Age: 22

Stats from major LAN tournaments in 2010:
Just like the rest of the current Natus Vincere lineup, Yegor "markeloff" Markelov wasn't considered an international star in the time that led to the formation of the Ukrainian top team at the end of 2009. However, he was considered one of the best Ukrainian players for quite a while, so including him in that team which had the highest goals wasn't unexpected. Prior to that, he hadn't achieved any notable international success, so what followed in 2010 was quite a ride for both him and his team.
After the way Markelov performed at his first tournament in 2010, the IEM4 European Championship Finals, probably no one predicted big things for him during the year. He put up a string of average performances and didn't get himself noticed in any way on KerchNET's path to 5th place, only being the team's 4th best player. However, he didn't disappoint either as he recorded a 1.03 rating, even though that would end up being his worst tournament of the year. He also showed good signs of his awp skills, recording 74 kills and having a great awpKPR of 0.26.
At their next tournament, Arbalet Cup Asia that took place in Kazakhstan, Markelov played much better while his team managed to win their first title of the year. He ended up with a 1.15 rating (3rd best in the team), playing well in practically every match, especially in the group stage encounter against TyLoo when he outawped his opponents 17-1.
However, that was not even close to his best, as he would then explode at the tournament with the biggest prize purse of the year, IEM4 World Championship ($100,000). Na´Vi managed to win this prestigious tournament and Markelov was instrumental on their way to success. He finished with a 1.26 rating, only slightly behind his teammate Sukhariev, while also being by far the best awper of the tournament with an impressive 0.38 awpKPR. He was also super consistent, with 11 of 12 maps rated above 1.00. He excelled on several different occasions, starting with their opening match against compLexity, where he posted 23 awp kills and a 31-9 score, and then another 20 awp kills against WeMade FOX. Later he also shined in the semi-final against EG where he was the top rated player during the 2 maps, especially doing well in the second one with a 29-15 score in a close 16-13 win. In addition to that, he won 8 1vsX rounds for his team during the event. So with all of those things considered, his overall performance could definitely be deemed MVP-worthy, even though no official award was given.

A month later, Arbalet Cup Best of Four was held in Kiev, and Na´Vi managed to finish first once more in front of SK and fnatic, this time on their home turf. Markelov had an excellent tournament, recording a 1.27 rating, the best of all players. He also used the big green brilliantly, finishing with 0.27 awp kills per round, much more than his closest follower. This time official awards were given and Markelov was expectedly named the Best AWP of the tournament. He was also the most consistent player of the event, having a rating above 1.00 in 13 of 15 maps, as well as the best clutcher, winning an impressive 13 rounds when left alone.
Another Arbalet Cup followed in May, this time one dubbed Europe and held in Stockholm, Sweden. Na´Vi played brilliantly until the final, where they were defeated by fnatic after 3 maps, while Markelov had another great performance finishing with a 1.18 rating (4th best at the event). He was again incredibly consistent playing well in 10 of his 11 maps with ratings above 1.00 and was also again amazing with the AWP, having 0.31 awp kills per round, which was recognized by the tournament organizers as he received another trophy for the Best AWP. He particularly excelled with the big green in the second map of the final against fnatic, as he outawped the Swedes 21-1 in his team's 16-12 victory which brought the overall score to 1-1.
DreamHack Summer followed in June, another event held in Sweden, and it turned out to be the worst one of the year for the Ukrainians, as they were knocked out at the quarter-final by SK Gaming after two extremely close maps. Markelov didn't excel this time, having a solid 1.07 rating without any really good or bad performances. This was also the tournament where he used his awp the least in the entire year, only recording 23% of his kills with it (0.15 awpKPR), which ended up with a not so good outcome for Na´Vi.
