🇪🇪 @Ropz finished the Grand Final as the highest-rated player on either team. He went home without the medal.
📊 @TeamVitalityCS 3-0 @Natusvincere, Fort Worth Grand Final:
- @ropz - 1.55
- @zywoo - 1.29
- @flameZcsgo - 1.28
- @w0nderfulof (#NAVI top) - 1.07
Across the full playoffs, ropz averaged 1.42 - the best on #Vitality. flameZ landed at 1.33, ZywOo at 1.32.
What flipped the MVP race?
A 2.18-rated Dust 2 from ZywOo on the third map of the final, plus ropz's quiet group stage (0.90 vs @FUTesportsgg in the opener) that left him just shy on total maps played.
#ZywOo himself didn't dispute it. He told HLTV he expected the medal to go to ropz or flameZ, then joked: "For once, I'll say I robbed them." He even framed it as payback - ropz took the MVP off him at @BLASTPremier Open Rotterdam in March with a 1.54 playoff rating, his sixth career MVP and first since CAC 2023.
Fort Worth keeps the pattern alive: when the playoffs start, ropz raises his level. The medal math doesn't always agree.
🧐 Worth knowing - Rotterdam in March was the first time anyone other than ZywOo had won an MVP in this Vitality lineup. Two months later, ZywOo paid the favor back.
