stavn opens the top ten of the best players of 2022 according to HLTV

The authoritative portal HLTV has presented the name of the esportsman who opened the top ten in the ranking of the best players in 2022. Such an honorable place went to stavn, the current player of the Heroic team.

Last season, the 20-year-old Dane did not receive any MVP awards, but was recognized as the EVP of the following championships: Intel Extreme Masters XVI - Katowice, PGL Major Antwerp 2022, Pinnacle Cup Championship 2022 and BLAST Premier: Fall Finals 2022.

It is worth saying that this is the third consecutive hit in the number of the best players for the young esportsman, who took 12th place in 2020 and 16th place in 2021.

stavn had an impressive season with Heroic, with which he won PGL Major Antwerp 2022: European RMR A, Pinnacle Cup Championship 2022, BLAST Premier: Fall European Showdown 2022 and BLAST Premier: Fall Finals 2022, and also reached the finals of Intel Extreme Masters Rio Major 2022. At the same time, the 20-year-old player has always remained the main striking force of his team, striking with stability and extraordinary stamina.

However, as noted by the HLTV editors, stavn failed to climb higher in the rankings for several reasons: 1) a decline in performance in big matches; 2) weak performances against TOP rivals; 3) "weaker" individual rewards than the players higher on the list.

Earlier, representatives of the portal presented the evaluation criteria and the publication date of the TOP-20 best players in 2022. Keep track of the TOP 20 best players with us and don't forget to update our main page.