The chance for redemption came soon, as only around ten days later, Na´Vi traveled to France for ESWC. They managed to win another very prestigious event, overcoming none other than SK Gaming in the final and taking revenge for the DreamHack Summer defeat. Markelov finished with an excellent 1.26 rating, the best of his team and 5th best at the event, while having another impressive awp performance (0.32 awpKPR). He was again incredibly consistent with 11 of 12 maps rated above 1.00. But most importantly he excelled when it mattered most, being the top rated during the semi-final against mTw and during the final against SK, putting up some incredible performances. In the 3rd map against mTw, he finished with a score 21-4, while later he outawped SK 30-1 during the first two maps of the final. He also had 3 aces during the tournament, two of them in the final against SK. All of that made him the best candidate for the MVP of ESWC, which the users of our site voted him to be after the tournament.

A trip overseas followed, as Na´Vi attended Arbalet Cup Dallas and continued their winning ways by defeating mousesports in the final and winning the tournament with the second highest prize purse of the year ($80,000). Markelov performed great again, this time as the second best in his team with a 1.20 rating. The award for the Best AWP slipped through his hands this time, although it wouldn't have been undeserved if he did get it, as he shared the best awpKPR of the event (0.26). His best performance came in the semi-final when he recorded scores of 17-7 in the 2nd and 22-8 in the 3rd map against EG.
Upon their return to Europe, Na´Vi immediately took part in GameGune, where they finished 3rd after defeats to Frag eXecutors and fnatic. Despite the team's underachievement compared to the previous couple of events, Markelov recorded his best rating of the year, an incredible 1.43, while having his best ever DPR (0.46 deaths per round). His awp continued in the same manner as in Dallas, having a 0.26 awpKPR, although this time the third best at the event. He also managed to have a rating above 2.00 on 3 different occasion, including matches against dignitas and k1ck.
Right after the Spanish event, Na´Vi traveled to China for IEM5 Global Challenge Shanghai. They ended up in 3rd place once more, while Markelov had another good performance overall (1.16 rating). He was top rated in three maps, of which his best one was during the group stage draw against TyLoo as he recorded a 31-18 score, of which 20 were awp kills.
Markelov also led his national team to 2nd place in ASUS ENC, as he was their best rated player with a 1.10 rating. Even though he didn't impress often, he still had some good performances including the match in the semi-final against Russia, where he had one of his best highlights of the year during the second map, winning a 1vs4 situation:

Their second trip to China followed in the beginning of November, when they took part in WEM. Na´Vi ended up in 4th place, while Markelov played well in every match, especially in the one against Evil Geniuses when he recorded a 25-5 score in their 16-3 win. That helped him earn a 1.27 rating, the best of all players at the event.
Markelov also performed very well during the online stage of IEM5 European Championship, as Na´Vi qualified for the LAN Finals without any trouble. He was the team's best rated player with a 1.23 rating, only slightly ahead of the rest. He had several great performances, while the best one was against .no when he put up a 27-10 score in the 2nd map.
At the end of November, the last tournament of the year awaited and it was the third visit to Sweden by Na´Vi, this time for DreamHack Winter. They finally managed to come out as winners, defeating mTw in the final. Markelov was his team's second best player with a great 1.20 rating, but more importantly his AWP has never been more influential. He recorded an astonishing 0.46 awp kills per round (58% of his kills at the tournament), his highest of the year, having more than 10 kills with the big green in 6 of his 11 maps.
3 amazing awp kills against fnatic
Conquering the world out of nowhere is definitely a dream of many new teams, and Markelov and the rest of Na´Vi give those teams hope that anything can happen within a year, or even a few months. At the end of 2009 they were just another new Ukrainian top team, and now one year later they are all considered world class players in a world class team.
During 2010, Markelov was the most consistent player, having an astonishing 80% of his matches with at least a 1.00 rating. He also had by far the most kills with the AWP (1042, which was 296 more than the closest follower), along with an impressive average of 0.30 awp kills per round (although at this he was 2nd best, as Michael "Friis" Jørgensen had an even more impressive 0.38 awpKPR). Markelov was also the 2nd best entry fragger, just slightly behind Heldt from mTw and far in front of the rest. He also showed during a few tournaments that he is one of the best clutchers (8 1vsX rounds won at IEM4 World Championship and 13 at Arbalet Best of Four).
