910 earns career-first MVP at YaLLa Compass

The MongolZ's AWPer dominated the groups and maintained a high floor with timely peaks in the playoffs to cement his place at the top of the tournament.

Usukhbayar "⁠910⁠" Banzragch has been awarded the HLTV x 1XBET MVP for YaLLa Compass 2024 after The MongolZ won the title over Ninjas in Pyjamas.

The 21-year-old sniper topped the event's leaderboards for Kill Differential (+54) and Kills per Round (0.79) as the stable base behind The MongolZ's leap towards the trophy.

He hit peaks of 1.62, 1.37, and 1.70 in successive group-stage best-of-ones to put The MongolZ on top spot and advance straight to the semi-finals, where he was the key man as his side outlasted Astralis.

A 35-frag effort on the decider of Ancient — which dragged into double overtime — in the semi-finals confirmed 910 as his team's leading MVP candidate, after a solid performance on Nuke that included a 1v3 clutch.

Artem "⁠r1nkle⁠" Moroz was his main competitor pre-final, but both AWPers dropped off on Championship Sunday, particularly r1nkle on the final map.

Azbayar "⁠Senzu⁠" Munkhbold made a late charge by posting the highest rating on two of the three maps of the grand final, but his spotty record beforehand was in direct opposition to 910's consistency, leaving the sniper as the top candidate.
