CS:GO report for most professional matches performed has been damaged—and it isn’t who you assume it’s

CS:GO is slowly coming to an end, with the discharge of Counter-Strike 2 being proper across the nook (at the very least we hope so). One energetic participant could have the prospect to boast about enjoying essentially the most professional maps within the sport’s historical past since he broke the report on Aug. 23.

Kamen “bubble” Kostadinov, a 32-year-old participant for Victory Zigzag, reached 2389 maps performed, taking up first place by way of most maps in historical past, according to HLTV. The Bulgarian overtook a Polish Counter-Strike legend, TaZ.

Funnily sufficient, nonetheless, it’s TaZ who nonetheless holds the primary spot by way of most rounds performed, with quite a lot of 62,886. Bubble is 109 rounds quick with 62,777, and he’ll doubtless beat TaZ someday this month.

For many CS:GO gamers and followers, bubble isn’t a widely known identify. The 32-year-old has represented groups like SKADE, 359, and Windigo prior to now, who all tried breaking into the tier-one scene.

On Aug. 23, bubble and Victory Zigzag began their journey within the European closed qualifier for IEM Sydney 2023. They initially misplaced to 9INE however bounced again in opposition to 1WIN within the decrease bracket, the place they may face BetBoom subsequent.

It also needs to be famous that not each single professional CS:GO match is recorded on HLTV. The outlet doesn’t at all times collect knowledge on lower-tier tournaments, particularly home ones in sure international locations. Subsequently, the official stats of most maps performed may very well be a bit skewed. However, no different website has as a lot clear knowledge as HLTV, which makes it the best choice to depend on in terms of such stats.
