The women's CS2 scene is going through tough times, and it's apparent that it's declining. However, even amidst the crisis, there are players who continue to sustain interest in women's esports by delivering outstanding performances. Here, we want to announce the best female player of 2024 in Counter-Strike 2.

How were the best female CS2 players of 2024 determined?

When identifying the best female Counter-Strike 2 player in 2024, we analyzed the statistics of all esports athletes who participated in both final tournaments of the ESL Impact League series. The evaluation considered the player's individual rating, average KDR, DPR, and ADR, as well as championship placements and expert opinions. Each indicator contributed points to the players' scores, which influenced their final ranking position.

#1 Ana "ANa" Dumbrava 

ANa again became the top player on the women's scene in 2024 according to bo3.gg. She had an incredible year, finishing it with a 6.9 rating and 0.79 kills per round.

2024 was a challenging year for the women's CS2 scene. The closure of women's rosters in NAVI and Astralis, as well as the departure of other organizations, create uncertain prospects. The situation is becoming increasingly complicated, and what awaits women's esports in 2025 remains a big question.
