device clinches BLAST Pro Series São Paulo MVP award

24/3/2019 - 02:16

Nicolai "⁠device⁠" Reedtz is the winner of the BLAST Pro Series São Paulo Most Valuable Player award by HLTV.org and betway.

The Astralis superstar earned the medal after leading the Danish powerhouse to their second title in 2019 with a tournament-high 1.35 rating across eight maps played throughout the event.

device's consistency shone over the course of the Brazilian tournament, as he put in 1.00+ ratings on all maps and placed first in several leaderboards aside from average rating, including ADR (88.1), KPR (0.86), DPR (0.56), and AWP kills per round (0.45), among others.

device earns his 13th MVP award in São Paulo

Although the AWPer had been the leading candidate before the final, he confirmed his position in the title decider as one of the best performers of the series (1.30 rating), beating his teammate Emil "⁠Magisk⁠" Reif and some of his last opponents, Jonathan "⁠EliGE⁠" Jablonowski, Jake "⁠Stewie2K⁠" Yip, and Nick "⁠nitr0⁠" Cannella to the accolade.

This is the 23-year-old's first MVP medal of 2019 and his eighth in the span of the last 10 months, which increases his total count to 13 awards, the most out of any player in CS:GO.

S1mple win cuz he better on 1v1 maps and more aggressive with awp, proofed many times

2019-03-24 08:47

I agree with you to some point. But device is very patient, wouldnt be surprised if he just held one angle every round, and simple would walk into it looking for device xd

2019-03-24 13:46

it would be a good match to watch I believe..

2019-03-24 21:09

Tournament with ASTRALIS = Astralis win, wtf is this era

IMO Xyp9x is more dominant, look at his 1v1 winning %

2019-03-24 05:46

Xyp hasn't been performing to this level for as long as Device has been at the top of the game

2019-03-24 12:42

Xyp9x has always been consistent. Even back in the day when he was more of a entry fragger / play maker. He has always been consistent in his roles no matter what. I tend to think that's why all the rest of Astralis likes to play with him.

2019-03-25 00:39

He wasn't, he was bad for a period of time, remember that they almost kicked him out.

2019-03-25 09:08

+1 he had a long down period, hence my comment on Xyp not performing to this level for as long as Device :)

2019-03-25 13:36

Yeah you are right, device is consistently on the top.

2019-03-25 14:11

merited

2019-03-24 02:21

2019-03-24 03:00

Strange that he won 4 events in 2018 and made decent runs almost every event and was #2 team for 2018 that won most of any team after Astralis and they did that by having 2 players in top 20 only while many another teams had more top 20 players in their teams :3

2019-03-24 03:03

They did that by having 2 players in top4 FTFY

2019-03-24 03:24

Because of S1mple..

2019-03-24 03:32

i thought we are finally over this stupid nonsense discussion after the official HLTV top 1&2 rank were revealed. kids still crying and arguing about it, guys listen.... NO ONE CARES ABOUT THIS STUPID LIST.. im 100% certain that you guys care 10 times more about who got 1st and who got 2nd then they do... it blows my mind... they are 2 worldclass players and we should fucking enjoy while watching them dominate the servers.... but instead you are fucking discussing a nonsense bullshit ranking that nobody cares bout... idyets

2019-03-24 11:49

2019-03-24 14:10

Every year before 2018 #1 player played for #1 team but not in 2018 so your last comment make 0 sense device in 2018 won more MVP's and had better stats than all #1 players in 2014-2017 but still lost to S1mple who won less because he was a MUCH better player with by far better stats Kid :)

Dev1ce is the best player of the best team of all time while S0mple best player in some ruskis trash And who de fuck s0mple fans? Some 12-17 kiddos or ruskis delusional people who stucked in 16yo mentality, no matter how old they are. And all thats facts makes your comment irrelevant.

2019-03-24 02:51

If this is not a bait i really feel sorry for you , you are cringe

You just need to grow older (but not sure you can do it since all ruskis stucked with 16yo teen mentality) And you are mad, anus svincere fan.

2019-03-24 02:55

Okey now go ahead and tell that to HLTV top 20 ranking guy and device

2019-03-24 02:56

"Best player in the world is a best player in the best team in the world." ehh, no.. It doesn't go like that in any sports.

