I think it would help a lot if you could give context to the runners up to some of these records. Just seeing high numbers isnt always translate to how good a record is unless you can see how far above other contenders it is.

[@phsycresconquest6636]

@@Hennerd okay, so I’ve looked him up. Makes sense, he’s had a long career and he seems fairly consistent at a Tier 2 level. The last S-Tier Tournament that shows up on his page is one from 2016 where he was on a team with Michu(EG) who is a Tier 1 player and innocent(Anonymo) who is borderline Tier 1. He has been a tier 2 player for 90% of his career. A serviceable tier 2 player but a tier 2 player none the less. At only 10 LAN appearances over a Ten year career I don’t think the level of competition he was facing Alfie those opening kills is even close to the level JW would have been facing. I think Dev1ce is next highest after him on the list and he would be the thousand difference. Amoungst Tier 1 Players then the distance is a thousand.

[@Hennerd]

@@phsycresconquest6636 I guess if we are comparing tier 1 players then your logic does make sense. However, I argue that Ange1 is only 800 kills away. I guess you could say that 800 is pretty close to 1k and I would have any problem with that. However, Ange1 have played with s1mplr, Oscar, dosia and most importantly, Woxic for a long time. He have won multiple a-tier tournaments and have come as close as 3rd place to a s tier. His team, in s-tier tournaments, have even been ranked the same as the likes of s1mple navi, faze and g2. They have also been ranked higher than fanatic before.

Few interesting CSGO notes, F0rest actually has more kills than Snax (38k to 37.6k), but f0rest is playing at a higher level still. Snax is though right on Shox' tail for clutches; shox with 748 and Snax with 733 (xyp9x with 703). As for headshots; Navis B1T and grux both have a higher headshot % than scream, but much shorter careers.
