Best AWPer ever (Pros' perspectives)
I've launched a new feature series entitled "Pros' perspectives" where a variety of well known past and present CS pros give their answer to one of the big questions in CS history. In the first edition NEO, Zonic, Edward and 25 other names give their response to the question: Who is the best AWPer of all time?

Here are a couple of the answers:

Savage: "I wish it was me, - - but for now it should be a battle between markeloff and Delpan. The up and coming colon has a great AWP as well."

dsn: "cogu, who in his prime almost never missed a shot. He had a really good work ethic, from what I could tell, and always came to play."

You can read the opinions of all 28 pros at the link below:

markeloff won it! =P
2012-08-06 16:46:28
markeloff is markeloff. it is expected. he is the smartest player, as for me. and his talent and skill/reflexes and positions in-game are A-W-E-S-O-M-E!!!
2012-08-06 16:47:29
Well done by Markeloff
2012-08-06 16:48:04
expected victory, YEGOR :) <3
2012-08-06 16:48:35
These people obviously never played against Mehkra.
2012-08-06 16:48:52
a nonamer is stronger then top1 awp? :)
2012-08-07 15:01:38
vs bots
2012-08-07 15:21:32
Haha, my point is that Mehkra was a famous cheater in Sweden. There are alot of frags in that movie versus top mixes like AgatoN and Lemondogs (with players like SpawN, f0rest and striker) ;)

I.e. it was a joke! :-)

Now - Friis
2012-08-06 17:14:09
imo friss has good team thats why he is good awper

otherwise markleoff is better
2012-08-07 20:01:28
So markeloff's team is bad? He was 4th in team at Gamegune and Friis was always carrying in Ravens against all.
2012-08-07 20:35:49
Edward, Starix and Zeus are noobs or what?

the highlight of topic is Markeloff. :)
2012-08-06 17:20:56
trace choose markeloff but no one choose trace ... :/
2012-08-06 17:23:27
but we all know that trace is great rifler! :/
2012-08-06 17:24:11
coz, trace never choose himself as a primary awper. If there is no awper in team then only he will awp. When there was a sunde , he was an aimer. In esraels he gives an awp role to colon. In fnatic also friis and secondary is done by karrigan.

so, trace himself wants to be an aimer.
2012-08-06 17:46:05

All time ? If cogu played more it'd be him there were guys like walle,dsn,sunde,fRod(I'm sure I forgot someone). Today it is guys like markeloff,friis or delpan (He's missing lot of shots but he has amazing aggresive/risky play style). Everyone had their best era when they was best in the world. You can't simply decide one best ever, at this moment I would say friis is best awp in the world. + You can't simply match shaGuar/Ksharp era with markeloff.

This is pure opinions of PRO players. Oldschool pro players.
2012-08-06 17:44:17
After you ask all pro players about their opinion then come son and we can decide who's best.
2012-08-06 17:46:19
So we decided that Markeloff is the best. Just because the pros knowledge is better than us'.
2012-08-06 17:47:13
Okay, brb finding 10 pro players who will say that I'm best player in the world = I will become best player in the worldGG
2012-08-06 17:49:45
Not by saying, just by results AND OPINIONS.
2012-08-06 18:08:21
okay, ten pro players will tell their opinion that I'm best player in the world. Satisfied?

2012-08-06 18:21:09
"No doubt, it's Delpan. I'm not saying this because he is a good friend of mine, but because his playstyle with the AWP is so aggressive that it is good for the team to have a guy like that. I mean, having an AWP player that sits around camping the whole round and takes out two in the end of the round is not thatvaluable, as opposed to having a guy taking entries with the AWP. That's something that Delpan always did, and back in fnatic when we played well it was mostly thanksto him getting the early entry. Playing against four opponents is just as it sounds, easier than playing against five - logic!"
great talk pita

2012-08-06 18:29:09
Well... i was about to write this myself, but after reading the pros comments again i saw that lurppis already said it.

"I think cogu was the best AWPer ever, it's sad his career was cut short eventually and he had to go through CGS but thinking all the way back to 2005 when I played mibr the first time, I remember the astralis guys told us all we had to do was kill cogu and we'd win the round - unfortunately he was so good you couldn't just kill him like that. While markeloff comes close, I think cogu was more dominant overall, especially considering his teammates. Whereas markeloff has a better system built around him, it seemed like cogu ran more things in mibr, which made it all the more impressive that he could play at such a level to at times carry his team on the way to wins like ESWC 2006."

