device claims EPL Season 8 Finals MVP award

9/12/2018 - 21:24

Nicolai "device" Reedtz is the winner of the Most Valuable Player (MVP) award of the ESL Pro League Season 8 Finals by HLTV.org and betway.

The 23-year-old claimed the honour after averaging a team-leading 1.26 rating in Astralis' title-winning campaign in Odense, the fourth-highest overall.

Keith "NAF" Markovic, who boasted a 1.31 tournament rating, was leading the race for the MVP award after the first two maps of the final, but slided out of contention towards the end of the series as device picked up the pace on Inferno and Dust2.

device wins his seventh MVP medal of 2018

The Danish AWPer was Astralis' top player in the group matches against ViCi and HellRaisers, reaching peak performance levels once again in the semi-finals as he powered his team to a 2-0 victory over mousesports with a 1.75 rating.

device, who was in the top five in eight stats leaderboards, leading the charts for total opening kills (49), has now claimed his 12th MVP medal, the seventh of 2018. His previous accolades this year came at the ECS Season 5 Finals, ELEAGUE Premier, the FACEIT Major, BLAST Pro Series Istanbul, IEM Chicago, and the ECS Season 6 Finals.

G2	1.20	Bet	4.38	TYLOO
Evil Geniuses	1.33	Bet	3.20	MIBR
ENCE	1.25	Bet	3.76	ViCi

Wtf why? He had the worst rating in the finals, this is not deserved imo.

2018-12-09 21:24

its a tournament mvp not a final mvp

2018-12-09 21:25

2018-12-09 21:47

Ecolai Reedtz #1 player 2018 and perhaps top 5 in csgo history. Well deserved Ecolai!

2018-12-09 23:15

Honestly tho not trying to argue, I'd say he'd be top 10 since there are a lot of other strong players who deserve top 5 like NiKo and S1mple (ofc) and dupreeh

2018-12-10 00:18

S1mple? Niko? Cs top 10: 1.olof 2.GTR 3.kennys 4.coldzera 5.device 6.flusha 7.neo 8.guardian 9.dupreeh 10.shox

2018-12-10 02:51

CS or CSGO?

2018-12-10 06:30

Csgo, sorry

2018-12-10 11:10

Neo doesn't belong on that list then :( if you gonna pick one from VP, it's snax

2018-12-10 14:03

Device>cold now thats for sure (no hate towards brazil)

2018-12-10 06:42

How?, Cold has the highest major rating of all time and he's played more majors than s1mple and niko if your going to put niko and s1mple above device you have to put cold there aswell

2018-12-10 08:20

Device is above simple, cold and niko imo (because of achievements+individual game)

2018-12-10 09:27

It's hard to judge with niko and s1mple since faze is an inconsistent shitshow at the moment and navi is just s1mple baiting everyone and elec baiting everyone except s1mple because that's the only way they know how to win, device is in the best system of all time so it's hard to judge who is a better player but for this year 100% he gets 1# and if he doesn't it's rigged

2018-12-10 09:33

Completely agree with u

2018-12-10 09:41

I've put cold over device because of the back to back #1 in the rankings, but it's my opinion anyways, you can do your list as well :)

2018-12-10 11:09

Fair

2018-12-10 15:36

F0rest all years >neo or shox

2018-12-10 05:29

ye but wat bout naf

2018-12-09 21:49

NAF lost and was also pretty medicore in the finals

2018-12-09 22:11

You have to have an exceptional performance to get mvp without winning. Naf had 1.31 and device had 1.26. Hardly any difference

2018-12-09 22:12

Device 2 major, 1 gran slam - S1mple 0 Device 2 major, 1 gran slam - S1mple 0 Device 2 major, 1 gran slam - S1mple 0 Device 2 major, 1 gran slam - S1mple 0 Device 2 major, 1 gran slam - S1mple 0 Device 2 major, 1 gran slam - S1mple 0 Device 2 major, 1 gran slam - S1mple 0 Device 2 major, 1 gran slam - S1mple 0 Device 2 major, 1 gran slam - S1mple 0 Device 2 major, 1 gran slam - S1mple 0 Device 2 major, 1 gran slam - S1mple 0 Device 2 major, 1 gran slam - S1mple 0 Device 2 major, 1 gran slam - S1mple 0 Device 2 major, 1 gran slam - S1mple 0 Device 2 major, 1 gran slam - S1mple 0 Device 2 major, 1 gran slam - S1mple 0 Device 2 major, 1 gran slam - S1mple 0

lol

2018-12-10 03:23

I won't desagree. But I really think Xyp9x deserved it

2018-12-09 22:11

Then s1mple deserved all the mvps of past events. He has best rating stats in all category

2018-12-09 21:28

what was his rating for finals?

2018-12-09 21:31

exactly therefore dev1ce doesn't deserve it

2018-12-09 21:33

You completely missed the point

2018-12-09 21:38

It is because device's Astralis is actually winning events and s1mple's Na'Vi isn't winning that much compared to Astralis at least!

2018-12-09 21:40

They don't win anything at all really.

