H0bbit is the top 6 best players of 2021 according to HLTV

The annual awarding of the best CSGO players in the world continues. Last night, representatives of the portal HLTV named the name of the sixth in the list of the top 20.

Abay "H0bbit" Khasenov stopped one step before the top five. The 27-year-old Kazakh player became the first representative of Gambit Esports in the ranking.

H0bbit deservedly deserved his place among the strongest: over the year, his 2.0 rating was 1.15 at S-rank tournaments, 1.14 at other events. H0bbit is ranked 4th among supports, averaging 0.16 assists per round.

In 2021, H0bbit, together with Gambit Esports, played in the finals of 10 major tournaments, among which he won 6. At the last PGL Major, Abay and his team took 3rd place, losing in the semifinals to future champions Natus Vincere.