In addition to his killing abilities, a special mention must be given to his unbelievably low death rate of 0.53 DPR, which means he survived 47% of the rounds he played, making him by far the hardest to kill of all players. Particularly impressive is that he managed to survive in more than 50% of rounds in 3 major tournaments (IEM4 World Championship, Arbalet Europe and GameGune), something that no other player did so many times, probably in the history of the game and certainly in 2010.
He had 12 notable top three finishes during the year, including 7 titles at international tournaments. The most impressive ones were of course IEM4 World Championship, ESWC and WCG, along with Arbalet Cup Dallas, DreamHack Winter, Arbalet Cup Best of Four and Arbalet Cup Asia.
As far as personal achievements go, he received two Best AWP awards for his performances with the big green at Arbalet Cup Best of Four and Arbalet Cup Europe. More importantly, even though unofficially, he was the MVP of the three biggest tournaments of the year – IEM4 World Championship, ESWC and WCG.
In conclusion, Markelov was the most consistent player and the most successful awper along with many other impressive stats; he was the best at the most important tournaments and played excellent in many important matches. With all that considered, he was the obvious choice for the 1st place on our Top 20 players of 2010 list.

Next in our Top 20 players of 2010 series is a player who has thanks to his performances during the year in the end earned himself a call to join fnatic. It's Richard "Xizt" Landström who gets the 18th place, the best player from Lions in 2010 and one of the brightest rising stars in the scene.
Basic information
Player: Richard "Xizt" Landström
Teams: H2k, Lions
Age: 19
Team achievements in 2010:
Stats from major LAN tournaments in 2010:
Last year started rather quietly for Richard "Xizt" Landström as he was a member of Begrip at that time and probably didn't expect the rest of the year to develop for him as it did. Landström ended up being the only constant in a team that was part of 2 other organizations, as he played with 11 different teammates throughout his 2010 campaign.
While some other players and teams were already preparing for, and taking part in, the early big tournaments, Landström and his team were only about to get their real chance by signing for H2k at the end of February.
Their first opportunity to prove themselves came in April as they visited one of the world's biggest LAN events, The Gathering in Norway, although without many prestigious names in attendance there. H2k finished 3rd at the event while Landström had a solid performance with a 1.08 rating, doing well especially in their 3rd place decider against Playzone.fi.
Next time we saw him in action was at the Swedish Championship where H2k won their tickets to Paris and ESWC. Defeating the likes of MYM in the semi-final and Playzone.se in the final meant they were assuring themselves to be the 3rd best team in Sweden, while Landström was the team's best player at the event.
After that the first next big tournament came along in May, Arbalet Cup Europe, but H2k had to attend it with a stand-in. They didn't make it past the first group stage but Landström played well in all 3 of their matches.
In the mean time during a period from April to June, H2k were taking part in EPS Nordic II online and even though they finished at a low 8th place, Landström was again the team's best player and was even the 6th best rated overall at the event (1.12 rating)
Lineup changes followed as H2k added 3 new players, but Landström stayed along with his long-time teammate Markus "pronax" Wallsten. DreamHack Summer was to be the first big test for the new lineup and it would prove to be their breakthrough tournament as they finished 2nd behind mTw. Landström also got his big break at this tournament by proving himself against fnatic in the quarter-final as the team provided a big surprise. He didn't shine in the rest of the tournament, but having the best rating (1.29) in 2 maps of a quarter-final against fnatic at a major tournament was enough to now make him a part of the big leagues.

Not even a couple of weeks passed and it was time for another big tournament for H2k as they attended ESWC, although they again had to use a stand-in just like a few months earlier at Arbalet Europe. They were a bit more succesfull this time, dropping out at the second group stage and only due to worse round difference and after some controversy. Landström was his team's best player overall with a very good 1.14 rating.
