ax1le- hltv.org/stats/players/matches/16555/ax1.. ax1le played in gambit before youngsters. sh1ro- hltv.org/stats/players/matches/16920/sh1.. both ax1le and him are playing with gambit team since late 2020 and played against a teams like astralis navi vp complexity.. so i dont think u can count them as a rookie. if they were considered as rookies things could have been different. coldzera- even tho he won back to back top1's you have to think his rookie year started with 2015 because he literally played 72 maps against top20 teams so he cant be the one either. zywoo- back in 2018 he played 7 maps against top20 teams. i think u cant consider 7 maps as a solid argument for a start of career so unlike coldzera we have to consider his rookie season is 2019 and even though he still has lack of s tier trophies in his career we all know he won back to back top1 spots. b1t - not a single person can argue about him being the most succesful rookie of the csgo maybe even in any esports but that doesnt mean he was the best or something. he managed to get top9 but thats it. people get it through your head being third best player of the best team itw and killing people in the head more than any pro in the scene doesnt make you neither top 5 and nor better than zywoo. tldr: best rookie of the year is b1t and best rookie of all time is zywoo. sh1ro and ax1le were not in their rookie seasons.
