HLTV Hall of Fame

Step into the hallowed halls of Counter-Strike history! HLTV is proud to present a unique, playable map dedicated to celebrating the titans of our game.

The HLTV Hall of Fame is more than just a map; it's an interactive museum and a digital playground designed to preserve the legacy of Counter-Strike's greatest icons. It serves as a time portal for those who witnessed history live and an essential history book for those who have started their CS journey more recently.

Hall of Fame Class of 2024

Two iconic Swedish duos were the first ones to be voted into the Hall of Fame:

• Tommy "Potti" Ingemarsson: The founder and leader of Ninjas in Pyjamas, one of the most dominant dynasties in Counter-Strike history. A master of the fundamentals and a true clutch player, Potti defined what it meant to be a winner.
• Emil "HeatoN" Christensen: Counter-Strike's first global superstar. With lightning-fast reflexes and iconic plays that are still revered today, HeatoN was the face of a generation and instrumental in putting esports on the map.
• Christopher "GeT_RiGhT" Alesund: The ultimate lurker. Famous for his uncanny game sense and pioneering a playstyle that won him and NiP countless titles, GeT_RiGhT's mastery of spray control is legendary.
• Patrik "f0rest" Lindberg: The timeless prodigy. A player whose fluid movement, incredible aim, and adaptability have allowed him to compete at the highest level for over two decades, making him one of the most respected and skilled players of all time.

Hall of Fame Class of 2024

Two iconic Swedish duos were the first ones to be voted into the Hall of Fame:

• Raphael "⁠cogu⁠" Camargo: The finest Brazilian AWPer of the 2000s, the man that helped put his country on the map. One of Brazil’s most decorated players that inspired a new generation of talent, including the likes of Gabriel “FalleN” Toledo.
• Yegor "⁠markeloff⁠" Markelov: Without markeloff, Natus Vincere would not have become the global powerhouse thy are today. One of the most influential players during the final years of CS 1.6 thanks to his hyper-aggressive AWPing.
• Olof "⁠olofmeister⁠" Kajbjer: The versatile superstar that powered fnatic to an era that included ten LAN titles and back-to-back Major trophies. He was the best player of the year in 2015, found himself on multiple Top20 lists, and remained relevant as a role player for FaZe until the end of his career.
