ropz's average rating over all 17 maps played was 6.5, one of the best in the team.

Throughout the tournament, ropz also showed excellent statistics in the success rate of first kills per round.

Of course, it's impossible not to note the phenomenal headshot percentage from ropz, which was 61.1%!

ropz also stood out for the number of multikills in the championship:

• ACE - 1 time
• 4 kills in a round - 2 times
  
• Triple kill - 15 times
  
• Double kill - 47 times
  

That very magnificent ACE performed by ropz against Team Vitality:

Overall, as we can see, hard work pays off. It was ropz who started training first in CS2 and consistently played it. Arriving at the tournament, he had the highest number of hours in the last two weeks, specifically 131!
