Top 20 players of 2014: kennyS (6)

January 15th, 2015 19:20

Kenny "kennyS" Schrub displayed a very high level of play throughout 2014, but it led to little success for his teams and therefore he ended up 6th on our Top 20 players of 2014 ranking presented by Xtrfy. He was the best fragger of the year and his MVP worthy performance led Titan to win DreamHack Stockholm, while he also played superbly at Gfinity 3 and ESEA S17.

19 year old Frenchman Kenny "kennyS" Schrub started his professional career three years ago when he joined VeryGames' CS:Source squad, and he quickly rose to stardom when the switch to CS:GO came.

After initially proving to be one of the most talented players in the game, he was removed from the squad in May 2013, and he went on to look for success in LDLC and later Recursive.

After an unimpressive end to the year he ended up in 12th place on our Top 20 players of 2013 ranking, but his Recursive squad did make it to playoffs at the first major, DreamHack Winter.

At the beginning of 2014 kennyS was in for an unpleasant surprise - his teammates had decided to merge with two Clan-Mystik players, while he was left out of the process.

He wasn't teamless long though as he joined up with Clan-Mystik together with Robin "GMX" Stahmer to fill the empty spots, and their first task was qualifying for EMS One Katowice.

After some superb performances by kennyS himself, the French team secured the spot at the first major.

They ended up in a tough group in Poland, having to make it past Natus Vincere, LGB and compLexity. But despite a win over Na`Vi spurred on by a Man of the Match performance by kennyS (25:17, 7 assists, 1.20 rating, 5:0 entry score) the French side lost to compLexity two times and failed to make the playoffs.

The 18-year-old didn't excel against the North Americans, and he even somewhat disappointed in the deciding match when he got a kill in only 12 of the 28 rounds and had a 0.84 rating.

Started the year with Clan-Mystik

He was still Clan-Mystik's best player at the event with a 1.03 rating but it was definitely not the start of the year the young Frenchman wanted.

The squad then surprisingly skipped the next big event, Copenhagen Games, and attended and won a local LAN Gamers Assembly instead.

It wasn't long after that kennyS received an offer he couldn't refuse – Titan, his former team, wanted him back to replace Richard "shox" Papillon. He of course accepted and the roster from early 2013 was reformed.

Without much time to practice they went into SLTV StarSeries IX Finals. Titan had come off from two disappointing finishes in Katowice and Cph Games, so they desperately needed a good result with the new-old lineup.

And it started well, they defeated Virtus.pro 2-0 in the opening match while kennyS had a great showing (54:33, 1.32 rating). But then the surprise of the tournament, Natus Vincere, struck them down in the upper final where kennyS didn't make much impact.

He was better in the series against NiP in the consolidation final, but it was not enough to push the team to the grand final as they ended up losing map three 3-16.

kennyS finished the event as team's second best due to the poor performance against Na`Vi (1.15 rating), but nevertheless it was a good first showing for the young returnee.

Titan were much better prepared for their next event, DreamHack Summer, as it was a month and a half later, but it didn't help them a lot.

The team lost to HellRaisers in the group stage, same as in Katowice, and instead of tipping the scales to their favor, the new addition kennyS was perhaps the worst player of the match with getting a kill in only 6 of 22 rounds.

He redeemed himself in the next match against Reason, putting in a Man of the Match performance that propelled Titan to the playoffs (32:13, 2.16 rating).

kennyS' POV vs. Reason at DreamHack Summer

But as they finished second in the group, they were drawn to meet NiP already in the quarter-final. And once again despite taking a map against the Swedes, they lost and ended up eliminated from the tournament.

kennyS played well in all three maps against the Ninjas, and was even the Man of the Match of the one they won (24:12, 1.50 rating, POV).

He ended up being the second highest rated player of the tournament with a 1.35 rating, but it was to no avail as Titan had a short campaign.

Efforts at DH Summer were fruitless

The next task for Titan was to qualify for the second major of the year, and once again kennyS helped his team do that with out-of-this-wordly numbers in the online qualifier.

In the meantime Titan had fallen down to 9th place in our July world ranking, the lowest in the team's CS:GO history.

Gfinity 3 provided a chance for them to show their worth before traveling to Cologne, and they took it. Despite losing to dignitas in the opening match, Titan went on to reach the grand final where they were stopped by Virtus.pro.

kennyS's play was of course one of the main reasons for their success, as he was the Man of the Match on no less than 6 of their 12 maps.

He started off in the group stage with near perfect play at the end of the clash with Virtus.pro, including a 1-on-3 clutch to tie the game (33:14, 1.65 rating, 21 AWP kills, POV). He also played amazingly in wins over fm-eSports (25:6, 2.05 rating) and mousesports (23:7, 1.95 rating, POV) which led Titan to finish second in their group.

1-on-3 clutch to tie the match against Virtus.pro at Gfinity 3

He continued his highlight reel in the quarter-final against iBUYPOWER with another superb display on the second map (30:15, 1.79 rating, POV) and in the semi-final in both map wins against fnatic – 23:8 (1.74 rating, POV) and 28:17 (1.57 rating, POV).

However, he couldn't keep the level up in the final against Virtus.pro, but was still one of the team's best players in the 0-2 loss.

In the end he had a 1.31 rating and was of course one of the most impressive players of the tournament while Titan showed they still have it in them to go far in tournaments.

It was a good showing ahead of ESL One Cologne, but at the big event they once again disappointed. They lost a double overtime clash against Cloud9 at the start, and after getting a 16-1 win over Vox Eminor, the Frenchmen suffered a devastating loss with the same result against dignitas, failing to reach the playoffs.

kennyS had a solid showing against Cloud9 and a Man of the Match performance against the Australians (26:6, 2.32 rating, POV), but in the deciding match against dignitas he was nowhere to be found – scoring only 4 kills and not making any impact in 14 of the 17 rounds.

kennyS had to pack up early at another major

After their second failure at a major Titan and the team's leader Kévin "Ex6TenZ" Droolans decided it was time for a change. This time, however, kennyS remained as the piece to build around while three new players were added from LDLC – Dan "apEX" Madesclaire, Hovik "KQLY" Tovmassian and Mathieu "Maniac" Quiquerez.

DreamHack Stockholm was the first event for the new squad, and it looked like they made the right move. Despite a loss to LDLC in the group stage, Titan defeated NiP, then fnatic in the semi-final and in the end got revenge on the French rivals in the grand final.

kennyS won his first and only title of the year, and was without a doubt the MVP of the tournament. He put in several Man of the Match performances, most importantly against NiP in the group (24:16, 1.24 rating, match-winning clutch, VOD) and in the second map of the final against LDLC (30:23, 1.27 rating, 22 AWP kills, VOD).

DreamHack Stockholm #2 champions

He finished with the event's highest 1.35 rating, an incredible 0.51 AWP kills per round and the most entry kills (30 total, 0.16 per round).

A month later at their second event, the new Titan didn't have such a good showing. LDLC demolished them in the upper bracket final, and then they even fell to Natus Vincere to finish in 3rd place.

kennyS was still by far the team's best player with a 1.10 rating, but even he was very ineffective in the match versus the local rivals.

But the event that mattered more to them was ESWC a few weeks later, and they came into it on the wings of two victories against LDLC in the French qualifier.

It all looked well after group stage, despite a loss to HellRaisers, as they came out in 2nd place following a dominant 16-1 win over NiP.

kennyS was per usual one of the team's best in every match, especially in the big win over the Swedes when he had a 25:6 score (2.20 rating, 7 assists, 17 AWP kills, 9:0 entry score).

kennyS' POV vs. NiP at ESWC

However, he couldn't get himself going when it mattered even more, in the quarter-final where he recorded a kill in 21 of 49 rounds, while the team fell to their new big rivals LDLC.

The team then turned their full focus to the last major of the year, DreamHack Winter. However, when it was only a few days left until the event they were hit by horrifying news of one of their star players, KQLY, receiving a VAC-ban.

Subsequently they were removed from the big tournament and weren't allowed to re-qualify with a new roster, leaving the team in despair.

As the major passed and others competed for glory, kennyS and co. decided to focus on preparing for ESEA Season 17 Global Finals, as they were allowed to participate with their coach-analyst Jeremy "ioRek" Vuillermet.

But despite kennyS's historic efforts of a 1.41 rating and 0.96 kills per round in the tournament, they only made it to 5th-6th place. He was still the best player of every series, including the win over Denial (75:42, 1.69 rating) as well as losses to fnatic and iBUYPOWER but it wasn't enough to push the team any further.

At the very end of 2014, kennyS traveled with the French national team to Serbia for the European Championship Finals, and came home with the trophy after leading the team with another MVP performance.

Why is he the 6th best player of 2014?

Individually Kenny "kennyS" Schrub was by far the most impressive player of the year, but on the other hand his great play led to barely any achievements.

His list of top three places is only four rows long – first place at DreamHack Stockholm, second place at Gfinity 3 and two third places at SLTV StarSeries IX and XI.

He made no impact at the majors and despite having good numbers to show from those events, he didn't play well in Clan-Mystik or Titan's deciding matches in Katowice and Cologne.

But nevertheless, he was the best player in his teams throughout the whole year and he played well at every event he attended. His peaks were at Gfinity 3 where he dominated on the way to the final and DreamHack Stockholm, which he crowned with an MVP performance. Furthermore, his play at ESEA Season 17 Finals was one of the best individual displays of the year.

kennyS had impressive stats but they didn't lead to much success

Overall he ended up topping the charts in many categories – he was the best fragger of the year with 0.86 kills per round, he had the most AWP kills per round (0.44), had the highest T side rating (1.15), highest success in entry duels (61%) and the most T-side entry kills (0.13 per round).

However, none of that was enough to push him higher in the ranking as it didn't lead to much success, while his best performances were at relatively smaller events. His play at the majors and the glaring underperformances in key matches there also didn't help.

But he did have more than enough impressive tournaments to get to the 6th place overall, namely DreamHack Stockholm, Gfinity 3, DreamHack Summer, ESWC and ESEA S17.

What is your take on Kenny "kennyS" Schrub's performance in 2014? Is the 6th place the right one for him?

i dont even know what that shit flag is tho :\ was this suppose to rile me up? i mean thats not a very trollish way to do. create a new account just to type stfu? not very witty. and a hassle. and a waste of valuable time.

2015-01-16 15:14

he only won DH Stockholm this year... with KQLY so yeah he really deserves #1.. hahahah what a joke!

2015-01-15 19:26

He maybe not deserve #1 but as a player he deserves the #1 carrier of the years since he carried every single team he is in (Clan-mystik, Titan, France(LAN)).

