Csgo greatest players guardian — 5. LADISLAV "GUARDIAN" KOVÁCS: While GuardiaN hasn't won and will probably never win a CS:GO Major, the Slovakian AWPer was so consistently good for over half a decade, that he squeezes in at 5 over former teammate and fellow Major struggler Nikola "NiKo" Kovač.

Csgo greatest players get right — 4. CHRISTOPHER "GET_RIGHT" ALESUND: GeT_RighT gets in off of his first couple of years in CS:GO's infancy, but what a time to be alive for the Swede. The leader of a record-setting, absolute legend of a NiP lineup, GeT_RighT only won a single Major, which keeps him below our next entry. (Image credit: ESL)

Csgo greatest players coldzera — 3. MARCELO "COLDZERA" DAVID: The Brazilian sensation is proof that a short, but extremely high peak can get you places on these types of lists. Coldzera won two Majors with both MVPs to boot and was the undisputed No. 1 in the world for two years running. Worthy of our bronze medal. (Image credit: StarLadder)

Csgo greatest players s1mple — 2. OLEKSANDR "S1MPLE" KOSTYLIEV: If we were talking about the best ever, s1mple would be No. 1. Instead we are talking about greatness and that requires trophies. A Major title is still eluding the Ukrainian. Once he gets it, the top spot is pretty much reserved for him. Until then... (Image credit: StarLadder)

Csgo greatest players device — 1. NICOLAI "DEVICE" REEDTZ: The Danes reign supreme! How many times have we seen that in the past few years? Device is GuardiaN if he won more trophies. Extremely consistent at an extremely high level, four Major wins, a couple of Major MVPs. Device checks all three boxes and is thus our pick for the greatest CS:GO the game has ever seen.

CS:GO has been around since 2012 and more than enough time has passed to make a comprehensive ranking of the greatest ever players in the game's history. We tried to balance out peaks, longevity, and trophies to come up with as close to an objective top 5 as humanly possible. We'd probably fail to please most fans with our list, but hey, points for trying.