2018-12-10 00:52

lol you guys are too easy to bait

2018-12-10 01:16

Yeah, and played only half of the maps of the winning teams!? You have to reach the semi-finals at least to have a chance for the MVP-title.

2018-12-09 21:33

I just replied applying his logic

2018-12-09 21:36

2018-12-09 22:44

Yep,but he was not good at most finals and playoff,thats why navi not win some of them,but somethimes he was beast...device was more stable. But i think in that tournament glave or xyp9x deserve to be MVP

2018-12-10 02:15

He had a very very good semi final too, being something like 26-10 and 27-11 on dominant maps.

2018-12-09 21:26

Dude, He was the Best thoughtout the whole tournament. He deserves it.

2018-12-09 21:28

2018-12-09 21:47

cant get to the final with a .80 group stage rating

2018-12-09 21:47

2018-12-10 01:49

if its a tournament mvp should be given to NAF

2018-12-09 21:26

but he didnt contribute in the finals + lost

2018-12-09 21:27

SO device played well in tournament, but bad on 2 maps and good on 1 in final, naf played better in group stage, better in map 1 and 2 and decent in map 3. Explain your logic apart from “ASTRALIS WON FINAL” bullshit which doesn’t mean anything if the player didn’t contribute much to winning the final. Device played bad in the final, so winning the final can’t be an excuse, naf played decent in the final, better hen device, but even before the final naf had a higher rating

2018-12-09 21:34

No. NAF had a ~0.03 better rating than device this final and he lost. Remember why HLTV made an exception with s1mple? Because he fucking dominated.

2018-12-09 21:38

+1 Right. At one of the events s1mple did have an average of 1.52 rating!!!

2018-12-09 21:42

+1, This guy gets it. Maybe all those ignorant humanbeings should try following petar on twitter. His logic is indesputable.

2018-12-09 22:21

Gosh people are so fucking retarded here (not you). It's inconceivable to them that the highest rating doesn't get mvp. This used to not even be an argument until s1mple went godmode while his team still lost.

2018-12-09 22:24

agree :/

2018-12-09 21:40

if MVP is just a result of stats jks would get it because he has a better raiting then NAF hltv.org/stats?event=3376

2018-12-09 21:30

Eventho I agree the prize is awarded by the whole thing not just the finals, the MVP always comes from the winning team, that being said, if they had not win, the whole performance would not matter for this MVPship. So I agree with the ones that feel it as an underserved prize, my personal pick from Astralis would be gla1ve as he has merit beyond his stats, as the IGL, or Xyp.

2018-12-09 22:42

Device will be #1 hltv this year hahaha

2018-12-09 21:26

Actually, s1mle

2018-12-09 21:44

Ahaha you funny ruski boy.

2018-12-10 05:05

Agreed and deserved!

2018-12-09 22:13

Ez #1

kkkkkkkkkk

2018-12-09 21:26

Undeserved af

2018-12-09 21:27

Exactly, gj and well deserved!

2018-12-09 22:13

STFU idiot. Look at ENTIRE tournament, not just final. He deserved it.

2018-12-09 21:28

naf had a better overall tournament and a better finals performance than him.

2018-12-09 21:29

NAF lost the tournament

2018-12-09 21:30

so did simple those couple of times. naf during the tournament> device device was non existent in the finals apart from d2. naf was present. it was either naf or any other fucking player from astralis.

hltv.org/stats/matches/62759/astralis-vs.. fucking retarded

2018-12-09 21:38

Stop crying he outclassed his teammates once again, just because xyp9x did some good clutches or gla1ve had a good mirage in the finals doesnt mean device didnt deserve it

2018-12-09 21:40

u r dumb omg who crying my favorite team is win still devve is overrated.

2018-12-09 21:41

If you could show me hard evidence of you putting more work into deciding MVP than Petar and Striker did, I'll change my mind regarding HLTV (given it is actually professional and thorough)

2018-12-09 22:26

yes it means naf deserved it more.

2018-12-09 21:42

Since HLTV is Danish, they do all they can to make devve top1 2018 This website is irrelevant af in shit like this

2018-12-09 22:21

I'll give you the same question in #265. And HLTV is far from irrelevant. Only a fool would come to that conclusion.

2018-12-09 22:27

Having such thing as MVP is stupid itself, since most of the highlights are performed while other players keep an eye on other spots, the weapon could be dropped, and I also could add damage and flash assists which is in one word called teamplay. There are strong players, yes, but this is not the only ingredient of success in this game

2018-12-09 23:44

Though MVPs still exists and is based on individual performances. And my point still stands, not one of these HLTV users is at any point more qualified than Petar or Striker to decide the MVP of a given tournament.

2018-12-10 00:06

Which is pretty much ridiculous IMO anyway

2018-12-10 18:42

NAF having a better rating than dev1ce is irrelevant unless he had something crazy like 1.45+ across the tournament. There's a reason why only s1mple and twistzz have won mvp while losing in the finals.

