s1mple secures CS:GO Asia Championships MVP

18/6/2018 - 14:57

Natus Vincere's Aleksandr "⁠s1mple⁠" Kostyliev has been selected the Most Valuable Player (MVP) of the CS:GO Asia Championships by HLTV.org and betway.

The Na`Vi star completed another impressive individual tournament with a 1.12 series rating in the final, the team's second-highest, raising eyebrows on Nuke, where he posted a 1.66 rating.

s1mple, who ended the tournament with a 1.23 rating, was Natus Vincere's top performer in the group matches against Envy and NIP, and had one great map in the two playoff series that his team played.

s1mple takes his fourth MVP medal in 2018

Adil "⁠ScreaM⁠" Benrlitom ultimately missed out on the award after being only the second-best player in the semi-final series against Natus Vincere, with Paweł "⁠byali⁠" Bieliński also finishing just behind s1mple after his level dropped on the last two maps of the final. Ioann "⁠Edward⁠" Sukhariev was another strong contender for the award after impressing in all of Na`Vi's map wins in the playoffs.

s1mple featured in the top five in 11 stats categories, though he led in none. He had the third-highest KDD (+54) and kills per round ratio (0.84), and was joint-best in terms of opening kills per round (0.14) and total opening kills (35).

This brings s1mple's MVP tally to six, with the 20-year-old now boasting four medals in 2018 after also scooping the prize at DreamHack Masters Marseille and at the StarSeries Seasons 4 and 5. The 20-year-old will receive the medal at ESL One Cologne, Na`Vi's next event, as HLTV.org was not present at the CS:GO Asia Championships.

Good, deserved for the best player of all time.

Portugish or Portuguese dumbass? Compare Sixer with Fox Lmao. He fail ez shots,when his team need him. Even when KennyS was on Envy, he failed so many shots, when he was the 2º awper. Tell me about ur "Underrated player" buddy, where is he? Leaving envy LMFAO. Admit that Sixer is not the "Underrrated player" u think he is. Just Like Ronaldo and Griezmann ROFL.

2018-06-18 17:25

first, sixer was support and dont be used like an awper, fox was always used like a star player, so not equal, the problem was from happy not sixer, and sixer played tier1 fox tier 2-3 fox is the most overrated player of all time because only portuguese player who played in goods teams and all the portugueses sucks him, but he is a shit

Idc what u think, u are talking about a guy that have played 3 maps in 1 mounth on lan, and Sixer 20, he just played against one tier 1 team, Navy Rofl. Stop giving arguments without meaning. Idk why am i talking to a guy, that cant even write english. U dont know what are u talking about. And where was sixer when fox was on Faze? Hm? Nobody knows, cuz he was on a shit team, Lmao. Stop defending a guy that cant even reach Fox's feet. The most overrrated of all time? His carrer says it all buddy. Kinguin,G2, Faze etc. I will not anwser u anymore, but take a thing in ur shitmind, nobody sucks Fox brotha we just love cs:go, and yes u right, he and Mutiris are the best from our Country,but who cares, u are just like a kid trying to have reason, without sense. Have a nice day

2018-06-19 15:41

SIXER is underrated as a rifle but not an AWPer. Not as underrated as many people say but he doesn't deserve as much shit as he gets since hes even said he doesn't like AWPing a ton.

2018-06-18 19:14

Just saying that he have done a bad tourney since they faced VG. And, his score sucks, that's the reason why i anwsered the french guy. He didnt even have a positive score. And this guy comes and say that fox is worst. Fox have done better things than sixer. He reached 3 major semi-finals, one with Sk last year. Have a nice day

2018-06-18 19:22

I will have a nice day thank you! <3

2018-06-18 20:13

You had a good comment going until you mentioned Greziman. He might not be at ronaldos level but he's an extremely good player.

2018-06-19 17:51

I know 😂, I was just stinging him 😂, im a big fan of the French beast, I wished he would go to Barcelona, but he declined 😔

2018-06-19 18:18

hey guys, I used to think so untill I sat in front of him and watched his games in CAC this time. Though Sixer is not a talent like others in CSGO, he did show his crazy impression in all the matches in CAC. He try his best to win this game and stuck teammates together although he is just a stand-in. Now I must show my respect for all players like Sixer! Good luck!

