Denis "electroNic" Sharipov from Natus Vincere climbed up to the 7th spot on the HLTV.org Best Players of 2021 list. He got a bit higher than his younger teammate Valerii "b1t" Vakhovskyi who finished 9th. 

ElectroNic had an outstanding year performance-wise, as he had a positive rating on every single tournament he's been to. And on every but one of them he had a 5%+ above average rating, which highlights his peak form even more. 

NAVI themselves had undoubtfully the best year in their history, as the club managed to win 8 big tournaments, including the long-awaited PGL Stockholm Major. That was the first-ever major trophy for the Ukrainian organization.
