frozen Finishes 8th in HLTV Top 20 Players of 2025

FaZe Clan rifler David “frozen” Čerňanský has secured 8th place in the HLTV Top 20 Players of 2025 ranking. The Slovak player delivered one of the most consistent individual seasons of his career, which ultimately earned him a spot in the top ten of the prestigious list.

Throughout 2025, frozen played a key role in FaZe’s deep runs at the biggest CS2 events of the year. The team finished second at the StarLadder Budapest Major, while also claiming third-place finishes at PGL Bucharest and BLAST Open London. Over the course of the season, frozen posted an average rating of 1.17, highlighting his reliability against top-tier opposition.

As part of HLTV’s traditional “Bold Prediction” segment, frozen was asked to name a player he believes could become a future star. His choice was Liam “MaiL09” Tügel from Metizport. According to frozen, he noticed the young player some time ago after watching his highlights and believes that, with the right career development, MaiL09 has strong potential to break into the next generation of top CS2 players.
