kassad compiled a tier list of captains in Counter-Strike
Analyst Alexander “kassad” Trifunovich presented a tier list of Counter-Strike captains in a video on his personal YouTube channel.
About nafany
To me, he’s not a captain. He doesn’t have what it takes to be a captain. He doesn’t have the right mindset, let’s put it that way. Maybe he understands Counter-Strike at a high level, but he doesn’t have the mindset a captain needs. So, to me, he’s not a captain.
On Snax
He’s just trying to salvage his career time and time again. It feels like this guy has absolutely no interest in the game at all. That’s exactly how it looks. He has zero interest in Counter-Strike. He’s just there, getting his pay, and playing the bare minimum. I’ve seen players like this, I’ve seen these types of people—I come across them all the time—and he’s one of them. So, as far as I’m concerned, he’s not a captain.
About tabseN
It’s a shame there isn’t a separate category for this guy called “idiot.” This guy had everything handed to him on a silver platter. He was very good. He was the captain. He took on that role, and it suited him—he handled it perfectly. He was a strong player. He put up good stats. He could have done anything, but he decided to stay with BIG.
