Exceptional EVPs from BLAST Premier: Fall Final 2024
While m0NESY claimed the MVP, several other players delivered exceptional performances and earned EVP (Exceptionally Valuable Player) honors for their contributions throughout the event:
Mathieu "ZywOo" Herbaut (Vitality) – Rating 7.3:ZywOo was once again the standout for Vitality, putting up a stellar performance in the semifinals despite his team falling short against G2. ZywOo, who continues to solidify his position as one of the best players in the world, led his team with consistent fragging and smart play. Unfortunately, Vitality was unable to maintain the same level of performance, resulting in their semifinal exit. Nonetheless, ZywOo’s impact was undeniable, and his rating of 7.3 reflects his efforts.
Ihor "w0nderful" Zhdanov (NAVI) – Rating 6.9:w0nderful had one of his best tournaments for NAVI, playing a crucial role in their journey to the final. His performance was instrumental in several key victories, and his rating of 6.9 demonstrates his growing proficiency as an AWPer. However, his performance in the final against G2 was less than stellar, and his struggles were one of the key reasons NAVI failed to overcome G2’s dominance.
Helvijs "broky" Saukants (FaZe) – Rating 7.0:broky was a standout player for FaZe, providing consistent performances throughout the tournament. While FaZe didn’t make it to the final, broky’s reliability and sharp aim gave his team hope for a return to form in the future. His rating of 7.0 shows his potential to be a driving force for FaZe in upcoming tournaments, as he continues to be one of the most consistent players on the roster.
G2’s triumph at BLAST Premier: Fall Final 2024 and m0NESY’s MVP award highlight the team’s resurgence this year. With two titles and a grand final appearance at Esports World Cup 2024, G2 is proving to be one of the most formidable teams in the current CS2 era. m0NESY’s performance, along with the contributions of key players like ZywOo, w0nderful, and broky, showcases the incredible individual talent on display throughout the tournament.
As the CS2 competitive scene continues to evolve, m0NESY and G2 will look to build on their success and remain at the top of the global rankings. With IEM Rio 2024 fast approaching, fans can expect even more thrilling performances from these top-tier players.
