that made him stand out above the rest was his performance in the quarter-final against Electronic Sahara.

As ESC defeated the Frenchmen 16-9 on de_dust2 and 16-4 on de_nuke, Gurczynski was with no doubt the man-of-the-match, recording a 44:21 score (1.61 rating), as well as a highlight round in the first map.

16) Player Team KPR DPR Rating Jarosław 'pasha' Jarząbkowski ESC Gaming 0.75 0.59 1.13

2 x MotM, Highest rating: 1.93 vs Defining Stars (1/8 final, dust2)

In each of the Poles' previous title-winning campaigns, Jarosław "pasha" Jarząbkowski was their 2nd best rated player and was even nominated for MVP of e-Stars and SEC. This time he was the team's 3rd best rated with a somewhat inconsistent performance, but he stepped up when it mattered most, in the final.

In the earlier stage of the tournament, Jarząbkowski had an excellent performance in the first round of playoffs when they met the Portuguese representative Defining Stars. He impressed during the first map 16-4 win on de_dust2, having a 23:7 score (1.93 rating), later ending up second best rated of the clash overall. A couple of mediocre performances in the quarter and semi-final followed, but then in the most important match he was back.

In both map-wins for ESC in the final clash against SK Gaming, Jarząbkowski played excellent, particularly in the decider 16-14 win on de_tuscan. In that last map he was the best of all players with a 27:18 score (1.29 rating, 31% above team average), and he ended up best rated overall in the grand final (62:48 score, 1.14 rating).

Finally, even though he didn't use the AWP too often, he was one of the best at the event with it. His 55 AWP kills and 0.20 awpKPR were 5th best at the event, while 15 of those kills came in the first map of the grand final.

15) Player Team KPR DPR Rating Marcus 'Delpan' Larsson SK Gaming 0.74 0.61 1.14

1 x MotM, Highest rating: 1.87 vs DTS (Quarter-final, dust2)

SK Gaming's main AWPer Marcus "Delpan" Larsson was naturally a big factor on their way to 2nd place. Although he was generally inconsistent, he was the team's most dominant player and primary entry fragger.

His only stand-out match was in the quarter-final when SK annihilated DTS, with him as the best rated of the short clash (38:15 score, 1.71 rating). He also recorded two highlight rounds against the Ukrainians, one on de_dust2 and one on de_inferno.

His AWP was excellent per usual, having the event's highest 96 total kills and the 2nd best awpKPR of 0.32. Additionally, he was great in entry fragging, collecting 42 first kills (2nd most) and was one of the most dominant players in regard to rounds with 3 or more kills, having 18 of them.

14) Player Team KPR DPR Rating Paul-Constantin 'Wicked' Dordea IGG 0.79 0.70 1.15

2 x MotM, Highest rating: 1.82 vs FRAGGED BY (Group stage, dust2)

Romanian representatives IGG were one of the surprises of the tournament due to reaching the quarter-final, although they did do it through the easiest part of the bracket. Their best player throughout the campaign was Paul-Constantin "Wicked" Dordea, in what was his and the rest of the team's first major tournament in their careers.

Dordea started off with an excellent performance against Georgian team FRAGGED BY despite losing the match 13-17, as he had a 36:19 score (1.82 rating). After that he led IGG to a somewhat fortunate first place of the group after a 21-9 win over N38-26F from Belarus (30:18 score, 1.51 rating). Those two man-of-the-match performances made him the best rated of all players in the group stage with a 1.67 rating.

He was also the man-of-the-match during their first obstacle in the playoffs, against FiRENATION, as team's best in both map wins (66:60 score overall in 3 maps, 1.10 rating). Although after that he underperformed in their loss to NEXT, he ended up with a rating 18% higher than team's average throughout the tournament, making him the player who carried his team 2nd most. Additionally, he was one of the best riflers of the event with 0.70 rifle-kills on average.

