The Greatest Rookie in Esports History 

S1mple?

@@benjaminaraneda7852 The irony from the comment above is that all great cs go players were introduced to cs through their older brother. B1t, s1mple and etc.

Gee, I hope my lil bro is entering the pro scene.

eyvallah

This is what new talent can do for a team

He is so talented, and Navi also shaped him well to fit the team.

@@chester0608ye and maybe him being Navi junior helped with it

tbh it didn't go well until they gave him constant playing time over flamie.

he doesnt force anything

the answer is s1mple, be good at cs :)

@@NDREI3000 just aim higher

always knew that only electronic was useful to s1mple...now he got his fully stacked roster, nothing is holding him back now. Michael Jordan vibes when he was playing with a bunch of coke heads and chumps then he finally got the roster he deserves. GOAT with the best rookie of all time... Navi is the greatest E-sports organization ever. Having 2 eras in 2 different E-sports as well as having 2 GOATs play in their teams (Puppey and s1mple).

@@vanguardas9927 don't forget their legendary 1.6 era, before s1mple there was markeloff

not just 18, in his first full tier 1 season

That's mainly because he never destroyed any brazillian team before he was proven against main T1 competition. Place him in Leaf's conditions, and the same thing would have happened, 100%. He was also always on a mainstay name in CS, starting drama with Chaos is a lot different from starting drama with Na'Vi

It's refreshing to see that. At least he doesn't need to go through all that crap like Ropz used to deal with.

He went up through Navi talent training program. The organization endorsement definitely helps. People trust Navi can delete the cheaters from their server.

probably because he was in the academy team he didnt have to go on the faceit grind to get picked up by a t1 org like ropz did, and navi is probably a team that does background checks before doing anything drastic like a "youre in our main t1 roster now" move, those things alone would cross out the cheater part, as for harassment, he mainly faced EU teams

it's because he constantly had s1mple saying he wasn't cheating

zywoo exists

@@vir8433 greatest in terms of achievements and easily the second best rookie after zywoo in terms of skill

@@lukaslillestl-brandlistuen7269 People forgetting s1mple was a rookie once. I can't remember which tournament it was but he carried a team of his friends and randoms pretty much through a whole tournament. Source: trust me bro

@@lukaslillestl-brandlistuen7269 most definitely. Zywoo rose to #1 HLTV player in the first year of playing and thats something you cant take away from him, but the thing is main awpers usually rise to these ranks. b1t's addition to Navi fitted like a glove and definitely something the team needed, this one rookie to them to #1 team in the world and thats why I think hes the best rookie.

Dont do flamie like that man, I've been following navi since very long time, flamie was a BEAST like you could hardly pick between s1mple electronic and flamie, i honestly a bit sad that flamie didn't get the major title since he stick with navi for soo long and he definitely deserve it.

@@imamgilbran3876 ?? Flamie has never been 1/10 consistent as s1mple and half as consistent as ele.

@@hristiyanhristov2480 check 2014 2015 top players, he was in the top 20 two times, and he was a beast those times

@@steffeautism Wow he was in top 20... now check ele for the last 5 years and see where he is. And Flamie is not old at all, he is just an year older than simple. Comparing top gunners like ele and simple with Flamie is atrocious.

Doesn't matter, if your part of a team for that long, you don't brush anyone off, no matter what you have achieved or how good you are. I think his behavior was also one of the causes that the team performed poorly at times. He's replaced by B1t and they just don't lose anymore.

@@StenGilles the Navi strat 🤣

Bit:2 majors Niko: 0 major

It depends how I measure it imo B1t’s had a bigger impact on his team in navi than zywoo did in vitality, in terms of accolades it’s not even close he’s won every lan tournament he’s played in dropped only one game winning the other 22 I think it is he’s won a grand slam, and a major aswell as outperforming s1mple and electronic consistently the two behemoths of the navi lineup he’s got the highest average headshot percentage in a Callander year in the history of the game beating scream. Now yes individually zywoo is the better player there’s no denying it but I really don’t think b1t’s far behind and the guys doing it with rifles like niko whilst also secondary awping on some maps. I still standby zywoo having the best rookie year in terms of individually but as a whole B1t takes it for me.

