in csgo, hltv top 20 is a big thing at the end of each year, top1 is a great honor just like Ballon d'Or in football or MVP in NBA.
iirc there is a vlr user doing a poll which will reveal the top 10 players by popularity. also last year, there was a top 10 players of 2021 post by one of the writers (i think, not 100% sure but i remember one). they revealed it at the end of 2021, not exactly at the end of champions. so we should wait and see