13) Player Team KPR DPR Rating Patrik 'f0rest' Lindberg SK Gaming 0.76 0.57 1.16

2 x MotM, Highest rating: 1.82 vs DTS (Quarter-final, dust2)

The more experienced member of SK's mad-fragging super-pair, Patrik "f0rest" Lindberg, had another noteworthy display, making it his 8th appearance among an event's top players this year.

Lindberg was not the team's primary striking force on their road to 2nd place, but his quality displays against every opponent were more than helpful (overall had 3rd most total kills, 231). He had a rating above 1.00 in 9 of 12 maps, or more importantly in every best-of-three match overall, including the final. He was even top rated in the second map of that ESC clash (20:10 score, 1.50 rating), when SK evened the result with a 16-5 win on de_train.

Otherwise, he was per usual great in pistol-rounds, having the most kills in them among all players (24:14 score) and the 4th best rating.

12) Player Team KPR DPR Rating Gabriel 'FalleN' Toledo mandic 0.76 0.58 1.17

0 x MotM, Highest rating: 1.49 vs FiRENATION (Group stage, inferno)

Gabriel "FalleN" Toledo finally attended another major tournament this year after the IEM5 World Championship back in March. At that previous occasion, when his team also only reached the quarter-final same as now at WCG, he had an impressive performance as the 3rd best rated of the event.

As expected, he was again the Brazilian team's best performer with a rating 14% above their average. Although he didn't particularly excel in any match, and while their only notable opponent was Moscow Five in the quarter-final, Toledo did well during every clash with a rating above 1.00 in 5 of 6 maps. Additionally, in the close loss to the Russian team, he recorded an excellent round-winning highlight with a famas.

The most notable aspect of his performance was of course AWPing as he averaged over 10 kills per map, ending up with an impressive 0.42 awpKPR (best at the event) and 3rd most total AWP kills (72). He also did well in entry killing, as the 5th best at the event, adding to his title of best entry killer of IEM5 World Championship earlier in the year.

11) Player Team KPR DPR Rating Alexander 'xek' Zobkov Moscow Five 0.77 0.55 1.20

2 x MotM, Highest rating: 1.98 vs NEXT (3rd place decider, train)

Russian representatives Moscow Five finally brought back some medals to their country from WCG, as their teams have been returning empty handed since 2002 when M19 won the event. There were a couple of 4th place campaigns in 2005 and 2009, but this time, unlike their predecessors, Moscow Five managed to win the 3rd place decider and take home the bronze.

They achieved that thanks to great play from all of their members, with four of them having ratings above 1.20. First on the list is Alexander "xek" Zobkov who was rarely leading the charge, but he always put up a solid performance. He did end up top rated in the 16-1 trashing of NEXT on de_train in the 3rd place decider (19:2 score, 1.98 rating), and after that he also had a highlight round in the second map.

Additionally, he was the 2nd hardest to kill of all players at the event, or even first if we only look at the top four teams, with 0.55 deaths per round.

10) Player Team KPR DPR Rating Kirill 'ANGE1' Karasiow DTS 0.79 0.62 1.20

0 x MotM, Highest rating: 1.50 vs Virtus.pro (1/8 final, dust2)

DTS came into the event as Ukrainian champions to defend the trophy that Natus Vincere won last year for this Eastern European country. With high expectations in mind and a great start, especially in the first round of the playoffs where they completely overran Virtus.pro, they found themselves facing a horrible defeat to SK Gaming in the quarter-final.

Despite the sour taste at the end of the campaign, three of their players left a good overall impression thanks to the early matches. The player who is usually  considered their best, Kirill "ANGE1" Karasiow, is the first member of that trio, thanks to very good consistent play, with a rating above team's average in 5 out of 6 maps. Additionally, he was voted man-of-the-match by the fans in the Virtus.pro clash and later had a highlight round against SK Gaming.