2015-01-15 19:32

they make the list from teamplays or individual plays ? O.o

2015-01-15 19:32

if you read the post maybe you will understand :)

2015-01-15 19:35

i don't understand who create this top second most kills per round - apEX 15-th (0.80) most kills per round (0.86) kennyS only 6-th wtf is this my top 1 kennyS 2 f0rest 3 shox 4 apEX 5 flusha

2015-01-15 19:34

how much skins did u lost?:D

2015-01-15 19:35

alot but on another teams (nonames)

2015-01-15 19:37

how is someone who didn't win anything top 1? GTR shouldn't be this high, tho.

2015-01-15 19:37

ronaldo win nothink but got title " best player of 2013-2014" probably win something but not world champ (i didn't football fan tell me if i wrong alot) shox win last tournoment but only 8-th forest got 1-2 placed on all major events IMO forest > gtr cuz didn't sprey alot

2015-01-15 19:42

Ronado actually won Champions League with Real this year! :)

2015-01-15 19:48

they won Champions League he broke several records. World Cup is hard to win as a portuguese. Messi hasn't wont it either ^^ I agree that f0rest and shox should be higher but I do not think GTR deserves top 5 nor do I think kennyS should be higher than 6.

2015-01-15 19:49

Anyway, the best player in the world is Alexandre Lacazette

2015-01-16 15:57

+1 get deserves it

2015-01-15 19:45

its about personal stats, not team records

2015-01-15 19:52

its also about how do you leas the team to Windows, and kennyS won nothing.

2015-01-19 10:02

he didnt show his skills in any major final cause he didnt menage to be in final.. you can be the best in 100m sprint in your vilage, but who care if you wont show it in olympiad..

2015-01-15 21:08

Why is he the 6th best player of 2014? Individually Kenny "kennyS" Schrub was by far the most impressive player of the year, but on the other hand his great play led to barely any achievements.

2015-01-16 02:02

+1 #1 rating on 3 main maps but not #1 player? ridiculous

2015-01-16 04:05

I agree, and don't really understand the criteria of what world rank the players get this time. It is obviously not individual play since KennyS or shox should've been top1 then, both finishing outside of top5. And it does not seem to be teamplay and success since players like Happy and Friberg did not finish higher than they did. It feels like they rank JW and Flusha top5 just to bug with fnatic-haters (I do not have all the stats and numbers but fnatic couldn't have been very much more successful than NiP?). Realistic top5: 1st Shox 2nd GeT_RiGhT 3rd KennyS 4th Happy 5th JW

2015-01-16 07:53

Pasha doesn't really have to be in top 20 at all. I like him but yeah, it is possible.

2015-01-15 20:33

Pasha will not even be in this top20 most likely

2015-01-15 20:39

Oh god.......

2015-01-16 05:59

Why is he the 6th best player of 2014? section skip incoming

2015-01-15 19:31

THose reasons are shitty.

2015-01-15 19:39

But then it has nothing to do with who the top players in 2014 are if the reason is simply that he has been on bad teams that never won anything important..

2015-01-15 19:47

I would say it's probably a delicate mix between the collective achievements a player has helped sculpt for his team and individual play style and rating. There are plenty of ESEA pug stars who could run over some of these top 20 players on a good day, but it wouldn't put them on this list. Of course all lists are entirely subjective as well, since a list by essence attempts to categorise and enumerate a seemingly infinite range of variables into an ordered hierarchy. It's a dull read and not related to this article, but Umberto Eco's The Infinity of Lists is really good for this subject.

2015-01-15 20:06

True that's it's a mix, but don't you think HLTV are overestimating the importance of 'team success' in this ranking? I mean, just look at the first picture in this article: Best player on dd2 Best player on inferno Best player on mirage Best player on T side Highest success rate in entry duels Most AWP kills per round Most kills per round ...

2015-01-15 20:41

CSGO is a collective game. Individual stats doesn't necessarily makes you reach the top of the podium, as proved with kennyS. HLTV ranking is based on individual performance yes but playing big in big matches aka playoffs counts more than playing big in group stage. kennyS didn't had many chances of proving himself in such situations hence his placing in the ranking. Making him top1 would be an abominable anomaly. if only Titan had participated Dreamhack Winter and reached at least semis apEx and kennyS would be figure higher in the rank for sure. speaking of Titan, I'm curious to see KQLY condensed stats. I'm sure he would be listed in the top10 tier.

2015-01-15 21:41

No doubt he shouldn't have been #1, but surely he deserves top 5? I mean, his direct competitor, JW will now receive a higher rank, even though kenny has outperformed him in almost all aspects.

2015-01-16 00:50

Not to deflect the question, but just so you know I haven't taken part in making these rankings, though of course I stand by them. In general, I find player rankings to be too much of a pseudo popularity contest, bringing fanboys and people who just want to yell out to the front. No doubt kennys has had a massive impact on the game; if it were left to me, I would have maybe bracketed him with a [4-6] ranking, though that of course defeats the purpose of a "top" 20

2015-01-16 02:51

+1 Dont you think,this affects the minds of players ?

2015-01-16 04:58

The way I see it, even though esports is still a fledgling industry, it's big enough that the pro players have in a sense entered the "public sphere" as known personalities/celebrities. People who are in the public sphere shouldn't be affected by either rankings or what people say about them on the internet, they are 100% focused to be professionals and play their best possible game.

2015-01-16 06:45

Well,i somewhat disagree. Agreed,it is a fledging industry. But you see in out what these(atleast some of them) 17 yrs pro players behave immaturely. So IMO Professionalism is by far from being there in the current scene. To be fair with those 17-20 yr old players,they are growing.Immaturity will be there

2015-01-16 11:24

Very good response and I respect your opinion!

2015-01-16 18:07

2015-01-16 21:11

Highest rating =/= best player

2015-01-16 06:00

2015-01-15 20:07

BUT it is said in the Why is he the 6th best player of 2014? section that he (KennyS) DID NOT do well in those deciding maps! And that really means ALOT. If he had done well, they maybe could have done better on those tournaments at the end. But he didn't and doesn't deserve first spot. Best players in any team sports need support to be the best and most successful. So results are important.

2015-01-15 21:33

You could also say that with his amazing stats he was let down by his teammates. If they had performed better they could have won more titles. Why should Kenny have to play amazingly well in every game. He's only human.

2015-01-16 12:14

fck dat shit... top1....(

Well, he was amazing as an individual player last year, no doubt, but he barely won anything with his team.

2015-01-15 19:31

notice how it's top 20 players of 2014. Not top 20 teams

2015-01-15 19:47

Being the best player in a 5 person game means you have the skill level capable of carrying your team to victories (like Snax, pasza, shox, jw, flusha, olofmeister & ScreaM have done). kennyS hasn't, yet, but with RpK in the lineup Titan are only going up

2015-01-15 19:54

2015-01-15 22:38

shox and ex6 have a better hair rating than scream

2015-01-15 23:43

guess why titan was able to compete with other teams?

2015-01-15 20:25

You can clearly see that he has a massive impact to their teams doing well. If he has an under performance his team does badly. Also he is king in entry fragging/opneing up sites. It's not just the high amount of frags, he clearly has a big gameimpact and carried his team as much as he could. But a team doesn't consist of one player.

2015-01-16 08:23

ye but this is the top player list, not top team.

2015-01-15 19:48

easy when you're never in big matches like all the other top players

2015-01-15 20:14

Deserved? No.

2015-01-15 19:20

2015-01-15 19:25

personal stats wise = no team results wise = yes

2015-01-15 19:31

TOP 20 PLAYERS OF THE YEAR team doesnt fucking matter omg wtf

2015-01-15 20:43

it does tho... If a player in Austrian football league would score 120 goals in a single season and both messi + ronaldo wouldn't score more than that, Balon D'Or or "best player eu award" would still go to someone else because A) they're playing for the better team/league therefore the other players played more matches vs better teams compared to the austrian league and B) because the other players have gotten better cups (champions league, world cup, european cups etc.)!

2015-01-15 20:58

KennyS has played against the same teams as the rest of EU teams though. Can't be compared to Austrian football :L

2015-01-15 19:21

HLTV OMG H8 SO MUCH

2015-01-15 19:21

omg

2015-01-15 19:21

Let the fanboys rage!

2015-01-15 19:21

Are they really going to put JW and flusha above KennyS and fOrest?

2015-01-15 19:21

Obviously.. they have won more. It's not all about the skill of the players, otherwise ScreaM would be in the top 10 lol.

2015-01-15 19:22

2015-01-15 19:25

So pronax should be in top 5 as well?

2015-01-15 19:26

" not ALL about the skill "

2015-01-15 19:27

If it is not ALL about the skill he has won the same as JW and his tactical decision is impeccable...

2015-01-15 19:29

So? His rating is still bad.

2015-01-15 19:31

yeah, and rating is what hltv values here

2015-01-15 19:31

apparantly not you nuthead

2015-01-15 19:37

Not only rating.

2015-01-15 19:37

ofc not only

2015-01-15 19:42

His rating is fucking best last year you twit.

2015-01-15 19:40

We are talking about pronax..

2015-01-15 20:15

Its an individual list, not team.

2015-01-15 19:26

No shit, but helping your team win events while playing good is what counts the most.

2015-01-15 19:28

How much more than 30 bombing every map can a player do if his teammates are bad? ROFL

2015-01-15 19:48

+30

2015-01-15 19:55

Exactly. This list seems to be based more on teams rather than individual players

2015-01-15 20:36

2015-01-15 19:31

JW and flusha both deserves to be above f0rest and I'd still put flusha above kennyS because he played insanely this year and won way more.

2015-01-15 19:35

ahahah you serious

2015-01-15 19:21

What now KennyS fanbois? :>

2015-01-15 19:21

well, he has the best individual stats, so he's still the number one the problem is that he has shitty team

2015-01-15 19:26

Yea but most ppl don't get it :D

2015-01-15 19:27

Because its Top 20 PLAYERS.

2015-01-15 21:44

pasha > kennyS. rofl

2015-01-15 19:21

pasha IEM = kennyS once month ago

2015-01-15 19:52

is someone actually reading all that? LOL

2015-01-15 19:21

You can tell by the comments that they are not.

2015-01-15 19:22

I read

2015-01-15 19:24

"Underperforming in big matches" Tgwri1s is obviously kappaing

2015-01-15 19:33

Read it. Still think he is too high on the list.

2015-01-15 19:44

You guys really need to change the way your comments are submitted. This place is friggin cancer.

2015-01-15 21:34

expected

2015-01-15 19:21

Hehe, so much for the first place, baguettes.

