Analytical CS:GO website Scope.gg released some performance data following the conclusion of BLAST Premier Fall Finals 2022. According to their estimations, NAVI's superstar Oleksandr "s1mple" Kostyliev showed the worst reaction time using the sniper rifles.

The best one by that metric was Fredrik "REZ" Sterner from NiP. His average time to damage (TTD) an opponent was 199ms.

Heroic's Martin "stavn" Lund scored 15 wallbang kills, along with 17 smoke frags. Robin "ropz" Kool from FaZe Clan once again confirmed his status as one of the most mechanically gifted CS:GO players, posting an accuracy of 59%.

Kane: "I can't say that s1mple behaved that way often when I was coaching NAVI"

S1mple's dropoff is unsexpected, considering he was always viewed as a very fast AWPer. The following image is a data example by another website, Leetify, taken at IEM Cologne 2021. Here, s1mple has over 100ms advantage compared to other players.

BLAST Premier Fall Finals 2022 took place in Copenhagen from November 23 to 27. The eight best teams of the Fall series have split the $425,000 prize pool. S1mple and NAVI dropped out in the quarterfinals, beaten by NiP.