2019-03-24 03:49

"Best player in the world is a best player in the best team in the world." Do you have any idea how ridiculous this sounds? It literally says best player in the world, NOT best player in the best team in the world. World =/= best team in the world. in 2014, kennyS was arguably the best player in the world, but he wasn't in the best team in the world. However, he was ranked 6th because he didn't make enough playoffs to put his stats into proper context. You can't say the same about s1mple in 2018.

i talking about 2019 only. If you want to discuss about past you should include 2013, 2014, etc. devve was rifler and 2nd awp back then and he was absolutely beast. Where was s1mple? banned by esl for cheats

S1mple was #1 2018 did go into 2019 as #1 he have really good stats still so just because its a new year does not make him #1 anymore the year has just started Why would i wanna talk about 2013-2014 or any another year than 2018 when 2018 was device best year ? Where was S1mple ? He was #4 in 2016 He was #8 in 2017 And he did this with basicly playing for treams outside top 10 And again why you wanna bring up these years when 2018 was the most recent year and 2018 was device best year by a mile

2019-03-24 03:27

8 replies

mb bcoz i answered only about your point about THIS year? simple has lower rating at big event. Less maps played. No titels. No mvps. Thats why you was wrong about THIS year. will you keep fooling around or face facts finally ?

Jesus if you think device is better than S1mple just beacause we have changed the year and their stats is pretty much the same but the difference between Na'vI and Astralis is even bigger now than 2018 makes you stupid to think that device is better than S1mple when we are just 3-4 LAN's into 2019 And again my fact did not lie S1mple 1.32 LAN rating device 1.28 LAN rating You can bring up big events only how much you want and say he have better than S1mple but does not mean shit in reality at this point

2019-03-24 03:36

actually s1mple was #1 last year bcuz he had MUCH higher rating at BIG events. You trying speculate fact when you dont event know how this ranking works. Perfecto

2019-03-24 03:42

He was better than device by a milfe in pretty much everything you looked at The year have just started and if you think device is BETTER than S1mple because he have won something and S1mple not and have abit better rating than S1mple at big events when device team is 10x better than Na'Vi i feel sorry for you

2019-03-24 03:43

s1mple farming rating on his mates. Devve farming t1 events and mvps on his enemies. Yes devve the best player of the best team in cs history. The best player in team where everyone is starplayer and there are no 'decoys' to boost his stat on trades. The best player of the team who faced only top teams and attending only t1 events (check navi's matchhistory ;)) And devve the main contender for the player of decade status based on his placement during this decade.

2019-03-24 09:35

We can talk about that device have a higher chance to end up as #1 in 2019 because he will win way more events and S1mple will probably not win much maybe not anything at all if he dont change team soon , but to say device is better than S1mple now when the year have just started is pure bullshit

2019-03-24 03:46

Wrong again. I sad devve #1 2019 atm. And no thats not bullshit thats how ranking works

2019-03-24 09:26

Strange that every caster and so on say S1mple is above the rest because he is :3

2019-03-24 18:00

and you even worst baiter than him. Simple 2 time choked in Final Major LUL

2019-03-24 03:26

You want me to link you many games from device in major games or ?

2019-03-24 03:28

ofc simple has better stats when he plays for a worse team. device has 4 insane fraggers that will steal his kills lol

Here the braindead retard comes that dont know anything about rating

2019-03-24 02:52

Old thread where i talked about this And for people that really thinks that you get better stats because you play with bad teammates and that you will get worse rating just because you play with more good players this is for you NiKo stats got better after he joined FaZe from Mousesports even tho FaZe had much better players and was the better team coldzera stats did drop with 0.09 rating in 2018 compared to 2017 but with your logic he should have better rating right ? S1mple stats got better when he did get a better player to his team that fragged a lot ( electronic ) And the best way to look at this is if you play less rounds and you are the winning team you will get better rating and you will play against more ECO rounds aswell Astralis vs MIBR 16-0 even magisk at just 7-5 score got 1.17 rating and Xyp9x at just 14-11 score got 1.41 rating hltv.org/matches/2326417/astralis-vs-mib.. Na'Vi vs Mousesports Bo3 just look at S1mple stats here its so fucking insane how much he had to do and they still lost because his team was so fucking bad but he got the MVP for it atleast hltv.org/matches/2319701/mousesports-vs-.. Astralis is winning vs pretty much every team with ez and their round difference is so fucking good compared to Na'Vi so games like that 16-0 will happen but more like 16-6 and that means that Astralis will have more gun rounds and play against ECO more aswell while Na'Vi play way more rounds and almost lose because they have so many bots Astralis have 5 fucking players in top 20 , 4 players in top 10 Na'Vi have 2 players in top 10 and 3 players outside top 20 and Zeus and Edward have less than 1 fucking rating

2019-03-24 03:01

Dude you gotta tldr that shit.. no one's gonna read all that.