2018-12-09 22:28

dumbass fangay devve

2018-12-09 21:34

We're talking about the mvp, not the tournament, dumbass

2018-12-09 23:56

But his team didn't win. If you are going to get the mvp, when not winning the tournament then you will have to do 1.5 rating or something and reach finals like simple. Therefor the MVP for the best rated Astralis player in this tournament is fully deserved! Stop crying

2018-12-09 21:32

It's a most venerable player, not most venerable team

2018-12-09 23:58

Ehh? Whatever. The only thing people has to understand is that the MVP usually goes to the winning team and their best performing player. Unless you do something extraordinary like simple has done previously.. Did NAF have a good tournament? yes. Did NAF win the tournament? no. Did NAF do something extraordinary? no. Therefore its fully deserved and undebateable that the MVP went to Device.

2018-12-10 00:41

No, the only thing he did was win the tournament with his team, and tournament =/= mvp

2018-12-10 01:22

Yes, best performing player from the tournament winning team =/= mvp

2018-12-10 01:25

NAF GOT ROBBED

2018-12-09 21:28

Robbed of what? Its not like someone made him play awefull on the two last maps. He did it himself.

2018-12-09 22:14

he didnt play awful. he usually got a kill in every duel he took. played like an anchor. didnt go for plays. didnt go for eco frags. he was still holding his own during gun rounds. he was better than device during the whole tournament. he wasnt the greatest at the finals but he was still better than device and more consistent throughout all 4 maps unlike device. he was also the only player with device that had mvp contention.

2018-12-09 22:16

What does "awefull" mean?

2018-12-09 22:27

Third grade spelling police incomming I see xD...your pretty much like my wife lol

2018-12-09 22:30

Dupreeh got robbed in major Magisk and glaive got robbed in chicago and ecs Xypex/Naf got robbed today specially xypex who won so many clutches

2018-12-09 21:31

In the final yes, but tournament mvp no. Can you please see across tournament and not just at 1 match. Deep sigh!

2018-12-09 22:16

Entrying with rifles is harder than with an awp. Dupreeh may not have been robbed this time, but he has been in the past

2018-12-09 21:32

???? You get opening kills with the awp but nobody plays entry on executes with one lmao

2018-12-10 01:46

You misunderstood what i said completely.

2018-12-10 22:27

entrying is done almost exclusively with rifles so I'm not really sure what you mean

2018-12-10 23:19

You are still missing the point completely. what i am saying is that it generally is harder to frag with rifles than it is with an awp. Plus AWP kills tend to be setup by other players from the team helping the awper. The fact that the awp is 4750$ and a one shot one kill rifle, you are expected to frag more. If you look at awp'ers in the top20 they are heavily represented. in fact, too much. Just look at MSL going from the lowest fragging player in the top CS scene taking an awp for ONE tournament and gets MVP. Or you could look at what dupreeh did when he got the awp when device was sick. He made crazy highlights, particularly the two back to back rounds on mirage against Sk. These examples say a lot about the awp in regard to its effectiveness. My point? Rifle fragging is generally harder and thus there should be somekind of handicap on the awp in terms of ranking. :=)

2018-12-11 19:57

Alright I agree with your point as you explained it here I was just thrown off by "entrying"

2018-12-12 02:34

Nice :=)

2018-12-12 09:40

I totally agree, this guy butters the organizers so much I guess, that's why he gets these mvp. He is a noobest awper, little okay with pistols and assaulting. But we saw many took ace, clutches. I think xp9x and Dupreeh needs to argue on this. Totally unfair.

2018-12-09 21:36

Wtf

2018-12-10 00:58

This is such bullshit

2018-12-09 21:56

Exactly, device mvp fully deserved!

+1. The worst website with rating system in all e-sport.

2018-12-09 21:27

+1 expected from rigged danish site trying to justify device #1 2018

2018-12-09 21:28

I knew that when MVP Major was given to him. Then I realized that from it, like a doll, will be specially made top 1. As he is from Denmark......

2018-12-09 21:32

The biasness is so blatant that i feel sick to my stomach

2018-12-09 21:32

Yeah everyone but Danes agree s1mple is #1 even though his team is throwing half the time.

2018-12-09 21:36

Why is it undeserved?

2018-12-09 21:44

Because, his teammates had much better stats than him

2018-12-09 21:49

Untrue

2018-12-09 22:12

Ehm, not according to HLTV stats, what stats are you talking about? You cant just base it on the final.

2018-12-09 22:19

If you cannot base it on the final, then check the stats hltv.org/stats?event=3376 Where is device? Number 4 only. MVP is a team result or personal result?

2018-12-10 12:47

You must be trolling or a special kind of stupid, because NAF was not good enough to win the MVP, without winning the final and device was by far the best player from Astralis. If you think they just pick the best rated player from all teams, then this discussion is over.

2018-12-10 12:50

Its a tournament MVP, nice try buddy.

2018-12-09 23:36

If it's tournament MVP, then check the stats hltv.org/stats?event=3376 Where is device? Number 4 only. MVP is a team result or personal result?