@@stole7461 individually as a player skill wise which is how it’s mainly looked at yes I don’t disagree with you at all but anything else it’s gotta be B1t in terms of most decorated and he might make top 5 if not definitely top 10 this year on hltv rankings both amazing players

@@stole7461 yes, but s1mple wasnt performing as well when zywoo won.

has people already forgotten that coldzera won 2 majors with 2 major MVP medals in his first year of playing? I don't think it even comes close to decide who has been the best rookie in csgo

@@misterragger2389 first year ? you know how much he had to grind ?

@Justin Villareal and? because someone good is in your team doesnt mean you are good. I will agree bit is amazing and is a key reason why navi has been dominant, but in terms if individual performance, zywoo still tops him.

Zeywoo is the best rookie ever while B1t is the greatest(trophies). Same how people used to say that S1mple was the best player ever but dev1ce was the greatest

@@4tCa4mzUPqRZZo I was only considering CS since it's borderline impossible to truly compare players in different titles

but Zywoo is so much weaker than bit, it doesn't make sense. Rookie Zywoo didn't play against b1t but rookie b1t plays against expirienced 2 times #1-player Zywoo and destroyes him

@@budnichenkovova You are delusional

exactly mans came in first tourny wins the biggest esports tournament around, then backs it up after that. bit cs biased i think

Zywoo was never better as a rookie. You need to see single player in context of adaptability to team, so it is not only a player or a team, it is both. He clicked right in, while others didnt.

@@vedadvehabovic5804 when it comes to adaptability, zywoo also adapt very well with the team filled with French scene rejects like Happy, and he manages to elevate their level as well. Without zywoo, vitality won't be the force that we know them today.

Ye and yet to achieve a single "big" tournament wins in a system revolving around him. B1t major + grandslam + Cologne + 2 World/Global Finals + most likely top 15 or even top 10 as a rifler depending on how HLTV ranks players this year... That's all I have to say

@@hmm8997 ok boomer, but don't try to impose your opinion on everyone, I disagree with you

@@hmm8997 I mean his winnings and his stats in those tournaments do make him the best rookie

@naufal marsa This man has back to back HLTV number 1s, something that only a handful of players will ever claim. Heck, some of the games greatest every players don't even have even 1(niko, dev1ce, eliege, but to name a few) , and he has 2, BACK TO BACK, in his rookie year. Even s1mple, the player who I consider to be the greatest of all fucking time, doesnt have 2 back to back Number 1s, especially not in his rookie year. Admittedly he's going to do it eventually but the point still stands, ZywOo did it in his rookie year. Not only that but he carried Vitality, a team who are mediocre at best without him, to what many consider the most consistent run of performances in 2020, that on top of a dominant 2019, where vitality took the world by storm, led by 18/19 year old ZywOo. You then add in the fact that B1t joined an already excellent team, Navi, with the greatest player EVER to touch any version of counterstrike in the form of his life, along side what many, including me, consider to be one of the worlds greatest riflers in electronic, one of the worlds best tacticians in blade, alongside a promising perfecto and bomb14. Whilst I cannot sing B1ts praises enough, itis simply blasphemous to compare him to ZywOo. Shame on theScore for pushing such nonsense. ZywOo is undisputedly the greatest rookie to every grace counterstrike, and arguably any esport title, period.

@@gabrielnwodo9632 I mean if ZywOo still keeps going like this a couple years (well more than 5 like S1mple (skills)) then you should compare him to S1mple, even every csgo pros knew S1mple was a Goat since the days he played in Hell, TL.... Coldzera, who had won 2 #1 HLTV still dropped his mood after it, then why would you compare ZywOo to S1mple Me personally still think Coldzera is the greatest rookie.

@@thushakosty You can argue coldzera, definitely I see your reasoning (to come from an illdeveloped region, dominate on the big stage and collect HLTV number 1) but for me its Zywoo.

