ZywOo wins MVP at StarLadder StarSeries Fall 2026

Mathieu “ZywOo” Herbaut was named the StarLadder StarSeries Fall 2026 MVP by bo3.gg following the tournament’s conclusion and Vitality’s victory. The French AWPer finished the event as its highest-rated player with a 7.3 rating and 92 average damage per round. In this article, we take a closer look at ZywOo’s performance and the four other players who received EVP awards.

ZywOo’s Performance Helped Vitality Win the Title

Mathieu “ZywOo” Herbaut received the StarLadder StarSeries Fall 2026 MVP award after an impressive individual performance that helped Vitality become the champion. His tournament statistics were:

• 0.89 kills per round
• 0.57 deaths per round
• 92 average damage per round
• 7.3 rating
• 13 maps played

ZywOo recorded the highest rating among all tournament participants and was Vitality’s main individual force. He combined strong fragging output with the lowest deaths-per-round figure among the event’s five best players.

The Frenchman finished tournament with a +0.32 K-D difference per round. His consistency was particularly valuable throughout Vitality’s upper-bracket run and fina of lower-bracket againts FURIA, as the team progressed to grand final and defeated Aurora 3-1 to claim the title.

Tournament EVPs

KSCERATO — 6.9 Rating

• 0.81 kills per round
• 0.63 deaths per round
• 90 average damage per round
• 12 maps played

Kaike “KSCERATO” Cerato was ZywOo’s closest challenger in terms of individual statistics. The FURIA player finished the tournament with a 6.9 rating and averaged 90 damage per round.

KSCERATO also maintained a positive kill-death ratio across 12 maps. His consistent play helped FURIA reach the lower bracket final, but despite his strong performance against all teams, he struggled against Vitality and was unable to show the same level of performance like against MIBR and MOUZ.

insani — 6.7 Rating

• 0.83 kills per round
• 0.68 deaths per round
• 90 average damage per round
• 10 maps played

Felipe “insani” Yuji finished StarLadder StarSeries Fall 2026 with the third-highest rating among all participants. Across ten maps, the MIBR player averaged 0.83 kills and 90 damage per round.

insani trailed KSCERATO only slightly in average damage while surpassing him in kills per round. His statistics earned the Brazilian a place among the tournament’s most notable individual performers.

Jimpphat — 6.4 Rating

• 0.71 kills per round
• 0.60 deaths per round
• 76 average damage per round
• 11 maps played

Jimi “Jimpphat” Salo was one of Aurora’s key players during its run to the grand final. The Finnish player completed 11 maps with an average rating of 6.4 and recorded only 0.60 deaths per round.

Jimpphat’s kill and damage numbers were lower compared to the top three players in the rankings, but he was still one of the most consistent players of the tournament. The series against NAVI on Nuke was probably Jimpphat’s standout performance. He ended the map with 23 kills, 11 deaths and a 7.9 rating. In the upper bracket final, he also had two decent maps, getting 7.6 and 7.5 ratings. The grand final was a different story, though, as he wasn’t able to keep the same level there. 

ropz — 6.3 Rating

• 0.74 kills per round
• 0.59 deaths per round
• 75 average damage per round
• 13 maps played

Robin “ropz” Kool was the second Vitality representative among the five best players at StarLadder StarSeries Fall 2026. The Estonian finished the tournament with a 6.3 rating and averaged 0.74 kills per round.

ropz also recorded one of the best survival figures among the leading participants, ranking behind only ZywOo in deaths per round. His consistent play complemented the French AWPer’s output and helped Vitality finish the tournament with the trophy.

ZywOo Was Vitality’s Main Driving Force on the Road to the Title

StarLadder StarSeries Fall 2026 ended with ZywOo dominating the individual rankings. His 7.3 rating was 0.4 higher than KSCERATO’s second-place figure. The Frenchman also led the five highest-rated players in kills per round, average damage, and fewest deaths per round.

ZywOo’s outstanding statistics were accompanied by the most important team result: Vitality’s tournament victory. His consistency across 13 maps and contribution to the championship run made the AWPer the undisputed StarLadder StarSeries Fall 2026 MVP according to bo3.gg.
