sdy named MVP of ESL Challenger Jönköping

The Ukrainian rifler recorded his career-best LAN event to power Monte to victory.

sdy averaged a 1.36 tournament rating to clinch his first MVP award

Viktor "⁠sdy⁠" Orudzhev has been named the Most Valuable Player of ESL Challenger Jönköping by HLTV and 1xBet after he stomped Monte's opposition in Sweden, recording a self-described "life tournament" performance en route to clinching the trophy over Eternal Fire.

Monte win ESL Challenger Jönköping undefeated

The Ukrainian rifler was the lead force in Monte for much of the tournament, trouncing TYLOO and Nouns in the group stage to make the playoffs.

His performance vs. Virtus.pro in the semi-finals (1.43 series rating) and particularly in the tight Mirage decider (1.75 rating) was the reason Monte got through to the grand final, where they best Eternal Fire to lift their first LAN trophy.

Unsurprisingly, this meant sdy sat atop a number of categories on the leaderboard, including damage difference per round (+17.6), kills per round (0.91), 1vsX clutches won (7), and 1+ kill rounds (58.8%), He also placed among the top five in KAST (78.8%, #2) and Impact rating (1.47, #2).

It is the first HLTV MVP award of sdy's career, and continues an upward trajectory for Monte who are consistently impressing in every one of their international appearances.

Use your brain? VP in attendance; GL too. These are not mickey-mouse teams. And the prize (Pro League spot) is super valuable, maybe even more so for some teams than a pure 1st place $ payment from say a $250k tourney.

This is a tier 2 tournament. There wasn't any top 5 teams and just two top ten teams , then ef who are serious onliners. But not even in a good way they don't beat big teams even online. and then a seriously weak field afterwards. Gl won't even be top 20 within 6 months once the scene has settled. Idk there's already been one weird as hell mvp with the thunderpick or betboom or whatever the hell that online cup was. Now there's two seriously unimpressive mvps relative to standard of mvps we've come to expect.

I think its because there were 2 top 10 teams in attendance. That's the requirement for the tournament to get a hltv mvp award. There might be an 8 team requirement as well but I'm not sure

1) Should have, but I guess that fact that Heroic had stand-ins has something to do with it. 2) No, NIP had a stand-in, also there were only 2 other top 20 teams both of which far from competing for top 10. + single elim format. 3) Definitely no, that was 32-team online event and only 4 top 20 teams is simply not enough.