2015-01-15 19:21

Edward #5

2015-01-15 19:22

gtr top5 wtf is wrong with this ranking

2015-01-15 19:22

If you look through the whole year, yes he is in top5. imo kennys should have been in top5 as well, but this is probably because he was in the wrong team or the team didn't get far enough in majors etc.

2015-01-15 19:25

2015-01-15 19:24

Confirmed.. List made by sweeds.

2015-01-15 20:19

noouuuhh gtr should have been #6 BibleThump

2015-01-15 19:22

Y U NO 1?!

2015-01-15 19:22

SRSLY 6 PLACE ?

2015-01-15 19:22

LMFAO PASHA > KENNYS > FOREST > SHOX KDENNNNNNNN

2015-01-15 19:22

pasha will not be in this top lmao

2015-01-15 19:23

2015-01-15 19:26

2015-01-15 20:21

2015-01-15 21:55

2015-01-15 19:29

2015-01-15 19:36

kittyplaygames is ugly ;(

2015-01-15 19:53

kennyS underrated..

2015-01-15 19:22

kennys good but not best (jw best)

2015-01-15 19:22

pasha cant be on the list anymore, no way is he top10

2015-01-15 19:22

Well, i do agree that he is not top10, but he is going to be on the list because there is no one left that could be

2015-01-15 19:37

the top 10 list has been retarded so far so wouldn't be surprised

2015-01-15 19:39

are you serious ? people hate on Pasha just because he goofs around on his stream . Pasha was huge in every major ! KennyS stepped up in the second half of this year . Pasha's Katowice performance was the most notable thing this year . Stop raging fanboy , ffs .

2015-01-15 20:24

im not a raging fanboy lmao even to the point I said i'd rather have smithzz in my team over kennys, but the last 4 months kennys has been by far top 1, no one can even come close, and the first 8 months he was top 5

2015-01-15 20:34

I agree KennyS should be 1st/2nd, but I also agree that Pasha should be 5-10th, that's obvious, he's done a lot for his team.

2015-01-15 21:25

rip

2015-01-15 19:22

2015-01-15 19:22

ahhahahahahahahahahahahah

2015-01-15 19:26

Hahahahha nice

2015-01-15 19:26

"Kenny "kennyS" Schrub displayed a very high level of play throughout 2014, but it led to little success for his teams and therefore he ended up 6th" is this a freaking team ranking or player ranking? Who cares how far the player's team got if we're talking about player rankings?! I feel like some of the trolls on HLTV use more logic than people coming up with this ranking :/

2015-01-15 19:26

+1 Dude , KennyS with 1.27 rate at 6th position it's a real Joke. Is it his fault if he play with bad teams ? Fuck logic , hltv rank remind me of FIFA ranking ... -_-

2015-01-15 19:27

look kennys stats lol still #6 fkin joke ranking

2015-01-15 19:28

Kenny dosent win anything, and fangirls want him to be top1 xD Rly retarded kids. Pasha > Kenny in 2014 easy.

2015-01-15 19:26

Dude we are not fanboy , but seriously when you have this stats you should be at least top3

2015-01-15 19:29

is it team or individual player ratings?

2015-01-15 20:40

lol

2015-01-15 19:26

What the fuck is this for a ranking? O.o

2015-01-15 19:26

why still no allu??? so bad list fffss

2015-01-15 19:26

Allu won't be in the rankings. KennyS is number 6 on the list because his team didn't win anything, so although allu is good, his teams has done absolutely nothing.

2015-01-15 20:28

Kenny top 3 easy

#1 HAHAHA

2015-01-15 19:27

idiots

2015-01-15 19:27

Okay I am a bit confused here, KennYS , is doubetdly the best player in the world in 2014 for me. I mean I can try and make sense of how even his amazing frags did not make the impact necessary to push his team on the edge and how he did not show up as much in the BIG events, but you gotta realize that was mostly due to lackluster performance from others and also because how there weren't any other SuperStars in his team, so he had a lot more pressure. So given the situation he was Individually amazing, he was amazingly consistent should have been higher imo. Could be wrong , but probably not.

2015-01-15 19:33

#6 lmfao

2015-01-15 19:27

1 step : say you base all your analyse on stats 2nd step : put kennyS 6th when he is #1 everywhere 3rd step : look how hltv's community is mad

2015-01-15 19:27

4th: profit?

2015-01-15 20:29

And what he win in 2014?

2015-01-15 19:27

"he was the best fragger of the year with 0.86 kills per round, he had the most AWP kills per round (0.44), had the highest T side rating (1.15), highest success in entry duels (61%) and the most T-side entry kills (0.13 per round)." #6 pasha > kennys ahahahahha

2015-01-15 19:27

safe to say pasha is better rifler than kennyS, seems like hltv ranking isn't only on personal skill but also about team placements in tournamets, this is why kenny is only 6, but still he should be top3 imo

2015-01-15 19:29

u mad hahahahha

2015-01-15 19:30

deserved top3 imo, what a shame

2015-01-15 19:28

he's #1 in pretty much everything except a list that's supposed to tell you who's #1

2015-01-15 19:28

2015-01-15 19:28

HLTV clearly trying to be hipster here, no other explanation. Probably that luppris guy behind this.

2015-01-15 19:35

I had him at #5 but this is just about right

2015-01-15 19:29

Kenny Scrub

2015-01-15 19:32

to legend(i can't seem to use the reply button) it's extremely hard to judge a players stats when they're not reaching the peak competition, if you're raping kids in group stage but aren't playing in semi's and finals where almost everyone is around 1-1.10 rating then you can't judge solely off of stats, it's always going to be harder the further you go, thus the reason his stats are so inflated.

2015-01-15 19:32

what. cant believe that fnatic cheaterinno will be above him.

2015-01-15 19:32

he dont win major, because his team shit.

2015-01-15 19:33

this #6 rank for kennyS screwed the whole ranking for me, should be easily top3 as maybe the best and most dominant individual player

2015-01-15 19:33

poor frenchies didnt make it into the top 5 as expected

2015-01-15 19:33

are u fucking kidding me ? all france players are better than sweden

2015-01-15 19:50

2015-01-15 23:14

"Top 20 players of 2014" - He is the one who impressed you the most and he is the one with the highest rating through the whole year with some insane almost 2.00 rating, and yet you place him 6th ? Wow... This particular place is a joke. While I agree on all the other player's placement, this one is pure bullshit.

2015-01-15 19:34

You guys always forget that your team achievments matter as well, so if KennyS would be no.1 that would be "against the rules". Even tho i think he should be higher, just look at his ratings, #1 in almost everything. Not 1st place but at least 4th

2015-01-15 19:36

Put Swag over Kioshima and said that was based on stats, even though Swag achieved nothing last year. and put Kenny at 6 and said that his individual stats with little achievement wasn't enough. WTF logic is that !!!

2015-01-15 19:34

This

2015-01-15 19:34

It's so dumb, it's best PLAYER 2014. Not best team results. This list is becoming farcical!

2015-01-15 19:35

2015-01-15 19:48

Pretty much the same logic that put kennyS above anyone on this list so far. His individual play as the star of his team contributed to the success they had, same as swag who also played at a much higher individual level than kioShiMa. kioShiMa was only the star in Epsilon where they achieved an easy semi-final place at DH Summer and 1/4 final at Cologne, in other events he wasn't the main star of the team, while those who were have been rewarded with higher placings. By the same logic the players above kennyS were the most important to the success of their teams. Same story every year, and new people always show up and don't bother to think about it or look it up... It's not the same if you're the star of your team as you win a major, or if you're the star of your team as you win 5 events, or if you're the star of your team as you win one event, or if you're not the star of your team and you win whatever out of that. kalle had the best rating in 2011, should he have been #1? COLON was the best fragger in 2013 if we look at just individuals at big events, should he have been #1 instead of GeT_RiGhT?

2015-01-15 20:58

Do you remeber what place Kalle came on that year? Excellent articles btw

2015-01-15 23:01

He was #11 hltv.org/news/8007-top-20-players-of-201..

2015-01-16 12:34

okay byebye hltv -1 user

2015-01-15 19:34

mad baguetteeeee

2015-01-15 21:38

Why does the fact he had shit team mates take away from the fact he was the #1 player of 2014. Whoever is doing these rankings has zero logic.

2015-01-15 19:34

omg, are u kidding kennyS top6? Its so stupid

2015-01-15 19:34

What did he achieve in 2014 ?

2015-01-15 19:35

This should be INDIVIDUAL performance... Don't blame him for having 3 shitty team mates...

2015-01-15 19:36

The reason for him being 6th is mentioned in the huge big article above.

2015-01-15 19:40

Swag achieved nothing but he was ranked higher than MVP of DHW candidate "Kioshima" because of stats. (which isn't that impressive)

2015-01-15 19:37

Dhw is one fucking tournament

2015-01-16 05:40

the list is based on facts,not fanboism. Get over it.

2015-01-15 19:34

There's 10 rows of facts if you scroll up, #1 in 9 meaningful statistics. Pretty sure no one else has more than 4 stats they're #1 on.

2015-01-15 19:35

The reason for him being 6th is mentioned in the huge big article above.

2015-01-15 19:42

Because his team is not up to par to compete on a high level and kennyS does well even if their team gets steamrolled? Fair enough, but in that case this isn't a list for top 20 players, it's top 20 achievements. And even then kennyS has achieved the most when it comes to individual stats.

2015-01-15 19:45

So for you logic, the best soccer player list would be: German German German ????

2015-01-15 19:36

Portugal Argentinian German German German German German

2015-01-15 19:42

u are retard sry look kennys stats almost everywhere first pls stfu

2015-01-15 19:37

The reason for him being 6th is mentioned in the huge big article above.

2015-01-15 19:42

1. Snax 2. GTR 3. JW 4. pasha 5. flusha ?

2015-01-15 19:34

fucking fnatic fanboy going to put 1. flusha 2. JW ¬¬

2015-01-15 19:46

well nobody expected that kennys could be top1, because he didnt win nothing, his skill is awesome, but he has bad team so he cant be top1, maybe top 5 yes

2015-01-15 19:34

I think I'm failing to understand the purpose of this list. kennyS was by far the best player of the year, and it's even quoted in the article.

2015-01-15 19:34

Yeah pretty funny :p

2015-01-15 19:37

It's like in football where Müller, Lahm and Schürrle is the best best players ... ohh wait.

2015-01-15 20:36

I don't follow soccer at all - can u explain?

2015-01-15 23:20

Germany won the World Cup this year with those players. The worlds best player (Ballon d'Or) went to Christiano Ronaldo who plays for Portugal who went out in groups. It's an analogy that agrees with you and puts it in a wider context than HLTV.

