Spinx Ranked 10th in HLTV’s Top 20 Players of 2025

Lotan “Spinx” Giladi once again confirmed his status as a top-tier player on the global scene, earning another spot in the Top 20 players of the year according to HLTV. This time, the Israeli rifler didn’t just make the list — he opened the top 10, highlighting his consistency, versatility, and crucial impact on his team’s results throughout the season.

Why Spinx Made the HLTV Top 20 in 2025

In 2024, Spinx finished 13th in the ranking. This year, the MOUZ player managed to improve his position. Together with his team, Spinx competed in the biggest tournaments of the season, though MOUZ often fell short in the playoff stages.

Among MOUZ’s achievements in 2025 was a 1st place finish at PGL Cluj-Napoca 2025, as well as 2nd place finishes at ESL Pro League Season 21, BLAST Open Spring 2025, Intel Extreme Masters Dallas 2025, and Intel Extreme Masters Cologne 2025. It’s clear that the team — and Spinx in particular — showed strong competitiveness, frequently reaching finals but falling just one step short of the title.

At BLAST.tv Austin Major 2025, MOUZ finished 3rd–4th, while the recent StarLadder Budapest Major 2025 ended with a 5th–8th place result.

Spinx 2025 Performance Summary

In 2025, Lotan played 184 maps, posting an average ADR of 78.3, KAST of 74.3%, and an overall rating of 1.11. Additionally, he earned four EVP awards at PGL Cluj-Napoca 2025, Intel Extreme Masters Dallas 2025, BLAST.tv Austin Major 2025, and ESL Pro League Season 22, once again underlining his significant contribution to the team’s success.

His individual rating stood at 1.06 against top-5 teams and 1.09 against top-10 teams, numbers that further emphasize Spinx’s consistency at the highest level.

Spinx’s Bold Prediction

In the Bold Prediction section, Lotan “Spinx” Giladi shared his thoughts on young Swedish talent MaiL09. According to Spinx, the player’s future currently looks uncertain — especially in light of his move to the bench at Metizport toward the end of 2025, despite MaiL09 being a consistent performer and an important part of the lineup.
