s1mple secures BLAST Pro Series Copenhagen MVP award

Oleksandr "⁠s1mple⁠" Kostyliev is the winner of the Most Valuable Player (MVP) award of BLAST Pro Series Copenhagen by HLTV.org and betway.

The Na`Vi talent won the race for the award after inspiring the Ukrainian team to win the title with a stunning 1.43 tournament rating - his third-highest at a Big Event in 2018.

Denis "⁠electroNic⁠" Sharipov, who leaves Copenhagen with a 1.32 rating, was the only other contender for the MVP medal, but his team-leading 1.54 rating in the grand final was not enough for the Russian to get ahead of his teammate.