2018-06-18 16:12

Thanks man! I don’t consider SIXER as an underrated player, but he loves the game and still tries to be the best. Still, he gets so fucking backlash it’s insane. He gives the best of himself but criticism has maybe affected him, a lot.

Should've been Byali

very surprise much expected

byali > s1mple

Not today, not today...

Electronic 1st EVP i think, byali 2nd

byali was way better that electronic

2018-06-18 15:10

Poor Byalko

ez top 1 2k18

expected. It does make me feel good that 2 of his worst performances were against VP which is unexpected. Shame byali couldnt have claimed the mvp he is my mvp :D. GG to Navi and Virtus.pro

2018-06-18 15:02

S1mple had like 0 impact on NaVi win... Totally undeserved... Byali is my MVP

2018-06-18 17:17

+1 3dward or byali

2018-06-18 19:09

TOP 1

pff so ez

bullshit

Undeserved. Should've been Byali

So ez

tier 2 tournament

actually I expected electronic to grab this mvp

he disappeared in the final

rip byali

Shame VP didnt win but Navi are the 2nd best team in the world right now so I wanted VP to win but didn't see it happening...if they did byali would have definitely picked up that MVP

14 replies

You can't say Navi the second best team in the world when they are carried by 1 man every event.. lol

2018-06-18 15:05

But they have electronic who is good also plus they are statistically the 2nd best.

thats why navi had 3 players in top-15 in 2018 at big events

2018-06-18 15:11

they have Electronic and Flamie who carried them also. and Zeus + Edward stepped up too. So you are wrong.

Na'Vi play as a team now , they take tournaments and 2nd places , so I think your comment is shit !And Guardian also like it , Ladislav envy is bad )))0)

Do they? The rankings haven't updated for me yet

6 replies

i meant the fact they just won. They are 2nd now. Rankings takes long to update..

Yeah so did navi. Do you reckon they will get more points because it was a bigger event?

but still all know that navi > faze, navi doesnt want to go to brazil while you can farm more money way closer to home

2018-06-18 15:12

Toxic nibbas, FaZe top 2 \closed

2018-06-18 15:46

bntet deserved this.

Err he played shit though..

totally undeserved.

Scream actually deserved this

Expected... s1mple didn't even try this tournament and still got a 1.23 rating, lmao.

#CSGOD!!!!! MVP of 2018!!!!

We are used to s1mple being beast. Look at Edward, he played well also

2018-06-18 15:06

+1 should've been Beardward

2018-06-18 15:09

What???

s1mple had his worst tournament for sure, could be easy MVP for Edward but hltv decided to give mvp by a default

MVP to Edward because of 1 match? you are genius.. or rather S1mple's another hater.

2018-06-18 15:15

Semis + final + solid group stage. Hes been the most consistent player on navi.

Should have gone for byali or scream smh

So in your opinion 1.23 > 1.32 K dude "especially considering against who he played." Shit argument, really

2018-06-18 15:25

no it's not "shit" argument. by your logic Xantares (who play against tier2-3 mostly) is the best player in the World right?

Envy and "dead" NiP is still much better than byali's TyLoo game.

2018-06-18 15:30

Tyloo beat NiP so nip is worse. Keep trying, I like that taste of your salty tears

2018-06-18 15:35

NiP is worse than TyLoo? only because of 1 match? yeah, you are kinda retarded I see...

2018-06-18 15:36

Guess no more "arguments" from you.

he's retarded

2018-06-18 16:20

He's right and as a result you should turn around, put your tail between legs and fucking run you mad delusional VP fan.

2018-06-18 16:26

This is not 2014 and sweds aren't allowed to talk since your scene doesn't exist anymore

Please say that when you're not hiding behind four walls and a ceiling, maybe then you're gonna realise how your own blood tastes like :):):):):) #168 - it's still there xD.

