When Zhao Yiyang took a 16-hour international flight and got off the plane at Cologne International Airport, countless messages appeared on his mobile phone.

"Zhao Yiyang, you are the top one this year!"

"The top 1 of hltv has come out, Simple has never fucked you!"

It turns out that the final answer to the top 20 contestants selected by hltv every year has finally been revealed.

Before Zhao Yiyang got on the plane, hltv had just announced the top 3 players of 2018. Basically, as expected, the top 3 was Astralis' core player device who had dominated the CSGO professional scene for a year.

This team that has dominated the whole year has all five players selected into the top 20 players selected by hltv, and all of them are in the top fifteen, and four of them are in the top ten.

However, the fact that device is only ranked in the top 3 has caused some controversy, that is, the Danish sniper has really won too many team and individual honors this year. He has won a total of 5 MVPs and a major MVP.

Although his rating is indeed only ranked third this year at 1.26, people are still discussing whether hltv's top 20 is the best player this year or whether it focuses more on absolute personal strength.

In any field, as long as it involves the discussion of who is stronger, there will be endless debates. However, the results are already here, which can also explain some problems.

[I think hltv’s rankings focus more on the personal abilities of the players. After all, this is a ranking of players, and the rankings are mostly based on personal data!]

Many people think that since the top 3 players are given the device, it means that this year hltv will judge the players based on their personal strength, so Zhao Yiyang should also be the top 1 player.

After all, his rating is a full 0.3 higher than that of simple, and other high-level data exceeds that of simple.

One day later, the top 1 and top 2 of 2018 were produced at the same time. Sure enough, although hltv sometimes has double standards, here, they still adhere to their own standards for judging this year's top 20 players, which is based on personal data and team results.

below priority.

…

After Zhao Yiyang got off the plane, he did not read in detail hltv's evaluation of him as the top 1 player this year. Instead, he first found the team leader and manager who came to receive FaZe.

"Hi! My brother, we have been waiting for you for a long time!"

Although Zhao Yiyang sat on the plane for 16 hours, a year of international travel has made him accustomed to the time difference between day and night, so his mental state is not bad.

"Hi! How long have you been waiting!"

"Haha, it didn't take long, only half an hour!"

"Merry Christmas!"

Although Zhao Yiyang doesn't celebrate Christmas, you still have to be polite when you come to Western culture.

"Merry Christmas!"

"Come on, our car is parked in the parking lot outside, and I have prepared a sumptuous meal for our new top one!"

It seems that everyone knows that Zhao Yiyang has won the title of top1 with his perfect performance this year. Although this title is not very credible for professional players, it is definitely impossible to say that no one cares.

Although FaZe's current lineup also includes former top 1 and top 2 players, the gap between their performance this year and Zhao Yiyang's is still obvious.

Even for this year's NiKo, hltv ranked him top 4, and he also had a rating of 1.25 for the whole year, but this number was even 0.11 lower than Zhao Yiyang's rating.

You know, a 0.1 lower rating in CSG means that it is basically a lower level. A rating of 1.15 can only be ranked outside the top 10 this year, which is 10 places lower than NiKo. And Zhao Yiyang is 0.1 higher than NiKo. This seems

Very scary.

What Robban prepared for Zhao Yiyang today was naturally a very sumptuous German-style meal. This was also related to Zhao Yiyang's taste. He liked meat very much and had a special preference for various types of sausages.

Although the food in Germany is not as rich as that in China, it is more in line with Zhao Yiyang's taste on the European road. Therefore, Zhao Yiyang is still looking forward to this meal.

On the way to the restaurant, Zhao Yiyang opened the new mobile phone that robban brought to him. Because his domestic card could not use Internet data in Europe, before he came, he specifically told robban and asked him to apply for a local one.

The operator's card, unexpectedly the bald man actually bought him the latest iPhone.

"Open your phone and see what hltv has to say about you!"

Robban can also clearly see Zhao Yiyang's excitement. Although Zhao Yiyang has been prepared for him to get top1 before, because hltv has interviewed him before and asked him to give his most optimistic results in 2019.

A player who entered the top 20, but when he actually received the honor of being the best tribute to a player's personal ability, he still couldn't hide his feelings.

Because this top1 means that he has achieved half of his goal, which is to become the best CSGO player in the world. This is recognition of his own choice and can also make him breathe a sigh of relief. After all, he has talents that are different from ordinary people, and he can still

There is no way to be the best, and that would be a bit ugly.

Zhao Yiyang turned on his mobile phone and logged into the hltv website directly. Sure enough, at the top of the website, he saw his and simple's names.

Zhao Yiyang didn't watch Simple because he had watched Simple in 2018 countless times. He directly clicked on his own link and started watching hltv's summary of his year.

[Introduction to the best players of 2018!]

[Yiyang “light” zhao successfully took first place in the 2018 TOP20 player rankings after an incredibly unusual year. 】

Below this sentence is Zhao Yiyang's annual business card. On the right is a photo of him cheering after winning the CAC championship, and on the left is the personal honors and personal data he received this year.

【#1LIGHT】

Above the picture, the most obvious large characters marked with a golden logo made Zhao Yiyang excited.

【I am the top 1 this year! I am the top 1!】

He took a long breath, and the corners of his mouth opened in a huge arc that could not be concealed, which happened to be seen by Robban sitting next to him.

"Haha! Young man, you are the second player after cold in 2016 to reach the peak of his debut. You both became the number one player in the world in your first official professional year!"

"Moreover, you are different from Cold. Your styles are very different, and the environments you live in are also different. It can be said that your performance this year is the strongest and most incredible I have ever seen in my 10 years of working in the industry.

An unparalleled personal performance! You are God, you are the God of 2018!"

Robban crazily praised his new players. This is normal, because under Zhao Yiyang's performance this year like a god descending from the earth, under the long list of cold numbers that do not need any description, Zhao Yiyang's personal dominance is the greatest in history.
Chapter completed!