2015-01-15 23:35

srsly ? Please... GeT_RiGhT > KennyS in this year ? pasha > KennyS in this year ? FLUSHA > KennyS in this year ? You guys sucks, no words.

2015-01-15 19:35

lol it's full 2014 not 4 months yes they are

2015-01-15 20:00

"He was the best fragger of the year" --> #6 What a fucking joke ! Are you fucking serious ???

2015-01-15 19:35

try to read "Why is he the 6th best player of 2014?" blind french fanboys

2015-01-15 19:43

HLTV REPORTED !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

2015-01-15 19:35

.... this top !!!! is about top players !!! and he was the best player this year . now we are sure this is a joke ....

2015-01-15 19:43

ale jaja

2015-01-15 19:35

jw 1 gtr 2

2015-01-15 19:36

GG HLTV. RANKING MADE BY SILVERS GO DIE PLEASE

2015-01-15 19:36

You fucking kids are so one dimensional in the brain, why don't you look outside the box, not only does he have 0 achievements, he's also not playing top competition in big stages, no one has a 1.27 rating when they're palying in semi's and finals in big events, his stats are inflated like crazy because he's not playing against the best consistently, it's just not possible to judge him off of his stats, i had him ranked 5-6, you guys are just ignorant close minded fanboys.

2015-01-15 19:36

+one.

2015-01-15 19:37

Ok, and then why ranked Happy at #10, he was one of the best clutch player last year. Also Friberg, MVP of ESL Cologne first major for NiP ranked #14 ??? This is the most inconsistent list i've ever seen.

2015-01-15 19:46

first guy with some brain in this thread +1

2015-01-15 19:52

"Individually Kenny "kennyS" Schrub was by far the most impressive player of the year, but on the other hand his great play led to barely any achievements." You know at least they acknowledge hes the best individual player

2015-01-15 19:36

I don't understand...this is an individual ranking right? It's about the best player, not the best team...

2015-01-15 19:38

Exactly my thoughts

2015-01-15 19:39

This is Top20 overall skill and achievement wise. KennyS could be #1 on skillwise only list.

2015-01-15 20:55

i thought "best player" means most skillful player. if this list is about success not skill (which it obv. is) it is useless.

2015-01-16 08:05

yes but this is individual list not team list, judging by teams fiflaren should be top 10

2015-01-15 19:42

if he just had a batter team ...

2015-01-15 19:36

best jok

2015-01-15 19:36

> Best player in the world > 6th

2015-01-15 19:36

WTF

2015-01-15 19:37

pathetic. kenny is by far the best in the world. wtf is wrong with u?

2015-01-15 19:37

LMFAOO

2015-01-15 19:37

hhhaahhahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahha

2015-01-15 19:37

AHAHAHAHAHAHAH

2015-01-15 19:37

He "deserves" a much better rank but shouldn't have it cause it's true he just won 1 single tournament and it was just a 8-teams one. CS:go is still a team game.

2015-01-15 19:37

hahah l000000000l wtf

2015-01-15 19:38

How can some people disregard the fact that he didn't play enough big games and even the ones he did play he didn't play that good in. How can a player for some people be the best when he never really had an impact to go far. I could agree that he could have placed maybe 5-4 but not top 3, espacially when you know that the players that are left had bigger impact on there play and achieved way more. A player could just play all group stage matches otherwise and get really high stats before going out in a close game, or something like that. Would that player then really be the best when it never really leads to something? Too many who can't get a clue how at least this ranking works, and I think HLTV are doing a really good job with fair placements on the players. Stats isn't everything here which should have been fairly obviouse from the start. And if you have seen HLTVs previous rankings this comes as no surprise as to how it all works.

2015-01-15 19:38

youtube.com/watch?v=lQEb2drCSl4 Dust2 rating (#1) lnferno rating (#1) T-side rating (#1)

2015-01-15 19:45

Yeah, sick play by kenny. I never said in my post he isn't good.

2015-01-15 19:47

Put Kennys In Fnatic and you will see what achievements he will do -_-

2015-01-15 19:58

Thats kinda irrelevant though isn't it and only speculations. Maybe fnatic would play really bad with kennys in the team. Maybe it wouldn't work socialy, what about the language barrier? To just say put this player in this team and you'll see it will all be good is kinda kindergard thinking. Have seen good players in all sorts of sport that played good in one team but didn't deliver once they moved to a better team.

2015-01-15 20:09

I got your point but dude. but KennyS is consistent he put up +10 , +15..etc frags everygame against any small or big team. This by far the best indivdual performance after Get_Right performances on 2013 even tought that to put up stats like that in 2014 is more difficult

2015-01-15 20:41

I would say you didn't get my point. And what pl3xus said, he didn't play good or even play any BIG matches almost. If he had played all those semifinals and finals as GTR did in 2013 and still had these stats, yeah sure without a doubt he would be nr1, but he didn't. I don't think you will change your mind on this like most people in here blinded by the fact that the stats that he got was against mostly lesser teams in group stage. And no, I don't think kennys is a bad player, he is a really good player and deservers the nr6 spot.

2015-01-15 21:04

Even with less impact you can't win 16rounds for your team every game. For me he deserve a better spot at least top5 and I'm sure you'ill be with my opinion with that.

2015-01-15 21:37

Well yeah, I thought he would be 4th actually. But I can also see why he got 6, that being said, I still wanna point out I think he is a great player and obviously one of the most skilled. What I'm just tired of, not just with people not being satisfied with kennys rank, is that people try not to see the whole picture of how this ranking works. Kennys had, for this year, no chance being top3 at least, but was still one who showed us what kinda level of play he can do, just too bad he didn't have a team to back him and prove them self against better teams. Cause Kennys can only do so much on his own, and what he did he deservers he this high ranking.

2015-01-15 22:12

Well based to this ranking I can understand why he is on the 6th spot and I feel sad too for some made fanboys. He don't deserve to be n1 or n2... But I think 3 or 4th would be more fair , as an encouragement to his play during all the year. Cause It's really difficultc to keep this incredible performance during the next year

2015-01-15 23:59

Is flusha seriously going to be ranked higher then kennyS just because he plays in an insane team unlike kenny who needs to carry every game?

2015-01-15 19:38

Yes my friend HAHAHAHAHAHAHA

2015-01-15 19:57

hltv reported

2015-01-15 19:38

nice one, this year gonna be top3, but remember he had poor performance too so it was expected

2015-01-15 19:39

fanboyism is so strong... You silvers and unranked kids better read text b4 commenting... His team is responsible for his placements, if they could've done it better, he would be much higher for sure. This is most real ranking, based on all factors combined, and huge +1 for HLTV for great articles about each player.

2015-01-15 19:39

Tomi, rly. Stop licking fnatic ass. You already did enough with your "HLTV team ranking for December". Now you will put 4 of their players in top10? They didnt deserve that. Im not saying that they was very good in last few months, but hello, 2014 isnt only 5 months, its whole year, and tbh, fnatic and their players wasnt that impressive in first 7 months. You call flusha cheater, then stand by your words, or give public apologize. Dont try to make things right with licking their ass all over HLTV with your rankings. All of this become joke. If you want to do this job, do it correctly, or just leave it. TY

2015-01-15 19:39

It's not lurrpis who is doing this rankings... You have no clue how is this being done. Our lad Tgwri1s is doing all the stats and stuff...

2015-01-15 19:42

He is doing just jobs with stats. Rest of job do rest of HLTV crew together, and main word has lurppis.

2015-01-16 10:34

2015-01-15 19:43

Why do you think lurppis is making the list? Have you not seen the author of every single player of the year article?

2015-01-15 20:05

I read statement of lurppis on some thread that all of you making this lists (He said: "HLTV Crew making all rankings"). Im sure that Petar is charge for statistic, but as we can see, statistic doesnt play big role here. Also instead of making top 2014 teams, he made top for december, where fnatic was top1. Still, 2014 passed, we still dont have some top teams for 2k14. No doubt that fnatic players was dominate in past few months, but hello, 2k14 is not only last few months, like i said above. Also, in every choice for the top players in every sport, its important individual stats. 2 years ago Ribery won everything, still Ronaldo won ballon d'or cuz his invdividual stats was a way better. Also, its not like kenny didnt carry his team(s) (CM and Titan) vs a lot stronger opponents. I think that should be also key factor. If we talk about best player, kenny deserved to be a lot higher, and some players, lower on list. Its about individual stats, not about team.

2015-01-16 10:33

Pretty sure he was talking about the top20 video highlights of 2014.

2015-01-16 17:30

If i find that thread, ill link you

2015-01-16 17:49

Overrated baguette. Bails his team, and picks up the frags. Does not deserve top ten.

2015-01-15 19:39

L0L

2015-01-15 19:40

LoL! This makes this list worthless... to place KennyS who has carried Titan singlehandedly all year on 6th place is just.... Crazy! He was the best individual player of 2014. And no one can say otherwise.

2015-01-15 19:39

2015-01-15 19:47

Best on d2, inferno, mirage, best entrier, best Awper, best fragger, most deadly and still fkin n6 because he is not swedish. And for anyone saying that 'his team didnt win anything blabla it is BEST PLAYERS award and he couldnt carry 4 teammates alone. Shox n8, kennys n6 3 Swedes in top 5 I am so fucking done with these ratings

2015-01-15 19:39

ok hltv u lost ur credibility here gg

2015-01-15 19:40

totally +1

2015-01-15 19:41

pasha > kennys confirmed. I have agreed with top 20 list so far, but this is just ridiculous. Did really expect kennys to get atleast top 3 spot, but i guess pasha with 2 good tournamnet will take that spot, so overrated. I'm pretty sure most of the people would rank kennys over pasha tbh.

2015-01-15 19:40

lol

2015-01-15 19:41

wtf ? hltv so stupid

2015-01-15 19:41

6th? are you kidding me...

2015-01-15 19:41

what? this top20 is fucking aids

2015-01-15 19:42

he should be top3

2015-01-15 19:42

pasha > kennyS Kreygasm

2015-01-15 19:42

motra2k 50.000$ ----> hltv.org pasha #1 :D jokeee :)

2015-01-15 19:42

nah, that's gonna be JW, pasha will be no.3

2015-01-15 19:43

If this year Get Righ gets the 1st place (one more time), than HLTV is a joke.

2015-01-15 19:42

1 april?

2015-01-15 19:43

only 6 ? how ???????

