CSGO records of world players: longest game, most kills, etc.

Counter-Strike is considered the oldest sport in esports history. The franchise is over 20 years old, with the latest being CSGO which has been around for over a decade. With such a long history, the game also has many great records.

Millions and millions of bullets have been fired in the last two decades, but it only takes one to turn a game upside down, a tournament, and a career. From classic clutches to terrible fraggers, CSGO contains many moments.

However, who is considered the most dangerous? Who has participated in the longest match in CSGO history, and how many times has a map been used? This article will summarize the great achievements of professional CSGO players.

Most kills (all): Kenny ‘kennyS’ Schrub (33,558 lives)

Total kills are dominated by this veteran player. The French AWPer has always been in good form over the years, jumping from strong team to strong team. He won a Major, earned himself a dozen MVP titles, and is recognized as one of Counter-Strike’s most talented players.

When it comes to kills, kennyS is far behind its rivals: Patrik ‘f0rest’ Lindberg (32,711) and Jesper ‘JW’ Wecksell (32,171) have consistently trailed kennyS since the early days of CSGO.

Most Lives (AWP): Kenny ‘kennyS’ Schrub (17,392 lives)

If he’s the one who gets the most kills, then there’s really no one to beat kennyS in AWP. He’s one of the best AWPers, if not #1. While his teams have their ups and downs, kennyS is pretty much the same frag, no matter the roster changes.

With nearly 18,000 lives with the ‘magic stick’ (AWP), kennyS has this weapon in the palm of his hand. The AWP has been nerfed and tweaked over time, but the French player has always been the most adaptable and dominant – patch after patch, year after year.

Throughout history, kennyS has not been without competition: Ladislav ‘Guardian’ Kovacs also had 16,194, losing about 1,000 lives to him. However, the gap between French and Slovak snipers is now widening.

Has the highest average rating: Mathieu ‘ZywOo’ Herbaut (1.29 rating, 584 maps)

Zyw0o, in a way, can be seen as the successful successor of kennyS. This young French player has the highest average rating in CSGO history.

Although Zyw0o only turned pro at the end of 2016, he quickly became one of the best players of all time. Vitality’s AWPer always shines, helping the team through the most difficult times.

1.29 ratings in nearly 600 competitive games is a testament to how well the 19-year-old player plays. He may be tight-lipped in interviews, but his talent speaks for itself: carrying the team and clutching in impossible feats.

It is clear that Zyw0o is an outstanding talent of French CS, and his future is expected to go further.

With the most MVPs: Nicolai ‘dev1ce’ Reedtz (15 titles)

The HLTV MVP Medal is considered the largest individual award in CSGO, aside from the annual Top 20 ranking. The award recognizes players who excel in clutch moments at pressurized events.

If there’s one team that can do it over and over again, it’s Astralis and its AWPer dev1ce are at the forefront. Astralis won numerous tournaments during the competition, with four Majors, and many other major tournaments. Dev1ce was the main star on 15 occasions of the tournament.

He got his first medal of 2015 at the PGL CS:GO Championship Series while playing under TSM, and he didn’t stop there. The Dane won seven medals in 2018 as Astralis dominated Counter-Strike.

Christopher ‘GeT_RiGhT’ Alesund, who hasn’t won a medal since 2014, is still second with kennyS and Oleksandr ‘s1mple’ Kostyliev with 10 medals.

Highest headshot ratio: Adil ‘ScreaM’ Benrlitom (68.1%, 27,501 total kills)

In CSGO, there’s one player who has mastered the art of headshots more than anyone else: ScreaM. We all know someone who “just shoots, nothing else” in matchmaking, and ScreenM is living proof of that on a pro level.

Of course, to be at the top of Counter-Strike requires good game sense. However, that’s not what ScreamM is good at. He is good at tapping his head, and spends hours practicing “one tap”. His headshots are so sweet that one-tap has become ScreaM’s title.

Of his 27,501 kills (26th highest in history), 68.1% were headshots. He still holds the highest headshots at 18,724, and the highest average headshots per round (0.5) – even though ScreaM is no longer playing for the top team.

Johannes’b0RUP‘ Borup and Marcelo ‘chelo’ Cespede are behind with 64.1% and 63.3% respectively. But they still have a long way to go to surpass the one-tap king, and there is a high probability that no one will do it.

Most clutch wins: Richard ‘shox’ Papillon (643 round 1vx wins)

When approaching death, keeping a cool head helps a lot. However, being able to withstand pressure as well as completing work is ‘easy said, difficult to do’. But if you’re a shox then there’s nothing to worry about.

The French shooter is at the top of all-time clutches, helping his team burst into their darkest moments. He won 643 rounds as the last survivor, equivalent to more than 40 successful clutch games in his career.

These rounds have brought many big titles for the 27-year-old player. He has been pursuing a professional CS career for nearly 15 years and still maintains a cool head at the end of each round.

Only two other players have won 600+ clutch rounds: Andreas ‘Xyp9x’ Højsleth (635) and Janusz ‘Snax’ Pogorzelski (605). With the success they bring to the teams, it shows that sometimes not only understand the game, but also have to be mentally strong, if you want to win more than lose in CSGO.

Longest game: XENEX vs. exceL (88 rounds in Inferno, ESL UK Premiership Season 1, 2015)

16 rounds to win, that’s a familiar concept in Counter-Strike. However, after the end of 30 rounds, some teams still could not determine the winner and loser and so we entered overtime (extra time). Needing one or two overtime to determine the winner is all too common in the game, and makes the game more interesting.

However, with XENEX and exceL, they needed six overtimes, and another 58 rounds, to find the solution. In ESL UK Premiership 2015, the two teams faced off against each other in the BO3 series, which lasted over 4 hours.

At Inferno, the two teams needed 88 rounds, making it the longest professional game in CSGO history to date. Each member of the server has 50 lives because the two teams can’t finish.

The two teams also played the Cache map shortly after and it lasted a double overtime. In the end, XENEX won the final 2-0. Luckily, the third map didn’t happen, otherwise we don’t know how long the series will last.

At the major league level, 60 rounds were played between Astralis and CR4ZY at the StarLadder Berlin Major 2019 in the Dust2 map. CR4ZY defeated the Danish tycoon 31-29, breaking the Astralis record a day earlier with NRG (59 rounds).

Most played map: Mirage (15,790 games)

While Dust 2 is considered the symbol of Counter-Strike, it is not the most popular map in the professional arena. This achievement belongs to Mirage, with more than 15,000 games recorded on HLTV.

Mirage is the only map present in every map pool played, so it’s easy to see why it’s used the most. There were times when maps like Nuke (6,398), Inferno (12,842), Dust 2 (8,269) were replaced, so they were completely inferior to Mirage.

If limited to major tournaments (Major, others), then Inferno (730) is slightly better than Mirage (715).

Overall, Mirage and Inferno are two maps that are much more popular than the others, and they contribute 35% of the maps used by pro players.
