Our video editor Filip "filq" Szatkowski has put together a video with some of the best moments from the players who made our Top 20 ranking of 2018, powered by EGB.com.

The start of a new year brings with it our top 20 player ranking, and 2019 was no exception. From January 1-20, we revealed the players who shined the most in 2018 with a series of in-depth features breaking down individual performance over the year and explaining our reasoning behind their ranking selection.

This year we revealed the top two players spots on the same day, with Aleksandr "⁠s1mple⁠" Kostyliev beating off competition from Nicolai "⁠device⁠" Reedtz for the No.1 spot after a close race.

The highlight movie takes us down memory lane as we look back at a historic year, compiled in almost 20 minutes with jarring performances from players who impressed the most in 2018, hailing from 13 different countries.

Curious about how we chose the top 20? You can revisit the introduction article, which will provide insight on how the rankings were decided, as well as first-person accounts of the most significant events of the year.
