February was packed with big events like IEM Katowice and PGL Cluj-Napoca. Vitality dominated Katowice, while MOUZ claimed victory in Cluj-Napoca. Some players stood out with incredible performances, leading their teams to success. Here are the 10 best players of the month.

How the Best CS2 Players of February 2025 Were Determined

To determine the best CS2 player of February 2025, we conducted a detailed analysis of all professional players who participated in IEM Katowice and PGL Cluj-Napoca. The evaluation was based on individual statistical metrics, including:

• Player rating
• KDR
• DPR 
• ADR
• Tournament placements
• MVP / EVP awards

About Bo3.gg’s Rating System

Although we reserve the right to keep the Bo3.gg CS2 player rating formula confidential, we are ready to reveal some key elements.

At the core of the rating system is an advanced player evaluation model consisting of eight sub-ratings that assess statistical data, including damage dealt, number of kills, and survival. These metrics are considered in the context of a specific map, side (T or CT), and team economy. To ensure objectivity, a player's stats are compared to the average values on the professional scene under the same conditions.

Each of the eight sub-ratings has a different level of importance. For example, the kill rating has a greater impact on the final score than the survival rating. Based on the individual sub-ratings, a player’s rating is calculated for each round played, then for the entire map and match.

The final player rating is expressed on a scale from 0 to 10, where 0 is the lowest value and 10 is the highest.

#10. torzsi

torzsi had a solid month, helping MOUZ win PGL Cluj-Napoca 2025. This was a huge achievement for him and his team. As the AWPer, he had a strong impact, even though his rating was not the highest at 6.3. His biggest strength was staying alive—his 0.57 deaths per round was the lowest among all top-tier players. He played smart and safe, making a big difference for his team.

#9. Spinx

Spinx played his first tournament with MOUZ and already secured a victory. His rating was 6.4, slightly higher than torzsi’s, even though he played fewer maps since he missed IEM Katowice. In PGL Cluj-Napoca, he had a strong presence, winning key duels and stepping up in crucial rounds. His experience helped MOUZ stay strong under pressure. It was a great start for him in his new team.

#8. flameZ

Vitality’s most aggressive rifler, flameZ, showed great performances this month. He had a 6.6 rating with 0.73 kills per round and 84 ADR. His team won IEM Katowice 2025, and he was a key part of that success. He adapted well to his new role and secured an EVP for his performance. His aggressive playstyle is helping Vitality stay at the top.

#7. XANTARES

XANTARES continues to be the star of Eternal Fire. He had an 85 ADR and a 6.7 rating, proving his importance in the team. Eternal Fire reached the playoffs at both IEM Katowice and PGL Cluj-Napoca. His firepower was crucial in helping the team maintain their spot in the top 10 worldwide. The Turkish squad is improving, and XANTARES is leading the way.

#6. frozen

frozen played a big role for FaZe and earned an EVP for PGL Cluj-Napoca 2025. His rating was 6.5, and he seems more comfortable in the team now. With ropz gone, he has more freedom to play his game. His partnership with EliGE is working well, as the two strongest riflers in FaZe often play together. FaZe finished 4th at PGL Cluj-Napoca, and frozen was a big part of that success.

#5. b1t

b1t secured another EVP for IEM Katowice 2025. He had a 6.9 rating with 87 ADR, showing excellent form. NAVI reached another semifinal, proving they are still one of the top teams. b1t has been one of the most consistent players in 2025 so far. His performances keep NAVI competitive, even against the strongest teams in the world.

#4. ropz

ropz quickly adapted to his new team and already helped Vitality win their first big tournament. He earned an EVP for IEM Katowice 2025 with a 6.7 rating. His impact was especially noticeable in the final, where he played a key role in securing the victory. Vitality’s new lineup is looking strong, and ropz is proving to be a perfect fit.

#3. NiKo

Even though Falcons lost the PGL Cluj-Napoca 2025 final, NiKo was still one of the best players of the month. He had a 6.7 rating, 90 ADR, and even won the MVP award in a losing effort. Falcons finished second at the tournament, but NiKo’s individual performances were outstanding. He is the main reason the team is competitive at the top level right now.

#2. donk

Spirit reached the final of IEM Katowice 2025 but couldn’t win. Still, donk played an incredible tournament. He had a 7.2 rating, 94 ADR, and 0.93 kills per round. These are insane stats for a young player. He earned an EVP for his performance, but in the final, he couldn’t shine as much as before. Even though Spirit struggled, donk remains one of the best players in CS2.

#1. ZywOo

The best player of February was ZywOo. He led Vitality to victory at IEM Katowice 2025 and was named MVP. His rating was 7.4, with 92 ADR, making him the best player of the month. He is in top form, and his chemistry with ropz is already showing great results. Right now, he is the best player of the year so far, and his dominance continues.

This ranking shows how the best players in the world performed in February. Some, like NiKo and donk, had amazing stats but couldn’t win a trophy. Others, like ZywOo and ropz, helped their teams secure big victories. February will bring new challenges, but for now, these 10 players were the best in CS2.
