ESL Pro League Season 8 Finalsdevice claims EPL Season 8 Finals MVP award
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.

Wtf why? He had the worst rating in the finals, this is not deserved imo.
its a tournament mvp not a final mvp
groupstage stats > final stats?
Groupstage and semis stats > finals stats
0/8 noob
gyazo.com/a1e0dd59835a46e9e8d9a2f3b94d33..
one of the most deserved and obvious mvp titles ever
Ecolai Reedtz #1 player 2018 and perhaps top 5 in csgo history.
Well deserved Ecolai!
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
CS or CSGO?
Neo doesn't belong on that list then :( if you gonna pick one from VP, it's snax
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
F0rest all years >neo or shox

NAF lost and was also pretty medicore in the finals
You have to have an exceptional performance to get mvp without winning. Naf had 1.31 and device had 1.26. Hardly any difference

I won't desagree. But I really think Xyp9x deserved it
only 20 kills more and almost lost them the final?
20 more kills than who?
3 of his teammates
combined?
Then s1mple deserved all the mvps of past events. He has best rating stats in all category
You completely missed the point
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!
They don't win anything at all really.

cant get to the final with a .80 group stage rating
if its a tournament mvp should be given to NAF
but he didnt contribute in the finals + lost
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
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.
+1 Right. At one of the events s1mple did have an average of 1.52 rating!!!
nt prokda Astra fans new cancer
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
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.
Device will be #1 hltv this year hahaha
Ez #1
kkkkkkkkkk
STFU idiot.
Look at ENTIRE tournament, not just final.
He deserved it.
naf had a better overall tournament and a better finals performance than him.
NAF lost the tournament
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
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
u r dumb omg
who crying my favorite team is win
still devve is overrated.
yes it means naf deserved it more.
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
dumbass fangay devve
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
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.
Yes, best performing player from the tournament winning team =/= mvp
NAF GOT ROBBED
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.
What does "awefull" mean?
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
????
You get opening kills with the awp but nobody plays entry on executes with one lmao
entrying is done almost exclusively with rifles so I'm not really sure what you mean
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.
:=)
Alright I agree with your point as you explained it here
I was just thrown off by "entrying"
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.
This is such bullshit
Hltv needs a reason to put him on #1
this is fucking joke dude wtf hltv
He is noob, it's his teammates carries. Simple, Niko, coldzera, xp9x, Dupreeh, twist, naf, elige, guardian, Chris J. Top 10
goat
Untrue
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?
NAF robbed
# 1 HLTV Deserved
Astralis ez top 1 team.
Ez for devvedeluxe top 1 2018.
Haters will cry, BUT CHECK THE STATS FOR THE ENTIRE TOURNAMENT.
p1mple fans will rage hard.
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.
AHAHHhha
what a joke.
Hltv trash shits dev1ce not mvp NVIDIA.EXE robbed again
GOAT
+1
dumbass hltv admin
P2mple OMEGALUL
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.
kk
expected
If he doesn’t get the #1 this year, it’ll be a robbery.
ooooooffffff course
whyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy??????????
In other news, the sky is blue. *gasps*
Why??
NAF
wait for blast pro lisbon :D
Sad times man.
yeah bad year for csgo
Deserved. Cry is free p1mple fans axaxaxaxxaxa
Elige,Gla1ve,Twistzz or NAF Robbed
:( oh well
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...
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)
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?
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.
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.
DEVICE GOD TOP 1
simple take blast mvp
and ez top 1
AHAHAHAHA
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
a million mvps for device, 0 for glaive
might even be a bigger travesty than device #1 for 2018 over simple
congrats to device.. another great tournament by him.
wtf imo he was the worst player on astralis.
deserved
HLTV ♥️ device
sorry but he wasnt best astralis player this event even though the rating
says different
Another undeserved mvp
Yes HLTV, feed him, sure :).
MVP with 2 maps during final with < 1 rating LUL
I aren't think that.
not deserved
Haha
Eliges mvp but expected by danish site for danish player.
EliGe is MVP of the final but not of the tournament
Best player to touch cs, s1mple can't get even close
0/8
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
Stfu
less deserved than astralis victory
s1mple anyway #1
cuz having good stats against vici or hellraiser is as important as having good stats or impact in the finals.
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.
yeah, he was the worst of all his teammates in the Grand FInal
+1 it's a joke
lmao kid was 4/15 how tf did he earn mvp
rigged
kkkkkkkkkkkkkk
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?
HAHAHAHA
Meanwhile: I have farted 3 times.
lul
Undeserved tbh...
Eco and exit frags btw
so 0\8
0/8 Dead meme. Magisk, dupreeh and glaive farm way more exit and eco frags.
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
0/8 if you never saw impact kills from device you never saw an astralis game
0\8 his impact kills not so "famous" thing. Ofc he have impact kills, but Dupreeh or Xyp9x do much more of it.
Top 10 of 2018.
Simple
Niko
Xp9x
Dupreeh
Coldzera
Naf
Twist
Elige
Guardian
Rez
Best joke of 2018 so far
s1mple mvp
Top 1 after simple
WORST PLAYER OF ALL ASTRALIS considering grand final... :)
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.
xyp9x won maybe 10 clutches in grand final. He won 3 clutches in a row, he deserved this tho
nah it was well deserved tbh
its time to stop
KRIMZ? r u high dude?

