All winners and nominees of HLTV CS:GO Awards 2022: s1mple, m0NESY, NiKo, and more
Notable members of the CS:GO community convened in Stockholm, Sweden, on January 14, 2023, to celebrate the latest iteration of the HLTV Awards. Top athletes and organizations in CS:GO's esports circuit were commemorated at this grand event for their efforts in the 2022 season.
The HLTV Awards 2022 included the major awards such as Player of the Year and Team of the Year, which were given out by HLTV, and another set of awards which were determined by a panel of active professional players, on-air talent, and HLTV.
At the HLTV Awards ceremony last night, the spotlight was on the Ukrainian AWPer s1mple, as he defeated his French counterpart, ZywOo, to earn the award for Player of the Year for a record-breaking third time (2018, 2021, 2022). Cloud9's AWP talent, sh1ro, bagged the award for the third-best player of 2022.
NAVI's s1mple further enhanced his legacy by claiming the award for the AWPer of the Year, and by securing the AWPer's spot in the Best Five of the Year. Earlier in 2022, s1mple managed to win both the Esports Award for PC Player of the Year and ESL's CS:GO Player of the Decade (2012-22) award as well.
The 2022 season was, by no means, s1mple's best year. However, after taking NAVI to a runners-up finish at PGL Major Antwerp and IEM Cologne, and by securing the BLAST Premier Spring Finals victory, s1mple managed to emerge as CS:GO's best player once again.
G2's 17-year-old AWPer, m0NESY, was yet another player who stood out at the HLTV Awards. His exceptional performances throughout the season helped him earn awards for Rookie of the Season and his prowess on 'The Big Green' deservedly handed him the Highlight of the Year award for his remarkable 1v4 clutch vs MIBR on the Inferno map.