2018-12-09 22:18

i mean device played only 1 good map so naf still deserves it more lol

2018-12-10 01:56

The MVP typically goes to the winning team. I undeestand that from time to time one player, lets call him S1mple or Twistzz, is so much better but fail to carry bad team that hltv deviates from winning team. The NAF case was not such though, good but not great!

You are noob. If his teammates had not performed in the finals, forget mvp, no 1st place. XD what a noob. Whole tournament stats? Check finals are the toughest matches always. Noob organizers like you.

2018-12-09 21:26

then who should get the mvp if not device? he outclassed his teammates once again, just because xyp9x did some good clutches or gla1ve had a good mirage in the finals (XD) doesnt mean device didnt deserve it

2018-12-09 21:28

They need a reason to put device on #1. That‘s why they don‘t want to give a mvp medal to any other astralis player.

2018-12-10 01:54

2018-12-09 21:26

Deserved

2018-12-09 21:26

2018-12-09 22:21

expected

2018-12-09 21:26

If he doesn’t get the #1 this year, it’ll be a robbery.

2018-12-09 21:26

2018-12-09 22:21

ooooooffffff course

2018-12-09 21:26

Yep, well deserved!

2018-12-09 21:27

Yes, well deserved mvp for dev!

2018-12-09 22:22

Sure thing buddy, you believe in whatever you want.

2018-12-09 22:24

Thanks, you are a real rare pal!

2018-12-09 22:27

this is so bullshit lmao

2018-12-09 21:27

Why?

2018-12-09 22:22

Why??

2018-12-09 21:27

Best player of whole tournament. Whats not to understand?

2018-12-09 22:23

NAF

2018-12-10 14:51

A solution could be two MVPs titles, one for the finals, one for the tournament, so no one would cry (or maybe not)

2018-12-09 21:27

Yep, it seems people only judge from the final...poor kids!

2018-12-09 22:24

Definitely HLTV.org is making star, it is not fair for rest of players especially Simple.

2018-12-09 21:27

Why not NAF? Okey, dev1ce is very good, and astralis won whole tournament, but it's mvp. Look at stats, NAF was better... idiots

2018-12-09 21:27

This is the final joke to close the year, I can't believe it

2018-12-09 21:27

wait for blast pro lisbon :D

2018-12-09 23:34

2018-12-10 06:33

it's an injustice, twistzz was much better

2018-12-09 21:28

Bad finals for devve but he was so good in the whole tournament! Well done! Glaive and Xyp9x were so good in the finals. Well deserved champions!!! GG!

2018-12-09 21:28

Well bad 50 pct of the final, he was epic on Inferno and Dust 2

2018-12-09 21:37

The other players were better in the finals in total thats what i mean. But still he was good at the tournament from the begining!

2018-12-10 05:21

2018-12-09 22:25

2018-12-10 18:19

gla1ve? xyp9x? magisk? LOL hltv give top 1 to device already

2018-12-09 21:28

You only watch the final? Its a tournament mvp fcs.

2018-12-09 22:25

Elige,Gla1ve,Twistzz or NAF Robbed

2018-12-09 21:29

Ikr, elige got 90 fucking frags in the final! I gotta say, I'm all for astralis, but this mvp was utter bullshittery.

2018-12-09 21:36

:( oh well

2018-12-09 21:36

What a joke. This MVP is just a joke if you give him someone who doesn't deserve it. Someday nobody gives a fuck about the MVP if it has zero value.

2018-12-09 21:29

Hltv come on... astralis is the best team for sure, but he was not the mvp. He is not even the best player in his team. Why are you trying so hard to grant him mvp every tournament... this is so crazy. Rigged #1 of 2018 or what? He was not the best throughout the tournament nor in the finals...

2018-12-09 21:29

he is the best player in his team, at least statwise, and if NAF played a bit better in the final he would've gotten the MVP (only 0.05 difference, -3 in the gf kinda fucked him up)

2018-12-09 21:44

I agree, put naf or Dupreeh or twist to awp against him. He will get reqt. Put him to some new clan he will suck. Niko, simple they play so hard with new clan mates and roles. Ask if device can do that?

2018-12-09 21:47

The award of the MVP is about the whole tournament and not only about finals. When it's written like "finals" they mean the final stage of the tournament in LAN, not the bo5 ONLY! Just keep this on mind...

2018-12-10 02:38

OK so using your logic. NAF had a better tournament before the finals, was the 2nd best player on his team during the finals, and had better stats than device in the finals even though he was on the receiving end of a 1-3 loss. Edit: finished the tournament as the highest rated player of all the players that were in the finals as well. Device had a worse tournament than NAF before the finals, was the worst player on his team during the finals (carried to a win), and is known as an eco stat padder worldwide. If anything, the MVP should go to glaive on astralis. Because outside the fact he was the 2nd best player in the finals via rating, he had the most frags on his team in the finals, and is the largest reason for his teams success due to the fact he's the igl. So not only did he call for the victory while fragging more than his peers, his revolutionary strats and nade stacks is what their team as a whole is known for. Edit: finished the tournament 2nd highest rated player on his team with more worth during the finals. The bias has been ridiculous this year. It devalues the whole point of the system.