DESERVED MVP
DESERVED TOP1 of 2018
#1 S1mple's hater :) relax boy, S1mple is truly the best player. Even at that unlucky event he was one of the best entries, compared to all other players.
did s1mple fuck your mummy? xd
every comment made by you is hate on s1mple, tell me what he has done?? really curious xddd
whatever kid
Even tho I’m not a fan of Astralis, I have to give respect where it’s due. Absolute monsters gratz device !
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...
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.
Xyp9x always saving and never recognized. Without it they would lose several games, mvp is Xyp9x
Should have been EliGE :(
NAF would deserve it much more than elige
Any of them would be more deserved than overratedevice
once again proves this shit is rigged af...roflmao.
he deserved the mvp though
Depends on your nickname (:
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.
godvice top 1 s1mple error_404
-1 numbers speak for themselves
hltv.org/stats/teams/players/6665/Astral..
Xyp3x or gla1ve should be the mvp
device is really good lol what are u talking about
Salty s1mple fan
BIASED AF LUL XDDDDD
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..
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
hltv also gave s1mple an mvp in a tournament he didn't even win. how does that fact work with your logic?
Man are you retarded? He had like 36 frags plus in the finals
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.
>say your not retarded
>Acts like a Retard again
> is toxic on hltv and doesn't listen to reason
> is just plain stupid
So do you want to tell me that ecovice is a better player than s1mple?
no, i think s1mple is better. but that's not at all what we're discussing... smh
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
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.
I am just telling you, bye raw skill device isn't even close to top2
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.
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.
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.
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
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?
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
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.
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.
I swear, if Astralis was in this finals they would have given the mvp straight away to him
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.
No it was mouz
Magisk 3rd
or it's logic
hltv.org/stats/teams/players/6665/Astral..
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?
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?
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
+1
HLTVs ranking isn't only about skill it's more about achievements and dev1ce has won a lot this year
Last year I was like if cold gets #1 I'll quit csgo because NiKo was so much better than him individually
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
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...
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
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
MVP = popularity contest
or just look at the stats: hltv.org/stats/teams/players/6665/Astral..
computer says 1.26 > 1.14
it must mean he is better
he was the best player in astralis in 80% of this tournament.. don't kid yourself.
funny how ppl saying glaiv and xyp9x are cheaters and now they want them to get the mvp
+1
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"?
All the players in Astralis are Danish mate. Not just device. Hltv has no reason to prefer him over any other astralis player
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
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...
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

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
Well deserved Device
