[Top 15] CSGO Best Asian Players

CSGO Best Asian Players who continue to put up numbers, but not enough to make it to Grand Finals of international tournaments.


The Asian CSGO scene has been under the spotlight since the launch of CSGO nearly 10 years ago.

It has a broad selection of talents, a wide range of prominent players, and some of the most famous organizations to support them.

In this list, we’ll present the top 15 CSGO best Asian players, explaining how they earned their spots and what made every one of them famous.

 

Methodology

Since there are more than 45 Asian countries in the world, it’s an impossible task to surf through them all, seeking information on their best players.

Therefore, I’ve gone through all the nationalities that made it to CSGO Asia minor championships and searched for data in those countries.

This yielded a list of players from China, Mongolia, Malaysia, Korea, and Jordan.

I’ve collected the data, used HLTV’s rating system, chose players from the aforementioned countries, filtered the players' performances in the last 12 months, and counted all the LAN and online matches on all maps.

 

Top 15 CSGO Best Asian Players

#15 Gan-Erdene "dobu" Batbold (Role: Rifler)

We are kicking off our list of the Top 15 CSGO Best Asian Players with the Mongolian player dobu.

He’s team NKT’s rifler, who’s been playing professionally for 7 years and, at the age of 23, has earned more than $62,000 throughout his career.

dobu doesn’t enjoy an impressive K/D difference but has earned a 1.09 rating over 91 maps.

What makes dobu a hero for his team is his clutching ability. He has won 2 out of each 3 1v1 clutches he’s been part of during the last year.

The AK-47 is his favorite weapon, with 737 kills throughout the same time span, compared to the M4a1-s’ 429.