I also remember dsn comment:

Not only with the team, but also as a player you have been on the top for years. You were nominated for the "Best AWP Player of the Decade" Award some time ago, which was given to Dennis 'walle' Wallenberg in the end. What is your opinion of the outcome of this vote?
I think that there was one nominee clearly better than the others: cogu. He was simply on a level of his own almost always, missing very few shots, and he also managed to use the AWP on all maps as both CT and T, which is something not many snipers do successfully. When ins played in Fnatic he would always be very impressed with cogus AWP in practice, trying to convince us that he hadn't missed a shot in three or so maps. Obviously, he was exaggerating a bit, but truth of the matter is that cogu didn't miss many shots.


The two other players i would like to mention is Markeloff and Sunde. They where aswell some of my favorites but, for me they didn't really "change the awp" they perfected it into their playstyle and tactics. But really good awpers aswell.
2012-08-06 18:30:30
I think it's rly complicate to decide who is better, Markeloff or Cogu.

Both deserves top 1.

While, Sunde, Delpan, Walle and fr0d, still so close of the top1.

They are all legends, they are all genius.

markeloff is the most overrated player in the history

cogu is, by far, the best awp EVER
2012-08-06 23:58:10
I'd say Cogu is the most overrated player and sniper.

And markeloff proved his skills 192312412412 times. In players ranks too.

lets face the truth, he wasn't top1 awper.. and mad br fanboys are mad because of it. and they saying bullshit about one of the best players and probably the best awp ever(markeloff).

Is it GOOD?
2012-08-07 18:56:07
markeloff is the best awp player , if not the best , 4sho one ofe the best , same thing for cogu...

dunno why but fragbite doesnt load up on my ISP :/
2012-08-07 00:04:31
cool series , want to see more ( please ask markeloff , delpan and if you can cogu what's the best awper in their opinon) :D
2012-08-07 00:18:42
markeloff is not arrogant, he will never call himself as THE BEST EVER. But he certainly is... :) As so many pros mentioned.
2012-08-07 00:20:20
never said he was , hes most likely gonna say something like this :

i have alot of respect for (a good awper) , but i have no top favorite


:D
2012-08-07 01:10:00
I bet they propably would fail trying to search cogu. Many people here in Brazil tryed so much to make an interview with him, but he's too busy or don't want to do.

Moreover... my only resentment about cogu is that after his retirement he doesn't came even a single time to say at least a "hello I'm alive" to the brazilian community. Our CS community loves Cogu in CS as we love Ayrton Senna in F1, and he can't find 1 hour to make an interview? =/

Btw, love you cogu. <3
2012-08-07 01:58:47
sad :(
2012-08-07 13:30:23
1- Markeloff
2- Cogu
2012-08-07 00:24:55
id say cogu is on a level above markeloff
cant believe myself, defending cogu in front of a brazilian :D
2012-08-07 00:31:50
Skillwise markeloff is obviously better than cogu was, but i would consider a draw between then :D
2012-08-07 00:36:40
cogu had a ridicuols aim (aimbot on :D)
2012-08-07 01:10:33
Skillwise, everyone of this top5 should drawn. What I want to mean is: In a 1x1 sunde can beat Markeloff, that can beat Cogu, that can beat Delpan, that can beat Sunde... you know? In their lvl, it's just a random stuff, or a little close difference.

What they made in their respective ages and teams is what counts.

Both are insane, but cogu carried mibr alone for many years. He couldn't focus only at awp, he always had to do other stuffs ingame.
2012-08-07 01:53:06
No mate, im pretty sure that skillwise markeloff is way better than cogu, even FalleN has a better skill than cogu. Why? because CS evolved, more pracc, better tatics, better gears, more bunnyhoping and ducking, its a 70% different game than 5 years ago...

BUT, we cant consider skill as the only matter to rate then, thats why i said that markeloff is better than cogu , BUT i consider a draw between then, because we have to consider the skill level in that time, what they won, the teams they played (good or bad teammates), their achievements in history and so on...

thats why i consider a draw between then as the two best awpers ever, markeloff has better skills if you put then side by side, but in that time, the game was different, cogu played with average/bad teammates considering the current level, and achieved a lot of things even with average/good team.

maybe with fRoD/Sunde/walle close to then..
2012-08-07 05:33:18
I understand your view point, but I don't agree.

