The PGL Bucharest 2025 CS2 tournament wrapped up last Sunday, leaving behind a trail of unforgettable moments, especially from the thrilling final match. As the dust settles, the question on everyone’s mind is: who were the standout players of this year’s event?
Top Performers Revealed
The Top 10 list is a mix of expected names and surprise entries. Notably, a Brazilian player made the cut despite a relatively short stint in the competition. Here’s a rundown of the top 5 players:
- m0NESY (G2) – 1.27 Rating 2.01, 14 maps played
- KSCERATO (FURIA) – 1.20, 9 maps played
- HeavyGod (G2) – 1.18, 14 maps played
- NiKo (Falcons) – 1.17, 21 maps played
- frozen (FaZe) – 1.17, 18 maps played
Decoding the Rating 2.1 Metric
The Rating 2.1 is a metric developed by HLTV to gauge a player’s performance. It’s based on several key stats: kills, survival rate, damage dealt, kill assists, and impact on both CT and TR sides. This comprehensive metric provides a clear picture of a player’s overall value to their team.
Interestingly, Abdulkhalik “degster” Gasanov, the tournament’s MVP, didn’t make it to the top ratings list. Only NiKo from the winning team secured a spot. The Brazilian player, KSCERATO, impressed with a high ranking despite playing fewer maps than most others on the list.
