For cs Shroud was not a great pro at all. He was average pro at best, arent this super CLEAR in the cs community? Or its just bunch of shroud fankid coming in with no clue? Cloud9 with him in majors almost didnt won shit, i forgot the major name but they won ONCE and Fnatic wasnt participating whom are at the time the best team..

[@shinydarkrai4620]

Even though i like shroud, He is heavily overrated....mainly because of pubg community. They calls him as the GOD of FPS. Most of these pubg fans thinks that Shroud is the best FPS player ever. Also calls him pro player, while he was only pro at CSGO. And they don't even know the difference between streamer tournaments and pro tournaments. Previous day i even met a fanboy saying - " the reason why Shroud left CSGO is - he became so good that CSGO became boring to him..."

[@oscaronill846]

Great to see love going out to old school 1.6 players. Seem to be almost forgotten with the new generation of players. And can't believe CS has been around long enough to have eras. Shout-out to the ones who have been playing since beta!

Markeloff & Cogu for me. They used to be the best in the world. They tamed the awp so well back in 1.6, and their rifle skills are just insane. Arrg man, those WCB games hits me hard. Good old days.

[@Pingo333]

I would have said Real, he still has a few years left and would be awesome to see him play again.

[@TheBrutalWaffle]

Really good and interesting answer from Styko

[@loveandnapalm]

Rattlesnk was really one of the best tactical minds that could also just completely take over a game with his AWPing and was pretty sick with a rifle as well. If you go back and watch even like Ezskins vs Renegades (which is the last "big" match that he played) check out the pistol round ezskins runs... it's a classic Rattlesnk pistol strat that's pretty much impossible to defend if it's executed correctly. Sadly most of the good UK CSS players were really too old and wrapped up in real life to commit to CSGO, so you'll likely never see a team like Salvo/Dignitas again.

Great player but definitely not someone like neo,f0rest or potti

[@Paulo.Haller]

In his times he was a monster

[@drkrn]

Nah, Spawn was better than Potti, skillwise he was better overall. Then F0rest and NEO are from a different generation of players tbh, it's hard to compare considering that their entry to the scene is at the middle of Spawn's career, and once they're at their peak and looking awesome Spawn is getting close to retirement, even so I would still consider Spawn to be as good of a player for his skill as them. Also, why don't u even mention markeloff, I think he's one of the few that had a better individual skill than Spawn, and if you're not considering the time he joined and started to play then he's the safest bet tbh.

[@DedikateSSB]

Shroud, i know he's just a CS:GO and not Source or 1.6 player but back when shroud was playing CS:GO professionally marked what i thought the golden age of CS:GO was. AND HE WAS A PRO WHO WAS ACTUALLY ENTERTAINING TO WATCH. A close second is NEO, idk if he still plays or not but i never hear about him anymore so i assume he did, but NEO was nasty at 1.6 and i don't just think he's skill wise a top 10 CS player but he's also a top 10 professional gamer overall.
