According to statistics, the support player of plente A in CS:GO is attacked by the opposing team about 3 - 4 times more often than the support player on point B. This is due to the fact that on the most popular maps from the competitive mappool, such as Mirage or Dust 2, the terrorists have 3 exits on point A, while on plente B — only 2. Simply put, point A is easier to attack, so the support player A plente in CS:GO has a hard time, an order of magnitude more difficult than the defender of point B.
Number 1 among professional Kaesers who play at the position of support player, it is difficult to single out. Each map has its own peculiarities when playing defense, its own grenade spreads, and the best positions for defense A plente A. It is almost impossible to perfectly remember the smallest subtleties of playing defense on all maps, so it is impossible to say unequivocally who is the best A plente support player in CS:GO.
So I suggest you to compare the statistics on the support players on individual maps and the difference of their rating with the median (average result of all gamers). The higher this difference is, the better the prop performs. Whoever has the highest difference between his rating and the median rating will become the best A plenta support player in CS:GO in my scoring system.
4th place
We start our ranking with a cacer from Russia. Ax1Le (also known as Sergey Rykhtorov, since the end of April 2022, plays for the American team Cloud9) by the beginning of August 2022 has scored a good rating of 1.31 with a median value of 1.12 in the role of point A support on the Ancient map. So the difference is 1.31 - 1.12 = 0.19.
In my opinion, Aksil's amazing calmness, sometimes bordering on emotionlessness, which is noted even by journalists who interviewed him, and his excellent aim in shooting help him achieve such an impressive result and become one of the best support players in CS:GO. When Ax1Le is on fire, he can rip even the first team in the world, Faze Clan, as noted by Faze captain karrigan.
By the way, Ax1Le's achievements don't end with his excellent results as an A plenta support in CS:GO. Last 2021 was the best year of his 4-year professional career: Sergey won the prestigious tournament in Katowice with Gambit and climbed to the 5th line of the world ranking.
3rd place
The gamer sjuush (Rasmus Beck from Denmark), playing for Heroic team, has settled here. His crown card is the Mirage. Playing A plenta support on it, Rasmus made a rating of 1.24 when other A plenta support players in CS:GO on Mirage were achieving an average rating of 1. This means that sjuush outperforms his opponents by a difference of 1.24 - 1 = 0.24, or, in percentage terms, 24%.
Rasmus' achievement is even more amazing when you realize exactly which map he achieved it on. Mirage has always been one of the top 3 most popular maps in Counter Strike, almost every top team plays it very decently. Point A on Mirage is not sugar: 3 terror exits, lots of hiding places for attackers to hide. Here everything is decided by the correct spreading of smokes and excellent reaction of the support player to the opponent's exit on the point.
But sjuush is a beauty. Was able to handle a really difficult task. A true hero from Heroic and a well-deserved 3rd place in the list of the best support players in CS:GO.
2nd place
The 22-year-old Brazilian CS:GO star yuurih (real name - Yuri Santos, playing for the team FURIA) took silver.
Santos' rise to 2nd place was helped by his outstanding play as a support A plente in CS:GO on the Vertigo map, the most unpopular map of the competitive mappool. With a median rating of 1.05, yuurih earned a rating of 1.38. Thus, the difference of Santos' rating compared to the median is 0.33, and in percentage terms - 31%, which makes him without a doubt the best support A plente in CS:GO on Vertigo.
Yurrih in a sense can be called a universal cacer. He plays great not only on defense but also on offense. In his best year of 2020. Santos pulled Furia into the top ten teams in the world. The reason is that back then, Yuri had a great ranking against top 30 CS:GO teams (9th place) and a gorgeous KAST against top 30 teams (6th place). At the same time, Santos rose to 14th place in the individual ranking of players.
However, we must admit that to the laurels of the star countryman coldzera Yuri is still far away. I think it's unlikely he'll be able to achieve them. However, what can't be taken away from yuurih is the title of one of the best A plenum supports in CS:GO.
1 place
Now you will finally find out who is the top 1 on point A in Counter Strike. What amazes me is this:
-
This player was floundering at the dash-3 and dash-4 tournament level 2 years ago in 2020.
-
He didn't reach the pro level until February 2022 and only after the two highest scoring casters left the first team.
-
3 months after entering the pro scene, in May 2022, he already played in the semifinals of the Antwerp Majors, where he and his teammates lost to Faze Clan.
So, who is the best A plinth support in CS:GO right now? He plays for Spirit team, he is 20 years old, he is from Russia, his name is Pavel Ogloblin, better known in the professional community under the nickname s1ren.
Pavel's record achievement, which allows us to award him the first place in our impromptu rating, happened on the Nuke map. S1ren managed to make a rating of 1.50 on this map, which is the maximum for a support A plenta in CS:GO. Meanwhile, the median rating of all supporting players is only 1.07. This means that the difference of Paul's rating with other support players is 1.50 - 1.07 = 0.43 or 40%! Space Bombing Breakdown!
How to improve the skills of an A plenteous support player?
Before moving on to specific ways to improve your game, you need to understand your character, because an unsuitable character can make it impossible to achieve the intended goal. You can hardly imagine the toxic and aggressive in his younger years Simpl as a supporting A plaint in CS:GO, can you? I mean, he just can't sit in one place for an entire round. You need a phlegmatic and judicious disposition, like Aksil.
In terms of skills, firstly, you need to pump up your hearing and the ability to distinguish the footsteps of enemies, as well as listen to Timspeak to orient yourself where the enemy is approximately. It won't help you to have a great knowledge of smokey scatter points or fancy shooting if you miss the moment of the terrorists' attack. Secondly, becoming the best A plenta support player in CS:GO will require a lot of patience and waiting skills. An excellent support player will not give in to the impulse to help his teammates if it contradicts the plan for the round, but, like an anchor, clings to his point and leaves it only when it is 100% clear that the terrorists have gone to captive B. So practice focusing on the goal - defending point A - and don't forget about it for a second.
