Best Counter-Strike Players of 2024

As a gamer who has been following CS2 since its inception, I must admit that 2024 was an incredible year for Counter-Strike. The level of skill and consistency displayed by the young guns like Danil “donk” Kryshkovets, Ilya “m0NESY” Osipov, and Mathieu “ZywOo” Herbaut was nothing short of breathtaking.

In the year 2024, it was a nail-biting three-way battle among us gamers to claim the title of the world’s top Counter-Strike 2 player. Two young guns and an experienced veteran were the ones to watch out for, each delivering stellar performances at the most coveted CS2 tournaments throughout the year.

At the conclusion of the Shanghai Major in Perfect World, and therefore wrapping up the CS2 calendar year of 2024, a single name towered above the rest among the top CS2 players.

Best CS2 Players of 2024

Danil “donk” Kryshkovets

In Shanghai’s Shanghai Major tournament, Team Spirit’s 17-year-old player Donk clinched his first Major championship and established himself as the undisputed best CS2 player of 2024. At this event, Donk broke the record for the highest player rating ever achieved at a Major while also becoming the youngest MVP in history. Throughout the year, Donk’s exceptional skills in crosshair placement, crouching, and the “donk slide” coupled with his unwavering confidence have made him nearly invincible. Yet, it seems that Donk has only just begun to showcase his talents.

Ilya “m0NESY” Osipov

2024 saw another exceptional young prodigy, G2’s standout AWPer Ilya “m0NESY” Osipov, shine brightly. Coming off an impressive 2023, m0NESY continued his unabated surge, maintaining the title of the world’s deadliest player with the AWP. His aim and reflexes are outstanding, yet he also demonstrates the strategic acumen of a seasoned veteran. Despite the AWP being his most potent weapon, m0NESY is equally capable of producing stunning moments or clutch plays with a rifle if necessary.

Mathieu “ZywOo” Herbaut

ZywOo seems older than players like donk and m0NESY, who are teenagers, but he’s not just an elder statesman – he’s a prodigy and multiple HLTV Player of the Year winner. Despite his age, he consistently performs as well as his younger competitors at major events throughout the year. In fact, his skill with rifles has even improved since his early career where he excelled with the AWP. ZywOo always rises to the occasion for Team Vitality, and it’s hard to believe that this dominant Counter-Strike player is only 24 years old.
