TOP 10 best players in 2021: 6th place - Ax1Le

The EGamersWorld portal continues a series of materials dedicated to the best players of the season. On the sixth line of our rating is Ax1Le - the main old-timer of the current Gambit roster, and also the most irreplaceable unit of the team.

Familiarize themselves with the criteria and see the description of parameter estimation is possible in our previous article.

There is no need to repeat all the successes and merits of Gambit in the past season, since the team performed beyond praise. At the same time, the Russian team included a player who, with his stability, covered almost all the achievements.

Already at the start of the season, Ax1Le demonstrated extreme usefulness for Gambit, having statistically played the strong IEM Katowice 2021. In a month, the Russian will show a game of a completely different level, having dragged the team to the final of ESL Pro League Season 13.

The player will finish that championship with a rating of 1.24, receiving the first MVP medal in his career.

However, Ax1Le did not intend to stop there, continuing to demonstrate outstanding CS, in which everything is multiplied by strict discipline and pure talent. As a result, the 19-year-old player will become the third BLAST Premier Spring Showdown player with the same rating of 1.24, and after that he will play in the DreamHack Masters Spring 2021 final and win the controversial EPIC League CIS 2021.

In June, the Russian will break through again, as he will once again show an outstanding performance, leading Gambit to victory at IEM Summer 2021 with a final rating of 1.33.

Despite the team's decline in late summer and early autumn, Ax1Le continued to maintain its brand and be among the best players at every tournament, including in its position. Once again, the Russian will show his best CS at the IEM Fall 2021 CIS, becoming one of the stars of the grand final against NAVI.

The only failure for Ax1Le will be PGL Major Stockholm 2021. And if the team itself reached the semifinals, then statistically the player had a bad championship, barely managing to step over the threshold of the 1.00 rating.

However, a week later, the recession will be quickly forgotten, since the Russian will host two outstanding V4 Future Sports Festival 2021 and IEM Winter 2021, as well as show a stable game as part of the final BLAST Premier World Final 2021, taking second place with Gambit.

Why did Ax1Le take sixth place?

Given the success of Gambit in 2021, every player of this roster deserves flattering epithets. However, Ax1Le is a player that has shown outstanding stability from tournament to tournament.

Ax1Le statistics for the season:

• The rating is 5.105.
• ADR - 81.4.
• K/D - 1.17.
• Impact - 1.18.
• The number of clutches is 60.
• The number of cards played is 220.

Statistically, Ax1Le played positively in all championships, with the exception of PGL Major Stockholm 2021, which the Russian finished with a negative K/D ratio. However, at all other tournaments, the player invariably showed high-quality CS.

Along with that, Ax1Le took two MVP medals. Most importantly, the 19-year-old Russian was recognized as the best in European tournaments, one of which played s1mple.

Plus, we are talking about an amazing sequence of a player who played every tournament at an impressive level, without actually giving in to doubt. In addition, for Ax1Le, this season, in fact, became the first full-fledged at the adult level. Therefore, the player has earned the full right to be on the sixth line of our rating.
