Yet another incredible BLAST Premier tournament is in the books and with it, we have one more name to add to our hall of fame for MAERSK MVPs.
Admittedly, it’s not easy to pick an MVP of such an event full of fierce competition, impressive shots, and brilliant plays; especially when the likes of ZywOo, NiKo, and Broky are in the zone and topping the charts. That said, our community managed the tough decision smoothly, crowning the king of BLAST Premier ‘23 Spring Groups with 51.1% of votes in our Twitter poll.
When there’s talk about the best Counter-Strike players, the name ZywOo is typically among those that have been topping this conversation for quite a few years now.
And there’s no wonder why. Currently ranked as the globe’s #2, Mathieu "ZywOo" Herbaut is a legend in the CS:GO scene with multiple prestigious trophies decorating his collection. Known to be deadly with the rifle, the 22-year-old Frenchman has been instrumental in many of Team Vitality’s accomplishments since joining the team in 2018, and it wasn’t any different in the recent Spring Groups.
Dominant from start to finish, ZywOo showed up to the server with his sharp aim and excellent trading abilities in the top form, doing absolutely everything he could to ensure that sweet spot in the Spring Final for Vitality. Needless to say, looking incredibly crisp and scary, they punched their ticket to DC as the first team to do so. Dropping an average of 22.6 kills per map throughout Spring Groups, his performances caught the eye of the community the most, and that's why he's the Spring Groups Maersk MVP.
In an interview following Team Vitality’s grand final victory over Heroic, ZywOo commented:
“I feel really great for the new year; a great start for the team! And it just feels really good to already be there so right now, we’re just gonna keep that for the next tournament.”