2018-12-10 11:46

I also agree with what you said but Astralis were the winning team and I think that's why device won the mvp award instead if NAF. It was fair enough because although he had 2 low performance maps he was good in the other 2 and he had a very good tournament generally! I watched every game of Astralis in the tournament and least that's my opinion.

2018-12-12 02:11

DEVICE GOD TOP 1

2018-12-09 21:29

simple take blast mvp and ez top 1

2018-12-09 21:29

7 mvp > 5 mvp Ez HLTV rig for dev1ce No chance for s2mple LUL

2018-12-09 21:59

So fucking overrated

2018-12-09 21:29

The entire french scene is overrated. Can you explain how a country with 66 mil inhabitants can't produce a single good team?

2018-12-09 23:39

Device is overrated thats all i'm saying

2018-12-10 06:33

Running gag!

2018-12-09 21:29

AHAHAHAHA

2018-12-09 21:29

not deserved only boasting insane numbers against shit teams lile vici

2018-12-09 21:29

Boosting stats against shit teams and on ecos = MVP of the tournament. While xyp, glaive, magisk and dupreeh makes the IMPORTANT frags, clutches etc they’re invisible for hltv.org.

2018-12-09 21:30

yeah and device doesnt get any important frags right?

2018-12-09 23:56

yes, you're right

2018-12-10 00:09

LETS GOOOOOOOOOOO ANOTHER MVP FOR ECO/EXIT FRAGGER xddddddddddddd

2018-12-09 21:30

another deserved mvp 2 bad maps shouldnt rule you out of the mvp race big props to naf though, easily a top5 player in 2018

2018-12-09 21:30

2018-12-09 23:39

XD.

2018-12-09 21:30

a million mvps for device, 0 for glaive might even be a bigger travesty than device #1 for 2018 over simple

2018-12-09 21:30

congrats to device.. another great tournament by him.

2018-12-09 21:31

wtf imo he was the worst player on astralis.

2018-12-09 21:31

LUL

2018-12-09 21:31

HLTV you want to make him #1 so bad lmao. So fucking undeserved.

2018-12-09 21:32

deserved

2018-12-09 21:32

HLTV ♥️ device

2018-12-09 21:32

Device wins yet another mvp, but xyp remains as the reason astralis is this dominant. Fucking beast in the clutch

2018-12-09 21:32

him and gla1ve. clutch- and smoke gods (easier with the second one though when they can see through them while their opponents cant)

2018-12-10 00:11

sorry but he wasnt best astralis player this event even though the rating says different

2018-12-09 21:33

like always

2018-12-10 00:11

worst player getting mvp, plus they should all be banned anyway and not be playing this shitty tournaments and earning money

2018-12-09 21:33

facts and stats > feels . get fucked

2018-12-09 23:40

Another undeserved mvp

2018-12-09 21:33

Yes HLTV, feed him, sure :).

2018-12-09 21:34

MVP with 2 maps during final with < 1 rating LUL I aren't think that.

2018-12-09 21:35

it's device, ofcourse it's possible. This is HLTV. When other players has a bad final the MVP goes to someone else, when device has a bad final they just twist some statistics to sell a reason why he should get it. Easy to do now when there's so much statistics.

2018-12-10 00:14

Makes sense tbf.

2018-12-09 21:36

not deserved

2018-12-09 21:36

Anyway, s1mple deserves top 1 more

2018-12-09 21:36

Haha

2018-12-09 21:36

Eliges mvp but expected by danish site for danish player.

2018-12-09 21:37

EliGe is MVP of the final but not of the tournament

2018-12-09 21:47

check tournament stats dogs and u will understand why devve mvp . wp device

2018-12-09 21:38

why should everyone be looking at eco frags and non-impact frags? Pretty boring actually

2018-12-10 00:14

what a joke?

2018-12-09 21:38

Best player to touch cs, s1mple can't get even close

2018-12-09 21:39

0/8

2018-12-09 21:58

the team is good, chemistry on top, smoke advantage makes a huge difference. But on an individually basis non of the Astralis players are in top10.

2018-12-10 00:16

Outaiming, outclutchg everyone, utility usage years ahead of all, device molesting other awpers. They are 2 tiers ahead, both individually and in terms of teamplay

2018-12-10 00:18

Saw that on the 1v1 game against NiP ... ^^ They're playing as a team, not as individuals as the other teams does, hence: NO.

2018-12-10 00:19

Device?! This is outrageous, I hope Tottenham sends a complaint this was obviously Harry Kane's tournament

2018-12-09 21:39

less deserved than astralis victory

2018-12-09 21:41

s1mple anyway #1

2018-12-09 21:41

7mvp>5mvp and device has mvp for major feel sorry for s1mple but device will be top 1

2018-12-09 21:43

if quantity MVP decide it the #1 has no value in it.

2018-12-09 21:46

It has always been like that no matter how good player is MVPs and championships > skill

2018-12-09 21:49

If device gets the last mvp in Lisbon then I think he will get it

2018-12-09 21:43

cuz having good stats against vici or hellraiser is as important as having good stats or impact in the finals.

