G2 Esports entered the 2023 CS:GO season on fire after winning the BLAST Premier World Finals 2022 and shortly after claiming IEM Katowice 2023. Half a year later, G2 triumphed on another significant stage, IEM Cologne 2023. These wins solidified them as one of the best teams in the world, and much of their success has come off the back of Nikola “NiKo” Kovač.
The Bosnian is one of the most consistent players in CS:GO. The most recent IEM Katowice final was the fourth in his history, but he lost the previous three. Nevertheless, NiKo has been constantly performing well, bringing his team to new heights.
His impressive stats constantly secure him the top spots in HLTV’s yearly rankings. He has been in the top five for the past six years. Let’s face it—NiKo is arguably the best CS:GO player to never win a Major. He hopes to finally secure one in Counter-Strike 2.
Despite being in a slight slump, NiKo is still bringing his best game to every tournament. So far in 2023, he’s one of the top-rated players along with his teammate m0NESY and Natus Vincere’s s1mple.
Here’s NiKo’s full list of video, mouse, crosshair, and viewmodel settings.
