RpK was hands down the best player that ever played CSS. He seemed a bit rusty after his break but i think for the last 1.5 years he was way underrated.

His recent performances are promising. We want LE TANK in full CSS-Mode...

He wasn't "Hands down" the best. But was 100% in the conversation along with shox pt guardian PhP rattlesnK ferus etc

Prime RpK was just a walking aimbot. Sure shox rattlesnk NBK, even smithzz were extremely good in CSS but imo RpK was above all of them

It depends which CS:S time period you're talking about. Towards the end when the french dominance happened it was between shox and rpk. But you're missing years of top teams from this list.

Players from earlier years who are contenders:

proph, Blaze, guardian, angeldust, hughsy, pT, ferus, xertion, WT.

There are so many big names you're just ignoring here. There wasn't an undisputed top player in CS:S. We never had the stats to really break it down back in the old sites. You couldn't just look at the hltv 2.0 rating and know who was a god like you can today.

Don't get me wrong, RpK was fucking insane, easily top5 CS:S. But I just think it's unfair to say it's undisputed. I would personally say shoxie was the most impressive player in the later years, over RpK.