Shortly after ESWC, one of the most prestigious online tournaments of the year took place – fnatic PLAY BEAT IT finals. H2k overcame the likes of Cheap Times, Frag eXecutors and in the final mTw to win the 1st place, while Landström was the best player of the tournament. He finished with a 1.23 rating and he especially stood out in the quarter-final against Cheap Times. He had what was probably his match of the year against the Danes, posting a 30-19 score in the 1st map and then an astonishing 39-15 in the 3rd map. During the first map on de_train he also made his highlight round of the year, an ace while on a full-eco round.
The next tournament was Arbalet Cup Dallas where Landström was again on top of his form with a 1.14 rating, but more importantly again shining in some important matches. This time it was against SK in the quarter-final where he tipped the scales to his team's favor with 30-20 and 29-21 scores in the 2nd and 3rd map as they won each 16-14. He followed that up later in the 3rd place decider match having a 33-19 score in the first map versus Evil Geniuses in another 16-14 win, but sadly it wasn't enough as they lost the next two maps and finished 4th.
WCG Nordic took place a couple of weeks later and Landström had a solid tournament with a 1.06 rating, but was still the 7th best rated player overall as the team finished 4th. He had another good performance against SK in the semi-final of the tournament, with a 34-24 score in his team's overtime loss on the first map.
In mid-August after some turbulence with the H2k organization, Lions jumped in and signed Landström and his team, although leaving out the only teammate he had left from the begging of the year, Wallsten. Their first tournament as part of the Lions organization was ASUS Summer in Kiev where they finished 1st and Landström had his best tournament rating of the year (1.28) without a bad performance in any match and finishing as the 2nd best rated player overall.
A trip to China awaited Lions next for the MSI BEAT IT event and Landström had an average showing, with some ups and downs as his team finished 3rd. World Cyber Games followed at the end of September and Lions' participation in one of the biggest tournaments was short-lived as they were knocked out by Na`Vi in the first round of the playoffs. But Landström still managed to leave his mark in the group stage, having a 33-18 score in his team's crucial win versus Evil Geniuses that enabled them to go through the group of death that also featured the French team FACE2FACE.
During the last few months Lions also took part in online competitions EPS Nordic III and IEM5 European Championship. At IEM5 Landström was the team's 2nd best rated player with a 1.14 rating, with several very good performances, including one versus mousesports (32-19) in the second map which went into overtime. The Nordic league went even better for him and his team as they finished 2nd at the LAN finals and Landström the 7th best rated player of the season (1.18 rating).
At the last major LAN event of the year, DreamHack Winter, Landström was his team's second best rated player (1.10 rating), especially shining in their 3rd place decider against Frag eXecutors helping his team to get another top 3 finish at a major event.
Landström played his last match for Lions at DreamHack Winter
In December, he ended up leaving the team whose he was the only constant throughout the year as he received an offer from fnatic which he couldn't refuse. The transfer to the Australian-based organization in itself speaks enough about his progress, as only 12 months ago he was a rather unknown player internationally and is now a part of one of the best teams in the world.
As far as individual achievements go, even though he didn't win any official awards, his performance in the fnatic PLAY BEAT IT tournament could be considered MVP-worthy. And as far his performance at major LANs is concerned, Landström was more often than not his team's best player and also often among the best players of an event overall, with practically no bad performances (event stats history). In addition to that, he had many great individual performances in important matches against big names like fnatic, SK and mTw.
It also might be interesting to mention his great play on de_tuscan as his 1.36 rating on that map really stands out compared to his overall rating 1.10. Only one player has a higher rating on it than him (Andreas "moddii" Fridh), and even he is better only by a small margin, which makes Landström one of world's best players on the map.

Автор ежегодной двадцатки лучших игроков в CS:GO по версии HLTV Петар «tgwr1s» Милованович поделился наброском рейтинга лучших игроков 2009 года. В него вошли Кристофер «GeT_RiGhT» Алесунд, Филип «NEO» Кубски, Михаил «Dosia» Столяров и Иоанн «Edward» Сухарев. Милованович поделился списком в твиттере.
Автор топ-20 сообщил, что составил рейтинг десять лет назад по просьбе Алесунда. Он также отметил, что в распоряжении создателей списка тогда не было всей статистики. По мнению Миловановича, топ-3 не вызывает никаких сомнений, а прочие игроки могли бы оказаться в другом порядке.
