dupreeh: "The MVP is a personal achievement I've been wanting for a long time"

21-5-2018 02:45

To close out our coverage of ESL Pro League Season 7 Finals, we talked to the tournament's MVP by HLTV & Betway, Peter "dupreeh" Rasmussen, about the award, the grand final, and Astralis' outlook in the Intel Grand Slam.

With a 3-1 win over Liquid in the grand final of the Dallas event, Astralis have added the second trophy to their cabinet in 2018 after clinching the title last month at DreamHack Masters Marseille.

Peter "⁠dupreeh⁠" Rasmussen was awarded the Most Valuable Player following a fantastic performance throughout the tournament, so we had a chat with the 25-year-old about their second win within the last month and about the first MVP award of his career:

2018-05-21 08:21

no logic there since s1mple won an MVP when astralis won the event :D

2018-05-21 18:05

s1mple was in the final and played godlike there as well, nik0 wasn't and dupreeh was better overall than device so not that strange

2018-05-21 09:37

How was simple in final?

Like in the final game, after semifinals

2018-05-21 10:08

when s1mple won the mvp of marseille he played in the final against Astralis. Nik0 was the highest rated here but he was not in the finals

2018-05-21 12:35

Last I checked niko and device aren’t a solid 0.12 above anyone else at the tournament, that’s why he won them

it's not about the rating but it's all in-game contribution counts. if u followed every Astralis matches on this event then u'll found out why he's voted as a mvp.

2018-05-21 03:15

Explained +1

2018-05-21 06:51

cry is free. g2 not even set foot in the event.

2018-05-21 04:01

2018-05-21 04:24

dupreeh always make plays with fantastic entry frag, device always have exit frag. That's the diffrence. Totally deserve

2018-05-21 11:58

are u sure all device's kill is exit frag, if u think that, sure that you never watching cs

2018-05-22 13:32

Well deserved

The mvp should be given to gla1ve, 1.25 rating being igl it’s realky impressive, plus he was one of the best players in the final

The MVP medal is not given out to people based on things you can't quantify. For all we know, some of the key calls made in rounds by Astralis could have been by another member at the time, much like Cold has calls a lot of crucial overtime rounds for SK in the past, but people would give Fallen all the credit for them, just assuming it was him. Being an IGL doesn't give you extra points towards MVP medals unfortunately, just as a support player doesn't. You wouldn't give Xyp9x the MVP because he supports his team mates/throws flashes and he played well. You give it to the most standout, most impactful individual player at the event.

2018-05-21 05:02

Then they should give it to device cause he had better stats than durpreeh

2018-05-21 10:27

dupreeh always make plays with fantastic entry frag, device always have exit frag. That's the diffrence. Totally deserved for Dup

2018-05-21 12:00

yeeeeeees bitch YASSSSSSSSSSS

Deserved! gg

2018-05-21 03:16

I wouldn't be happy with an undeserved MVP but good for him

so who deserved it more in your opinion?

2018-05-21 13:38

dev1ce obviously

fuck its dev1ce's mvp

2018-05-21 03:48

congratulation Duppe!!!

2018-05-21 03:57

Deserved

2018-05-21 04:21

he only got mvp because he has Ellen Degeneres hair so the sjw and feminists have to have him get mvp otherwise esports are discriminating and misogynist

2018-05-21 05:07

+1 actually true

2018-05-21 07:51

+1 You saw through the disguise, SJWs and feminists er taking over, the days of men are over, brother

2018-05-21 09:57

Jordan Peterson gon be our mvp.

2018-05-21 12:55

2018-05-21 07:08

I actually thought Magisk would get it.

2018-05-21 07:32

Me also but apparently second after dupreeh was device,then gla1ve

2018-05-21 13:01

I think that Magisk was so vital in winning this tournament. It felt like this dude was able to win almost every clutch scenario that he was in. But I can understand why Dupreeh got it.
