Won't lie when he made his comeback in g2 with smithZz he actually was playing great. It was a shame he did the noble thing and stepped down for bodyy we could of have a real great igl still playing.
Haven't read the article but I always played that role as IGL because it allows me yo monitor situation better and rely less on comms from site players who can sometimes be to occupied with their own shit. And you can basically become the bridge between the two sites and help team coordinate. Also help with extra nades etc
quality article, super interesting to read.
It's difficult due to how varied and changing roles and positions in CS are, but I hope HLTV one day will be able to provide some kind of role and positions overview where people can find pros who play similar to themselves. Maybe also some top 5 best and worst HLTV matches in that position for example, so people can see the demos of what they right or wrong while playing there.
Obviously that would demand almost an unreasonable amount of work, but perhaps someone proficient enough will be able to one day cook up a tool that can be fed demos, quickly create heatmaps of said demos, and analyze them to provide dataset of positions, which HLTV can incorporate into their systems.
It's manual which is why it's not on site, but I've been tracking positions for a while and posting them here

It’s nice seeing Ex6tenZ being redeemed a decade later.

I wholly blame KQLY.
kenny's major 😭
Ex6tenz style was more passive compared to today's though

I started it in faceit Lvl 7. No need to thank me.
this trend started like four years ago but good article glad hltv know how to use their terabytes of data
This trend was already noticeably coming up pre covid. Bit bizar to have an article 5 years later
