With 2011 behind we take a look at the top 20 CS 1.6 players of the year.

HLTV.org the source for all things related to Counter Strike 1.6 has announced their 2011 top 20 players list. The list is still incomplete as HLTV is going through each players achievements for the year 2011. How it works is over the next few weeks they release a new article about the next top player. Below is the quote from HLTV on how they determined the top 20 players:

"Same as last year, our main guiding factor in creating the ranking will be statistics from major LAN tournaments, as that is the most objective criteria and also because it is impossible to watch every match of every top player.

In addition to statistics, we will consider a player's influence on his team's success, individual awards and contribution in big matches. A minor addition to the selection process this year will be the results of our MVP and All-Star lineup votes gathered at the end of each tournament, which will make it easier to recognize individual awards."
