player is a point entity available in all Source games. The player itself or a bot. NPCs are not players. This entity still exists even if the player is dead.

Important:This is a preserved entity.
If the game has round restart mechanics this entity may not behave as expected:

More info

On a new round entities with this classname will intentionally not reset. You can use logic_auto to emulate resetting it. Killing it removes it forever, as it is not respawned on a new round. It cannot be spawned with a point_template. Parenting this with non-preserved entities may have undesirable effects.