2015-01-15 19:43

"He made no impact at the majors and despite having good numbers to show from those events, he didn't play well in Clan-Mystik or Titan's deciding matches in Katowice and Cologne." read

2015-01-15 19:46

hahahhahhahha Bad ranking

2015-01-15 19:44

Hahahaha lmao this ranking. He deserves top 1. I am done with this shit now

2015-01-15 19:44

stats based shit

2015-01-15 19:44

bullshit world first

2015-01-15 19:44

Lmfao fuck yourself HLTV

2015-01-15 19:45

this is retarded, all you read is " but he was still the best player in titan, having 1.3 rating" etc hltv retarded

2015-01-15 19:45

Seems fair enough imo. Impressive performances, but lack of achievements in comparison to some of the other players.

2015-01-15 19:45

The ranking was somewhat decent until now. This is absolute dogshit.

2015-01-15 19:45

Even though he didn't achieve a lot this year, I still expected him higher because he really just dominated every team dropping 30 bombs consistently.

2015-01-15 19:45

lol wtf , i'ma leave hltv if pasha or flusha rank higher than kennyS

2015-01-15 19:46

WHAT A JOKE ROFL

2015-01-15 19:46

well he didn't achieve anything at all with Titan so 6th place is right for him but kids will be mad because pasha with "LEM" will be higher than him.

2015-01-15 19:46

This is a team game. The lack of team achievements 2014 lost him a better ranking, get that in your heads fanboys.

2015-01-15 19:46

REKT

2015-01-15 19:46

kennys>flusha>jw>pasha>snax...

2015-01-15 19:46

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO I DIDNT READ IT BUT BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

2015-01-15 19:47

Deluded fanboys. This list is based on rankings and tournament ratings, kennys has 6th best stats in 2014, why the fuck are you crying? If you think of him as the best player player in csgo - nobody is holding you back. Everyone has right to own an opinion.

2015-01-15 19:47

"However, none of that was enough to push him higher in the ranking as it didn't lead to much success" Is this best player or best team award? What does team success have to do with how good a player is? If you put kennys in ggwp.pro he would still be the sickest player in the world even though he would finish last in every tournament.

2015-01-15 19:47

Statistically KennyS is miles ahead of anyone else in this list: i.gyazo.com/36d85ce06dbf09e3595230556478.. I'd say the top5 is way too biased towards team results and major success. E: Incase you couldn't figure out KennyS is the one with 1.27 rating and top position in almost half of the statistics recorded.

2015-01-15 19:49

He deserved a higher spot

2015-01-15 19:48

Should be in top3

2015-01-15 19:48

hahahha kennyS shoud be top1 but this is sweden organisation kennyS>SWEDEN You will se top5 Getright maikelele Xzit friberg flusha

2015-01-15 19:48

HLTV.org is not swedish...

What is HLTV actually "from?

2015-01-16 07:54

If we would have to pick one i would personally guess Denmark.

2015-01-16 09:03

Im proud :)

2015-01-16 15:36

this list is a fucking joke lmfao

2015-01-15 19:49

This must be a joke right?

pasha top5 :PPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPP

2015-01-15 19:49

nearly all stats #1 but #6 player such logic :D

2015-01-15 19:50

lol kenns fanboys retarded think he is top1 he isnt even top 10 this year imo he played bad in all majors excep maybe dhs so he is lucky he is here tbh snax is the best player from majors so he is will be #1!!! not kenns

2015-01-15 19:50

Individually Kenny "kennyS" Schrub was by far the most impressive player of the year, but on the other hand his great play led to barely any achievements. You are ranking players individually, not the team OMG. Achievements in CS:GO are about the team itself, the team-play and collective stuff. So there is no point at all in ranking individual players considering the lack of achievements of their team. This ranking is stupid... :x

2015-01-15 19:50

Okay I am done.

2015-01-15 19:50

well ... he deserved to be top2 at least even he didnt achieve much

2015-01-15 19:50

LOL, this chart means nothing KennyS TOP1

2015-01-15 19:50

HAHAHAHAHA again.. pasha > kennyS I read all the article.. and my question still the same.. HOW???

2015-01-15 19:50

also Get_Right > KennyS ? WTF ???

2015-01-15 19:52

So Edward instead of Pasha? lol this list...

2015-01-15 19:51

well thats a fucking laughable ranking

2015-01-15 19:51

wow. just wow hltv fails so hard proof that stats alone shouldn't be used to rank

2015-01-15 19:52

this is list must be made by a group of silvers , kenny was by far the best player of 2014

2015-01-15 19:52

I don't get it, will Pasha be in the top 5 or not even in the top 20 at all?

2015-01-15 19:52

Hmm. You have pushed for the fact that this is a individual rankingm, yet you claim he cant rank any higher because his team lets him down. I mean you write that KennyS has the best stats pretty much. I dont get it.

2015-01-15 19:52

what a joke LMAO

2015-01-15 19:52

there was already a top10 team list, this is about THE BEST player and kennyS is the best, leave team stats away from here.

2015-01-15 19:52

lol, 6th???? :DDDDDD really nice joke, hope flusha, getright or jw 1st.........

2015-01-15 19:53

ayyyy lmao

2015-01-15 19:52

lol so rekt this ranking too much for me

2015-01-15 19:53

2015-01-15 19:54

Snax? -.-

2015-01-15 19:57

lurppis do something plz

2015-01-15 19:54

hahahahahahhahahaha CarryS 6? epic joke. Sry , but CarryS > all. In my opinion top 1.

2015-01-15 19:54

This community.. Pretty much all the people complaining did not read anything or are biased as hell. HLTV in a nutshell..

2015-01-15 19:54

2015-01-15 19:55

WHAT THE FUCK IS THIS SHIT? WHO IS BETTER THAN HIM? FUCKING XTRFY

2015-01-15 19:55

wtf......

2015-01-15 19:55

You guys don't read the article or the picture. This ranking is not purely based on individual skills. Get your personal stat minded thoughts out of the gutter.

2015-01-15 19:55

Now 5. Snax 4. Pasha 3. Flusha 2. JW 1. Get right cuz sponsored by nip Because nip made it to 3 finals, no one cares about anything else

2015-01-15 19:55

best player in the world on nr 6 haha

2015-01-15 19:55

he had by far the best individual performance, but not enough titles

2015-01-15 19:55

as i said he will be 6th because he didnt won anything special

2015-01-15 19:56

ciau hltv cant take you serious

2015-01-15 19:56

lmao, he is the best player on 3 of the 4 most played maps, best t side player, most entry frags, number 2 in entry frags overall, most rounds with more than 1 kill. and he ends up as 6th???

2015-01-15 19:56

What is not logical is that the top 5-10 of this ranking is better than the top 5

2015-01-15 19:56

hahah don't care much about ranking but this thread is so fun to read xD

2015-01-15 19:56

6??? HAHAHHAHAHAHA YOU CANT BE SERIOUS

2015-01-15 19:57

pasha above kenny ? done with hltv.org

2015-01-15 19:57

I'm a huge fanboy of kennys, when I watch him with awp it's like I'm watching markeloff in 1.6

2015-01-15 19:58

WTF????????

2015-01-15 19:58

Coentrao > Messi cuz REAL won C1 HLTV LOGIC

2015-01-15 19:59

FRANCE and SWEDes are winning everything in csgo now The best swedish player is forest and the best french player is kennys or shox So it's not logic

2015-01-15 19:58

This ranking thingy doesn't make much sense. It is claimed that this ranking list solely focuses players and not the actual teams, yet you do not rank KennyS higher only because his team didn't manage to reach certain heights during 2014? This ranking list seems to be contradicting its own purpose.

2015-01-15 19:58

yes thats what i think, too

2015-01-15 22:33

there u go fangirls

2015-01-15 19:59

FailFish list. KennyS > Get_1spotbecausesponsorandoldmerits.

2015-01-15 19:59

1 KennyS 2 JW 3 snax 4 shox 5 flusha 6 get right 7 f0rest 8 guardiaN 9 happy 10 pasha

2015-01-15 20:00

omg,his stat always 1st place: most awp kill,best rating inferno....

2015-01-15 20:00

THIS IS A FUCKING JOKE

2015-01-15 20:00

So none of you fanboys actually read the article and had the brains of your own to make simple conclusions based on that? Stomping tier 2-3 teams on the curb in the group stages would hardly reflect on a persons individual skill being on a tier above the rest and making him a top 1 candidate. It's true that he is without a doubt a great player, belongs in my top3 by a mile. Doesn't change the fact that events are valued based on overall performance, and when your team hardly gets past group stages and the value of rating is determined on the amount of games played it's justified that he's 6th. Based on fanboy logic a person with 1.5 rating from 4 maps is much better than a person with 1.4 rating from 12 maps. The difference is in the quantity, not in the quality of the games. I'd rank him in top3 if I was blinded by fanboyism, but I'd rather stay objective and accept the facts. Pretty on point list so far. pz

2015-01-15 20:01

With that said. I think kennyS is too high on the list.

2015-01-15 20:04

kenny played 4 maps? ah ok

2015-01-15 20:04

Did you even read what I wrote? I can post it in French, if that's what you want.

2015-01-15 20:09

You couldn't have explained it better. Its just like you said, too many people is blinded by fanboyism and can´t accept the facts. Its been like this with almost every player on the list.

2015-01-15 20:25

Acknowledging in the article he's the best and then ranking him 6th is kinda ridiculous.

2015-01-15 20:01

great

2015-01-15 20:01

AHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAН YES HLTV, 6! AHHAHAHAH

2015-01-15 20:02

should be top 3.

2015-01-15 20:02

I think this is because Titan didn't participate into Dreamhack Cuz KQLY. I really tought he would be Top5 tho. He is almost carrying every game.

2015-01-15 20:02

So sad he hasn't won enough because he's clearly the best out there :(

2015-01-15 20:03

AHAHHAHAHAHAHAH Shox #8 KennyS #6 Ranking made by nip fanboys, gtr will be #1 hahahaha

2015-01-15 20:03

F0rest would make Shox his wife in prison, so don't whine.

2015-01-15 20:05

Shox barely deserves that ranking, what a shitty overrated player. But Kenny deserves #1, I agree. But this ranking is not only about individual performance, but also about tournament placements with your team. Thats why he isnt higher.

2015-01-15 20:08

ahah that's why swag > kio ? what a joke, this ranking is a big joke

2015-01-15 21:04

YES, of course it is!!! Because Kio wasn't in a team that achieved anything for the majority of the year! He was in t2 teams all the way until the end of the year. Just in case you're confused down there in France: A year has 12 months, not 4.

2015-01-15 21:19

"Because Kio wasn't in a team that achieved anything for the majority of the year!" And swag was in this kind of team ? "Just in case you're confused down there in France: A year has 12 months, not 4." Thanks, he played for great teams and even if he is at his top level for ~4 months, it counts.

2015-01-16 10:24

This is a fucking joke.