2018-12-09 21:42

And Mousesports mate.. and on inferno and dust2 in final

2018-12-09 21:44

mouseports was definitely well played by device and he played a major role in them winning these series but i don't think that's enough to compensate for his horrific performance in the finals in the first 3 maps.

2018-12-09 21:47

2018-12-09 21:43

2018-12-10 19:11

at leats they do important job like Xyp9x. Dupreeh in 2v5 situation can turn the round to the 2v0 for Astralis. I never saw device doing stuff like this one. So 0\8

2018-12-10 19:14

0/8 if you never saw impact kills from device you never saw an astralis game

2018-12-10 19:37

0\8 his impact kills not so "famous" thing. Ofc he have impact kills, but Dupreeh or Xyp9x do much more of it.

2018-12-09 21:55

WORST PLAYER OF ALL ASTRALIS considering grand final... :)

2018-12-09 21:56

but the thing is that you have to consider all the matches in the tournament, not just the grand final. and doing so, device was the best.

2018-12-10 12:29

xddd hahahahaha xdddd LUL sure

2018-12-09 21:57

If I were xyp9x I would have left after this...

Even tho I’m not a fan of Astralis, I have to give respect where it’s due. Absolute monsters gratz device !

2018-12-09 22:20

Underserved this time... In my opinion gla1ve was the real MVP of this tournament. Whit this one its pretty much confirmed that device will get the hltv award follow by s1mple.... Even though they are not the team I look for up to...hopefully the rest of the guys on Astralis get the recognition that they deserve on the upcoming hltv awards...

2018-12-09 22:22

People are so dimwitted its incredible. Yes device was not the best in the final, but he was during the whole tournament and after he got his jitters out of him, he showed up in the last two maps and helped tremendously. Astralis is the best team and everybody can carry, but device is just the most consistent, which is why he gets the mvp. Not hard to grasp.

2018-12-09 22:22

Xyp9x always saving and never recognized. Without it they would lose several games, mvp is Xyp9x

2018-12-09 22:25

HLTV really wanna give Device that number 1 spot :)

2018-12-09 22:45

he deserved the mvp though

2018-12-10 12:27

What I don't get is that sometimes the performance in the final seems to be most important factor to decide the MVP and sometimes not.

2018-12-09 22:54

Depends on your nickname (:

2018-12-09 23:12

Its pretty obvious. Though device was mediocre in the final, he was by far the best player throughout the tournament, from Astralis. Had another player from Astralis been close to device and had a very good final, it could easily have been him. Should someone from the losing team get it, he would have had to be insane throughout the whole tournament and nobody from Liquid was.

2018-12-09 23:35

Naf was

2018-12-10 09:02

No, he was marginally better throughout the tournament, same in the final. Its natural to pick the best player, from the winning team. S1mple won his MVPs losing, because he was MUCH better than the player from the winning team.

Device is at best an average player. His aim is lacklustre - dunno why hltv keeps hyping him - becoz pretty face?

2018-12-09 23:40

device is really good lol what are u talking about

2018-12-10 09:24

he's an autist compared to, say, dupreeh. He can't flick, his aim so tentitive - massively overhyped player..

2018-12-10 13:37

Salty s1mple fan

2018-12-10 14:56

Stats and facts doesn't care about your little feeling kids, remember that =)

2018-12-09 23:51

Shouldnt this be naf? 🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔

2018-12-09 23:58

they lost

2018-12-10 00:02

wtf

2018-12-10 00:04

BIASED AF LUL XDDDDD

2018-12-10 00:08

check the numbers. device was by far astralis best player up until the final. tournament mvp counts for all the maps, not just the final. hltv.org/stats/teams/players/6665/Astral..

2018-12-10 12:26

So hltv will obviously make him #1 this year after they gifted him a couple of undeserved mvps. We all know that s1mple is by far the better player, he is just Stück with 3 bots

2018-12-10 12:47

hltv also gave s1mple an mvp in a tournament he didn't even win. how does that fact work with your logic?

2018-12-10 12:48

Man are you retarded? He had like 36 frags plus in the finals

2018-12-10 12:49

no, i am not retarded. but thank you for asking. sure, he played very well that tournament, but it is still against tradition to give the tournament mvp to a player who didn't win the final. yet, hltv did it anyway and a lot of people were outraged about it. seems to go against your logic that hltv are biased towards device.

2018-12-10 12:51

>say your not retarded >Acts like a Retard again

2018-12-10 12:52

> is toxic on hltv and doesn't listen to reason > is just plain stupid

2018-12-10 12:53

So do you want to tell me that ecovice is a better player than s1mple?

2018-12-10 12:56

no, i think s1mple is better. but that's not at all what we're discussing... smh

2018-12-10 12:57

Why are we talking anymore? The whole mvp System is obviously garbage when a Player with 40% Ecofrags gets more mvps than the best player in the world. S1mple>ecovice /close

2018-12-10 13:01

dead meme. there are no numbers to support that device farms more ecofrags than anyone else in his team. quite the contrary actually. playing an awp, it's much harder to farm eco frags than playing m4/ak where you can spray an entire team down. most of the games i'm watching with astralis, it's actually magisk, glaive and dupreeh who farms the most eco frags.

