nawwk named Elisa Masters Espoo 2023 MVP

The Swede has won his first Most Valuable Player award.

Tim "⁠nawwk⁠" Jonasson has been named the Elisa Masters Espoo 2023 MVP by HLTV and 1xBet, making this his first time earning the accolade.

The Swede won it despite being on the losing team in the grand final, as FURIA went on to claim the hardware 3-1 after winning two of Apeks' map picks and losing one of their own.

The 26-year-old edged out Kaike "⁠KSCERATO⁠" Cerato, the other main candidate heading into the grand final, but ultimately it was nawwk's impact in round wins and his fragging that made the difference over the Brazilian, who was just as good in FURIA's map wins but didn't have quite as much impact.

A quick glance at the stats leaderboards for the event shows nawwk as the highest-rated player with a 1.28 rating. He also had the highest KDD (+63), KPR (0.84) and was second in 1+ kills per round (53.2%) and KAST (78.1%). He also had the least deaths per round (0.52).

nawwk renews deal with Apeks until 2026

This performance, which included a brilliant semi-final showing against ENCE with a 1.42 rating, a 1.81 in the first match against FURIA in the group stage, and even a second-best 1.17 tied with KSCERATO in the grand final, is a boon for Apeks, who just renewed their AWPer until 2026.

He’s 26? I thought he was closer to 22-24. I swear he’s only appeared a few years ago… I love nawwk but now I wonder if apeks made a mistake signing him till he’s 28

I dont think nawwk has any intention of ever leaving since Apeks basically secured his future and can just retire without being screwed.

i honestly think that with time the "golden years" for cs players will increase even more, before there weren't psychological coach, coach in general and all the structure teams have right now. It seems only logical that we will see more 30 years old still delivering not being IGL in the future.

I can see that, still though if I’m and org I’d argue it’s a risky choice especially for someone like nawwk who isn’t the best awper, he’s good, but not great

definitely a risky choice, my comment has footprints on the future and nawwk could not be included. But i would say it's pretty rare to see players having that long high quality career in other sports aswell, since they could lower their "league" for performance issue, we just have a smaller range of pro teams compared. So you have 30~40 godlike players instead of 100~ godlike players like in Serie A (for example, not really the same since cs team have 5 players instead of 20 teams of 23-30 players)

I believe he said in an interview he started playing cs seriously around 2015-16. His first team on hltv is 2018, so it's not like he doesnt have time to still improve.

If he keeps playing like this, other orgs will surely be interested in buying him out of his contract. It boosts the value of Apeks vs the big orgs with the deep pockets.

being MVP dosent have anything to do with winning the tournament, nawwk rlly manage to perform like A MONSTER throughout the champ, but his team didnt followed up, KSCERATO performed good, along with his team, no embarass at all, ZywOo have a lot of MVP's of champs he didnt win, and he is one of the most respected players of the world.

To the people saying he should not have got it: nawwk 1.28 rating KSCERATO 1.19 rating It is most valuable player. Not most valuable player on the winning team.

I say no sense giving someone on the winning team MVP when there was someone who was quite clearly better on the losing team. Regardless of who it is. It's not as though we are comparing nawwk to Elige for instance, who had about the same rating but only played about 1/3rd of the maps by virtue of being out in round 2 of groups.
