SunPayus proved to be a game-changer for the Finnish side, consistently delivering impressive performances. He achieved ratings of 1.15 or higher in each of their map victories, played crucial roles in close matches against Astralis and FaZe, and emerged as ENCE’s highest-rated player in four out of their five matches.
The former Movistar Rider man’s remarkable performance placed him prominently on several event leaderboards. He achieved an impressive overall rating of 1.27 across 11 maps, securing the second spot. With 0.79 kills per round, he earned the fifth position, while his exceptional 0.54 deaths per round ranked him at number three. SunPayus’s dominance with the AWP was evident as he secured the top position with 0.46 AWP kills per round. His impactful contributions, furthermore, resulted in a solid fourth position with a 1.30 impact rating.
David “frozen” Čerňanský emerged as SunPayus’s biggest rival for the award in the grand finals. Displaying an impressive track record throughout the tournament, frozen continued to deliver an outstanding performance in the title-deciding match. It is almost certain that he will be recognized as the top Exceptionally Valuable Player.
