This retired CS:GO trio is dominating CS2 Premier, however you’ll have by no means heard of them

Kumaresan “Tommy” Ramani, Leslie “Bobosaur” Soen, and Nevin “splashske” Aw—three retired Singaporean CS:GO gamers—are practically invincible in CS2 Premier.

The trio has been on a severe grind since Valve added Premier mode to the CS2 beta on Aug. 31, having performed over 100 matches in CS2 already. At time of writing, Bobosaur is the highest-rated CS2 participant on the planet with a 97.95 p.c win charge, Tommy is subsequent underneath the alias “Kurosaki” with a 97.3 win charge, and splashske is the fourth highest-rated participant on the planet with a 96.75 p.c win charge.

The trio principally performs Premier collectively and followers may even comply with them dwell by Tommy’s Twitch streams. Whereas they had been nonetheless competing in CS:GO, they performed for distinguished groups within the Southeast Asia area comparable to Paper Rex and B.O.O.T-d[S]. Tommy and Bobosaur retired in 2021 and splashske stopped taking part in professionally in 2022.

Although Bobosaur, splashske, and Tommy’s profitable report in CS2 Premier is exceptional, they’re usually taking part in in opposition to lower-level opponents as a result of their server isn’t stuffed with gamers. Lots of people who performed CS:GO of their area have moved to different FPS titles, primarily VALORANT, over the previous few years.

Dot Esports checked the matches Tommy, Bobosaur, and splashske performed over the course of Sept. 13 they usually confronted gamers who had been round 15,000 MMR, round 10,000 MMR, and even unranked.

Although it’s not their fault the area seemingly doesn’t have too many nice gamers, they probably wouldn’t produce the identical exceptional win charges by taking part in on a European server, for instance.

We’ll see if Bobosaur, Tommy, and splashske can sustain this degree of dominance as soon as extra gamers be part of the server after Valve releases CS2. The developer said on Sept. 13 that the launch is coming “soon.”