2018-12-10 13:02

I am just telling you, bye raw skill device isn't even close to top2

2018-12-10 13:04

and i actually agree. if you put device in aim map vs. niko and s1mple he would lose. but wouldn't it be a bit silly if mvp awards was only about raw aim? shouldn't they be about being a good teamplayer too? device always takes smart angles, throws nades for support, trades well for his teammates. all these things don't show up in the stats and are not about raw aim, but all these things matter A LOT for a team's success. a skilled player is not only technically gifted, he's also a smart player. and i would argue that device is a smarter player than both niko and simple.

2018-12-10 13:07

An mvp should not be given to the best Team Player. That's why you are Team. You can only win if everybody is a good teamplayer. I think either zonic or the smoke grenade deserves the mvp more.

2018-12-10 13:11

Being a good player and being a good team player are not two distinct entities. Those things are connected. Counter-Strike is a team game.

2018-12-10 13:12

Throwing some nades doesn't require that much skill, I bet its even called by glaive when to throw them. And imo device isn't even the best teamplayer in Astralis

2018-12-10 13:15

Having the gamesense to know when to nade, trade, push, go passive etc. is not easy. Are you just guessing that glaive makes that call, or do you base it on anything?

2018-12-10 13:16

Knowing that Astralis is a very organized Team, I suppose that glaive is Making calls for most of their nades especially on the T side

2018-12-10 13:19

The mvp is a trophy for the best player of the tournament. Sure its given to the mvp of the winning Team usually, but nobody can say that s1mple wasn't the mvp of this tournament. He played by far better than anyone on mousesports.

2018-12-10 12:55

i'm not saying that mvp's should always be given to the winning team. i'm saying that the HLTV TRADITION is to give the mvp to the winning team. so they could easily have defended giving the mvp to device in account on it being tradition. but they didn't. they gave it to s1mple. doesn't smell like bias to me. if you don't understand the argument i'm making here, you're simply lost mate.

2018-12-10 12:56

I swear, if Astralis was in this finals they would have given the mvp straight away to him

2018-12-10 12:59

oh, my bad. I thought astralis was in the final against NaVi in that tournament. guess i'm too used to them being in the final.

2018-12-10 13:01

No it was mouz

2018-12-10 13:02

Not deserved. The award should go to gla1ve

2018-12-10 00:32

+1 gla1ve is best and Xyp9x 2nd best

2018-12-10 00:48

Magisk 3rd

2018-12-10 00:55

2018-12-10 01:39

I guess more Xyp9p ana Glave deserve to be MVP...

2018-12-10 02:16

it's just HLTV.dk.org things

2018-12-10 02:30

or it's logic hltv.org/stats/teams/players/6665/Astral..

2018-12-10 12:25

I get an headache reading all these dumbass comments that hltv are doing this to boost device. Sure he didn't have the greatest finals, now tell me, how unfair would be giving the mvp award to glaive or xyp for being better in the final, given the fact that all the way through device was by far their best player (we're talking 8 out of 12 maps here) and the main reason why they even managed to play this final?

2018-12-10 02:52

Their igl was their 2nd highest rated player in the tournament. Had the most frags in the finals, and once again hes their fucking igl whose probably the most important player on their team and hasn't won a single MVP award this year. Did I mention he's their igl, on a team that's know for teamwork, execution, and nade tactics?

2018-12-10 11:57

But we all know that glaive is the master behind Astralis, thing is that's not a valid point when you pick an mvp. Same as FalleN was the master behind SK's dominance and it was always cold getting mvps and leading the charts. Device played the best overall, glaive made them play the best, but for the mvp, most of glaives work as an igl is left "behind the scenes" because he contributes for a collective success whereas mvp picks individual success. I could not be 100% right in here but that's my understanding. of course he has his value tho

2018-12-10 19:24

Dupreeh is so bad

2018-12-10 02:58

so awful

2018-12-10 03:06

if device gets #1 player spot i will lose all faith in CSGO scene, there is not a more overrated player than ecovice

2018-12-10 05:08

2018-12-10 07:32

HLTVs ranking isn't only about skill it's more about achievements and dev1ce has won a lot this year

2018-12-10 09:21

Last year I was like if cold gets #1 I'll quit csgo because NiKo was so much better than him individually

2018-12-10 09:22

NiKo had much better aim, he still does, but that's it. Cold had a better rating and much more mvps and collective awards. NiKo wasn't better than Cold in 2017... thing is people usually look at who gets the hardest kills and hits the hardest shots as being the best.

2018-12-10 19:29

NiKo was always better than him and will continue to be, colds rating was only 0.01 higher but that's it, he got more MVPs(2 of these are from t2 tourneys) because his team won more trophies and NiKo had higher adr and impact than cold which are the things that matter the most

2018-12-10 21:21

fer had more adr and impact than both of them, won the same amount of trophies as Cold and obviously more than NiKo, finished 3rd. Rightfully so he was closer to NiKo at 2nd than NiKo was close to Cold at 1st. The fact that you refuse to understand that Cold was the best in the world in 2017 says a lot...