9) Player Team KPR DPR Rating Engin 'MAJ3R' Kupeli Electronic Sahara 0.83 0.68 1.20

2 x MotM, Highest rating: 2.09 vs Executioners (1/8 final, inferno)

Electronic Sahara decided to attend the tournament with the lineup that won the qualifier before their recent changes in personnel. Moreover, they had to find a stand-in for their star player Christophe "SIXER" Xia, who was unable to attend. Despite all that, they still managed to reach the quarter-final where they were stopped by the eventual champions ESC Gaming.

Their best player in this adventure was the only standard team member among the players that traveled to Korea, Engin "MAJ3R" Kupeli. He was actually the player who carried his team the most at this tournament, as his 1.20 rating was 19% above his team's average. Also, he was not only his team's best fragger, but shared-3rd best among all players with a 0.83 KPR.

He started with a good performance in the important group stage 16-14 win over TyLoo (26:17 score, 1.31 rating), but it was in the first round of the playoffs that he left his biggest mark. Their opponents were Executioners from Indonesia and Kupeli displayed probably the best individual performance of the tournament, being top rated in both maps, ending up with a 55:27 overall score (1.73 rating).

Furthermore, he was one of the best entry killers (3rd) and pistol-round players (5th) of the event.

8) Player Team KPR DPR Rating Mihail 'Dosia' Stolyarov Moscow Five 0.79 0.56 1.21

1 x MotM, Highest rating: 1.69 vs Blood (Group stage, inferno)

The next member of Moscow Five's impressive quartet is Mihail "Dosia" Stolyarov, who made his name in the 2009 edition of WCG when he led his previous team to a then surprising fourth place.

Although he was only the team's 3rd best rated on this occasion, he was their most consistent performer with ratings above 1.00 in 9 of 10 maps. Stolyarov was voted man-of-the-match by the viewers in their first two playoff clashes, against project_kr (46:27 score, 1.42 rating) and then in a tough quarter-final win over mandic (41:33 score, 1.11 rating). He also put up a solid fight in the semi-final loss to SK Gaming, including an almost-1vs5 pistol-round highlight.

7) Player Team KPR DPR Rating Taras 'craft1k' Voitenko DTS 0.89 0.72 1.21

2 x MotM, Highest rating: 1.84 vs Virtus.pro (1/8 final, inferno)

Another DTS member that had a good overall display despite their quarter-final exit is Taras "craft1k" Voitenko. He was actually the most stable fragger of the tournament, with at least one frag in 58% of his rounds and shared-best 0.89 kills per round.

He was top rated in 2 maps, had ratings above team's average in 5 of 6 maps and was the one who put up the most fight in their disappointing loss to SK Gaming. Moreover, his most notable influence was as an entry killer, as he was by far the most successful at the event in that role (on average) with 0.19 first kills per rounds played and only 0.07 first deaths.

6) Player Team KPR DPR Rating Wiktor 'TaZ' Wojtas ESC Gaming 0.80 0.61 1.22

3 x MotM, Highest rating: 1.75 vs NEXT (Semi-final, nuke)

The second best player from the winning team ESC Gaming was Wiktor "TaZ" Wojtas, who has been in incredible form in the second half of the year, culminating in being named the MVP of SEC.

Unlike then, he ended up not being so influential in the grand final this time, but up until that match, he played brilliantly with ratings above 1.10 in all 8 of his maps. His most impressive performance came in the last obstacle before the SK Gaming encounter, when he was top rated in both semi-final maps against NEXT (50:27 score, 1.62 rating). He also had a couple of highlight rounds against the Kazakhstan representative in the first map.

Thanks to his display in that match and a very solid quarter-final performance against eSahara (where he also had a highlight round), he ended up being the third best rated in the final stages of the tournament (1.17 rating from the quarter-final onwards). Also, as usual and as demonstrated in his highlight rounds, he was one of the best riflers of the event.

