Over a decade after the game was first released, the Counter-Strike esports field remains as strong as ever, with plenty of discussion around the best female CSGO players in the world. In this featured discussion, after CSGO has concluded, we’re looking at the all-time best female players.
The Top 10 Female CSGO Players of All Time
| Rank | Best Female CSGO Players |
|---|---|
| #10 | Julia ‘juliano’ Kiran |
| #9 | Giovanna ‘yungher’ Yungh |
| #8 | Vivienne ‘BiBiAhn’ Quach |
| #7 | Izabella ‘izaa’ Bieberbach Galle |
| #6 | Mounira ‘GooseBreeder’ Dobie |
| #5 | Angelika ‘Angelka’ Kozłowska |
| #4 | Mayline ‘ASTRA’ Champliaud |
| #3 | Olga ‘olga’ Rodrigues |
| #2 | Wiktoria ‘vicu’ Janicka |
| #1 | Ana ‘ANa’ Dumbravă |
With huge teams entering the women’s Counter-Strike scene at the end of CSGO, and Counter-Strike events like the ESL Impact League being set up to foster sustainable growth, there’s no doubt that female Counter-Strike is in the best place it’s ever been. To reflect on its history and celebrate its biggest personalities, we’ve created the ultimate top 10 female CSGO players of all time list.
10. Juliano
Julia ‘juliano’ Kiran is one of the most experienced female pros in the scene, having competed in CSGO since its inception in 2013. After competing for nearly a decade, she decided to leave CSGO back in 2021 to pursue a successful career in Valorant. However, juliano was tempted back to the game in early 2023 to lead the brand-new G2 Oya project.
Being world champion in two games simply wasn’t enough.
Over the years, juliano has established herself as a CSGO legend. Stints with teams like Bad Monkey Gaming, Team Secret, Beşiktaş Esports, and XSET saw her become known as one of the greatest IGLs of all time. It was this reputation that led G2 Oya to see juliano as the right player to bring the project to fruition.
However, the growing pains of G2 Oya were evident, with results not quite what the team would have hoped for from the off. Despite G2’s reputation in the male scene, the hierarchy of the female game was already established, which eventually led to the team disbanding.
Still, juliano hasn’t lost a step on the server, and comfortably slots into the list of the best female CSGO players of all time.
9. yungher
Despite having started her career just a few years ago in 2022, Giovanna ‘yungher’ Yungh has done enough to warrant a spot on the best female CSGO pro players of all time list.
At the end of CSGO she plied her trade for Fluxo Demons, who stood as one of the best CSGO teams in female South American Counter-Strike at the tail end of the game. Given the former dominance of FURIA fe in this department, it was a massively impressive achievement from the best CSGO team.
Leading from the front was yungher, who played as the AWPer for Fluxo Demons. 2023 saw her reputation increase massively, leading her team to multiple semi-final finishes at ESL Impact Katowice 2023 and ESL Impact League Season 3 respectively.
On an individual level, yungher’s statistics for 2023 make for impressive reading. She boasted a 1.21 K/D ratio for the year, but most importantly, yungher’s kills were having an impact on each round. These weren’t your basic exit frags and eco-farming – yungher was taking Fluxo Demons to victory on her own back.
8. BiBiAhn
Despite Vivienne ‘BiBiAhn’ Quach arriving late to the scene, she quickly established herself among the top 10 female CSGO players of all time with her efforts on the server.
After spending eight months with CLG Red, the disbanding of the team saw her and her teammates head to FlyQuest RED for a fresh adventure. As an entry fragger, BiBiAhn was the first point of contact with the enemy team, and her numbers in this regard were pretty strong. She boasted an opening kill ratio of 0.88, with a team win percentage of 77.8% whenever she got the opening entry in 2023. In short – when BiBiAhn entried, her team won the round the majority of the time.
In 2023, BiBiAhn dealt an average damage per round of 85.1, which is impressive in a role where being the first to die can be an accepted part of the job.
7. izaa
Although Izabella ‘izaa’ Bieberbach Galle began her career in 2018, 2022 was the year she made herself known to the world with her exquisite performances on the server. While her team FURIA fe struggled to deal with the loss of olga to HSG, izaa did a great job at steadying the ship. Amidst several changes for her team, this Counter-Strike female pro led from the front like all great in-game leaders, setting the standard on the server.
She played for FURIA fe since 2020 and did a brilliant job of ensuring that the team remained competitive until the tail end of the female CSGO scene. It’s not a job most would envy, given the strength of the likes of Nigma Galaxy and NAVI Javelins at the time.
Individually, izaa had some strong numbers to her name for 2023, with 87.5 average damage per round the highlight, as well as a solid 1.14 K/D ratio. She was not putting up star rifler numbers, but as the in-game leader, that wasn’t her role. You can’t really quantify the benefit of having a fragging IGL – it’s truly invaluable.
Counter-Strike In-game leaders are usually players toward the end of their careers looking to extend it by a few years. In this regard, izaa was the exception. She initially took up the mantle when she was just 17. In Counter-Strike terms, that’s an absurd level of maturity and responsibility to hold.
6. GooseBreeder
Like BiBiAhn, Mounira ‘GooseBreeder’ Dobie was part of the CLG Red roster that made the move to FlyQuest RED. Having been part of CLG Red since 2018, and Team Dignitas Female prior to that, GooseBreeder was one of the more experienced players in the female CSGO scene. With great performances sprinkled throughout her career, she deserves to be among the best female CSGO players of all time.
