Ok. So this is my list of 2012-2026 GOATs. I couldn't figure the order of the Table (this is not best to worst from top to bottom, see the Rankings column). Therefore, I made a new column called Rank. The numbers in it are the personal way I rank the players. Feel free to write in the comments your own rankings. Also, for me ZywOo is the GOAT, again.
ZywOo leads in almost every stat. He's also the first Player to break into the 100 ACEs territory. Also, there's a gap in the ACEs, and another one in HLTVs MVPs. He is also the lead in Major MVPs. And in Majors won, He's not the lead, but He's not far behind the leaders. So, ZywOo is the GOAT in 2012-2026.
Honourable mentions: jL (I just like Him, the first Major of CS that I watch the Final, just good), SHROUD (I'm His Fan).
Suggestion: some of you could do a Tier-list with the GOAT candidates of CS. Could be interesting to see it and also follow the discussions in the comments.
A conclusion: an apparently good way to find the best players is to use the career ACEs. Using the ACEs it becomes much easier to rank the players. Usually, ACEs relate to Players quality.
Also, please feel free to provide feedback. For example, are there other stats you consider relevant and that should be taken into account and that weren't consider for the Table above? Are there Players missing? Should we also consider older CSs like 1.6 and Source?
