The most decorated player of CS: GO
On August 21, 2012, Counter-Strike: Global Offensive announced its arrival to the world. Since, that time, the title has been played in hundreds of tournaments.
Speaking of tournaments, Astralis’ achievements over the past year are something unreal. But are the members of the Danish team the most decorated ones in CS: GO? This question was answered by co-owner of HLTV.org Peter Tgwri1s Milovanovic on Twitter.
Tgwri1s has published a ranking of professional players, depending on the number of their victories in tournaments. According to Milovanovic, he considered only the championships that HLTV.org displays in the player’s profile. These profiles list some of the most significant achievements of the players which include MVP medals, awards for the top 20 seasons and titles won in prestigious tournaments. So this reference will surely be accepted by the community of CS: GO to answer who has won the most titles.
HLTV x betway MVP winners of the first 5 events in 2019:
🇨🇦 NAF (iBP Masters)
🇸🇰 GuardiaN (ELEAGUE)
🇩🇰 Magisk (IEM Katowice Major)
🇧🇬 SHiPZ (WESG)
🇩🇰 device (BLAST Sao Paulo)Next up will be StarSeries S7 in Shanghai

Xizt the leader
According to the list posted by Tgwri1, Richard Xizt Landström is considered the most decorated player in the history of the competitive landscape. He won 24 notable competitions. But in the list of his awards, 15 titles are dated 2012-2013. While, the veteran Landström – Olof olofmeister Kaibiera holds 23 titles in his profile, the first of which he received for winning ESWC 2014 and SLTV StarSeries X CS: GO. Kaibiera started to play for the top teams a bit later than Xizt. If he had started his career a little bit early then he might very well be sitting at the first spot today. Some might argue on the credibility of the titles won in that era. Since during that time, CS: GO had just arrived in the competitive landscape and not many strong teams were competing. However, stats are stats and one can’t overthrow them.
Tgwri1s also noted Nathan NBK Schmitt as the only Frenchman who won more than 20 competitions. According to him, Schmitt has always played in the top teams of France, and this trend continued with him playing now in Team Vitality.
