Counterstrike Global Offensive (CS: GO) is one of the most played first-person shooter titles in the world. The Global Offensive iteration has brilliantly held the legacy of the game and continues to do so. CS: GO has a flourishing competitive scene with top-level players competing against each other at major tournaments.

Some professional players feed on the pressure to produce some breathtaking performances. While every player is talented and skilful, they have unique ways of playing the game.

One way of playing the game is by using a left-handed player model. The default setting in CS: GO is a right-handed player model, where the in-game character holds the weapons in his right hand.

Although a few players keep changing between their view models, these are the five best professional players who have used the left-handed player model in the past.
