French Counter-Strike superstar Mathieu ZywOo Herbaut has officially made history. The Team Vitality AWPer has become the first player ever to reach 100 aces in official CS matches, a milestone no one else has managed before.
ZywOo achieved the record at just 25 years old, further cementing his reputation as one of the most dominant and consistent players the Counter-Strike scene has ever seen.
The Record-Breaking Moment At BLAST Bounty
The historic ace came during Team Vitality’s match against EYEBALLERS at BLAST Bounty Winter 2026. Playing on Overpass, ZywOo wiped out all five opponents in the opening round, setting the tone immediately.
One of the victims was none other than Swedish legend Jesper JW Wecksell, who ironically holds the all-time record for total kills on HLTV with 54,057. It was a fitting moment, symbolising a new era while nodding to Counter-Strike’s long history.
A Compilation That Shows Just How Special ZywOo Is
Shortly after the milestone, French YouTuber Croissant Strike released a full compilation video featuring every pentakill ZywOo has recorded in official play. The video quickly spread across the community, highlighting not just the number, but the sheer variety of situations in which ZywOo delivers aces.
From clutch rounds to opening executions, the compilation is a reminder that this achievement is built on years of consistency at the very highest level.
How ZywOo Compares To Other CS Superstars
While many elite players have racked up impressive ace counts, none have reached ZywOo’s level yet. The closest challenger at tier one is Nikola NiKo Kovač with 91 aces.
Other notable names trail further behind, showing just how difficult this milestone really is.
Star Players’ Ages And Ace Counts
- Mathieu “ZywOo” Herbaut (25), 100
- Nikola “NiKo” Kovač (28), 91
- Johannes “tabseN” Wodartz (30), 87
- İsmailcan “XANTARES” Dörtkardeş (30), 71
- Oleksandr s1mple Kostyliev (28), 70
- Nikolai “dev1ce” Reedtz (30), 55
- Dan “apEX” Madesclaire (32), 48
- Danil “donk” Kryshkovets (18), 33
The rapid rise of donk is especially eye-catching, with 33 aces before even turning 19, but ZywOo’s long-term dominance still stands alone.
A Milestone That May Stand For Years
Reaching 100 aces is not just about raw aim. It reflects game sense, positioning, consistency, and the ability to perform under pressure across multiple versions of Counter-Strike. For now, ZywOo stands alone at the top.
With plenty of competitive years still ahead of him, the question is no longer who will reach 100 first, but how far ZywOo can push the record before anyone else catches up.
