Among the standout performers, three players caught our attention as high-potential prospects for future ESEA rosters and Malta-based teams. Here’s a look at the top rising CS2 players from this year’s event.
1. Harrison_-_
Harrison is currently one of Malta’s few Faceit Level 10 players actively competing on the island. He first stood out during the recent MCL, prompting the question: who is this guy? He now plays for OrderZero, one of the few Maltese teams currently competing in ESEA Open 9. The roster includes former Berserk players Mysticmind and Slotzz, alongside Pocho and Scorpyy.
📊 Harrison – Key Stats
- Faceit Elo: Level 10
- Faceit K/D: 1.30
- HLTV Rating (Tournament): 1.19 across 5 maps
- Standout Map: 1.85 HLTV rating on Overpass (Lower Bracket)
Harrison made his presence known early in the tournament, delivering uncommon performances in both the opening match and Game 2 of the Grand Final. His Overpass map was particularly dominant and instrumental in keeping his team alive.
While OrderZero haven’t had the strongest start in ESEA Open 9, the potential is there. With more time to build chemistry, Harrison and his squad could be real contenders in the local Malta circuit and beyond.
2. Sirus04
Sirus04 is a lesser-known name in the Malta scene but may have the highest ceiling of them all. Unlike many local players, Sirus prefers CS2 Premier over Faceit, with only 148 Faceit matches to his name, but don’t let that fool you.
📊 Sirus04 – Key Stats
- Faceit Elo: 1400 (Level 7), but underutilised
- Premier Elo: Peaked at mid-19,000s (close to Faceit Level 10)
- Premier K/D: 1.40
- HLTV Rating (Tournament): 1.15 overall, 1.29 excluding Ancient
Despite a rough Ancient match dragging down his average, Sirus consistently put up high-impact numbers throughout the Draft Cup. His lifetime HLTV rating sits at 1.28, even with limited exposure.
To Sirus: Why aren’t you playing Faceit more? Your Premier stats translate directly to top-tier Faceit levels. You’re queuing 5+ matches per day; it’s time a team picks you up for ESEA. Your mechanics and performance clearly belong on a bigger stage.
3. eraxseL902
Maksim “eraxseL902” is no stranger to the scene, having already been dubbed one of Malta’s top young CS2 prospects. At just 17 years old, he played alongside Zelli0n and pal9 on the championship-winning Team Bionic.
📊 eraxseL902 – Key Stats
- Age: 17
- Team: Team Bionic (Draft Cup Champions)
- Stats: High HS%, solid K/D, ADR, and 2nd-best HLTV rating in the tournament
Maksim kept pace with the top fraggers on his team, showing maturity and composure beyond his years. His mechanical skill is already elite, with crisp aim and excellent positioning. If Club Malta’s roster ceiling isn’t high enough for him, he should consider testing himself with stronger lineups.
Final Thoughts: The Future of Maltese CS2
Whether it’s Harrison continuing to dominate with OrderZero, Sirus04 finally making the switch to Faceit and joining an ESEA roster, or Maksim climbing the ranks to bigger teams, all three of these players are worth watching closely.
As the Maltese CS2 scene continues to evolve, these names may very well shape its future, in local tournaments, ESEA divisions, or even international competition.