5) Player Team KPR DPR Rating Eduard 'ed1k' Ivanov Moscow Five 0.82 0.61 1.22

1 x MotM, Highest rating: 1.67 vs NEXT (3rd place decider, train)

A couple of months ago, Moscow Five's leader Eduard "ed1k" Ivanov was the 4th best rated at ESWC, and this time, although second best of his team, he is again in the top5 rating-wise.

Although he didn't have any spectacular performances, he really did have a great tournament, playing well against every opponent the Russians faced with ratings above 1.00 in each best-of-three clash, including the loss to SK Gaming in the semi-final. Thanks to that he ended up with a 1.14 rating from the quarter-final onwards making him one of the best in the playoffs (6th).

4) Player Team KPR DPR Rating Alexey 'xaoc' Kucherov DTS 0.81 0.54 1.25

2 x MotM, Highest rating: 1.69 vs Virtus.pro (1/8 final, dust2)

The best rated player outside of the top three teams was surprisingly Alexey "xaoc" Kucherov from DTS. He was, just like his two already mentioned teammates, consistently useful to the team with ratings above their average in 5 of 6 maps.

In two of them he was top rated, the group opener against Defining Stars and in the second map against Virtus.pro. He was also overall best rated in that win over the Russians with an impressive 43:19 score (1.62 rating). Although he had a good fragging performance overall with 0.81 kills per round, his rating was largely increased thanks to his amazing survival skills as he was the hardest to kill of all players with 0.54 deaths per round.

3) Player Team KPR DPR Rating Christopher 'GeT_RiGhT' Alesund SK Gaming 0.83 0.57 1.27

3 x MotM, Highest rating: 2.09 vs DTS (Quarter-final, inferno)

One of the most impressive players in 2011, Christopher "GeT_RiGhT" Alesund finished of the year with another great display at World Cyber Games. He was by far best rated in 2nd place finishers SK Gaming with rating 11% above team's average. He also had the most total kills of all players at the event (252) and the best kill-death difference (+81).

Alesund was as usual the team's most consistent performer and one of event's best in that regard, with 9 out of his 12 ratings above 1.00. He was named man-of-the-match by the fans in all three playoff victories, over TyLoo, DTS and Moscow Five. He particularly impressed in both map-wins against the Chinese representative (overall 61:47 score, 1.30 rating) and in the second map against the Ukrainians (22:5 score, 2.09 rating). He was also the team's best in the grand final despite the loss to ESC with a 64:53 score (1.11 rating), resulting in an excellent 1.20 playoff-rating overall.

Finally, he stood out as the best clutcher of the tournament with 7 rounds won when left alone and in addition to that, he was as always one of the best riflers.

2) Player Team KPR DPR Rating Sergey 'Fox' Stolyarov Moscow Five 0.83 0.56 1.28

4 x MotM, Highest rating: 1.73 vs Blood (Group stage, inferno)

One of the revelations of the tournament is certainly Sergey "Fox" Stolyarov, who was surprisingly the best rated from Moscow Five. He didn't actually carry the team since they all played well, but this was definitely his career-best performance in major tournaments so far.

What made him stand out was being top rated on 4 occasions, and although he was the second best rated of the group stage (1.62 rating), three of those four maps were in the playoffs. Most importantly, he was the team's best rated in a difficult quarter-final test against Brazilians mandic (45:35, 1.18 rating) and in the match that brought them the bronze medals, against NEXT (47:24 score, 1.52 rating).

He had a couple of impressive highlight-worthy rounds with the AWP during the tournament, firstly in the group stage against Blood and then in his last map of the tournament where he had three 4-kill rounds on de_dust2 against NEXT. Overall, he was one of the best AWPers of the event recording 2nd most kills with the big green (83) and 3rd best awpKPR (0.31).

Furthermore, he was one of the best overall fraggers with 0.83 kills per round (3rd) and also had the 3rd highest kill-death difference of +75.

