Another month has come to an end on the competitive Counter-Strike 2 scene. Teams had the opportunity to compete in two major tournaments — IEM Cologne 2024 and BetBoom Dacha Belgrade 2024 #2. In this article, we will talk about the top ten CS2 players in August 2024 according to Bo3.gg.

How the Best CS2 Players in August 2024 Were Determined

To determine the best CS2 player for August 2024, we thoroughly analyzed the performance metrics of all professional esports players who participated in major tournaments. The assessment considered individual statistical data from S-tier and A-tier tournaments, including:

• Player rating
• KDR (Kill-Death Ratio)
• DPR (Deaths Per Round)
• ADR (Average Damage per Round)
• Tournament placements
• MVP/EVP awards

About the Bo3.gg Rating

Evaluating a player in a CS2 match is no easy task, as each round involves numerous factors, such as bomb planting or the first kill. The most effective method is calculating a rating for each round separately, followed by calculating the final rating for the entire map.

We are confident that Bo3.gg offers the most accurate rating system, making it easy and convenient to analyze the performance of each player in each round, on each map, and in each match. Our rating takes into account new parameters, such as side selection, the team's economic state, and others that were previously overlooked. The maximum rating is 10 points!

#10. Nikola "NiKo" Kovač

NiKo is an outstanding esports athlete, and the recent changes in the G2 Esports roster have given him new motivation. His personal stats have become better and more stable. However, Nikola is still prone to emotions, which remains his weak point. NiKo's rating for August was 6.5.

#9. Ádám "torzsi" Torzsás

MOUZ is experiencing a slight dip in form. Despite the crisis, torzsi did his best and secured the ninth spot in our top CS2 players. Ádám's rating is 6.3, along with two EVP awards and two third-place finishes in tournaments.

#8. Valerij "b1t" Vakhovsjkyj

b1t is one of two Natus Vincere players in our top list. Valerij has returned to his best form from 2021, although he slightly slowed down in August. He played a significant role in NAVI winning silver medals at IEM Cologne 2024. Additionally, he was one of five EVPs of the championship. His rating in August was 6.6.

#7. Lotan "Spinx" Giladi

In seventh place on our list is a member of Team Vitality. Spinx's average rating in August was 6.4. Besides the IEM Cologne trophy and one EVP award, his additional individual stats were also slightly higher than those of previous candidates.

#6. Mario "malbsMd" Samayoa

malbsMd just recently joined G2, and he has already broken into the top ten players of the month. He is only 21 years old and has all doors open before him. The Guatemalan rifler fit well into the team and started delivering, finishing August with a rating of 6.9. Let's see how consistent he will be.

#5. Ivan "iM" Mihai

In August, iM continued his progress, which began back in June. The Romanian esports player is starting to live up to the expectations placed on him. His rating in August was 6.5. An EVP award, silver at IEM Cologne, and additional stats allowed him to climb to fifth place in our top.

#4. Dmitry "sh1ro" Sokolov

sh1ro has consistently been included in Bo3.gg's monthly rankings of the best CS2 players for several months now. From tournament to tournament, he continues to show a stable and high level of CS. Dmitry finished August with an average rating of 6.7.

#3. Ilya "m0NESY" Osipov

Of course, m0NESY could not be left out of the list of the best players of August. When he is on form, it brings success to G2. Although the team has recently become less dependent on his individual play, Ilya continues to demonstrate a stable level of CS and wins key rounds for G2. His average rating for August 2024 was 7.2.

#2. Danil "donk" Kryshkovets

The summer of 2024 was not the most successful period in donk's career, but in August, things started to look up. His personal stats improved, which positively affected the team as well. Despite winning BetBoom Dacha Belgrade 2024 #2, an MVP award, and a rating of 7, it wasn't enough to take the top spot in our ranking.

#1. Mathieu "ZywOo" Herbaut

ZywOo is once again the best player of the month in CS2! Earlier this year, Vitality faced difficulties when Mathieu was not in his best form, but everything changed when he regained his optimal condition. Winning IEM Cologne, an MVP award at the same tournament, and a rating of 7 made him the best CS2 player in August 2024!

The results of the teams on the professional scene in August have become more stable. Vitality finally won a trophy in 2024, while FaZe Clan players are still searching for themselves. An exciting end to the competitive season awaits us!