2018-12-10 21:29

How is 86.7 adr is more than 87? NiKo is the best player of 2017 for every intelligent human being, cold without consistent bait is top10 player at best lmao

2018-12-10 22:09

Your intelligence is out of this world, matter of fact, all of hltv is dumb and rigged, zzz.

2018-12-11 00:34

After device will get the #1 people will start screaming why not s1mple just like they did when NiKo got 2nd place last year, history repeats itself

2018-12-10 22:10

Do you realize that people that are not biased towards/against NiKo, Cold, FaZe, or SK are mostly aware that Cold earned that spot? Ask the most neutral users in this website and you'll get your answers.

2018-12-11 00:35

2018-12-10 09:33

then better GTFO right now because it's gonna happen m8

2018-12-10 10:11

S1mple won't be #1 player of 2018 because of his teammates... Sorry for my ruski brothers.

2018-12-10 05:14

This is numba one bullshit

2018-12-10 06:54

MVP = popularity contest

2018-12-10 08:10

or just look at the stats: hltv.org/stats/teams/players/6665/Astral..

2018-12-10 12:24

computer says 1.26 > 1.14 it must mean he is better

2018-12-10 12:27

he was the best player in astralis in 80% of this tournament.. don't kid yourself.

2018-12-10 12:28

NAF or Glaive...

2018-12-10 08:57

If Device gets the #1 spot of 2k18 i'm just boycotting HLTV until they make a good, unbiased ranking.

2018-12-10 09:35

then better GTFO right now because it's gonna happen m8

2018-12-10 10:12

Sounds like a f threat lol

2018-12-10 19:30

Xyp9x and gla1ve: Are we a joke to you?

2018-12-10 10:06

funny how ppl saying glaiv and xyp9x are cheaters and now they want them to get the mvp

2018-12-10 10:31

They just want a reason to act annoying

2018-12-10 12:50

HLTV is just trying to make dev1ce the world's best player at this point. Xyp9x got robbed.

2018-12-10 10:33

2018-12-10 10:34

Xyp9x MVP i think ...

2018-12-10 10:48

DESERVED! hltv.org/stats/teams/players/6665/Astral..

2018-12-10 12:24

MVP rating of this website is really bad. They take into account such parameters as "most awp kills", "most entry kills", everything with the word "most". And of course "most" will have the person who played more matches, so the one who is in the final. May be you should start take "average kills with awp per game", "average entry kills per game"?

2018-12-10 12:52

LMAO

2018-12-10 13:21

What does a MVP get besides the medal?

2018-12-10 13:58

HLTV danish org big fans of device :D who would expect that ?

2018-12-10 15:12

All the players in Astralis are Danish mate. Not just device. Hltv has no reason to prefer him over any other astralis player

2018-12-10 19:12

But they are doing it? I probably want to use it as excuses when they will put him #1 in their rating xD hes good but not best (jw best) they robbed xyp9x/gla1ve/dupreeh for few times just for example hltv.org/stats?event=4083 device has 1.19 rating gla1ve has 1.14 this is stats for whole tournament and difference between them is 0.05 which is nothing at all especially when gla1ve was the most important player in major and had much better rating (1.19 vs 1.04) + hes igl and thats a fucking awesome.. only fallen and him can be igl and top frag at same time but they just gave this mvp also to device rigged shit same for this final, he was fucking bad on first 2 maps, average on third and ok on last naf had much better ratings, xyp9x clutched 5 or 6 times, gla1ve had amazing game but they still gave mvp to him same for IEM chicago hltv.org/events/3954/iem-chicago-2018 dupreeh 1.15 ratings device 1.15 ratings dupreeh was better in final (1.31 vs 1.22) and they still gave mvp to device faceit major 2018, dupreeh was robbed again hltv.org/events/3564/faceit-major-2018 almost same rating overall, much better in finals device still claims mvp so basically half of mvps are not deserved

2018-12-10 19:57

Why would they make this elaborate scheme to put device at top1? You really think they would do this just because of national pride or do you have a conspiracy theory? All of the mvp’s device have gotten he had the best rating in the team (except the one shared with dupreeh). The mvps are given based on the entire tournament and not just the final, so...

2018-12-10 20:17

have no idea, im not claiming and saying its 100% like this just looks like that from my point of view, mb bcuz they are his fans and want to make him look better idk

2018-12-10 20:23

Undeserved, Xyp9x played godlike, gla1ve had ridiculous rounds and has proven a great IGL, how many times dupreeh saved astralis? I really can't understand

2018-12-10 18:18

Eco frags > Clutch rounds (xyp) > Stepping up, top fragging to lead the comeback after map1 shock loss (Glaive) > Consistency (Dupreeh) apparentally 2.0 rating system is fucking garbage still ecolai exititz can suck my dick

2018-12-10 18:24

Well deserved Device
