Professionals haven't been active on the site since before 2012 but they still utilise HLTV to some degree, just that the activity obviously dropped the moment the HLTV forums were utilised to bait and witch-hunt - I know, I was countering it every single day back in 2015/2016...
Depends on ones perception of "fame".
"Ez4ENCE" and "Dosia sex god" actually broke into the CS:GO decorum and was mentioned on panel-desks and featured in casting of ENCE games.
Because they are probably told so by their team's pr department, I would bet my ass that a decent amount of pros have a somewhat active anonymous account
