Congratulations to Guardian! He was great this year at 50,000 and 100,000$ tournaments. But I think he's a bit of a choker in the biggest tournaments and here's why:

Let's look at his statistics at 250,000$ tournaments this year. The most stacked tournaments where everyone is trying their hardest and come in with practice hours, unlike the small tournaments:

First off, in Cluj he was just amazing until the final: http://www.hltv.org/?pageid=246&playerid=2757&eventid=1617

Cologne: http://www.hltv.org/?pageid=246&playerid=2757&statsfilter=2052&eventid=1666 negative rating on all maps except 1, dropping out in the quarters. Really a terrible performance.

Katowice: http://www.hltv.org/?pageid=246&playerid=2757&statsfilter=2052&eventid=1611 here he rating farmed against Flipsid3 and Vox Eminor and had under 1.0 rating against tier 1 teams, with several horrible map performances. He went out in the quarters yet again with minimal impact.

Now let's look at the smaller but still big tournaments of the year, namely the 250k non-major ones:

In Dubai he had a 0,75 rating and went out in groups, absolutely atrocious: http://www.hltv.org/?pageid=246&playerid=2757&statsfilter=2052&eventid=1882

At ESL Pro League Season 2 he was decent until the final against fnatic, where he choked entirely. Had he showed up they would no doubt have won the series: http://www.hltv.org/?pageid=246&playerid=2757&statsfilter=2052&eventid=1986

Those are all the 250k tournaments he even attended this year. But less dollar is on the line, he shows up like none other. Much like device. Still a great player but he might want to to work on his nerves if he wants to be the best.
