In professional Counter-Strike, victories are mostly the result of teamwork. But every so often, one player lifts the squad on their shoulders and carries them to triumph. These performances are so dominant that it’s not the tournament title or the series score that fans remember — it’s the player’s name and their unbelievable rating. We’ve collected ten such moments — performances that exceeded even the highest expectations of the CS elite.
1. Zix — 3.23 (Bpro vs XPC, Gfinity Winter Series 2018 Europe)
Map: Mirage | Score: 16–0 | Series: 2–0
Bpro didn’t just win the series — they obliterated their opponents. Mirage became a symbol of total capitulation. Zix posted 31 kills, 9 opening frags, and a staggering 186 ADR — numbers worthy of a Major MVP. His map control and opponent reading were flawless. It was a match where the skill gap was brutally exposed.
2. woxic — 3.21 (HellRaisers vs AGO, DH Masters Stockholm 2018 — EU Closed Qualifier)
Map: Dust2 | Score: 16–2 | Series: 2–0
HellRaisers didn’t just qualify — they crushed AGO. On the second map, Dust2, woxic delivered a surreal performance: 35 frags, 23 with the AWP, and 191 ADR. It was a career-defining map that marked his rise as one of the region’s most promising snipers. AGO simply had no answers to his pace and precision.
3. WorldEdit — 3.08 (FlipSid3 vs Echo Fox, ELEAGUE Season 1)
Map: Train | Score: 16–2 | Series: Bo1
Back in the early days of ELEAGUE, FlipSid3 ended the match in dominant fashion. Train was the battlefield where WorldEdit annihilated Echo Fox. With 37 kills, 20 AWP frags, and 170.7 ADR, he delivered a masterclass in sniper play. His aggressive defense paired with smart map control made this not just a statistical feat — but a statement.
4. RUBINO — 3.01 (Dignitas vs CLG, ESL One Cologne 2016)
Map: Cobblestone | Score: 16–1 | Series: Bo1 (Group Stage)
In one of the most prestigious Majors, Dignitas sent CLG packing with no chance of redemption. RUBINO wasn’t just sharp — he was lethal. With 32 kills and 176 ADR, he registered the highest impact of any player on the day. His performance was a textbook example of clutch power within a disciplined and structured system.
5. ZywOo — 2.97 (Vitality vs GamerLegion, PGL CS2 Major RMR B 2024)
Map: Nuke | Score: 13–2 | Series: Bo1 (Major Qualifier)
ZywOo once again showed why he’s often in the GOAT conversation. In Major qualification, every map matters. And Vitality didn’t just win — they dominated. ZywOo dropped 24 frags, posted 163.6 ADR, and looked untouchable. There was no panic, no breathing room for the opponent — just clinical, champion-like Counter-Strike.
6. s1mple — 2.77 (NAVI vs MAD Lions, DreamHack Masters Spring 2020)
Map: Mirage | Score: 16–5 | Series: 2–0
The online era didn’t dull NAVI — it sharpened s1mple. With 37 kills, 21 with the AWP, 158 ADR, and a 95% KAST, he dismantled MAD Lions on Mirage. NAVI closed out the series with authority, led by one of s1mple’s finest displays. It wasn’t just a win — it was a warning to the rest of the field.
7. NiKo — 2.70 (FaZe vs ORDER, IEM Katowice 2018)
Map: Mirage | Score: 16–3 | Series: Bo1 (Group Stage)
FaZe entered as favorites — and proved it without hesitation. NiKo, playing as the entry rifler and pace-setter, gave ORDER no room to breathe. With 31 kills, 150.7 ADR, and +26 K/D, this match became a milestone in NiKo’s career. Even as a group-stage Bo1, his dominance spoke volumes: FaZe were here to win.
8. huNter- — 2.66 (G2 vs Imperial, BLAST Open Lisbon 2025)
Map: Mirage | Score: 13–8 | Series: 2–0
G2 sealed both the map and the series largely thanks to huNter-’s monstrous showing. With 36 frags, 163 ADR, and full initiative in every key moment, he took over the server. Crucially, this came in a must-win match for playoff qualification. And it was huNter- who made sure Imperial never had a chance to bounce back.
9. zorte — 2.65 (BetBoom vs Wildcard, CCT Global Finals 2025)
Map: Dust2 | Score: 13–0 | Series: 2–0
A 13–0 in a professional series is almost unheard of. Yet that’s exactly how BetBoom closed the second map against Wildcard. zorte was nearly flawless: 20 kills, 14 AWP frags, and zero major mistakes. BetBoom looked like the tournament favorites, while Wildcard faded completely. This match will go down as one of the most lopsided in CCT history.
10. mOnesy — 2.57 (NAVI Junior vs Young Ninjas, WePlay Academy League S2 Finals)
Map: Mirage | Score: 16–3 | Series: 2–1
It was the grand final. NAVI Junior didn’t start the series well, but they clawed their way back — largely thanks to m0NESY. On the second map, he turned everything around: 32 frags, 15 AWP kills, and 161.5 ADR. This performance marked the end of his academy journey and the beginning of his ascent to the top tier.
These 10 matches aren’t just statistical anomalies — they’re defining moments in CS history. They show that while Counter-Strike is a team game, there’s always room for a player to step up and etch their name into legend. These players didn’t just top HLTV leaderboards — they left an indelible mark on the minds of fans around the world. In the end, teams win titles — but players write history.
