Before we start revealing our list of the 20 best players of 2018, we take a look at the last five years and give tribute to the best individuals in CS:GO history.

HLTV.org's first Top 20 players list was released back in 2010, during the Counter-Strike 1.6 era. The list has been created every year since then, barring 2012, which was a transition year between 1.6 and Global Offensive.