2018-06-18 16:44

And it's all because tyloo > nip "maybe then you're gonna realise how your own blood tastes like" Your own experience of cutting yourself you sad kid?

2018-06-18 16:53

gyazo.com/0d4d157337a1405464bfac2d930909.. also he was way more impactful while s1mple got his great maps in group stage only

2018-06-18 15:47

That's so red. Someone please fill me in about what happened to him!

Not deserved But expected

Not deserved But expected [2]

TOP 1 2018

NiKo got a much better rating at Belo Horizonté, and it was against decent teams, and they say he's still the second best?? [this is a joke, know s1mple is better generally]

2018-06-18 15:21

Meanwhile byali ended with 1.32 rating while carrying vp hard BUT HEY, guess only simple can get a mvp if his team lose.

#CSGOD is #CSGOD. stop crying...

And again, you're the one who replied to 9 people just on this thread because you're a s1mple fangay. Just stfu, really.

no, because it's funny to see such madface reaction like yours.

2018-06-18 18:29

not that sad as you think.

2018-06-18 18:58

should have been byali I guess, but whatever it wasn't any kind of important event

it was still 150k$ event... pretty huge.

BOT Simpel

demn didn't expect dat boi

Now s1mple is being dick-rided lmao, I'd pick someone else from Na`Vi as an MVP.

2018-06-18 15:26

Who?

He had highest rating on Navi also by Ali won’t win unless he had an insane performance like S1mple at sl4 and dh Marseille

Honestly, I think Edward deserved it. Or Byali.

2018-06-18 15:34

it's kinda useless for Edward. while S1mple really needs it. +Edward was good in a few matches, while S1mple was carrying.

2018-06-18 15:52

why

Ftw totally undeserved. Give it back to byalko!!!!

nIKOLINO nik0k0 > all

what k0k0k0? what a chicken?

Sasha‏ @s1mpleO: "Thanks my team for this medal once again , not rly mvp performance but I will practice much harder for upcoming events"... Top1-3 player 2018 IMHO...

2018-06-18 15:48

top1 without any doubt. too good.

2018-06-18 15:51

Ah, brazilians trying to remember old times when cold could get frags baited by taco. No moar taco, no moar frags and mvps. I think it's time for cold to retire, so that people remember him as good baited frags, rather than playing in tier3 team

2018-06-18 16:22

absolutely deserved for the best player of all time.

2018-06-18 16:13

Overrated

2018-06-18 16:31

nah, must be byali

2018-06-18 16:47

Byali had more impact than s1mple throughout this series.

2018-06-18 16:51

If simple was in byalis shoes he would get an mvp

2018-06-18 17:44

Anyone know why ScreaM didn't win MVP of this tournament? His team didn't win I know but he has the best stats in this event by far, no one was close to him why he didn't win the MVP?

2018-06-18 17:52

Because he's name is not s1mple and he didn't play in finals

2018-06-18 17:55

Doesn't matter, HLTV has already shown they are willing to give MVP to players who didn't win the event and ScreaM was head and shoulders above every single player at this event so it just makes literally no sense to me atm.

2018-06-18 17:57

They only give it to players in the final

2018-06-18 18:20

I guess hltv came back to old rules... loser can't be mvp right now. Why? Compare byali to s1mple, 0.09 rating difference and s1mple is still mvp.

2018-06-18 17:58

Expected but undeserved in my opinion. I'm a fan of s1mple since he was a Liquid player and I acknowledge that he's an insane player and by far the best in 2018, however in this tournament I don't think he deserved to be MVP, yet expected for the simple fact that this award is given in part by Betway and it doesn't take a genius to realize that all of the Betway staff that expose content to us, being it in form of video or text, has had a little bias towards s1mple for quite a long time now. I don't wanna call him overrated but in the eyes of some people he's obviously seen as a superior player even in circumstances where he's pretty even with other players. Byali should've won in my opinion. Pretty sure if it was the other way around and s1mple had put up the stats Byali did through this event and fell short in the final, he would've won it.
