Dmitry sh1ro Sokolov, 24 years old from Team Spirit, ranked 5th in the top 20 best players. Counterattack 2 according to HLTV.
The average player rating this past season was 1.20. With the team, he won IEM Cologne 2025, PGL Astana 2025, BLAST Bounty Spring 2025 and BLAST Bounty Fall 2025, and won many other tournaments. In addition, Sokolov also won six individual awards.
I think starting the year like this after winning a major tournament will motivate any team and give you confidence that you're on the right track, which was the case for us.
The final part of the rankings will be revealed during the HLTV Awards 2025 gala, held in Belgrade, Serbia.
