Another month has ended in the competitive Counter-Strike 2 scene. Teams have played numerous tournaments and matches, and they are approaching the summer break. In this article, we will discuss the ten best CS2 players in May 2024.

When forming the top 10 CS2 players in May 2024, we analyzed the statistics of over 100 professional players who participated in ESL Pro League Season 19, BetBoom Dacha Belgrade 2024, CCT Global Finals 2024, and the group stage of IEM Dallas 2024. The calculations considered individual player ratings, average KDR, DPR, and ADR, as well as tournament placements and MVP awards. Points were awarded for each metric, and the total score determined the final ranking.

About the Bo3.gg Rating

Evaluating a player's performance in a CS2 match is a complex task due to the variety of aspects in each round, such as bomb planting or the first kill. Therefore, the optimal approach involves calculating a rating for each round and then summing up the overall score for the entire map.

We believe that Bo3.gg provides the most accurate rating, allowing for easy and convenient evaluation of each player's performance in each round, on each map, and in each match. This rating considers new factors, such as side choice, economic state, and many others previously ignored in ratings. The maximum rating value is 10 points!

#10. Nicolai "dev1ce" Reedtz

dev1ce is still adapting to his new responsibilities in the team, but improvements are already visible. Not only have Astralis' results improved after recent changes in the roster and roles, but the sniper himself is playing at a high level. Under his leadership, the team reached the top 4 at EPL S19 and CCT Global Finals. Nicolai finished the month with an average rating of 6.4.

#9. Jonathan "EliGE" Jablonowski

EliGE is almost the only hope for American CS. He is one of the few players in the world who consistently performs at a high level. Despite this, Complexity's successes are mediocre; however, the team managed to place 3-4 at ESL Pro League. Jonathan's average rating in May was 6.8.

#8. Ludwig "Brollan" Brolin

We have repeatedly noted that after transitioning from Ninjas in Pyjamas to MOUZ, Brollan seemed to breathe new life into his career. May was very successful for both Ludwig and the club — first, the team became champions of EPL S19, and then of BetBoom Dacha Belgrade 2024. The esports player scored an average rating of 6.5.

#7. Russel "Twistzz" Van Dulken

Twistzz is the only member of Liquid's star roster who somewhat meets expectations. His average rating in May was 6.5. At the same time, the team is experiencing failure after failure, and the atmosphere in the team is becoming unbearable.

#6. Ádám "torzsi" Torzsás

Next in our list is another MOUZ player, which is not surprising. torzsi played at his usual level in May, earning an average rating of 6.4.

#5. Dmitry "sh1ro" Sokolov

After a break from the competitive scene, Team Spirit returned to tournaments. First, the team took second place at BetBoom Dacha Belgrade, and then successfully reached the semifinals of IEM Dallas, finishing first in Group B. sh1ro continues to impress with his stability, with a rating of 6.6.

#4. Dorian "xertioN" Berman

xertioN became the best player in the MOUZ roster in May, a team that won two trophies in one month. This is definitely the best period in the career of the Israeli player so far. He finished the month with an average rating of 6.7.

#3. İsmailсan "XANTARES" Dörtkardeş

XANTARES participated in only one top-level tournament with Eternal Fire. However, it was an incredible performance. The best player in the history of Turkish CS single-handedly won the CCT Global Finals. Ismailcan played the tournament with an average rating of 6.9. Considering other high indicators, he deservedly took the third place in our top.

#2. Daniil "donk" Kryshkovets

donk is one of the main contenders for the title of the best player of 2024. It seemed that his incredible performance would fade after a few successful months, but this did not happen. This fact shows that Daniil has caught the wave and is confidently moving towards his goal. donk's average rating in May was 7.2.

#1. Mathieu "ZywOo" Herbaut

The best player of CS2 in May, with an average rating of 7.3, was ZywOo. Vitality's achievements include second place at ESL Pro League and reaching the playoffs at IEM Dallas. The main feature of the French sniper is that if his team is struggling, ZywOo can carry the round against any number of opponents. This year, Mathieu became the best player of the month for the second time. Previously, this happened in January.