2019-03-24 03:15

If they really care they would But just read the text above ea game linked if you just want tldr

2019-03-24 03:18

No one cares

2019-03-24 03:23

You maybe dont but i know people care because i made this in a thread before retard :)

2019-03-24 03:29

This is flawed logic that has already been disproved. For starters, when you have teammates that play well and a solid team structure, everyone benefits. There's a reason why device's highest placing on a Top 20 so far was 2018 (#2). If your logic stands, then device should have been ranked WAY higher back in 2016 when his teammates didn't show up and he was still playing like a beast. because there are no "4 insane fraggers that will steal his kills", right? But that wasn't the case. Also, no player has reached the maximum number of possible frags in one game. In theory, this would be a 16-0 victory with all 5 enemy players dead every round.

2019-03-24 07:05

actually the most possible frags would be a 16-14/15-15/14-16 game where you ace every round but for whatever reason you happened to lose alot of them (defuse, out of time, bomb, etc) So 30x5 = 150 the maximum possible amount of frags in a single map is 150 Based on your logic (5x16) it would be 80

2019-03-24 07:52

thanks for correcting me but yes the point still stands

2019-03-24 08:36

Don't you think stats come secondary to winnings? s1mple could have a 1.50 rating, but it wouldn't matter if he didn't win games = trophies.

2019-03-24 10:14

Comparing ice bet challenge to major and blast hahahahahahahah. In hltv ranking they're comparing only big events.

2019-03-24 10:20

BLAST is the worst tier 1 event you can look at S1mple was #1 in basicly every rating in 2018 and the year have just started and he still have around 1.30 rating The only difference is that Astralis is playing better and Na'Vi is playing worse because electronic have become shit aswell

2019-03-24 17:52

worst tier 1 tournament with 5 out 6 top teams and nip(top8). Then starladder next week,iem sydney and similar events are tier 2 at best.Toughest opponents=most prestige to win. S1mple was top 1 in 2018 that's no doubt but in 2019 so far he's 3rd or 4th.Had been playing just one tournament. Electronic became shit lately that's why navi can't win anything.Try to find tournament when electronic wasn't posting good stats and navi won.Try to find tournament when electronic had much worse games and navi lost.Almost every single one but face it major

HAHAHAHAH Braindead retards that think you are not best player in the world anymore because you just change the year and a player have like 0.01 better rating when he plays in a WAY better team You should maybe read #67 aswell S1mple is WAY better than device nothing have changed This talk was talked about S1mple aswell in 2018 like 2-3 months into 2018 when he had monster stats everyone said just wait abit more to say he is best player Jesus

2019-03-24 18:05

We're talking here about hltv ranking not individual skill ranking.Playing in way better team means that you can't frag as much because teammates gonna steal your kills.

2019-03-24 18:08

Again read #67 you braindead silver scrub that know nothing

2019-03-24 18:14

3000 elo face it at some time,global since 2013,following scene since 2013 as well.Pretty sure I know nothing.

2019-03-24 18:16

Well seems like you still dont read #67 and you are so braindead that thinks if you play in a way better team you get worse rating because they ''steal'' kills With your knowledge im sure you are around silver

2019-03-24 18:24

I said you're getting much less kills not much less rating.Learn to read.You have clearly no idea about high level competetive play.Kinda expected from navi fanboy that you will post tons of stuff no one cares as navi/s1mple can't win anything rn.Keep being delusional because history remembers only winners.If simple joins faze one day you will see that I was right.

2019-03-24 18:31

LOL its so ez to get good rating! but Navi and simpel is only playing where they are sure to win. They was not even in this os! Astralis take alle the big event. Where the best are.!

Pretty sure the amount of money device have compared to S1mple would not effect S1mple in anyway because he already have more money than he would ever need for his lifestyle

2019-03-24 03:31

the problem I see in s1mple is that he absolutley wants a major, and cant get one, even tho he is the best player :(

2019-03-24 03:51

He is 21 he is best player in the world he have many more years to play and will get a much better team at some point Took Astralis guys basicly 4-5 years to get a major

2019-03-24 03:53

yeah, but its still sad to see him almost crying after they lost to ence :/ he will win one in the future for sure, astralis cant dominate forever, right? RIGHT :D?

No1 does , they are winning during a weakend era , teams will step up again soon i hope with good roster moves

2019-03-24 03:20

2019-03-24 03:33

The "best" or the "greatest of all time" ... Fairly fruitless discussion. Dev1ce also said it in the interview afterwards: He thanked his TEAM for setting him up. The TEAM play by Astralis is the key to his all time record of 13 MVP Awards in CS GO. S1mple is simply a different breed of cat. NaVi doesn't set him up like that, and he is not an AWP'er: He is just skilled like no one else with ANY weapon! TWO different types of players with two completely different roles on their respective teams. The "best" is just a bit childish.
