Only one significant tournament was held in May: BLAST.tv Paris Major 2023, and it was something. This article will summarize the month's results and determine the best professional player for this period.
When forming the top, we analyzed the statistics of more than eighty athletes who played at the last Major in the history of CS:GO.

For each indicator, the players were awarded points, the sum of which affected the final position in the rating.
About the Cover.gg rating system
Evaluating a player's performance in a CS:GO match is difficult, as each round has unique aspects, such as setting a bomb or getting the first kill. Therefore, the optimal approach is to calculate the rating of an athlete for each separate round and obtain a general score for the entire map.
We are confident that Cover.gg provides the most accurate rating that allows you to easily and conveniently evaluate the results of each player in each round on each map and match. In addition, this rating considers new factors, such as the choice of the side, economy, and many others, which should have been considered in the ratings. The maximum rating for each is 10 points.
