s1mple has the highest rating in the big tournaments in 2022 for the defense side

Portal HLTV begins to sum up the past season, offering readers to get acquainted with the best players and teams. This time, the editors of the portal have prepared a rating of players with the highest rating in large tournaments for the defense side. As expected, s1mple was at the top of the list — the NAVI sniper scored a final rating of 1.34, having played 107 maps.

Ax1Le is on the second line with the same rating. However, a smaller number of maps played did not allow Cloud9 to take the first line. Following him on the list is SunPayus - the ENCE sniper impressed the community last season by playing with a 1.33 rating at major tournaments.

On the fourth and fifth lines are NiKo and blameF respectively, whose rating was 1.31. However, the Dane spent 40 cards less (100 vs. 60), which prevented him from overtaking the Bosnian.

The compilers of the rating noted that the criterion used as a filter was at least 50 played cards.

The following players also got into the TOP-11 (from sixth to eleventh place):

• sh1ro-1.30
• ZywOo-1.29
• m0NESY - 1.28
• rain - 1.27
• KSCERATO-1.24
• broky-1.24

Note that in the generalized rating (without division into attack and defense) s1mple shares the first line with sh1ro - both snipers scored 1.25. However, the Ukrainian played more matches than his counterpart from the Cloud9 team. In the same list, ZywOo is on the third line with a rating of 1.24.