1) Player Team KPR DPR Rating Filip 'Neo' Kubski ESC Gaming 0.89 0.62 1.33

4 x MotM, Highest rating: 2.03 vs Virtus.pro (Group stage, dust2)

ESC Gaming's Filip "Neo" Kubski ended the year the same way as he started it, as top rated at a major event. Back in January, he led then-Frag eXecutors to a 3rd place of IEM5 European Finals with a 1.33 rating, while the MVP title slipped from his hands by a mere few percentages. Almost 11 months and 3 MVP titles later, he led ESC Gaming to WCG gold with another 1.33 rating that was an event's best, which made him only the second player this year to be top rated in two majors.

Kubski was the most consistent player of the tournament, being rated above 1.00 in 10 of 11 maps. In 4 of those he was top rated, starting with an impressive performance in the group stage opener against Virtus.pro (41:16 score, 2.03 rating). Then he was named man-of-the-match in ESC's first playoff test, versus Defining Stars (47:26 score, 1.55 rating in two maps) and had a great performance against eSahara in the quarter-final (42:25, 1.44 rating).

Most importantly, he was named man-of-the-match of the grand final against SK Gaming for playing great in both of their map-wins, overall getting a 62:58 score and a 1.12 rating. With all those great displays to show for, it is no surprise that he ended up as the best rated player in the knockout stage (1.25 playoff-rating).

Also, among the players from top3 teams he was the one who carried his team the most in the sense that his rating was 14% above ESC's average. He was also the best fragger of the tournament with 0.89 kills per round (very close 2nd in total kills, 249) and had the second best kill-death difference (+76).

Additionally, Kubski was by far the most dominant player of the tournament in regard to rounds with 3+ kills, having 23 of them, and was a tremendous entry killer with the best entry difference of +18 and second most first kills overall (42).

Note: This ranking is based on Rating (read about it here). It doesn't necessarily represent an ordered list of the best players at the event, but instead singles out the ones who played well in their matches using the formula described in the page linked above.

Honorable mention

Several players whose teams didn't make it to quarter-finals left quite an impression, but the one who really stood out among them is Kamal "Archiello" Abdukadirov from Azerbaijan's representative FiRENATION, putting up a strong claim for the revelation of the tournament with a great 1.25 rating.

Even though he attended WCG in previous years as well, his teams were never able to put up much of a fight so he was never noticed, but now FiRENATION made it to the first round of playoffs and even took the lead against IGG, eventually losing in three maps. The team ended up with 3 lost maps out of 5 played, but Abdukadirov played well on every occasion, above team's average and with more kills than deaths in every map, making him the most consistent player of the tournament.

He particularly shined in the IGG clash, as top rated in the first and third map, and also overall top rated of the match with a 73:53 score (1.25 rating).

MVP and All-Star lineup vote

In the last MVP vote of the year, we will have three candidates, one from each of the top three teams who are incidentally the three best rated players of the event.

From 3rd place finishers Moscow Five Sergey "Fox" Stolyarov was their best rated player, and while he didn't particularly carry the team since four of them had ratings above 1.20, he was one of the revelations of the tournament.

Christopher "GeT_RiGhT" Alesund earned his fifth MVP nomination this year, as he was by far SK Gaming's best during their second place campaign, while getting the most total kills of the tournament and being the best clutcher.

And finally, from the winning team ESC Gaming, the obvious choice is their main star Filip "Neo" Kubski, the best rated, the most consistent and the most dominant player of the event.

[playerpoll=23]

We will also be choosing the All-Star lineup, so go ahead and select the 5 best players of this tournament in your opinion. Whether you want it to be a realistic squad where each player would have a role or simply the 5 best performers is up to you.

Just like during our previous votes, we will be having a separate poll for "experts" only, which will later together with the public poll decide the outcome of the vote. The experts will consist of players who took part in this tournament, as well as journalists from other websites.

For more statistics from this tournament you can go here, HLTV demos can be found here. Stay tuned to HLTV.org to see who will be the MVP and who will end up in the All-Star lineup.
