Instead, these are the players who could have been the greatest, something just didn't go their way. For example, someone like SpawN or HeatoN had every opportunity to showcase their skills and accomplished great things, that's why we need not consider them, since they already showed us everything they were capable of and hit the highest heights in their careers. It's worth mentioning that this is not a list of the greatest players of all time either, there are greater players but who aren't in this particular conversation. I've striven to make my analysis of the factors holding them back fair, so you can't simply change their nationality and make them Swedish, or give them an extra talent, they must be good enough in themselves but held back by something which could have been changed or gone differently. Taking those three out of the equation, though, there are other candidates who could have taken up that top spot, given the right key factor being changed. Those three players all have enough factors going in their favour, across the board, that who you pick of the three doesn't matter as much as your specific reasoning. Potti's era is neatly over the first five or six years of competitive play, then he retires and the other two appear and dominate the rest of history, seemingly. This article was originally published on GameSpot's sister site, which was dedicated to esports coverage.Īs I outlined in a two part article (part one and part two) in 2012, there are three players who can be stated as the consensus candidates for the greatest Counter-Strike player in history: Potti, NEO and f0rest.