Moving to a new organization couldn’t have been easy, but GooseBreeder made the transition look seamless. Her form hadn’t lost a single step, with a 1.19 K/D ratio throughout 2023, even as they competed without an organization as ex-CLG Red. An impressive seven 1v2 clutch wins made her one of the best clutchers in the entire world, which is extremely unusual for an in-game leader.
What made GooseBreeder so interesting as a player is just how involved she was in every round. For example, her percentage of rounds in which she either got a kill, an assist, survived, or was traded stood at 73.3% meaning that it’s rare she didn’t get massively involved with the action. Often in-game leaders suffered from this regard as they try instead to put together the big picture from the sidelines. Not GooseBreeder.
5. Angelka
There’s no doubt that NAVI Javelins were the number 2 female CSGO team in the world, only falling behind Nigma Galaxy. A big part of that position is down to the impressive form of Angelika ‘Angelka’ Kozłowska, who played as a rifler for NAVI Javelins.
As a star rifler, the team relied on Angelka to be on form at all times. That consistency helped the team earn multiple ESL Impact Cash Cups as well as an IESF Female World Esports Championship 2022 under their belt. Every time she stepped onto the server, plenty was expected of her, and she always delivered.
For 2023, Angelka had some impressive individual numbers to boast about. In 54 maps for the year, she managed to get at least 20 kills in 26 of those maps. That’s the high-level consistency needed from your star rifler. She was the Queen of the clutch, too – of 19 1v1s presented to Angelka in 2023, she came out on top in 13 of them.
4. ASTRA
Mayline ‘ASTRA’ Champliaud is a player who goes overlooked within the community due to playing on NIP Impact for a large portion of her career, a team that has struggled to make a splash in the female CSGO space. The 23-year-old remains relatively new to the scene, with her NIP Impact stint being the most memorable. She joined in late 2022, but it’s 2023 when she truly began to leave her mark on the game.
Playing as both the in-game leader and the AWPer, ASTRA was tasked with a lot of impact on the server. It’s pretty common for IGLs to see a notable decline in fragging performance once they take up that mantle, but with ASTRA there wasn’t any sign of that. Her K/D ratio for 2022 was a solid 1.05, and in 2023 it shot up to 1.26. It’s a similar story with her average damage per round – 75 for 2022, and 86.1 for 2023.
Such an improvement in such a short time is remarkably impressive.
One thing that can’t be underestimated is her form against the big teams. In ten maps against both NAVI Javelins and Nigma Galaxy, ASTRA had a negative K/D ratio in just three of them. In a massively underperforming team, she did very well to prosper in those sorts of matches.
3. olga
There is no question that Olga ‘olga’ Rodrigues is one of the best female CSGO players of all time. That’s why it was such a surprise to see her depart FURIA fe in early 2023 when the Brazilian team was at the peak of their powers.
Despite not enjoying a lot of success with her new teammates, her individual performances proved once again why she is one of the best female CSGO players to ever do it. After returning to the game back in 2018, her time at Black Dragons Female and FURIA fe established her as one of the best riflers on the planet, and 2023 was no different.
With a K/D ratio of 1.17 for the year, there’s no doubt that the 29-year-old Brazilian still had what it takes to dominate CSGO until the end. Her damage per round of 94.5 for the year placed her among the very best of them too. When olga was on the server, there always was some serious damage being done.
The only concern for her CSGO female pro career was the move to HSG. There’s no doubt that the signing of olga was a coup for the Chinese organization, which simply didn’t hold the standing in the game that FURIA fe did. The team didn’t live up to her high standards in CSGO, but she remained among the elite until the very end.
2. vicu
You simply can’t make a list of the top 10 female CSGO players of all time and not talk about Wiktoria ‘vicu’ Janicka of NAVI Javelins. While the team continuously fell short of Nigma Galaxy in CSGO, on an individual level vicu was simply excellent.
Her stats for 2023 were utterly crazy. A 1.46 K/D ratio, 85.7 damage per round, and twelve 1v2 clutches under her belt. Across 54 maps in 2023, she went positive in all but eleven and managed at least 20 kills in 33 of them. As an AWPer, fragging was supposed to be her whole game, but vicu showed some incredible consistency that put her head and shoulders above most of the field.
Her ascension made the peak of the female CSGO scene all the more competitive, and with a little more improvement, they could have been the team to dethrone Nigma Galaxy in CSGO.
1. ANa
Here we have it, the best female CSGO player of all time – Ana ‘ANa’ Dumbravă. Her Nigma Galaxy team were the most dominant force in female CSGO history, and it truly seemed that no one could stop them. If they were at an event, they won it.
As the only former Nigma Galaxy player on this list, it’s clear that ANa stood out above the rest. There was never a doubt about who the star of the show was. ANa was capable of putting in those huge performances when needed, but her real quality was her overall consistency. It was so rare for her to have a bad day on the server, a trait that saw the Romanian AWPer win multiple competitions in 2023. One particular statistic that stood out about ANa’s amazing 2023 form is that against female opposition, her K/D ratio was negative in only two maps, again showing the level of consistency she managed to achieve in CSGO.
Having been part of Nigma Galaxy since 2021, their female CSGO scene domination lasted close to two years, which comfortably nets Nigma Galaxy the title of best female CSGO team of all time and ANa the best female CSGO player of all time.