Неофициальный топ-20 лучших игроков 2009 года
- Кристофер «GeT_RiGhT» Алесунд (Fnatic)
- Филип «NEO» Кубски (несколько команд) (Fnatic) (Begrip Gaming/Meet Your Makers)
- Антонио «cyx» Данилоски (mousesports)
- Роман «roman» Ауссердорфер (Team ALTERNATE)
- Иоанн «Edward» Сухарев (pro100, DTS, HellRaisers)
- Кристофер «Sunde» Сунде (mTw) (несколько команд) (DTS, HellRaisers) (Fnatic) (Giants, Begrip) (mousesports) (несколько команд)
- Алексей «LeX» Колесников (Virtus.pro) (несколько команд) (TYLOO)
- Чао «GoodRifle» Сюэ (TYLOO) (Fnatic) (Virtus.pro)
Рейтинг HLTV существует с 2010 года. Милованович вспомнил о списке после того, как GeT_RiGhT объявил об окончании карьеры. 16 января Алесунд сообщил, что прекращает выступать на профессиональной сцене CS:GO на неопределенный срок. Игрок подписал соглашение с Team Dignitas и будет работать в организации создателем контента.
20 января процедура завершилась. Были названы два игрока, занявшие 2-е и 1-е места. Победу одержал 19-летний француз Матье «ZywOo» Эрбо из Team Vitality, следом за ним расположился украинец Александр «s1mple» Костылев из Natus Vincere.
1. Матье «ZywOo» Эрбо (Франция, Team Vitality)
2. Александр «s1mple» Костылев (Украина, Natus Vincere)
3. Николай «device» Ридтц (Дания, Astralis)
4. Джонатан «EliGE» Яблоновски (США, Team Liquid)
5. Эмиль «Magisk» Рейф (Дания, Astralis)
6. Денис «electronic» Шарипов (Россия, Natus Vincere)
7. Кит «NAF» Маркович (Канада, Team Liquid)
8. Винсент «Brehze» Кайонте (США, Evil Geniuses)
9. Рассел «Twistzz» Ван Далкен (Канада, Team Liquid)
10. Робин «ropz» Коль (Эстония, mousesports)
11. Никола «NiKo» Ковач (Босния и Герцеговина, FaZe Clan)
12. Озгюр «woxic» Экер (Турция, mousesports)
13. Ере «sergej» Сало (Финляндия, ENCE eSports)
14. Андреас «Xyp9x» Хойслет (Дания, Astralis)
15. Джастин «jks» Сэвэйдж (Австралия, 100 Thieves)
16. Питер «dupreeh» Расмуссен (Дания, Astralis)
17. Фредди «KRiMZ» Йоханссон (Швеция, Fnatic)
18. Цветелин «CeRq» Димитров (Болгария, Evil Geniuses)
19. Людвиг «Brollan» Бролин (Швеция, Fnatic)
20. Итан «Ethan» Арнольд (США, Evil Geniuses).
Год назад s1mple был победителем рейтинга. Тогда вторым стал Николай «device» Ридтц, который в этом году также опустился на одну строку. Примечательно, что ZywOo по итогам 2018 года вообще не вошел в топ-20. Но за прошлый год французский талант совершил невероятный качественный скачок.
Нельзя сказать, что Эрбо взялся из ниоткуда. Уже в 2018 году он начал заявлять о себе. Вот, например, нарезка лучших хайлайтов с его участием на DreamHack Atlanta 2018.
В 2019 году список достижений Эрбо действительно впечатляет и заслуживает первого места. Он получил звание самого полезного игрока (MVP) на 5 турнирах, среди которых cs_summit 4, ESL One Cologne 2019 и EPICENTER 2019 в Москве. ZywOo завершил год со средним рейтингом 1,3 — это лучший результат среди всех киберспортсменов из двадцатки. Он привел свою команду к победам на уже упомянутых турнирах cs_summit 4 и EPICENTER 2019, а также на ECS S7 Finals.
