A knife frag in professional Counter-Strike has always been something more than a regular kill. It is a risk, an opportunity to humiliate the opponent, and a moment almost guaranteed to make the highlights. And if such episodes are collected across entire careers, the scene\u2019s legends have their own absolute \u201cbutchers.\u201d<\/p>\n

JW remains unreachable<\/strong><\/h2>\n

First place in the all-time ranking belongs to JW \u2014 the Swede already has 73 knife frags to his name. The former fnatic star was known throughout his career for an aggressive and at times completely unpredictable style, so his presence at the top of such a list looks entirely logical.<\/p>\n

s1mple is the closest to him with 69 knife kills. The gap is only four frags, and the Ukrainian continues his professional career, so theoretically JW\u2019s all-time first place could still come under threat.<\/p>\n

Snax is far ahead of the rest of the pursuers<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Third place belongs to Snax with 44 frags. The Pole is significantly behind the two leaders, but at the same time has a large cushion over fourth place. For a player who has competed at the professional level for many years, this is another unusual statistic that highlights the scale of his career.<\/p>\n

The gap between Snax and s1mple is as many as 25 knife kills, so the ranking is effectively split into two parts right now. JW and s1mple are having a separate battle for the top, while the rest of the legends are already noticeably lower.<\/p>\n

flusha and Stewie2K close out the top five<\/strong><\/h2>\n

In fourth place is flusha, also known by his old nickname Se\u00f1or Vac. The Swede finished his career with 33 knife frags and remained one of the most recognizable representatives of fnatic\u2019s golden era.<\/p>\n

Stewie2K closes out the top five with 32 kills. The American trails flusha by only one frag, so the tightest battle in the lower part of the top five formed specifically between them.<\/p>\n\n

Legends of different generations in one ranking<\/strong><\/h2>\n

The special feature of this list is that it brought together players from completely different eras and styles. JW and flusha are associated with fnatic\u2019s dominance, Snax with the legendary Polish roster, Stewie2K became one of the symbols of North American Counter-Strike, and s1mple is one of the main individual phenomena of the modern scene.<\/p>\n

The top five currently looks like this:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. JW \u2014 73 frags,<\/li>\n
  2. s1mple \u2014 69,<\/li>\n
  3. Snax \u2014 44,<\/li>\n
  4. flusha \u2014 33,<\/li>\n
  5. Stewie2K \u2014 32.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Out of the entire five, the most interesting race remains the one for first place: s1mple is separated from JW\u2019s historic mark by only four knife kills.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