2015-01-15 20:04

#1 Dust2 rating #1 Inferno rating #1 Mirage rating #1 T-side rating #1 T-side entry-kills #1 AWP kills per round #1 Entry duels won #1 Kills per round #1 Rounds with more than one kill Also highest overall rating by far. What an amazing player... Edit: If you're going to argue that swag > kioshima because of better stats, I can't see how you can place kennyS at #6.

2015-01-15 20:15

Indeed.

2015-01-15 20:07

Easier to keep a high rating when u only play 4 maps at every event!

2015-01-15 21:04

Dude this ranking is ridiculous, 100% agree with you !

2015-01-15 21:05

Whoever is doing these lists is seriously telling us that there are 5 players who are better than kennys? The only player who might be better than kenny is krimz and he is 9th or w/e. Fucking JW is gonna be higher than kennys when he is getting carried hard by krimz and flusha hahahahahaha fucking joke of a site pasza played well in one tournament then did fuck all for half a year and he will be higher lmao fu

2015-01-15 20:04

[*] we love Kenny

2015-01-15 20:04

This ranking is a joke.. let's see who's better than kennyS.. I'll laugh my ass off.

2015-01-15 20:05

This TOP20 - one big nonsense

2015-01-15 20:05

GTR #1 JW #2

2015-01-15 20:06

Those stats...

2015-01-15 20:08

Impressive stats

2015-01-15 20:08

This ranking is not only about individual performance, but also about tournament placements with your team. Thats why he isnt higher.

2015-01-15 20:08

hilariuos :DD I will fking quit HLTV for ever if pasha will be top 3....

2015-01-15 20:09

This is the 1st player where I disagree with his standings. While I wasn't expecting him to be #1 because it was obvious that HLTV rating was giving emphasis to titles won, it makes little sense to me that the highest rated player individually fails to achieve top 3. One can argue that had titan advanced in more tournaments maybe his ratings would've lowered down, yet that goes beyond analysis of statistics and enters the realm of speculation.

2015-01-15 20:09

Should be higher....

2015-01-15 20:12

Next incoming joke, gtr top 5. And to finnish, flusha top1 !

2015-01-15 20:12

the corrupted hltv.org

2015-01-15 20:12

KennyS didn't even make it out of the group stage at any major tournaments, quick put him at #1!!

2015-01-15 20:12

6th? Uh say what now? Can't wait for GTR, Flusha, JW to be top 3. This list is getting kind of ridiculous.

2015-01-15 20:13

nice, gtr top1 i guess? sponsorship > all nowadays

2015-01-15 20:13

good rating against Vox Eminor > Major finals get rekt

2015-01-15 20:15

Explain this shit

2015-01-15 20:13

GO HOME HLTV YOUR DRUNK!

2015-01-15 20:14

Where are the Murricans?? AAAAHAHAHA Big country, still low skill :o

2015-01-15 20:14

Sorry but this is just ridiculous, even reading the justifications I just cant comprehend how he's been put this low down. Anyone with a brain who's been paying attention this year knows he's been a country mile above everyone in so many areas. Even the stats show him to have the best rating in the majority of areas. This is stupid.

2015-01-15 20:14

worst ranking ever

2015-01-15 20:15

what the hell is this ranking rofl

2015-01-15 20:16

saucer

2015-01-15 20:16

Wow.. HLTV ranking died with this shit.

2015-01-15 20:16

2015-01-16 03:07

So JW > kennyS?

2015-01-15 20:16

WHAT?! I was 100% sure he was going too be nr.1 after outfragging a cheater and carrying titan on his shoulders for the entire 2014

2015-01-15 20:16

What in the fuck. This is awful.

2015-01-15 20:18

I will quote Drogba for this. "It's a disgrace. It's a fucking disgrace."

2015-01-15 20:20

Only #1 place everywhere and overall 6 this is a fuckign joke

2015-01-15 20:19

this is complete bullshit!!!!!

2015-01-15 20:21

You should rename it to "Top 20 Players that have won the most in 2014".

2015-01-15 20:21

Hiko's auto shotty #1

2015-01-15 20:22

WTF?

2015-01-15 20:22

best!

2015-01-15 20:23

Clearly the best player of the year and he only gets ranked 6th? wow that's quite the bad joke...

2015-01-15 20:24

its easier to make a 1.27 rating in group stages and shitty events than in playoffs @majors so maybe he was beast this year but imo not best

2015-01-15 20:24

ahaha :D ask any professional player who is the best among them ;)

2015-01-15 20:25

pro players are drooling everytime they watch kenny play. just stop hating you idiot

2015-01-15 22:35

ROFL JOKE? KennyS is the best player in CSGO by a fucking country mile. Who cares if Titan were too shit to win anything with him carrying EVERY SINGLE MAP and Kqly got vacced.

2015-01-15 20:25

Ok now I agree, this ranking is bullshit

2015-01-15 20:25

I thought this ranking was about the best player of the year, we already know who won the tournaments this year hltv.

2015-01-15 20:26

only cuz of low teammates...

2015-01-15 20:26

f*ck this... JW, snax and GTR in top5 for sure. But what do you think guys, who are the other ones? I think flusha, pasha or scream. Tell me what do you think?

2015-01-15 20:26

no chance for scream :D

2015-01-15 20:31

said it

2015-01-15 20:27

5 players better then KennyS this year confirmed. Shitty list.

2015-01-15 20:28

i guess snax is #1

2015-01-15 20:28

Snax #5 inc...or not on list at all.

2015-01-16 17:27

Mad fanboys everywhere rofl

2015-01-15 20:28

YEA, go VACnatic and flusha TOP 1 disgrace

2015-01-15 20:29

wtf just top 6? NiP fanboi overhere !

2015-01-15 20:29

He has the highest spot on the list without a big win i think this is a great position

2015-01-15 20:32

Actually a joke

2015-01-15 20:34

>play in team with cheater >be in top 6 kek.

2015-01-15 20:34

-using arrows -on hltv please stop.

2015-01-15 20:44

best awp ever - 6th pos..

2015-01-15 20:34

"Overall he ended up topping the charts in many categories – he was the best fragger of the year with 0.86 kills per round, he had the most AWP kills per round (0.44), had the highest T side rating (1.15), highest success in entry duels (61%) and the most T-side entry kills (0.13 per round). " so he is basically the best player , but with shit team .

2015-01-15 20:35

I am so lost and confused with this ranking... shox 8th, KennyS 6th WTF?

2015-01-15 20:35

so..... get_right or pasha > KennyS???? AHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH

2015-01-15 20:37

Really nigga? 6th? I'll slap yo mofo.

2015-01-15 20:39

If gtr is first then it's so rigged

2015-01-15 20:40

f0rest, shox and kennyS should all be higher imo

2015-01-15 20:40

Sorry, but this is bullshit. I would love to see the metrics these rankings are based on.

2015-01-15 20:41

Read introduction of Top 20, retard. Sick of you already lads...

2015-01-15 20:45

I have read it. If the rankings were only based on how far you made it into tournaments then Fiffy was consistently a top 10 player.

2015-01-15 21:06

Well, you understood it wrong if you think so. Sorry for retard, raged a little bit. :<

2015-01-15 21:09

unexpected kids went full retard as usual, nothing new in that

2015-01-15 20:42

flusha > kennyS, hltv confirmed lmao

2015-01-15 20:43

He is n1 for me. Loving he`s awp-ing style

2015-01-15 20:44

this list is a pure joke

2015-01-15 20:44

98% of this community didn't even read introduction of Top 20, they don't realize how it works and they actually never reads content of each player. At least respect HLTV staff for their done job and try to read next time, retards. Well deserved kennyS, it's not your fault that you have such a team.

2015-01-15 20:44

2015-01-16 11:04

List made by some lousy swedes confirmed, never ever buying an Xtrfy product

2015-01-15 20:46

dat stats lol, best player on any map.

2015-01-15 20:46

So the top 5 must be: (not necessarily in that order) 1- GeT_RiGhT 2- JW 3- Snax 4- Pasha 5- ???

2015-01-15 20:48

flusha will be last in top5

2015-01-15 20:51

Flusha

2015-01-15 20:53

Oh thank you, I thought Flusha had been chosen, had forgotten haha ^^

2015-01-15 20:59

after reading all these comments about how "KennyS is going to be n1n1n1n111" I had 1 thought in my mind after seeing this thread - "This gonna be gud, MOMMA BRING ME A POPCORN"

2015-01-15 20:47

LOL

2015-01-15 20:48

Not even reading the article. STRAIGHT TO COMMENT SECTION! Wow, that hate :D

2015-01-15 20:48

kennyS out of top5? This ranking is a JOKE.

2015-01-15 20:50

RIOT

2015-01-15 20:52

WOT? U SRS HLTV? omfg..

2015-01-15 20:54

JW really better than KennyS JW INC

2015-01-15 20:59

wtf

2015-01-15 20:59

Have to agree with the majority here, this ranking seems to contradict itself, especially in kennyS' case. I understand and (somewhat) agree with arguments made for his placement but I really don't think those are enough to push him all the way to the sixth place. Very odd choice.

2015-01-15 20:59

No one would care about these rankings if they picked the obvious choices. Now you're all talking about it. HLTV.org wins.

2015-01-15 21:02

gl kenny

2015-01-15 21:02

KennyS > Pasha JW > GeT_RiGhT

2015-01-15 21:03

Holy shit, look at those stats.

2015-01-15 21:05

suicide incoming, wtf is this for hltv, looks his stats, its players rating not team

2015-01-15 21:06

Wait what? #6? HAHAHAHAHAH

2015-01-15 21:06

Individually the best player of the year and that can't even be disputed, but as it goes achievements and wins counts, just as they do everywhere else.

2015-01-15 21:07

Seriously?Kenny out of top 3? I think top 4,5 are not better when KennyS.

2015-01-15 21:08

AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH HLTV STRIKES AGAIN

2015-01-15 21:09

fuck you fucking hltv and shit xtrfy

2015-01-15 21:09

GTR above kennyS in 2014 pretty much sums it up

2015-01-15 21:11

Really expected. The guy is/was a beast, but Titan underperformed all year around and didn't even participate in a major (not his fault, though). Makes perfect sense. But I can imagine if he was in LCDC, for example, in second half of the year. He would be top3, no doubt. Assuming he would keep this level of play. Top5 will be a mixture of players of Fnatic, Vp and NiP, teams that won more money and big awards.

