L4D2 best players/ratings

[Repton]

Is their a list available of best players, player stats?

[Blaquicat]

No list, however, you can access individual player stats by accessing their profile..

It would be hard to rank players because of the nature of the game.

The best players, as far as we can tell, are the ones that participate in tournaments for the competitive community and consistently come out on top. Team names change quite often as rosters shift, but there are some 'well known' names like nv- (team from Asia with something like a 41-2 tournament record -- retired), or Serenity (team from EU, winners of several tournaments), or Pubstars (NA team with lots of high finishes as well).

In all likelihood you have never seen these players in Vanilla pubic games unless they're warming up, nor have you ever seen them play at all, because they all play on private servers on a competitive configuration.

A lot of good players abandon playing with randoms and prefer to play with people they know, it's like that in all modes. For example: youu'll (almost) never see someone with a survival world record playing with random people in a public game (unless they're on mall attium and carry the whole team) or an ESL pro playing with randoms on vanilla versus/scavenge

Pretty much any good player find their sub-group and sticks with people they know

The competitive community has frequent pick-up games and it is common for players to play with people outside of their team or inner circle. Scrimmages only tend to happen around tournaments so that teams can practice together. The rest of the time, the competitive community plays together as a whole with captains drafting different teams for each pick-up game.

They also occasionally play Vanilla sometimes, like when PUGs or Scrims are not available. It is fairly common to run into a competitive player in Vanilla (see everyone who spams !r, !tank), but rarer to run into the very best (top 1%) competitive players, mostly because there are so few of them. Very few people abandon playing with randoms altogether. The L4D2 community just isn't big enough for that.

ESL has not supported L4D2 since like 2011.

See my stats and find for yourself. I was too late on Youtube to be famous, but still, there are no one match for my world records, yet. There are other good players in other aereas, but versus/campaign/realism settings are about team, the strenght is measured when someone dares to play solo. Guess you will find very few of those, despite of me.

NV hailing from Asia is the best team in the world.... undisputed. I've never seen a team play better. They won like 95% of their comp matches, and beat the 2nd best team in the world (from NA) by a margin of like 2000 pts in the finals.

Damn i see a comment that didn't age well

[♪ ♫ ДРѲĹ ♫ ♪]

The best L4D2 players are those that are courteous, helpful, don't speed run, assist others, don't spam the voice lines, don't start crescendo events before everyone is ready or throw bile on the first thing they see moving!
