Who Are the Best CS:GO Players in 2023?

Valorant is the perfect blend of first-person shooter and MOBA. The game was released in 2020 and quickly became a premier esport. In this article, we will look at the 5 Valorant players in the world. To watch these players compete, head to GGBET Esports!

1. Oleksandr “s1mple” Kostyliev

Oleksandr “s1mple” Kostyliev is considered by even his biggest critics to be the best CS:GO player in the world. The skilled Ukrainian plays as an AWPer for Natus Vincere and carries the team thanks to his incredible reflexes and near-perfect aiming.

 Oleksandr “s1mple” Kostyliev has $1.7 million in lifetime CS:GO tournament earnings. His biggest tournament win came at the PGL Major Stockholm 2021, where he helped Natus Vincere secure a $1 million payday!

2. Mathieu “ZywOo” Herbaut

Mathieu “ZywOo” Herbaut is one man army and is a big reason why Team Vitality is an elite CS:GO team. The French superstar has just under $600,000 in lifetime tournament winnings and has been a pro since way back in 2014. 

Incredibly Mathieu “ZywOo” Herbaut is only 22 years old, and we expect him to continue to improve. He had a strong 2022 season which included a win at the ESL Pro League Season 16 for $200,000 and a second-place finish at the BLAST Premier: Spring Finals 2022 for $85,000.

3. Nikola “NiKo” Kovač

Nikola “NiKo” Kovač is an old-school CS:GO pro from Bosnia who has been crushing tournaments since 2011! He is currently signed to G2 Esports and plays as a Rifler.

Nikola “NiKo” Kovač has $983,000 in CS:GO tournament winnings and will finally cross the $1 million mark during the 2023 season. He will be hoping to get back to his 2021 form, which saw him take G2 Esports to the finals of numerous S-Tier tournaments!

4. Abai “HObbit” Hasenov

Abai “HObbit” Hasenov is the all-time greatest CS:GO player to come out of Kazakhstan. He has lifetime tournament winnings of just over $700,000 and had an epic run at Gambit Esports. The 28-year-old now plays for Cloud9 and immediately had an impact, leading them to victory at the Intel Extreme Masters XVII – Dallas! Cloud9 has done a great job signing such a talented CS:GO player.

5. Valerii “b1t” Vakhovskyi

Valerii “b1t” Vakhovskyi is considered the successor to s1mple! The 19-year-old Ukrainian came up through the ranks at Natus Vincere, starting in their academy squad before breaking into the first team in 2020. 

Valerii “b1t” Vakhovskyi already has over $1 million in lifetime CS:GO tournament earnings, and he doesn’t look like he is slowing down anytime soon. He won the BLAST Premier: World Final 2021 for $500,000 and the BLAST Premier: Spring Finals 2022 for $200,000. We expect him to one day be the number 1 ranked CS:GO player in the world!
