Part Two ( -1): http://youtu.be/cArqWYFkr-E Top 10 Awpers in CS History ( -6) Created by Austin Townley Released: November 28, 2012 Special thanks to Josh Geha, and the countless number of people I consulted with to make this list as accurate and unbiased as possible. As with any list of this sort, there are endless opinions and variations of rankings. If your personal favorite wasn't , don't sweat. I welcome your constructive feedback or personal rankings, and more so truly thrive on them as those discussions are the driving force behind my videos.

Johnny R - Given that this is the final spot on the list, it could have gone to any number of players not included in the top ten. Ksharp, Friis, Fallen, Lex, Vilden and others were considered, however, none really stood out enough to usurp this legendary name. Hyb, who was featured in the trailer, was never seriously considered for the top ten. Sunde - A true all-around player, his AWP ability can't be denied. After becoming the primary AWPer for mTw, the team had a historical 2008 season, winning five events, including WCG, and becoming the team in the world. His time at the top was spectacular and unfortunately brief. Walle - This will likely be the most controversial ranking. Just a few years ago the users on HLTV.org voted him the best AWPer of the decade. While certainly talented, the evidence is undeniably against him as he never won a major championship, often committing costly errors late in tournaments. One very clear memory is his AWP failing him versus JMC (Jax Money Crew) at CPL Winter 2005, ending the tournament for NiP. Walle was a gifted player, capable of brilliance and deserving of high regard, but any higher than this feels wrong given the inconsistency and inability to win the big one. KK - Maybe the most underrated AWPer of all time. His name is regularly omitted in best AWPer discussions, despite the prowess he's shown with the gun. He (and wHimp) basically carried The Titans to ESWC gold in 2004. Although he mostly competed with runner up Danish teams after this, he displayed many dominating performances at large events with All The Rage and Gravitas Gaming. He was one of many players who stepped away from the rigors of top level cs for school, and we maybe never got to see how good KK could have been. Delpan - The most difficult type of player to rank. Dominating but with a short career at the very top. It's hard to weigh the talent he's shown versus his accomplishments, but it's worth noting that SK improved after he was brought in to be their primary AWPer, having their best results since 2005. If the game had lasted another year, we very likely could have seen this name rise.
