I think average is a little unfair, he was still an above average player
The "insane" period for him was beyond that to me, he reached a height that no other rifler in history did. What's funny, is if S1mple didn't exist this year, NiKo would have set records in terms of LAN ADR, entries, impact...
I would personally acknowledge that when making the list, but I'm a bit biased. I understand Sh1ro probably deserves #3
I agree too, I would give it to NiKo if I was making the list, but I do understand that Sh1ro has a wicked rookie year and the second most MVPs behind S1mple
It's a toss up, but I think HLTV will give it to Sh1ro because of that
I don't see NiKo being 5th tbh
NiKo would be 3rd if sh1ro didn't have so many MVPs & trophies
but NiKo has way better stats against top 5 teams than Ax1Le
1% chance it's Ax1Le 4th
