Stay tuned for ranking updates every day at 20:00 CET
On January 3rd, HLTV.org staff as usual the results and starts announcing the names of the 20 strongest players of the past season. One name is announced each day until January 22nd, that's when the third, second, and first place rankings will be revealed.
We expect the appearance of NAVI players in the ranking: analysts believe that Valery "b1t" Vakhovsky is a contender to get into the top 20, Denis "electronic" Sharipov will be in the top 10, and Oleksandr "s1mple" Kostyliev is a major contender for first place.
Recall that last year electronic was ranked fifth and s1mple placed second. Let's see the results of NAVI players this time around. Post your predictions in the comments! #ObsessedWe
