How were the best female players of 2023 in CS determined?

To determine the best CS player among women in 2023, we analyzed the statistics of all esports athletes who played in at least one ESL Impact League tournament. The calculation considered the individual player rating, average KDR, DPR, and ADR values, as well as championship prize places and the opinion of CS experts. Points were awarded to esports athletes for each indicator, which influenced their final position in the ranking.