2015-01-15 21:11

no LDLC players in top 7 , KennyS 6 , hum ok pretty much reliable

2015-01-15 21:12

OMG all these stats

2015-01-15 21:15

and forest should be top3 or top4

2015-01-15 21:19

he should be top3

2015-01-15 21:20

best player in this year and he is number #6 XD nice hltv, now im waiting for getright top1 XD

2015-01-15 21:21

HAHAHAHA What a freaking joke. It's barely believable that you guys actually let KennyS out of the top3, let alone the top5!! It's really ridiculous, it's almost like someone is hating on KennyS.

2015-01-15 21:23

He has number 1 statistics on so many maps.. And he is 6th?

2015-01-15 21:23

deserved more...teamcarrier

2015-01-15 21:25

Rofl, 6th.

2015-01-15 21:25

kennys is outside top 5th, and pasha is in it. lurppis you are a joke, you were in 1.6 and you still are in csgo.

2015-01-15 21:25

pasha is luv, pasha is life and pasha deserved it. Try to remind yourself 1st 6 months of the year and then he had really good results in 2nd half

2015-01-15 21:29

In short, Shut the fuck up.

2015-01-15 21:53

In short, I expected sth like this from such a limited person :) peace

2015-01-15 22:08

lol kenny should be 2nd at worst

2015-01-15 21:33

Please guys, you need to understand, you can't be the best player of the year if you achive close to NOTHING in tournaments/LANs...

2015-01-15 21:36

And you have to understand that it's a ranking of 20 best players, based on individual skills. Well, at least it should be.

2015-01-15 21:59

Kenny top 3 player :(

2015-01-15 21:36

hheheheh I said kennyS max 5-6 ;p

2015-01-15 21:36

hahaha what? worst ranking ever! Pasha better than kennyS? lol

2015-01-15 21:37

6th is fitting for him. It would have been a disaster if we would have seen a guy that never is close to winning any good tournament be top5.

2015-01-15 21:39

top 6? are you kidding? yeah, and GTR will be top1 ofc kappa by hltv

2015-01-15 21:42

LOL, this is so wrong.

2015-01-15 21:43

TOP 2-3 at least ofc. pasha and gtr better than kennys is omg

2015-01-15 21:43

2015-01-15 22:00

he is total badass but results :/

2015-01-15 21:44

Terrible, HLTV.org has lost all credibility to me, absolutely clueless as far as it comes to CS:GO and CS:GO ranking. ..And i thought that some of the people in the community were stupid. And please, go ahead, ban me for this ; be a terrorist :)

2015-01-15 21:51

2015-01-15 22:01

TIL "TOP 20 Player of 2014" meant how many medals you can put on your penis

2015-01-15 22:02

TIL "TOP 20 Player of 2014" meant how many medals you can put on your penis while performing like the star of your team. kennys played failed and performed subpar when it really matters.

2015-01-15 22:06

Performance > Medals That's like saying Ibrahimovic is worse than some lucky twat in the reserves that did **ck all when his team won the Champions League just because Ibrahimovic didn't win it.

2015-01-15 22:12

HLTV was ever actually credible?

2015-01-16 09:52

wtf is wrong with hltv kennys number one of people hearts :)

2015-01-15 21:53

flusha #1 confirmed!

2015-01-15 21:57

Even if they say he doesn't deserve #1 solely for the reason that his TEAM isn't good enough, he's n1 in 3 maps, n1 in kills,awp kills and entrys. How on earth do you rank such a skilled(imo THE BEST) player ranked at 6! This is outrageous HLTV I don't know what you guys we're thinking putting him not even in the top 3.

2015-01-15 21:59

KennyS love KennyS life.

2015-01-15 21:59

It's incredible how such a talented player who had a grate indivdual season finish 6th. Until this point I had been pfor the most part agreeing with this top 20, but in my opinion KennyS should've been at least 3rd, if not 2nd.

2015-01-15 22:00

GTR #1 predictable and overrated

2015-01-15 22:04

What the fuck? Screw team achievements, in terms of individual ability kennyS is far above anyone else at the moment. Not his fault Titan sucks lol

2015-01-15 22:08

r you fuking kidding me ? if ScreaM is not nr 1 ( because not his year ) then kennyS totally number 1 comon MANN

2015-01-15 22:19

I'm sorry but flusha, JW, Pasha, Snax have not performed better than kenny

2015-01-15 22:20

#1 Dust2 rating #1 Inferno rating #1 Mirage rating #1 T-side rating #1 T-side entry-kills #1 AWP kills per round #1 Entry duels won #1 Kills per round #1 Rounds with more than one kill but 6th HLTV joke? ranking individual or ? rename title for: ranking joke ever or ranking team

2015-01-15 22:33

Pretty easy to get good stats if your teams's strategy is built around giving one player lots of frags instead of actually winning.

2015-01-15 22:35

This.

2015-01-15 23:30

giving him frags...ahahaha :D try making 1 of those shots my friend...just one :D

2015-01-16 00:41

JW can make any of those shots blindfolded, against better teams (for example NiP or LDLC, not Vox Eminor), and with a team that is actually good instead of just baiting for him. Pasha is also on the same or higher level. Which is why both of them will be above KennyS in the ranking.

2015-01-16 00:53

Pasha plays gave victory to VP but if You compare raw skills then KennyS is better for sure :P

2015-01-16 01:02

+1 someone who gets it.

2015-01-16 12:18

gg noobs

2015-01-15 22:35

Top 3: flusha GTR JW confirmed for retarded swede bs

2015-01-15 22:36

funny cause JW/Pasha would admit in a second that kenny should be ranked way above them lol

2015-01-15 22:38

expected

2015-01-15 22:47

kennys puts the schrub in scrub Kappa

2015-01-15 23:04

Fifflaren will be #1, mark my words.

2015-01-15 23:09

since it's personal performance kennyS is amazing and the reason why titan wins he should be top 3

2015-01-15 23:21

wins in groupstages? Then?

2015-01-15 23:37

this is nuts kennyS should be top 3 at minimum

2015-01-15 23:21

u know i know my shit

2015-01-15 23:22

seeing the idiots here arguing with the people on hltv.org, who have been in cs journalism and analysis for like 10 years and insist they know better is fucking hilarious

2015-01-15 23:24

Just look at his fucking rating guys, he deserves a spot in heaven.

2015-01-15 23:25

hes a top 5 player... but his team is not top 5.. they won 1 event in 2014... lots of 5-8th finishes...

2015-01-15 23:26

yes he is

2015-01-15 23:29

just put kennyS on a team like fnatic/ldlc/dignitas and kenny would be best player in the world he needs his teammates to step up and control situations more solidly...

2015-01-15 23:29

everyone from sweden is

2015-01-15 23:31

fck KennyS! Guardian is LOVE <3

2015-01-15 23:35

hltv.org=fail.org

2015-01-15 23:40

This is individual achievement list, so no surprise here. You can play cheater-like but as long as it gives You nothing more than good statistics - You have failed. That said KennyS performance had huge impact on his team...

2015-01-15 23:40

2 guys from VP in top 5.. Whoever create this list... I don't want to insult you m8, but you did a really bad job.. kennyS was top 2, shox and f0rest were top 5-6 100 %... Pita said it well, not everything is in numbers. EDIT: top 5 imo should be (from the guys who are left): jw get_right flusha pasha snax but it will probably be: pasha snax jw flusha get_right

2015-01-15 23:49

amusing how 90% of the ppl didnt even read or understood what the ranking is based on. "suprisingly" most dumb comments are made by ppl from random countries you'd imply a low education level. you cant be the best player in the world if your team is not even close to the very best teams. hes playing amazingly, but as long as hes not in a team with other elite players, he wont go to the very top - and i dont see titan improving that much with their actual lineup, they just rely on kennys being godlike.

2015-01-15 23:50

thats why its an individual ranking and not a team ranking, ofc winning should be worth something, but the best attacker in football can come from the worst team in the league theoratically, it shouldnt be impossible to be placed higher if ure by far the best performaner in 2014. despite that titan did win an event and attender several others and is clearly a top8 team, ure talking about it as titan is top50 at best

2015-01-16 00:12

if its a team progress through the year, WHY LDLC's best player is 8th? if its players stats only, kennyS should be #1 or #2 at max! a lot of fail ranks tbh! HLTV rank should be way better than xtfy ones!

2015-01-15 23:50

Kenny is a top 3 player. Because of not attenting som events like DH etc.he deserve this place. I`am sure he will be top 3 this year IF the team helps him. IF we look at esea last lans he played alone. I think any team in the world would love to have him.

2015-01-15 23:59

Not even top 10 in my book

2015-01-16 00:09

by Xtrfy = gtr top 1

2015-01-16 00:10

Snax number 1 ! ||:D

2015-01-16 00:14

Je suis Kenny S.

2015-01-16 00:26

What the fuck are the writers smoking? Must be some strong kush they've got there, man

2015-01-16 00:38

just wanna say: IN YOUR FACE. IN YOUR FUCKING FACE BLIND FANBOYS. KENNYS #6. IN YOUR FACE

2015-01-16 00:44

Not blind he is literally the best in everything, just because he couldn't carry the 3 bots to a major final in whatever team he was in doesn't mean he should be ranked less. His individual skill level > all

2015-01-16 01:17

he is the 6th best in everything

2015-01-16 01:21

1.32 Dust2 rating (#1), 1.25 Inferno rating (#1), 1.28 Mirage rating (#1), 1.15 T-side rating (#1), 0.13 T-side entry kills (#1), 0.44 AWP kills per round (#1), 61% entry duels won (#1), 0.86 kill per round (#1), 53% rounds with 1+ kill (#1)

2015-01-16 01:41

those are just numbers. i only read the titles and he is the 6th best in the world

2015-01-16 01:46

i wonder how many #1 top 5-1 have...probably much less. this list makes no sense at all

2015-01-16 02:53

what a shame, he should at least be in top 5

2015-01-16 01:02

Deserved at least top5 IMO! but not bad

2015-01-16 01:04

what a joke

2015-01-16 01:27

he deserved top 3 minimum

2015-01-16 01:29

deserveded

2015-01-16 01:31

last 5 players on the list in random order Flusha jw get_right pasha snax

2015-01-16 01:51

Idk shouldn't it be "best player" in terms of individual skill and talent? KennyS was clearly the best "PLAYER" of the year, his performances and everything he brought to the table was clearly sensational...eh... #1 should be pasha or snax

2015-01-16 01:59

These rankings are full of fail. Also, boring as hell to read.

2015-01-16 02:04

What a notable stats... wOw 3 map top 1 and many more top 1... Insane player. What he needs is just good support from teammates to win the tournaments...

2015-01-16 02:43

Lmao all those fangays saying kennys #1

2015-01-16 02:46

top20 list of 2014 confirmed for bullshit

2015-01-16 02:48

he was best fragger of the year but not even top5 player of the year? who are the retards that make this list? you say his team didn't do that well this year but you are listing best players here not best teams. retards.

