The authoritative portal HLTV has presented the name of the e-sportsman who won the second place in the list of the best players of 2022. Considering all the factors, it turned out to be ZywOo, the sniper of Team Vitality.

This marks the fourth straight top-ranked finish for the young Frenchman, who has been named the strongest player in 2019 and 2020 and also finished second in 2021.

The past year was hardly a great one for ZywOo, as the 22-year-old Frenchman was unable to find his game during the first half of the season. However, closer to the end, the young sniper regained his confidence to help the team win ESL Pro League Season 16, as well as get into the top three at BLAST Premier: Spring Finals 2022 and BLAST Premier: Fall European Showdown 2022.

However, Team Vitality's general failures took their toll on ZywOo's performance, which missed several key stages at the big championships. In particular, he failed to reach the playoffs of PGL Major Antwerp 2022 and Intel Extreme Masters Rio Major 2022, as well as to become the leader at other events.

However, ZywOo still remained the main weapon of his team, often pulling matches for Team Vitality alone. Summing up all the facts, the 22-year-old Frenchman rightfully took an honorable second place and stopped a step away from the record.
