Yes, but they will choke
I doubt he can even get number 1 in his steam this year.

Depends on faze / broky himself, I believe he will improve somewhat this year, and if faze has granted a bit worse of a year, 3rd best team perhaps, worst case scenario most likely, then broky will be top 10-15 most likely yes, but I could also see him on the good scale of things getting towards top 7-8 aswell. I think broky is a bit of a question mark where he'll land this year. He's shown he's capable
I mean obviously there's a chance, for the second half of 2021 I'd argue he was the #1 player in the world

I get that it's the least likely period ever but never count s1mple out

has to be at least like 15% right?

That was one of the highest peaks of any player in the history of CS (honestly the highest), even if it was only for a few months.
Sad that it likely won't ever be replicated again by anyone.
it's likely he will have better year at least, last year was trash for him and he still did #5, with that many problems in G2.

well i think you can never count out s1mple and navi, im sure they/he will bouncce back
If G2 wins a major (very doable based on current form) with Niko main carry 2-3 mvps and a couple of evps then yes very possible. If Niko goes back to 2021 form and sustains it for even half this year with team success then it will be sure thing.

NiKo can't outperform zywoo or s1mple on a consistant basis. His late 2021 is not sustainable for a rifler. Sadly there is very little chance NiKo gets top 1. G2 has to complitely dominate the whole year, NiKo needs to win majority of MVPs and a major, and somehow I doubt that can happen. But we can only hope.
yes
nope
Of course he can.
and its about damn time.

The way its going for vitality right now there is a decent chance Zywoo won't even be in the discussion for number 1, can't be the best if you can't win an event
2 replies
Look at last year...he still got top2.
Look as s1mple in 2019 when Navi was barely top top10 team yet he was 2nd above both device and elige.
You don't need to win xyz events to be top2 or even top1 (zywoo in 2019 and 2020)
1 reply
True. And this year zywoo is in the server already. Last year he was average in the first half (average for zywoo ofc), and still got top 2.
Toxic Botko will never win #1
Realistically it won’t happen, AWPers are still massively advantaged in the ratings so it is very unlikely that none of S1mple, Shiro or Zywoo will abuse that. I’d love to see a rifler take the number one spot though, that would mean we’ll have seen a monster of a year from that player.

Yeah but it was a different meta back then, it wasn't so AWP heavy. And even then Cold was having an absolute monster of a performance over that 2 years, something we haven't really seen from a rifler since except for stints in 2021 from NiKo. In today's cs, teams pretty much live or die by their AWPers so NiKo would probably need to get back on his 2021 level and stay there consistently for the whole year, because I don't see a world where all of S1mple, Zywoo and Sh1ro drop off and allow NiKo to take the top spot. If S1mple falls then you bet Zywoo and Sh1ro will be doing everything in their power to get that number 1 spot.
I'd absolutely love to see NiKo top the year but as of now, it doesn't seem very realistic with Zywoo in the form he looks to be in. I'll start to believe when G2 starts winning more events with NiKo at the helm.
Never... niko = overrated
2 replies
Nah
Be honesty could be, its not likely but its certainly possible
Nope, at best he will he top 5, but with monesy taking over I doubt he will unless G2 wins a lot
s1mple will bounce back and be #1 again.
G2 did alright throughout 2022, few playoff appearances but bombed out early for the rest and NiKo got #5. Seems like G2 with this roster will do way better in 2023 so he could get #1 but it will be hard with the Rest of top 5 being Awpers since they have a huge impact. G2 improved a lot as a team but that means Niko will have to sacrifice some of his own play for the sake of teamplay. It will be hard getting #1 since you aren’t hard carrying anymore and playing for the team, s1mple, zywoo, sh1ro are top 3 because they’re awpers and carry their team half the time which means boosted stats
Unlikely because even if g2 play really good m0nesy will propably have better stats than him

Yeah agreed
They should lower the impact of exit and eco frags also imo
can yes
will no
LET'S GO NIKO! I AM A BELIEVER!
If G2 keep their form and win 2-3 tournaments this year, then it definitely could happen, although my guess would be m0NESY getting a higher placing than NiKo.
Ever since Hooxi joined the team m0NESY has been the second highest rated player in the scene (1.25 rating with 1.30 vs top5), only behind ZywOo (1.35 rating with 1.32 vs top5), whereas NiKo would actually be the third highest rated (1.22 rating with 1.19 vs top5)
sh1ro would have a higher rating of 1.26, but much lower vs top5 of only 1.12 and s1mple would be at 1.19 with 1.17 vs top5.
The time period being 22-08-2022 to 26-01-2023
🤓
No. It will be S1mple/Zywoo/Sh1ro
Theoretically? Yes.
Realistically? Not a chance. Not the first time we have seen him being a beast for short periods of time and then coming up short in crucial matches again and again.
since s1mple already secured his goat status and 3 times hltv #1 this year i support niko all the way. niko or s1mple both works fine for me but after all these years he deserves #1 atleast once. i want him to win just to prove people that he is the greatest rifler of all time and better than coldzera. its like messi maradona comparison. some people did not accept the fact that messi is better than maradona till he won the wc and for csgo some people doesnt accept that he is better than coldzera until he win the major and #1 spot, even though niko had better peak, consistency, better longevity. i am not saying niko is messi or anything but its similar case. so yeah i want to see niko #1 this year

Anyone who actually watches cs knows that Niko is way better than Coldzera. Coldzera was good for only 2.5 years or so but Niko's been great for 7 years running. Not to mention Niko's peak in 2021 is higher than anyone ever. And just from the eye test you can see he's better.
He doesn't need #1 to prove he's better than coldzera, but it'd be sweet if he gets it after narrowly missing out in 2017 and 2021
1 reply
i agree with everything you said but some people just doesnt shut up about 2 times #1 and 2 major mvps. when u think about it coldzera was lucky enough to be a part of the best team in the world and he didnt have to deal with peak s1mple and zywoo so nowadays its way harder to win the #1 but even though i 100 percent believe that niko is better than coldzera i might agree with people who thinks he needs to win couple of S-tier events. him winning the katowice, cologne or major is enough for me. he is the best rifler ever but when it comes to greatness he needs some trophies to prove how big he is like in any other sports. you can argue that winning trophy is a team achievement but its been 7-8 years and one way or another he should win some s tier event mvps to make it clear he is the biggest ffs
No way in this AWP meta any rifler is getting to top1...again Zywoo or S1mple this year
if he keeps this form OFC yes!
