s1mple is the best player of 2022 according to the HLTV portal
The authoritative portal HLTV has presented the name of an esportsman who deserved to become the best player of the past season. As expected, it turned out to be s1mple, the longtime leader of the NaVi team.
According to the results of the last season, the Ukrainian sniper was recognized as the best player in BLAST Premier Spring Final 2022 and IEM Cologne 2022, and also became EVP in the following tournaments: Intel Extreme Masters XVI - Katowice, ESL Pro League Season 15, PGL Major Antwerp 2022, ESL Pro League Season 15, ESL Pro League Season 16 and Intel Extreme Masters Rio Major 2022.
Thus, s1mple becomes the record holder for the number of wins in the nomination of the best player of the year - the Ukrainian sniper was recognized as the strongest in 2018 and 2021. In addition, this is the seventh time when an esportsman is among the best players of the season.
s1mple and NAVI had a controversial season. On the one hand, the team became the champion of BLAST Premier: Spring Finals 2022 and Intel Extreme Masters Road to Rio 2022: European RMR B, and also reached the finals of PGL Major Antwerp 2022 and Intel Extreme Masters XVII - Cologne. On the other hand, NAVI and s1mple himself failed in the second half of the season, including the Intel Extreme Masters Rio Major 2022.
Nevertheless, leadership in all key metrics and amazing stability, even despite a noticeable decline in the fall, allowed s1mple to become the best player of the year again and outperform both coldzera and his main rival ZywOo in this indicator.
