B1t is the top 9 best players of 2021 according to HLTV

The HLTV editors continue to open the next positions in their list of the top twenty players in CS:GO following the results of the past 2021. The young talent, whose name is Valery 'b1t' Vakhovsky, became the first representative of NaVi in this list. However, he failed to get the title of a pioneer among the CIS players. Earlier in the top 10 another representative of this region appeared, Ali 'Jame' Jami, performing under the Virtus.pro tag.

In 2021, b1t became the main player of Natus Vincere, moving there from the youth roster. Initially, the esportsman appeared as a substitute player at BLAST Premier Global Final 2020, taking the place of Yegor 'flamie' Vasiliev. Then the team's coach called it a temporary solution and asked the flamie fans not to worry, but many understood the young player's determined attitude and the inevitability of Vasiliev's exclusion from the roster. Their assumptions turned out to be true. The debut in the starting lineup of NAVI turned out to be very successful for b1t, and with his help the team took 1st place and earned $600,000. The Born to Win did not stop there and took the championship at DreamHack Masters Spring 2021, where they earned $100,000. The next tournament from the BLAST Premier series with the subtitle Spring Finals 2021 was not as successful as the previous one, however, becoming silver medalists is also in high esteem, and a reward of $85,000 will not be superfluous. After that, the Natus Vincere players found a special synergy between themselves and launched the unstoppable machine mode, destroying everything in its path. The team with a telling name won almost all the remaining tournaments in 2021 in which they took part: Intel Extreme Masters Cologne 2021, ESL Pro League Season 14, BLAST Premier Fall Groups 2021, BLAST Premier Fall Finals 2021 and BLAST Premier World Final 2021. mentions are worth ESL Pro League Season 14, for the victory in which the team won the championship in the third season of the Intel Grand Slam and received a bonus of $1,000,000, as well as the championship at PGL Major Stockholm 2021. If earlier s1mple haters had an argument in the form of a lack of wins at the Major -tournaments, then with the advent of b1t, Alexander Kostylev managed to fill this gap. By the way, s1mple called this particular line-up with Valery Vakhovsky “the best team he has ever played in”.