2015-01-16 02:50

Kenny "kennyS" Schrub displayed a very high level of play throughout 2014, but it led to little success for his teams and therefore he ended up 6th on our Top 20 players of 2014 ranking presented by Xtrfy. Individually Kenny "kennyS" Schrub was by far the most impressive player of the year, but on the other hand his great play led to barely any achievements. srsly why do they call the list top20 players then ?! who are xtrfy and why are such retards allowed to publish articles here ?

2015-01-16 03:05

"Why is he the 6th best player of 2014? Individually Kenny "kennyS" Schrub was by far the most impressive player of the year, but on the other hand his great play led to barely any achievements." so this is team ranking not player ranking.

2015-01-16 02:58

.86 kpr for the year, jesus christ

2015-01-16 03:08

yeah kennys has dominated the whole year... MAKES NO SENS HE WOULD BE TOP 1. Fuckin kennys fanbois

2015-01-16 03:17

"Individually Kenny "kennyS" Schrub was by far the most impressive player of the year" ISNT THAT WHAT YOURE RANKING? WTF?

2015-01-16 03:36

pasha > kenny. Cya guys im going to suicide to my russian bros outside bombing everywhere pce =D

2015-01-16 03:54

un-expected -_- so Pasha top5 confirmed :D:D:D hltv is doing a great job, kids only talk trash

2015-01-16 04:46

sry hltv, but dont call your ranking "Top 20 players of 2014" when your ranking is about team achievements.

2015-01-16 05:16

No, its about individual players skill giving achievements to team. KennyS skill is very high, but failed to give to his team big wins...

2015-01-16 08:37

sorry that he can't 1v5 every fucking round

2015-01-16 09:17

only 6? fuck this list of yours..

2015-01-16 05:27

Dust 2 #1 Mirage #1 Inferno #1 T-Side #1 Entry duels won #1 AWP kills per round #1 etc. okay, that's why he is no.6 in this list :)

2015-01-16 05:32

What a joke

2015-01-16 05:38

a cheated player that valve failed to catch

2015-01-16 05:39

nice!

2015-01-16 07:22

KennyS actually deserve a better number because he carry his teammates...That is a really tough job

2015-01-16 07:40

Dat ratings. Still unofficial top 1. When hltv decides to make a player ranking instead of a team one he'll get his spot.

2015-01-16 08:29

This list is paid and made by XTRFY. There will be no Fnatic in top 5. The top 5 will be: 5: Maikelele 4: Xizt 3: Friberg 2: F0rest 1: GTR You heard it here first Nice try HLTV, but everyone can see this list is bought by XTRFY.

2015-01-16 08:47

Maikelele does not deserve top5

2015-01-16 08:57

Exactly, but since this list is sponsored by XTRFY, he probably will be. This list has already proven to be shit so.

2015-01-16 10:28

where is JW? he will be entry no 1

2015-01-16 08:57

Okey to put an argument against the kennyS lovers. KennyS was in titan, titan sucked and didnt do well. KennyS leaves titan and shoxie joins, titan does a lot better. Problem is even though kennyS is amazing individually, he makes his teams very 1 dimensional. This game is about the improvements you make to the team not individual stats.

2015-01-16 10:35

Well kennyS truly is the best CS player at the moment, but let's assume he is top1 in this ranking. What would conversation of Kenny's fanboy and someone who has no clue about Counter Strike look like then. - Who is the best player in CS:GO? - O man kennyS for sure! His skills are sick! - how many lans have he won in his career? - Well 2 I think. - Out of how many? - I don't know, like 20 or something. - What? so how is he the best without winning tournaments? - His skills man, he is carrying so hard! - carrying hard, but not to victories? - Who cares dude?! His skill though... ;)

2015-01-16 10:48

2015-01-16 12:58

2015-01-16 13:01

i would totally agree, but AS FOR SKILLS he has the best skills ever , but for the teams NO , maybe it's his prob that he doesn't fit in any other teams because they are like , not much in his level .

2015-01-21 13:32

Joke of a LIST

2015-01-16 10:49

youtu.be/o4_z0ZHaCnw

2015-01-16 10:54

kenny s good!

2015-01-16 11:25

I expected the Kennys in top 5

2015-01-16 11:40

stupid rankings.... he is like easily number 1...

2015-01-16 12:37

5. snax 4. flusha 3. pasha 2. getright 1. jw ? wait what?

2015-01-16 12:44

LOL phuck ratings

2015-01-16 13:10

no. 1

2015-01-16 13:21

U fucktards want a top 1 guy without fuckin play offs stage in major. HLTV AT IT FINEST.

2015-01-16 13:48

biceps is always with u

2015-01-16 14:41

lol, fuck these rankings. kennys should easily be 1st. why the hell would you put him in 6th? he performed incredibly well and u can't deny that just because his TEAM was not successful. if this really is about who's the best PLAYER (as it is written in the title) kennys deserves 1st. probably the least meaningful ranking i've seen yet.

2015-01-16 15:29

This is so stupid. Alex Ovechkin hasn't won anything with Capitals and is still considered as a top 3 hockey player.

2015-01-16 16:08

Reading fanboys' comments on HLTV could give you cancer nowadays. True story!

2015-01-16 16:46

Gj kenny. :D

2015-01-16 16:51

TOP1!

2015-01-16 17:32

top1 not 6.

2015-01-16 18:03

imo kennys deserve a higher #rank but seems like the swedes got the top of the list? '-'

2015-01-16 18:11

thats why f0rest is #7?

2015-01-16 19:55

Never said that f0rest deserves the #7 spot either.

2015-01-16 20:18

"seems like the swedes got the top of the list?"

2015-01-16 22:02

we got some swedes left don't we?xd

2015-01-16 22:03

fac dis top

2015-01-16 18:25

this mosquito is a beast, top1 for sure

2015-01-16 22:37

fail fail fail.

2015-01-17 06:12

Gj from KennyS

2015-01-17 10:48

so if u put messi in Tottenham and they win nothing he isnt the best player anymore?

2015-01-17 21:10

You can bet your nose that if Messi were to play for Tottenham next season, only in Premier League where they'd finish 5th again, he would get 0 world awards no matter how he plays. Remember Suarez in 2013-14 with Liverpool? He was pretty much godlike in Premier League, like kennyS was in Titan in smaller events. But he didn't play at the biggest stages, in Champions League, so he has precisely 0 big awards, only the Premier League ones. These things are hard to separate for the average fan, but the stage you play at matters. If you don't have great performances at the biggest of stages, you cannot be considered one of the best in the world. That doesn't take away from his skill, or potential to do that next year, but he didn't do it in 2014, no matter how well he played in the smaller events.

2015-01-18 13:43

Well.. Ronaldo didnt get out of the groups in world cup and he still won ballon d'or. The year before that he didnt win either champions league or la liga but he still won ballon d'or.

2015-01-19 00:32

But it's not the fact that kennyS missed out on one major, it's that he missed out on ALL of them, and a few other big stages (didn't even play semis or final at ESWC, Cph Games, DH Summer, FACEIT). He simply didn't do enough in 2014. Ronaldo had his crazy times in the biggest football "major" Champions League, breaking the goal record and winning it. He also scored a ton of goals in Primera on top of that. It's not that one thing brings kennyS down, it's that there are none that can bring him up over any of the players who did win much more and played as stars at all the biggest stages.

2015-01-19 00:41

What about 2013 when he neither won champions league or even la liga and still won ballon d'or? He didnt win shit that year and still won ballon d'or.

2015-01-19 03:36

He was still the top scorer of CL, wasn't he? Made it to the semi, was a close second in Primera. I guess the football experts deemed that no one who achieved more (and you can only achieve slightly more in football as there aren't many tournaments going around) didn't impress as much, like Ribery or Robben who won the CL that year. Also let's not forget that Ballon d'Or is for the calendar year, so it doesn't take whole seasons into account, and Ronaldo had smth like 60-70 goals in 2013 far ahead of everyone (including Messi), while not falling behind in achievements so much.

2015-01-19 10:59

Being the topscorer for one season can be compared to what kennyS did this year. He was the topscorer statsvise 2014 and Ronaldo was the topscorer statswise 2013 (in individual stats) hence why he won the price for the best player. Not falling behind in achivements? Copy del ray : Barcelona #1 La Liga : Barcelona #1 Champions league : Bayern #1 Club world cup : Bayern #1 As im saying he didnt win anything other than individual score. You're saying that he won the award because the experts thought he was the most impressing? You're saying that the majority wouldnt say that kennyS was the most impressing player of 2014? Im not 100% disagreeing with you because not playing dhw is a solid argument for not putting him at top 1 but how his skills couldnt put him at top 3 is beyond my understanding.

2015-01-19 12:38

No it cannot be compared to what kennyS did because Ronaldo was the top scorer in the MOST ELITE competition. kennyS didn't even play in the playoffs of any major. There's your difference. And yes, Ronaldo didn't fall behind in achievements as much as kennyS did (not even close, and like I said consider that football only has a handful of competitions). He was basically at least in a top3 team in the world in 2013 (and again consider it's about the calendar year with ballon d'or, not season, and he started destroying in the first half 2013-14 with smth like 30 goals) And like I said you have to impress at the biggest stages, which kennyS didn't do in 2014. Skills have nothing to do with it, either for the Ronaldo or kennyS story, it's about performance, and more importantly performance at the biggest stages.

2015-01-19 12:46

The thing imo is that kennyS did those stats in champions league. They just lost many games and got out soon, but he got the kills and stats against great teams as well. Anyway, since that's your rating style, and it's your rating, it is the right way for you. Anyone up to do as much work to rank players can do their own rankings ofc ^^

2015-01-19 00:29

But he didn't, that's the point. It's like he played only in the local league (a good one like Premier, you also meet some of the best teams there), but never did it in Champions League. Like I described in the article, even though he seemingly has good stats at majors, he actually has terrible stats in the two deciding matches for his teams, the ones that could have brought them into playoffs. And also like I said above, he didn't even play in the big matches of other big tournaments, not just the majors. All he has to show for is two final appearances (Gfinity - a solid event, and DH Stockholm - event with only 8 teams with half of the big ones missing) and two consolidation finals at SLTV events, which don't really mean that much. So yea, he met good teams here and there, but not as often as the guys above him. And he never did something as special as pasha in Katowice, or as Snax at the majors, or as JW in the 5 finals fnatic won, so he didn't stand out at the big stages in any way. He just cannot be considered player of the year without those things, no matter how much skill and quality play he shows.

2015-01-19 00:47

He need to me first!

2015-01-18 22:46

good AWPER