@naufal marsa Your major argument is so easily countered. 1. A major can be won by a fluke performance from any team (not to say that NaVis major was a fluke, not at all), but all it takes is one solid over performance at the right time and place - just look at Cloud9s miracle Boston major 2018 victory. 2. There are 5 slots on a major winning team, meaning one player can perform poorly, but as long as they are made up for by their team mates, they are still named a major winner. Meanwhile, HLTV.1 is only available to 1 player per year, and is the single best measure of consistency through out the year. It is a monumental achievement to win this even once. Some of the best players of our generation (Ropz, Twistzz, Niko, Device, Elige, just to name a few) will never even win this award once. ZywOo won this award back to back - in his rookie year. Something that has NEVER EVER been done before, in ANY esport title. I pray counterstrike lives on for centuries, and if it does, I’ll be quiet literally stunned, if in the next 100 years ZywOos break out performance is repeated up to 3 times. The best player in the world, S1mple, did not have such magisterial form in his break out year. ZywOo did it in the most competitive era of all time. In a time where Astralis would go on to win 4 major titles, Liquid would become the fastest grand slam winning team and dominate numerous tournaments, G2 would rise with the addition of Niko, NaVi as always with a stellar peak ability, CoL on the brink of stardom with the jaggaurnaut, amongst numerous other notable teams ZywOo stood above every single one of them, in his rookie year, carrying a team of rejected Frenchmen to world number 1, and claiming 2 back to back HLTV number 1s. Your major argument is nil and void. I have spoken nothing but fact. ZywOo is simply the greatest rookie counterstrike has ever seen, and potentially will ever seen. In fact, he might just be the best break out rookie in esport history.

@naufal marsa lol get rekt

Honestly even though zywoo did deserve number 1 player in 2019, I don't think he did in 2020, s1mple in my opinion was better, but even considering the fact that zywoo did get 2 number 1s in 2 years, he didn't win any big trophies, and what separates the great rookies from the best is the difference they make when it really matters

I can't really discredit ZywOo, he definitely had the best performance as a rookie and if he had an actually competent team around him, he'd win just as many trophies as b1t did. About the only difference is that ZywOo is the star of the team and wields the AWP, while b1t is a rifler, anchor and still shines next to legends like s1mple and elec. Meanwhile xi wu was really the hard carry in that team, except for the odd shox overperformance. Both deserve an equal amount of respect, for different reasons. Imma give a slight edge to b1t as a NAVI fanboy, because of the role he is in, with the hs% and trophies, reaching the spot of a top 13 player in the world in his first year in tier 1, with LAN in mind, it's just all too wild.

s1mple had better stats in 2020 -source hltv- but zywoo just won one or two more tournaments.

Zywoo 3 years in tier 1, and still 0 relevant trophies, b1t in 7 months already won every possible title in cs except for katowice, which he will probably win in 2022)

Potato

But still ZyWoo didnt won igs/Major

Both can be considered the best rookies, though that depends on how you weight raw talent vs success. If Zywoo is an A+, b1t is probably A- to an A. Zywoo won some tournaments in 2019, but b1t has already won more than what most pros have spent years trying and failing to do. Both were the best rookies in their years though, no doubt.

#1 is definitly a greater achievement than a major. Harder to get there for sure.

@@eternal5762 "He just didnt have s1mple and electronic in his team" please read

@@user-dj5ev8ru1f what are you on about?

Would argue that Zywoo is the best rookie ever, whereas b1t is indeed the greatest rookie (accolades).

Lol. #1 means fuck-all compared to 4/4 LAN wins, the Grand-Slam and a goddamn Major. Yes, ofc skillwise Zywoo is much better, but goddamn, bits mechanical skill, aim and being decently consistent definitely makes him best rookie

FINALLY, someone with sense. It is blasphemous to compare B1t to Zywoo, and this is coming from a die hard S1mple fan. Zywoo is without a single shadow of a doubt, the single greatest rookie from any version of counterstrike, and arguably any esport tile. That is fact, anything else is rubbish. TheScore are pushing rubbish and people are eating it up.

@@Littlekidjonjon You forget B1t joined a Navi that was already in a great position, Navi has the worlds greatest player, the best tactician arguably in Blade, a promising perfecto and Bomb14, whilst Zywoo carried a NEWLY ASSEMBLED team, to immediate star status. There is 0 debate here myfriend.