Basically you said that the new cs players are better than the old. We can't say that just cause the gameplay style changed. They don't practice more today than before, it's equal, I remember an interview with Heaton where he said "We(nip players) play counter strike all day, 24h" and we have cogu who's known as a hardworking and dedicated player.

I agree about bunnyhoping and ducking, but it don't make today players better than yesterday players.

Anyway, I got what you tryed to say.
2012-08-07 17:02:25
Ok, i respect your opnion but i really think the skill atm is way better than 5 years ago.

Watch this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0D6MeJjc_Kc
This: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1cvdWvglm5A&fea..
and then you watch this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=diHiFuPUQBo

look at the difference in speed, movement, and hard shots, markeloff and fallen are clearly faster, and probably with the same accuracy as cogu.

This is what changed in-game, if awpers are too slow, they will miss the shots, because tatics changed, movements are almost perfect, and all this stuff makes awping way harder.

And about the practice, CSDM is the difference between cogu and FalleN.
2012-08-08 03:06:25
if NEO says "markeloff" then its really marik :D

the most consistent player ever and the best AWP player of all times, gj marik
2012-08-07 00:26:07
neo said f0rest the best player, so :D
2012-08-07 20:22:36

Also part on this list is deserved by legends like LUq, cyx, KK, approx and many many others...

Every year had someone who dominated, but in my opinion for all these years best AWPer is Dennis "walle" Wallenberg.

For me the best sniper of all times was dsn , he could take 3-4 frags in 5 sec , now its very rare to see that actions ( i mean on top lvl) , his ace against mTw on de_inferno was the best awp action of all times ( only walle ace against d2x can compare to this)

Dabears

By 04 it was alot different you had

Shaguar
fr0d(wasjustbeggining)

05
Fr0d

thatguyfromJaxMoneyCrewWhoflukedtheCPL4thplace.



EURO vs AMERICA
KSHARP vs Markeloff would of been a match for the ages back in 3D prime 02-04 vs navi 10-12

Btw not to be tooooo fanboyish but mibr losing at WCG was hillarious sogamed went down for 3 hours and death threats for your own nations dumb mistake of flashbugging was hillarious. Brazillians have always been bad losers. Especially with how they've handled how mibr/g3x have died now.

Obviously ukrainians, russians and AdreN would choose markeloff as well as obviously every americans would choose fRoD/ksharp. Swedes choose swedes too... that's pointless. If they asked fnx, FalleN and KIKOOOO, obviously cogu would have 3 more votes.

Also, markeloff got more votes because he's the one that is still playing, and still on fire, the others (walle, dsn, cogu, fRoD, sunde) are retired.

This kind of "who's the best ever" is pointless and useless, there are no such thing, it depends on the moment, map, and how the player is feeling on thet exact day.

Shao is a abreviation for Shaolin, aand they are monks... please get some common knowledge first.
2012-08-13 20:22:36
I didn't choose this name because it's an abreviation of Shaolin, because it's a pro Cabal Online player

Aaaaaaand you fail.
2012-08-13 20:32:05
I fail where? shut up kid, pro Cabal player LOL wannabe.

Lul why?
2012-08-14 03:02:54
Neat. You probably should have asked the top awpers (markeloff, delpan, friis, fallen, fr0d, walle etc) as well... Would have added an extra dimension to the article.

Do you guys ever heard about Gabriel 'FaLLeN' Toledo from Brasil...? He played with almost every single successful electronic sports organization in Brasil. He's reaction time is just amazing. For me markeloff is not as skillful as fallen if you look it from relfexes and reaction time aspect. He's ingame style is so aggressive and awesome, he plays with so much passion and pleasure in his heart.

Here you'll see some frags by fallen @@

No we never heard.

Only Brazilians write the name of our country in english as BraSil.I bet you aren't bulgarian.

Btw fallen has an incredible skill, but he plays few tournaments in europe, that's why you can't say fallen is the best.

+1 cogu was awp god
2012-08-14 02:55:51
It's like people have completeley forgotten about Walle. He was unreal with the awp, and could use it in ways that just shouldn't work.
2012-08-14 02:58:45
n1 thread, markeloff is the 1 , but after all the others are very good awpers :///
2012-08-14 02:58:53
