Players like Ilya “m0NESY” Osipov, Mathieu “ZywOo” Herbaut, and Helvijs “broky” Saukants are just a tiny fraction of talents who have made it to the very top of CS:GO.
But who is next in line?
We have asked the renowned CS:GO expert and caster Henry “HenryG” Greer to pick his three most exciting and upcoming talents in the game right now. And by the looks of the current CS:GO landscape it’s no surprise that all of them are from one specific region – the CIS.
Take a look at his Top 3 right here.
1. Ihor "w0nderful" Zhdanov - 17 years old
Nationality: 
Team: Spirit
Role: AWPer
HenryG explains the pick: "He’s a player that no longer needs an introduction. Exploding onto the world stage in 2022 and posting truly memorable performances throughout the year at a handful of notable events, culminating with a fantastic Team Spirit performance in Rio. Yet another exciting, world-class AWPer from Ukraine. w0nderful is currently my absolute favorite player to spectate within CS:GO, and I can't wait to see how his career develops in 2023. The future is very bright!"
2. Danyyl "headtr1ck" Valitov - 18 years old
Nationality:
Team: NAVI Junior - Transferlisted
Role: AWPer
HenryG explains the pick: "We got to see a glimmer of Danyyl's potential in the main Na'Vi squad and while it wasn't the fairy-tale run we would have hoped for, it was certainly enough to see the potential of skill this player has within his arsenal. A player that can truly do it all and perform at a high level in almost every single discipline of CS:GO. When playing against other academy players, this gentleman looks like he is having far too much fun, and seldom do we see him post a frag tally beneath 25 per map.
He seems like a player that only needs to tone down his in-game aggression and establish himself within a solid system of a team that can focus on getting the very most out of headtr1ck. His talent deserves attention."
3. Artem “ArtFr0st” Kharitonov - 21 years old
Nationality: 
Team: Spirit Academy
Role: AWPer
HenryG explains the pick: "Another CIS Sniper makes it to my list after his epic individual performance throughout the WePlay Academy Season 6 finals. I couldn't believe the sheer amount of individual skill and swagger this young man was dropping on the server throughout every single map he played in."
