Genuine question

who's the better awper (or was)

KennyS vs s1mple

GuardiaN

KennyS was more flashy
s1mple is consistent af, only dev1ce was more consistent than him

peak: kennys
overall: s1mple

KennyS more aggressive and flashy due to overpowerred AWP back then while S1mple more passive. Career wise S1mple last longer. In term of skills at their peak, maybe same

KennyS was flashier (sometimes throwy) and had an insane, literally gamebreaking peak many years ago, but i'll take simple overall cuz of his consistent domination over the years.

on an unrelated note i personally find device to be the best awper cs has ever seen, but only cuz his slower, less flashy style of play is what i found unique and fun to watch

It's like a comparison of tenz vs yay, flashy vs consistency. Personally I'm going with flashy.

flashy: kennyS
consistent: dev1ce
flashy and consistent: s1mple

so overall I would say s1mple because he is insane on rifle as well. kennyS was a beast back when he played, but s1mple has been the best CSGO player for past few years.
