Top 20 CSGO Players of 2021:
In this article, we are going to break down the top 20 players ranked by HLTV (hltv.org) of the 2021 season. Like every season, by the start of the new year, HLTV comes up with an article ranking 20 players (1 player a day) for 20 days straight, of the season. Some will agree with this list, while others will certainly have their favorites and think that some players have been unfairly neglected. Nevertheless, we decided to present this list, because we consider it quite objective.
Here is the list:
#20 – Broky (FaZe Clan)
#19 – Elige (Team Liquid)
#18 – Ropz (FaZe Clan)
#17 – Twistzz (FaZe Clan)
#16 – Stavn (Heroic)
#15 – Kscerato (Furia)
#14 – NAF (Liquid)
#13 – BlameF (Astralis)
#12 – Hunter (G2)
#11 – Dev1ce (Ninjas in Pyjamas)

It’s a long list, however, the Top 2 is pretty much to be expected as ZyWoo and S1mple have dominated for a few years now. NiKo being 3rd is expected because he’s easily the best rifler in the world right now. ZyWoo is the closest to s1mple and the #2 place is spot on. There is no secret that S1mple is #1 in the world after all the success he’s had with Natus Vincere and the performance he’s put up on the server. Overall these rankings make sense and we can’t wait to see what the 2022 season holds!
