    Get Right and Zywoo totally deserve to be mentioned.
    I don't think I have to explain about Get Right anymore.
    While Zywoo's playstyle doesn't revolve around aggressiveness and insane reaction shots like KennyS and s1mple, he almost never miss when holding an angle. Although he can make it up with great AK spray control, to be fair, his AWPing ability on T side should be put into question as his flicks are less reliable than that of s1mple or KennyS's. But all things considered, maybe his playstyle isn't as flashy and impactful as other AWPers on the list, I still think he deserves an honorable mention.

    The most versatile player ever I've ever seen in Olofmeister in 2015. He's like the ultimate glue man. Literally was lurking, entrying, anchoring, great utility, one of the best secondary awpers (Sometimes AWPs over JW in certain maps). Just the perfect package. Was doing all this while being the best player in the world. His game was incredible to watch. He would make any all time team better with what he brought.
